BigAl Posted May 28, 2024 Report Posted May 28, 2024 Draw takes place tomorrow (Wed 29th). Take one from each pot, who do you fancy ? I'll go for Livingston, Ayr (ten minutes on the train for me), Kelty Hearts and East Kilbride (want to turn the rooster man over and get revenge for putting me through hell @ Darvel) Pot 1 : Dundee - Aberdeen - Hibernian - Motherwell - St Johnstone - Ross County - Livingston - Dundee Utd. Pot 2 : Raith - Partick - Airdrie - Morton - Dunfermline - Ayr - Queens Park - Inverness. Pot 3 : Arbroath - Falkirk - Hamilton - Alloa - Montrose - Cove - Kelty Hearts - Queen of the South. Pot 4 : Annan - Stirling - Edinburgh City - Stenhousemuir - Peterhead - Spartans - Dumbarton - East Fife. Pot 5 : Forfar - Elgin - Bonnyrigg Rose - Clyde - Stranraer - East Kilbride - Buckie Thistle - Brechin City Quote
Jute Posted May 28, 2024 Report Posted May 28, 2024 Hate the thought of being in the group stages of this. Need to get back into Europe asap. Apparently teams from pot 2 and 4 would be played at home and 3 and 5 away. Not seen Aberdeen play Spartans, Edinburgh City, Kelty, Bonnyrigg or East Kilbride so any of them will do. Also not seen Aberdeen play at Cove so that would be decent as well. Would be interesting to see if we got to play at Meadowbank if we drew City as I know they really struggled to cope with Falkirk this year. Quote

I inadvertently put them in pot two meaning we would be playing them at Pittodrie. Will just wait for the draw now. Quote

The Steak and Black pies are great! Quote

RicoS321 Posted May 29, 2024 Report Posted May 29, 2024 Airdrie QOTS Dumbarton East Kilbride Should be looking for at least four points from that. Quote
STFU_Donny Posted May 29, 2024 Report Posted May 29, 2024 PTSD from that draw. QOTS for the SC semi and East Kilbride are managed by the ex Darvel manager. Quote

BigAl Posted May 29, 2024 Author Report Posted May 29, 2024 So Airdrie and Dumbarton @ Pittodrie Queens and EK away Assume the East Kilbride game will be switched to one of Motherwell, Hamilton or Airdrie grounds Quote

BigAl Posted July 3, 2024 Author Report Posted July 3, 2024 All four of our games in the section are either being shown live on Premier or are being streamed by Premier Sports. Works for me as no chance of getting a ticket for the East Kilbride game despite being a deserving, loyal supporter of advanced years Quote
