Are viewing figures released for that channel? Could be the lowest ever for a Scottish competitive game? Imagine Celtic pubs may stick it on and ultimate die-hards at home. No free-to-air TV coverage for the cup in Northern Ireland, btw, just Scotland/Wales. I believe they submit they;re viewing figures to BARB and we'll be able to see them 10-14 days after the event. I got into a discussion on their official Facebook page with them, and they said: Quote [we] Think it is a great idea to give them [U20s] some experience of facing part and full time teams.

Smokie_Bacon_crisps Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I was wondering if anyone knew the permatations if a first round match ends in a draw. Is the game played on the evening to a result? via extra time then penalties if they are required or is there a replay or straight to penalties? I can't see anything explained on the SPFL website http://spfl.co.uk/news/article/irn-bru-cup--first-round-draw/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to the peg sellers in the next round [emoji4] Apparently we are playing mostly our under 20 and few fringe players so you might be disappointed and progress This one is for the ultra diehards on both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right though, total "heids gone" by certain people in Scottish football with these prices. It was only £10 at Firhill on Saturday for Thistle v Queen's in the League Cup, so well done Thistle. And well done to clubs like Stirling who have sensibly reduced prices for their Irn Bru Cup ties. How anyone can expect fans to pay full price for games v U20s teams is beyond me. If U20 sides are to be a permanent feature of this tournament then the rules for minimum pricing need to changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 £5/£2 for Motherwell u20s vs Edinburgh City at Fir Park. I'll probably head along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was the same prices at Hampden then I would probably head along there on Tuesday - it's less than 15 minutes walk from where I live. At £12 there's no chance I'm going. I like the Challenge Cup - Queen's were semi finalists last season and it gives the lower division teams a chance to win some silverware. The introduction of U20s has been badly managed and the problems of overpricing and changes of venue have damaged the credibility of the tournament.

capt_oats Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Also something I was wondering, presumably our 20s will then be cup tied for the competition if the end up going out on a Dev loan to a team still involved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d31 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 I presume there is no overage players in the u20s teams? which is different from the u20s league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that would seem straightforward you'd think. I was just curious given the nature of the development loan where a player can still represent the parent club's u20 side while being out on loan.

scottmcleanscontacts Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Saints charging 8 quid for Adults to watch the 20s against Turriff United FFS.It's on the Season Ticket as well but that's ridiculous pricing for those that don't have one.

Smokie_Bacon_crisps Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Some interesting facts from Colin Paterson in the Daily Record. "YOUNGSTERS on a Development Loan from a Premiership outfit will be eligible to play for their parent club's under-20s in the IRN-BRU Cup, with the exception of those who are cup-tied. No trialists are permitted which means only signed and registered players can feature in games" On top of prize / exit monies All 54 clubs will receive £740 of stock from AG Barr, the competition sponsors, which will normally come in the form of Strathmore bottled water. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/irn-bru-cup-how-much-8196025#QQ7SFjPMAxSD8EzP.97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Surely that can't be right? So a player could be on loan at Annan from Celtic but play for Celtic against Annan in this competition? This is absolutely mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye they can play in the development league and youth cup but I would imagine they could only play for 1 side in the Irn Bru cup. never ever know with the SPFL though!
