They put Rovers out of the cup at Cliftonhill last season and we beat them 9 years ago in the cup at Forthbank. Rovers have been doing quite well, we’ve played several games less than other LL sides. Add to that SU had a very good season last year and that Rovers are recently relegated as well as the convenience of being at Stirling all combine to have us on TV. 
 

despite all this I’m surprised!

I was at the game 9 years ago.

Probably more to do with the Uni having a good run last season which the BBC missed due to their Darvel love in.

To be fair, the TV picked Pollok 3 times for live tv coverage and Darvel only twice.  Think the first Pollok live Tv game was cancelled due to BBC coverage of the queens' funeral

Aye first Pollok game got bumped for the funeral, they showed the one against Annan to make up for it. If the queen's funeral hadn't been on they would have just been picked twice.

I don't think they picked the Pollok game to make up for it as I'm sure both teams got paid the expected money from that cancelled first round tie, (I'll speak to one of the Pollok committee soon and find out) and the BBC deemed Pollok V Annan tie, which was a cracker and the previous Cumnock v Dumbarton tie to be good viewing games.  Two games that small clubs had a slight chance of winning, BBC thinking giant killing games to people who don't know much about the lower level of football

I see Rovers are going to "Armadale no surrender Thistle" in the south challenge Cup..........

Not far too travel along the A89,should be a good crowd there. 

Wide steer the Regal Bar around the corner from Volunteer park,its the hardcore of "ra peepul" pubs in the town.

The "Highlander" just up thru the Cross is your best bet 👌

"Armadale no surrender Thistle" what a load of pish, no bigotry at Volunteer Park.

However your point about the Regal, sadly is valid so at least you got one thing right.

Aye, utter shite. The town is what is and to be fair The Regal is no worse than any other pub in Armadale or other towns around there. The work done by the club has been excellent.

Albion Rovers FC:

«And thats full time;
 
Colts 1 - 1 Rovers

A match little of chances from either sides but @niyah_joseph deflected strike means we leave Broadwood with a deserved point.

We play @fairydeanrovers on Tuesday, we hope to see you there 👊»
