Raith, Alloa, Cowdenbeath and Brechin. Could have been a lot worse, managed to avoid Dundee and pick up two of the lowest unseeded teams.
Think it's Alloa & Cowdenbeath away, Raith and Brechin at home.
I expect Richard and the boys will delighted to see good fitba man Malky Mackay back in the game when they next get the opportunity to spout their nonsense.
Also probably seal clapping at the prospect of plastic pitches being removed from are game. Richard was almost giddy with excitement on Monday night when they mentioned it.
If all the other clubs don't want it, there's not much we can do. Would be incredibly petty and short-sighted given the usage throughout UEFA competitions as mentioned by FF.
Generates additional income, gives kids and other football clubs an additional place to play in West Lothian, very questionable evidence over its impact on injuries. I imagine at least one of the other clubs will agree with its continued usage.
We'll be playing on it next season regardless.
Wouldn't say Diani would be a direct replacement for Bartley. More likely to be an upgrade (based on the very little I've seen) on what Holt was trying to do. Holt could then potentially buzz around the park like Bartley.

Bartley new assistant. Hoping he does actually concentrate on that rather than trying to balance it with playing every week.
I think the first and second seeds were historically a lot stronger in the North. I'd still say that's the case this season but less so than previously.
Would have to look at the non seeds more closely but I'm sure you're right.
Yep, I jumped the gun. I imagine he will be de facto assistant.
I always felt like Dougie Imrie was one that got away during his playing days. Exciting that he is the one helping to get the academy back under way.

Callum Carson implying Fox is moving to another team in the Scottish Premiership.
Not sure if it's been confirmed before but Callum Carson reporting we accepted a guaranteed £1.7m for Dykes. Presumably in 2 installments given we had to take out a Scottish Government loan.
There should be 100% capacity crowds after 21 June in England not 50% come August. As an aside, that 1st response Jesus wept !
Yeah, indeed. Presumably extra tickets will be made available for the Wembley Euros games if they do relax all restrictions.
Martindale mentioned a number of clubs in the top 6 in England (he later said Top 8 ) had been in touch with him. Also that the guys he had been offered had been involved in 'men's football', a market he was previously not able to access.
Got to imagine it's left-back cover rather than left midfield/wing.
Anderson, Hamilton and Reilly should be 3 good, different options for us. Questions over whether Kouider-Aissa and Poplatnik will still be here if we're running with a 'reduced squad'.
The Courier understands the club are pursuing a loan move for a goalkeeper and left-sided player from the English Premiership as well as a pair of centre-backs with several years of experience in English League Two whose contracts are coming to an end.
