19QOS19 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I can understand it'll make their life easier to have some kind of pre-set system as opposed to a random draw but if it means the top seed is always at home to the second seed then it appears to be very much in place to help the 'big boys' get out of the group.

No surprise in that really, every competition is probably the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. What a load of bollocks that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It looks that way. In addition to being at home to the second seed, the first seed also got the preceding midweek off, giving extra rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if that's the whole point of having a top seed/second seed system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It's almost as if that's the whole point of having a top seed/second seed system. The point is to make it slightly easier for the 'bigger' teams, yes. But that's done in the form of them not being able to draw another 'big team'. Ensuring they have home advantage against their (should be) closest competitor is slightly taking the piss I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 No, that's the advantage of being a top seed rather than a second seed being established in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 On holiday for the first and perhaps second game, if we have a midweek tie between the first two Saturdays. Only been to QotS, so hopefully it's either that away or a home game first. As top seeds, we should obviously be looking to top the group, but given the fact we're perennial shitehouses when it comes to the cups, I wouldn't be shocked to see us finish bottom. Also, does booitsme still post on here? I've not seen his name in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somebody on Twitter was saying EK are planning on putting up a stand for the Cup games which will add 304 seats to the 500 capacity. It holds 660 right now m74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephens Green Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Work started 2 weeks ago at k park on the new stand behind the goals, should take the capacity up to around a thousand I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam2304 Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Happy with the draw and the fixture arrangement is exactly what I wanted, home to Accies and away to EK and QOS. Early return to Cliftonhill for the Dunlops as well, should be a good pre-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Our game vs EK's been moved to 2pm. No idea why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 EK twitter says away fans (accommodated in the new stand) will be ticketed. Home fans will be pay at the gate. Admission £10 & £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
