Been posted on our thread that Cowden are away to Berwick, but there appears to be no details yet of the draw anywhere, top secret it seems.

LongTimeLurker Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Spartans may withdraw from the competition if they are champions and enter the playoffs, so could turn into a bye to the second round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news in that we'd get through to the next round. Bad news in that we miss out on a home cup tie. Edited March 14 by John S Words 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they should be allowed to withdraw.As John says the BUs would miss out on a badly needed home gate.Surely Spartans should be able to field a team of some description . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to appreciate their position that they (or whoever it turns out to be) have to be focused on only the play off. As far as the gate goes, surely it will be split as it’s a cup tie, so maybe not a massive money spinner? And Spartans are not exactly renowned for a huge travelling support… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course no one to put the ball in the net on a regular basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costa Crookies Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Funny season, we’ve won as many as we’ve lost, but it really doesn’t seem that way. Nobody in the team who gets me excited when he gets on the ball in or near the box. Just expect them to look for someone to pass to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 We are just ahead compared to last season (assuming my counting is OK). We are two places and eight points better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems hugely unfair on the away team who will have the expenses of a normal away match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
