How windy is it down there - any risk of it PPing the game?
I'll be setting off from Aberdeen at 4pm to attend this one, and will be annoyed if I get there to find that the ref doesn't fancy it !
Cheers.

With Ayr being away on Saturday I was going to come down to the cup game. I’m going to guess there’s no chance of the game going ahead with the predicated heavy rain every day this week
The SJFA fixtures website is showing it as having been moved to Cambusdoon 3G.
No Annbank fixture this week to beat you to that venue, which they have been using whilst New Pebble Park is soggy.

LTHV 4-1 Easthouses at Almondvale... sets-up LTHV v Preston at Saughton next Wednesday.
...if Saughton is playable!
At tonight's game, I was told by a LTHV official that Saturday's game v Arniston will also be at Almondvale.

And it's worrying that Craigroyston have scratched from the King Cup, rather than playing the R2 fixture at Dunipace on Tuesday 25th Feb...

Broxburn 4 Dunbar 3 Despite the bad weather, what a cracking game of football. Must of been tough for both sets of players as there where plenty of mistakes. Lucky we all had seats and cover to watch it. who knows, maybe next year we can be back
Another neutral at this one, as were three others I knew who I bumped into. Great entertainment.
Drier under cover than I had been when stood out at an Amateur fixture in the morning!
From what I was told, you might be back sooner than next year - Almondvale has apparently been provisionally booked for your next home fixture on Feb 29th, in case the weather prevents the remaining works at Albyn Park being finished off in time.
All the best for the remainder of the season.

Would say that there was 90 or so at the Perthshire Vs Bellshill game going from the pics taken
Sorry for being late with this one : my headcount was 104 at Glasgow Perthshire 7-1 Bellshill on Saturday 8th Feb.

All of Annbank's remaining scheduled fixtures are now showing as at Cambusdoon 3G on the SJFA fixtures website.
Sat 21 March v Vale Of Clyde
Sat 28 March v Maybole
Sat 11 April v Yoker
Sat 18 April v Muirkirk
Unless a typo, this implies they've given up on New Pebble Park being playable this season.

They cant get Townhead park this Saturday as Lugar are playing on it

Lugar v Thorniewood showing as at Rosebank on all fixture outlets.
If it has been moved to avoid the anticipated weather, please publicize. Thanks.

Have Sauchie CFC played home games at 3 different venues now? Sauchie, Grangemouth and now Xcite Linlithgow?
They also used Alloa Athletic's Inodrill Stadium (3G) vs Bo'ness CFC.
They have had to go elsewhere whenever the EoSFL first team have also been given a Saturday Home fixture. The first team were away on Saturday, but general sogginess of Beechwood caused the move to Xcite.

To be honest, I was surprised when KLB were mentioned as the west coast side, my initial thought was perhaps a reformed Lochbroom moving to winter football.
Precisely my reaction too.
Earlier this season I saw Lewis & Harris using the Ullapool School 3G to play Invergordon in one of the NCL cups. The expectation is that Lochbroom will reform and play out of there. Could be either/both summer/winter football. Ullapool U17s play on it on winter-season Sundays in the Highland League U17s North.

The reason the NCL season starts so late (and finishes so early) is because players are still on duty for summer-league clubs.
KLB haven't played in their own village for quite a few years, so I'm not sure where the rumour of alternating names/pitches comes from - they are now established playing out of Scourie only, so would surely continue just there, competing in both summer and winter football if they wished. It is indeed a great-quality pitch, also used by shinty, and had recently had a smart hall built alongside when I saw a NW Sutherland summer league game there in 2015. On that blue-sky day there weren't many better places in the world to be watching fitba. In the winter it'd be severely exposed to the incoming westerly weather though!

