StewartyMac Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Worst draw ever. With two groups to go, I was hoping for the group with Motherwell and Partick as it's been ages since we've played them. But no. Only solace will be if the County and Rovers games are away on the Saturdays, at least get a half decent day out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

embow Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Lightening can easily strike twice! Wasn't it thirty years ago in August when we were away to Ross County in this competition? The rest is, of course, history! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattmc Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Ross County - A nice away trip and been a number of years since we had a Saturday in Dingwall but, a cost the club could do without. Previous years it’s been top seeds away to bottom first which would see us play each other at Stair Park. Not great for either club, poor crowd expected. Raith Rovers - Like the rest of the teams, there are others I’d have preferred but a while since we met each other so not too bad. Hamilton - We’ve to visit there twice to play Clyde this season so no excitement there. A repeat of the result the last time we met in this competition wouldn’t go a miss though. Stirling - Playing each other four times this season wasn’t going to be enough. I don’t mind the format of the competition as there is money to be made with the right draw. Unfortunately the draw has never been that kind to us. Our record also stinks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Accie1 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 No big travelling support to bring in money and unlikely to qualify, not the best draw. Will be a good idea of where we rate against top of Championship and bottom of Premier however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accie1 Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Wee overnight in Portpatrick for the missus and I. Stranraer another to get ticked off the list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllanJM Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Stirling away is local for me so pretty chuffed with that. Pop down to New Williamfield to watch the cricket for a couple of hours first then walk over to Forthbank. Sounds like a pretty decent day out. Worth pointing out for Rovers fans making the trip that the cricket club is probably the best place for a beer before the game. There will be games on both pitches too so you even get some pre-match entertainment (well if you don't mind watching cricket of course). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, the gates being split 60/40 would mean it would have probably took us getting one of Aberdeen, Hibs or Motherwell for it to be worthwhile in gate money anyway. I don’t think it’s unrealistic that we could be pushing for second place and then you’re just hoping we’ve got a good enough record to be one the best three this time. Looking forward to a trip to Stranraer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping to get through for this one, if I do make it I'll be popping into the cricket club for a pint before the game, might give the cricket action a miss tho' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Stirling v Rovers this Saturday. I’m still in the Euros zone. Can I be fucked driving through to Stirling for a game or will I wait for the delights of Airdrie in August? I’ll see how I feel on Saturday morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes closed due to private function. Super facility otherwise. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2nd and 3rd team are both at home this Saturday so the club will definitely be open. I know a few of them so will message them to make sure (and to let them know to expect a few Rovers fans in). Really looking forward to getting back to competitive football and it's a bonus that we're playing at the closest stadium to my house. Hopefully a big increase in the intensity from the friendlies (which would be normal to be fair) will see us look a bit more dangerous up top. Would love to see Hamilton get a goal to get him going too as there's definitely a player in there if he gets his confidence back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clayhole Blue Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Not sure how many County fans will actually make the trip - particularly with Premier Sports streaming the match - but just to let you know that our Pavilion Bar at Stair Park will be open from 1pm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
