The seeding does ruin it, chances are we were going to draw a premier league team or hibs/ hearts etc, so nothing exciting or different from teams we've seen plenty of over the past year.

The quarter finals will likely be all premier league, with maybe rangers being the exception. Compare that to last years scottish cup quarter finals: saints, raith rovers, Albion rovers, rangers, aberdeen, Dumbarton, dundee united, inverness ct

Why not a British league cup.. If the Chelsea's, man city's etc don't want it then they don't have to take part. We would probably take a bigger away support to Blackburn or wolves than we will to kilmarnock, we've been there so often the past few years.

It would give some of the smaller clubs that don't qualify every season, e.g. man utd, rangers, Aston villa, etc a wee taste of European football, and give all of us a bit of variety.

For those of us travelling from the East Coast it is a really poor draw. Travelling down to Killie on a Tuesday or Wednesday night isnt exactly appealing.

 

Hopefully both the club agree a sensible pricing structure - £10 for adults and £5 for concessions would be ideal.

 

Bit of a long shot, but would be nice if Saints could subsidise a few of the supporters buses as a bit of a thank you to the fans who have spent a lot of money following the club recently. In the past few months many will have followed the club to Switzerland and Slovakia, paid £26 to get into the two European home ties, followed the team to Dingwall and Hamilton and also paid for a season ticket. I realise its a bit of a long shot, but if Saints were able to lay on two free buses from McDiarmid and two free buses from Barrossa St then in my mind its a win win situation. It would generate a bit of goodwill towards the club after a shambolic few months PR wise and would also lift the players seeing a decent away support down at Kilmarnock on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. I know Steve Brown is pleading poverty, but paying for the hire of four buses wouldnt break the bank.

Not as shit as the competition..

 

For years this competition has been losing its credentials with a continued lack of support and 1st team players..That with the seeded clubs having a clear advantage only makes it a competition that needs to be dumped......

So we win the Scottish Cup and we're meant to look down our noses on a competition that a year ago we'd have given our eye teeth to win?  I'll leave that attitude to the glory hunting OF fans if it's all the same to you thanks.
