I count 14 clubs participating in both the junior and senior cups: Auchinleck Talbot Beith Juniors Benburb Carluke Rovers Carnoustie Panmure Culter Cumnock Juniors Darvel Glenafton Athletic Irvine Meadow XI Lochee United Pollok Rutherglen Glencairn Tayport It seems a preliminary round will be required.

To reduce 115 clubs to 64 (the number required for R2) 51 must be eliminated, which would normally involve 102 teams playing in R1 and 13 byes. But as 15 clubs have byes to R2 and a maximum of 100 are eligible to play, R1 must have 49 ties (involving 98 clubs) and there will need to be a Preliminary Round of 2 ties involving 4 clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no secret and anyone who knows me is well aware that I was 100% opposed to this move, not least because of what happened over 2019-20 and 2021-22. It's important to emphasise though that we've not re-joined the Juniors, we're only in the competition as guests, purely to try to win the damn thing, and snaffle the top prize money! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not many teams have been attracted by the extra cash. Was it just put out there or was there any liaisons with the various associations? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if people are getting mixed up with the 80k proposal for the new national non-league cup that was floated, and never went anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
