barnseytheclaret Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Evening! Doing my annual pilgrimage to Scotland again this summer. Just the 1 (youngest) child in tow, and staying in the Kingdom of Fife instead of Forfar this time. A few questions, if anyone can help: When will fixtures be out, do you think? I love to get planning early, especially as hoping to take the boy on a couple of city visits! How many TV games are there going to be, and what chance of any of them being on a Friday and / or Sunday? (Asking because we're staying 8 nights, Saturday 20th to Sunday 28th.) Finally, any idea when the various European sides will find out their opponents/fixture dates? No idea if they fall into the midweek (above) at all - seems much more complicated than it used to be, or maybe that's just me and my age! Anyway, thanks very much in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fixtures should be out this weekend or early next week. Games tend to be a Saturday or Sunday but there has been the odd Friday before. Both Kilmarnock in the Europa league 2 qualifying round and St Mirren in the Conference league qualifying second round could be at home on the 25th of July. The draw for the first and second rounds is on the 18th and 19th June so not too long to wait to see if either are at home that Thursday night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the full list? Having done Motherwell already, that's a bit disappointing, as was hoping for a new one on the drive back to Sheffield! Thanks for the information, though. The dislike was just because none of those would be new for me / us! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for all the information: I'll have to keep my eyes peeled. Fingers crossed one of those two are drawn at home that week...bit of a trek, but still would be good fun! We went to a Friday one several seasons ago: Elgin City vs Hibernian - hoped they'd do similar again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I see that the fixtures are out...off to pore over them now and try to work out where we will / could be going...exciting times! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 Just wondering, will virtually ALL of the midweek games stay on the Tuesdays, or do people think some may move to Wednesdays? Fixtures haven't fallen as kindly as I had hoped, tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously don’t know what dates you’re working with, and it’s probably the worst stadium in the SPFL, but Edinburgh v Clyde is a Wednesday (17th July). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it's the worst! It's looking like Kelty Hearts on 20, East Fife on 23 and Dunfermline on 27. Hoping for something to swap to Wednesday or Sunday as well, maybe a European one on Thursday... Possible some non-league stuff will come up too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnseytheclaret Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 (edited) Is there a reason that not many Scottish teams play on Wednesdays? Just curious. Hoping that there will be some non-league or friendlies to watch that day! Edited June 18 by barnseytheclaret 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that there will be some non-league or friendlies to watch that day! Historically many midweek games were played on Mondays...! Until quite recently Wednesday was standard as it was middle day of the midweek. However gradually more and more clubs have drifted to Tuesday, which is now predominant even in several parts of non-league e.g. LL & EOSL - seemingly as it's more equidistant between both Saturdays in terms of freshness/fatigue, plus often as it's their training night and saves players rearranging shifts/etc. (and for clubs who train on their own 3G will mean they've already got the ground). I think only Arbroath and Edinburgh City in SPFL lower divisions use Wed instead of Tue nowadays and in City's case that will be since they have stadium Mon + Wed while Leith have it Tue + Thu, and pre-rebuild Tue + Thu was athletics.

barnseytheclaret Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Anyone know when East Fife and Kelty Hearts ticket information will go on sale? Thinking of the Cove Rangers and Hibernian games respectively. Their websites don't seem to be updated very often. IS there somewhere better for information? Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 I assume these will be single-camera jobs, but I suppose it’s to be welcomed if it increases exposure - albeit by a relatively small amount. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Naitch Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 More details, encouraged by the possibility of a highlights deal… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
