Our visit to Gayfield Park on Saturday was the final visit of the forty two grounds. This also meant we finished up our trek round the lower league of Scottish football.
We've been to such exotic places as Annan and Elgin. We managed a stop off at the National Stadium to watch Queen's Park play Albion Rovers.
I'll be honest and admit that the football on offer isn't always the greatest, but the passion and banter has meant that I've enjoyed watching football at this end of the spectrum way more than the top league in the country.
I'm sure we'll be back for some of the play off games later in the season, until then here are the facts from Division 3.

This is the price that it would have been for all the games but due to the kindness of Duncan Ferguson, we were given tickets for Arbroath and Montrose.
Money spent on programmes: £18.00
Attendance: 5,431
Money spent on pies: £14.20 - This is using the one per person per game ration. I may have had more than this however on a few occasions.
Goals scored: 33
Total mileage: 1,973
Top three pies: Albion Rovers 8/10, East Stirling & Montrose 7.5/10.
Top three goals:
Dad:
1. Paul Emslie. Peterhead vs Montrose. From forty yards out, Emslie lobbed the Montrose keeper.
2. Jamie Stevenson. East Stirling vs Elgin City. A cracking thirty yard free kick that curled in to the top corner. The keeper had no chance.
3. Darren Gribbin. Berwick Rangers vs Stranraer. Gribben latched on to a fantastic ball before turning and twisting past the static Stranraer defence before slotting the ball in to the corner.
Me.
1. Jamie Stevenson. East Stirling vs Elgin City. As above. I think this gets my vote as Goal of the Season.
2. Paul Emslie. Peterhead vs Montrose. As above.
3. Mick Jack. Annan Athletic vs East Stirling. A curling right foot effort from the edge of the box for Annan. Annan were three up after 19 minutes, all three goals came within a four minute blitz.
Worst ground: Cliftonhill (Albion Rovers)
Special pie league mention: Best pie in Scotland Contender - Albion Rovers
Most witnessed side: East Stirling & Stranraer, 3 times each.
Best game atmosphere: East Stirling vs. Buckie Thistle - Scottish Cup game. Buckie Thistle got a bloke sent off after he punched one of his team mates. Mental.
