vikingTON Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Has the North-East section always been stuffed from top to bottom with utter diddies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have Brora, the 4 Angus sides, Elgin & Peterhead = 7. Remaining 'half' would contain 25 clubs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Is this a seeded draw? Regionalised. No seeding. Meadowbank last hosted CC tie in Sep 1995, IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsforlife Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It would be interesting to see them maybe draw a different boundary now and then. Being regionalised and chucked in with the longest possible journeys whilst close by clubs are in a different region isn't great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Only way you could do that would be to have 3 regions (which couldn't be of equal sizes as 32 doesn't divide by 3); or have 4 regions i.e. next season: North Brora, Elgin, Peterhead, Arbroath, Brechin, Forfar, Montrose, East Fife (!) East Cowdenbeath, Dunfermline, Raith, Edinburgh City, Hibs, Berwick, Livingston, Alloa (!) Central East Stirlingshire, Falkirk, Stenhousemuir, Stirling, Airdrie, Albion Rovers, Airdrie, Dumbarton (!) South-West Queen's Park, Rangers, Morton, St Mirren, Ayr, Annan, QotS, Stranraer I think the current system works fairly well: if the idea is to prevent fans having a journey from one end of the country to the other on the first day of the season. It was also sensible that they started regionalising R2 a couple of years ago - as it was always odd that R1 was, but then R2 on a midweek was not.

Marshmallo Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 They could just swap Hibs and Livingston with Stenhousemuir and the Shire, gives a 5/5/5/1 split in each region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sloop John B Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Third Division dross away please preferably Annan. Ideally with Hibs Vs Rangers and the rest of the Championship sides playing each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviLion Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Like last year I don't think I'll make this game so preferably a winnable tie at a stadium I've already been to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
