And it’s Fife again this week, the once industrial town of Methil. The town was famously referenced by the twins from Auchtermuchtie.

I've never been to East Fife's Ground either old or new,

Come to think of it I'm not sure whether I've ever been to Methil!

If so thanks George. If not I look forward to the next one

I wonder if the Countess of Fife has every graced Bayview (old or new)?
