LongTimeLurker Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Why do they still have a club licence and SFA membership if they can't play a home game in Fort William given they had to play an entire season away from home in the Highland League not so long ago? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gets the nod from SFA then I'd imagine that the majority of our fans will vote with their feet and stay away. Hopefully we can go and do a professional job, get a win and draw a team that takes the competition seriously in Round 1. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort William's side of the story, sounds like Clydebank turned down every suggestion for getting the game played at Claggan Park, including playing it on the Sunday. https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/sport/football/scottish/6056116/closer-club-denied-fort-william-chance-to-host-scottish-cup-tie-before-golspie-switch/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely there must be somewhere closer? Even a high school or somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clydebank also refused Sunday afternoon and the Saturday before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANKIEBILL Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Best that no more "statements" and stuff are made regarding this tie - it's 19.30 on 2nd Sept. It's not ideal for supporters but better than the alternative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in Wick at the moment for the Highland Amateur Cup Final tomorrow. Came up Wednesday for Clach away (less said the better) and booked up till Saturday in the forsaken hope that Clach reserves would make the final, but they got hammered by Avoch in the semi. Still looking forward to it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
