Spartans Tournament - Saturday 12th & Sunday 13th July

Anyone thinking of going to this one at the weekend?

Was hoping to drive through but not sure of the price to get in, anyone seen this?

I've asked the same question regarding the admission but as far as I'm aware, no prices have came out from Livingston's point of view.

I'll be heading along with Lexi Collector on the Saturday. Unfortunately working on the Sunday so won't be there to see us pick up the trophy.

Can't imagine it will be too pricey in any case.

We're on first at 1 vs. Dunfermline

£5 adults, £3 concessions, and £2 for programs.

Grim O Grade on P&B has posted up plenty info about the tournament. 5 notes for a day ticket (3 for jnrs) and we play Dunfermline at 1pm tomorrow. There will be a programme available as well.

Thoroughly looking forward to it.

Grim O Grady that is.

Probably the closest we'll get to a cup final for a while, looking forward to it.

Anyone else heading through for all the matches, or just to watch ours?

Looking forward to this a lot now. Hope we get plenty goals and see some impressive performances from the new players.

Declan Gallagher is an absolute standout. Not great fare elsewhere though.

None of us will.

1-0 to the Pars, we play the losers of Falkirk v Spartans tomorrow.

Took a stroll across to this one. Few players look good, Gallagher, hippolyte, Oglebay and White. All look like great additions.

Donaldson looked out of place, glen did try but just didn't go his way, McKenna looked sharp when he came on and Robertson looked as if he could control midfield if asked to do so. Very loud and encouraging, didn't see much of the ball though.

Player I'm most looking forward to seeing is by far hippolyte, looks deadly

I don't like to get too despondent at lost friendlies, what with the squad still taking shape and players getting to know each other etc - that said I saw few positives today. As mentioned previously Gallagher looked excellent, and McKenna looked bright. Nothing about the rest stood out though. I disagree about Hippolyte, Achilles - didn't see anything that would suggest he was going to be deadly.

He seems to have a type of hunger and motivation that hasn't been seen at livi in years. He looked as if he would run all day for lost balls etc. I think maybe deadly was a poor choice of words but I think he will be the one to watch this year

Falkirk got humped 4-1 by Spartans, doesn't have any bearing on how the season will go.

Morel about getting the right balance in the team and sussing out who plays best alongside others to give us the strongest starting 11.

Poor choice of words from me too, because obviously I didn't mean that his performance today would shape his season. I merely meant that I didn't think he was all that good today - here's hoping he rips someone a new one in his next game.

Fantastic result for the Spartans in the second game by the way. I was hoping to play them in the second game, pay tribute to the hosts etc.

Falkirk's side was an Under 20 team.

I thought we did okay today but seemed to go through frustrating periods in the final third, as we did last year. Pre-season though so not too concerned. Decent build-up and fairly solid at the back throughout.

Anyone know how we got on today?

Won 3-0. Mckenna & Mullen x 2
