First dates in the calendar for the new season and the hope for plum away days at new grounds. Wouldn't be averse to Stranraer away to properly thank them for keeping East Kilbride at bay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLichtie86 Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 The big question is who is getting the golden ticket into the draw. Last season we had Cowdenbeath get in ahead of the HL/LL runners up despite them finishing 15th in the LL. Surely it has to be Brechin but knowing Cockwomble he will give it Berwick Rangers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoBNob Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 As a Pot 2 side do you have Pot 1, and 4 away, with 3 and 5 at home? Motherwell (a) Kelty Hearts (H) Annan Athletic (a) Brechin City (H) Please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell (a) Kelty Hearts (H) Annan Athletic (a) Brechin City (H) Please. That's certainly how it's worked previously, which is a shame for those of us in pot 2 when Pot 5 is full of great away games and Pot 4 isn't. Think everyone will be wanting Annan on that basis. Aberdeen away please, failing that at least spare us the tedium of getting Livingston and Falkirk/Hamilton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Is it pot 3 and 5 away for pot 1 teams? If so: Dundee Queen’s Park Kelty Hearts East Fife Brechin Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) 2 hours ago, The Master said: Is it pot 3 and 5 away for pot 1 teams? If so: Dundee Queen’s Park Kelty Hearts East Fife Brechin Thank you. Looking at our groups fixtures last year thats correct aye. Pot 4 v Pot 2 Pot 5 v Pot 1 Pot 2 v Pot 5 Pot 3 v Pot 4 Pot 5 v Pot 3 Pot 1 v Pot 2 Pot 4 v Pot 5 Pot 3 v Pot 1 Pot 1 v Pot 4 Pot 2 v Pot 3 As a pot 5 club this time round the chance of a home game on TV would boost the coffers slightly so on that basis the most likely opposition that Premier would show are Aberdeen, Hibs and Motherwell (who we've been on against before when it was BT). As Dunning says Annan the most appealing away day in pot 4 albeit I do like Stirling but they're in our division so would edge towards Annan. Never been to ICT but doubt I'd bother in this cup and certainly not if it's midweek so probably Ayr or Partick Thistle from that pot. At least Killie are in Europe this year as we must be due them again. Edited May 28 by CM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Preference would be Raith/Dunfermline Arbroath Peterhead Brechin. (Actual preference wold be a European trip but you don't get them when you've been a bit shit the previous season) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I have never really understood why the relegated teams are ranked higher than the promoted teams - just another SPFLism I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
