Make it so. Berwick is even longer overdue though. Especially since we've had them at Cappielow in cups three times since we were last there.

HibeeJibee Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 It's worth saying that although the SPFL schedule has dates Sat-Wed-Sat-Wed-Sat, last season the midweeks were actually scheduled for Tuesdays. Aside from the alteration of the playing order in the Motherwell & Rangers group, last season these were the exceptions in the schedule:Due to TV coverage Arbroath v Dundee Utd on Friday 15th July East Stirlingshire v Rangers on Friday 22nd July Rangers v Stranraer on Monday 25th July Dundee Utd v Dunfermline on Sunday 31st July (Motherwell v Rangers and St Johnstone v Falkirk were also shown on Saturdays)Other reasons Airdrie v Partick on Friday 15th July ... to avoid clashing with Motherwell v Rangers Cove v Raith on Friday 15th July ... groundsharing with Forfar who were also at home Edinburgh City v Livingston on Wednesday 20th July ... Meadowbank used for athletics on Tuesdays Cove v Montrose on Wednesday 27th July ... groundsharing with Forfar who were also at home Edinburgh City v Hamilton ... Meadowbank used for athletics on Tuesdays Arbroath v Cowdenbeath on Wednesday 27th July ... ?? Originally both Inverness and Ross County had one of their Saturday games delayed onto Sunday to avoid clashes of stewarding pools - and this meant Alloa v Ross County being scheduled for a Wednesday (i.e. so they didn't have 2 games in 3 days) - but with large crowds not expected they reverted to Saturdays and Tuesdays. Anyone remember why Arbroath v Cowdenbeath was adjusted? Anyway with City moving to Ainslie Park and Cove not qualifying most of those exceptions have disappeared.

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 12 minutes ago, HibeeJibee said: Other reasons Airdrie v Partick on Friday 15th July ... to avoid clashing with Motherwell v Rangers That's not accurate. Our clash with Airdrie was moved simply because the two clubs agreed it between themselves. There was no policing/stewarding/logistical issue with the game to be played on the Saturday, the clubs just arranged between themselves to make it the Friday night.

HibeeJibee Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I know but I thought the reason was to avoid clashing with the 'big' game the next day in order to encourage home fans in particular? Sure I read that. If I dreamt it then my apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what the motive from Airdrie's perspective, maybe they were hoping to attract more neutrals with it being the only game on in the central belt, but it suited Thistle to play it and we've developed a habit of playing cup games on Friday nights(see St Mirren in the Scottish Cup in 2015/16) I don't think there was ever a clarified reason(saying it's moved because of x) which led to speculation from supporters of both sides.

Phillips455 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Hoping for Airdrie in the draw. Been so long since we have played them, that i don't think i was born or old enough to remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
