Clydebank done some serious back tracking there. Good to see common sense applied, but should never have reached that point.

not man of the match Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 3 hours ago, craigkillie said: Moving a Scottish Cup game to a Sunday isn't exactly uncommon, surprised Clydebank said no to that, given they must have known that it was going to be somewhere further away if it stayed on the Saturday. I wonder if they were hoping they'd be able to get it played at home instead. Clydebank didn't just say no to that and had no intention of playing it at Holm Park as it was now unavailable. We would have had first dibs had we been drawn at home. As I've said elsewhere, I am reliably informed that Fort William stated they didn't want the Sunday as the Old Firm game would hit the gate and the park would be a mess after the event. To then suggest the Saturday night then seemed daft as surely the park would be in a mess from the event anyway? Only after announcing Golspie was it put out that the event didn't actually use the playing surface and I guess this is why it's been changed back again. It's crazy that after all the years of bullshit from Fort William that all of a sudden people believe they are telling the truth on all matters. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing at Holm Park was never an option as the SFA dont allow reversal of fixtures. That statement was just total nonsense in the first place. Anyway - it's being played at the correct venue at a slightly better time. I do hope we prevail and what's the chances of drawing Golspie in the 1st round proper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 Jeanfield Swifts v Cupar Hearts now 12:30pm presumably to encourage fans to make a double with St Johnstone v Dundee at 3pm, though with no replays might mean leave early/arrive late if ET. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All other ties confirmed Saturday afternoon but for the first time a large number use their 'domestic' kickoff times rather than 3pm - this has probably happened for the fairly innocuous reason of SFA paperwork altering slightly, with time an open question, when before 3pm was assumed with alternatives meaning being proactive.Beith, Carluke, Glenafton and Kilwinning are 2pm... Broxburn, Camelon, Easthouses, Penicuik, Tynecastle and Culter are 2:30pm. In contrast last season only 3 ties did (plus 1 replay) and none in R1; the season before none did and just 1 in R1.

More Clubs should do this. 1990-1991 season 3rd round cove were home in the 3rd round and so were Aberdeen. cove was a 12:30pm kick off and Aberdeen were 3pm buses were laid on from Allan park to take fans down to Pittodrie straight after. Would like to see similar again especially with banks of Dee who seem to get some good ties at home usually when Aberdeen are home too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the away team often has little incentive to go along with it - other than their 2/5 of an improved gate - and may be travelling a distance; plus either clubs may have players (or officials) working overnight or morning shifts; and it may inconvenience regular fans. Jeanfield played their R1 tie v Brechin last season at 12:30pm which avoided St Johnstone v Ross County; crowd of 365. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmadrid Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 im going to try and do a Scottish cup ground hop tomorrow with a Premiership game in between Start at Jeanfield, then up to McDiarmid followed by Fort William. The changes in kick offs certainly worked in my favor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 St Andrews hosts only its second ever tie... last was 19th Jan 1929 when Uni lost 0-3 to Bathgate before 650. Creetown are playing in their second ever tie... last was 6-2 loss at Third Lanark on 26th Jan 1935 before 2,714. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
