The first two rounds of the King Cup 2020-21 has been drawn on Twitter. Changing Twitter handles to club names may have led to an error.

Craigroyston are missing as I believe they pulled out last year when they were having their difficulties. That leaves 30 teams with Kennoway Star Hearts and Stirling University (EoS) getting byes to the Second Round.

March and April long way away but what happens if Dalkeith and Edinburgh South both go thru to R2. Home games but share one park.

Dalkeith's ground has floodlights if I remember right. Also with any disruption to the season it's possible if they did both make the Second Round, the round would be played over different days anyway.

EDIT:

They aren't too fussed over when the games get played, as long as they get played and have a decent Final I would say.

I know most of these were postponed but it shows how games can be slotted in the calendar where possible.

Ok makes sense. Normally sharing the one park is only done on astros. How did it work when Tynecastle and Hutchy Vale shared the Enclosure?

There's a few other examples out there of groundsharing on grass. One that comes to mind at the moment is Cumbernauld United & Kirkintilloch Rob Roy which has been going on for a few years.

I think by the end Tynecastle & LTHV were quite happy to end sharing.
