jhq Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Saints seeded first in North Section. Second seeds are Dundee Utd, ICT, Dunfermline and Falkirk. Would love to draw Utd. Hopefully complete group with Forfar, Stirling Albion and one other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "week commencing June 4th" is all the information you get. By the time they work out the fixtures then the televised games get decided. First match is July 14th. Draw is at 6:30 on Friday night, live on BT Sport 2, they had a live stream on FB last year I'm sure but it's not been advertised yet.

RandomGuy Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 We're in the North Section, as Seeds 1. We will get one out of Dundee United, Inverness, Falkirk and Dunfermline. Then three from Brechin, Raith, Alloa, Arbroath, East Fife, Forfar, Montrose, Peterhead, Stirling, Elgin, Cowdenbeath and Cove. I think I want United, Stirling, Cove and one of Alloa, Montrose, Peterhead or Elgin, as I've not been to those four grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Jack Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Cove or Peterhead away please. THE LARK SAINT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Away to Falkirk/ Dunfermline or Utd would all be good. And away to Peterhead, Montrose and Cove to complete the group as all grounds I've yet to visit. No home games, just 4 quality away trips please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford 72 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 We'll be at home to the second seeds I'm sure, that's the way the format has worked in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 If it follows the same route as last time, we'll be.. Forfar (A), Falkirk (H), Montrose (A), East Fife (H) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Good draw, never been to Links Park and Forfar is always a good trip. The regionalisation of the tournament is completely unnecessary, and I imagine could result in regular match ups between the same teams which would limit its appeal. We had Falkirk at home 2 seasons ago, so at least a reversal of the fixture. Expect Falkirk will be much tougher opponents this time round.

Guest ScottMann Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Why would Falkirk be stronger? They've plummeted from 2nd top to 3rd bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I wouldn't imagine it's changed since last time we were involved. And remember if a match ends in a draw they have a penalty shootout where the winner gets an extra point. I enjoyed it last time and am looking forward to it again this summer. Especially if Bobby Madden is the ref when we play Falkirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf their final position was mostly Houston? Think the table from when Hartley was in charge had them top four. I doubt we'll be handed a couple of penalties either.

Both the reasons quoted above. The 3 (?) penalties we were given killed the game as a contest, plus they started the competition shite that season, losing to Stirling I think it was prior to playing us. But no, I don't know a lot about their transfer activity, but would expect they'll give us more of a game than last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