Having only ever been to West Calder for a cup tie, I cant remember there being a school nearby - so looked on Google Maps.
Have to say, if the 3g pitch is the one Google Maps is showing at the school to be then Linlithgow have every right to complain.
It looks to be at least 2 pitch lengths from the changing rooms - If you are playing at the school then why aren't they using facilities at the school?
The school is quite new. The 3G pitch is at the south end, and a gate in the south corner was open, so it's 300m from Hermand Park ( = 3 & a half minutes' walk, quicker if you jog). The way it was put to me it wasn't the distance that was being objected to, rather that they deemed it too muddy. And as said before driving round was proposed but refused.
I was told that the janitor at the school knocks off at 3:30pm, so with a 1:30pm start meaning a 3:15pm finish they couldn't realistically use the school changing rooms. And they couldn't have started sooner because there were other games on it earlier.
The West Calder players had a bounce game instead, walking from and back to Hermand Park. Nobody died.

How very clever.
Back on topic : one Junior team shows initiative to get a game on, another is allegedly 'at it' and can't be bothered.
Any sensible replies are welcome, especially from LRCFC should it be the case that they feel I was mis-informed.

West Calder United showed great initiative ahead of the forecast weather by booking the new school's 3G pitch for Saturday's league fixture v Linlithgow Rose CFC, their own Hermand Park grass pitch having no chance. News of that move came out on Thursday.
As an 'enthusiast' (not the word my ex wife used when divorcing me!) of seeing games played on different grounds, I went to this, being bothered to get up at 05:30, being bothered to walk half an hour through the woods in the dark for the first train of the day, being bothered to trek through the morning winds & rain getting soaking wet.
I got there, to be told that it was off because the visitors Linlithgow Rose CFC had deemed the path from the changing rooms at Hermand Park to the school 3G to be too muddy for them, so they refused to play. I was told that WCU had suggested driving round to the school, but LRCFC had refused that too.
Cheers guys. 'Thanks very much'...
I'd be interested in your side of the story. Presuming that isn't too much effort for you to bother to put in.
Not amused.

Thanks again to all clubs and supporters for your continued help.
Thurso v Orkney (played at Halkirk). Free in (no gate taken), but I headcounted 44 of us stood out and a further 8 watching through windscreens = 52.

SFF has a nice, clear, and readable page for each competition, with full club names being used. https://scottishfootballfixtures.wordpress.com/east-juniors-19-20/ Whereas you have small columns and crap web design so you need to skimp on characters and abbreviate them. Plus it concentrates solely on Scottish football.
And SFF is for people who actually GO to games, with venue-change info.

Weekend attendance / headcount 7/12/19
Any help with missing would be greatly appreciated thanks.
There were 31 of us at Sauchie Juniors CFC v Boness Utd Juniors (played on Alloa Athletic's plastic since Sauchie EoSFL were also H).
32 if you also count the tea-hut lady, which she had thankfully opened even for such a borrowing of the ground (because there anyway to let folks in - she is the keyholder). Best tea hut in Scottish football. "Black & Gold pie" = pie with rimmed edge, baked beans on top of the lid within that edge, slice of black pudding the same circular size as the pie on top of the lot. Masterchef presentation of fitba food !

The draw for the next round is always about 10 days after the original date for the previous round. But there is usually a longer wait between the last round of the calendar year and the draw for the next round at the end of January.
For those who are used to still being in the cup at this stage it's nothing unusual.
Last season R5 was drawn on Friday night 7th Dec 2018 on the Just The Juniors radio show. That it would be so, had been announced the Friday before (30th Nov.) - the day before R4 replay Saturday.
Nothing announced on the equivalent Friday this season.

There WILL be linos for this match, not just the ref trying to handle it solo. Both linos will be locals from the Aberdeen RA :

PP due to "grass on the pitch" one time at Colony Park !
Pitch had been mown, but the boy hadn't gathered up the cuttings.

I was told at Tuesday's LTHV fixture at Almondvale that they had also booked it for Saturday's v Arniston. But then West Calder United (Juniors) said they're now at Almondvale for a 2:30 fixture, saying that they got it because one of the 2 of LTHV v Arniston didn't want to play there (!!).
There's only one pair of community changing rooms. So if LTHV are playing anybody there it would either have to be an early/late KO, or on the outside 3G cage arriving already in kit and driving home for a shower.
