Poet of the Macabre Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Entry to the William Hill Scottish Cup extended to the East of Scotland and South of Scotland Football League champions and the winners of the Scottish Amateur FA Cup.

cmontheloknow Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Unless it was revoked, not sure what the first part of that refers to as the winners of those leagues have qualified since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Was in the SFA statement about McRae becoming the new president. Crichton, Stirling Uni and Lothian Thistle Hutchie Vale are three I can think of to have qualified that way (the winners have otherwise been Full Members, and Stirling Uni eventually gained that). Seems like someone at the SFA is clueless. Shocker eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprisingly, Celtic, despite winning it the most often, have never won it three times in succession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 As Cmontheloknow says the East of Scotland and South of Scotland league champions have been entitled to qualify since 2007-08, when the Scottish Cup was made "all-in" and the winners of the 3 Junior Regions and the Scottish Junior Cup were allowed to qualify too. Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale qualified last season and this season, and before that Crichton and Stirling University also did so. But it wouldn't surprise me if the media moguls at the SFA barely know what the EOS and SOS leagues are. Admitting the Amateur Cup winner is new. Current holders are Harestanes from Kirkintilloch. Criteria to host ties are actually very minimal, IIRC, in contrast to the criteria to join the SFA. Roped-off pitch and certain requirements regarding the pavilion. If incompliant/unavailable you're supposed to move ties to the "nearest ground of an SFA member club of at least equivalent capacity", IIRC. I recall Crichton couldn't use Hospital Park.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I'm not too familiar with the Amateur Cup. Does this mean that an actual pub team could qualify for the Scottish Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 I play football on the astro next to where Harestanes Amateurs play, and have to agree with RobRoyGuy, theres no way in hell they can play a Scottish cup tie at their home, just a shame for the town of Kirkintilloch that Adamslie (Rob Roys old ground) isnt in use anymore or they couldve played there. Still cant believe the pub team so close to where I live are in the senior Scottish Cup! hibeejibee, do they play in the qualifying round or are they straight into R1?

HibeeJibee Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 You'd be amazed how relaxed the ground criteria are. Until this season Coldstream were playing off, literally, a public park with a rope around it. Harestanes will enter in the preliminary/ies.

'Pub team' a little disrespectful - they have players who have appeared at a decent level throughout the team. The pub teams don't enter the Scottish Amateur Cup.
