Cagey Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hopefully Montrose. Kelty are going well & that as we showed when we were in a lower league & going well we could take on even the OF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted November 29, 2021 Report Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) Squeezed past Kelty last year on our way to the League Cup. Isn't it about time they just threw everyone in at the first round? Think it would be far more exciting.

Sergei Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 I've mixed feelings about the big gap between the draw and game It gives the injury situation time to get better but it'll be our first match since 2 Jan whilst both Kelty and Montrose will still have been playing every week, weather permitting obviously. Also which of Clark, McCart and Rooney will still be here? Will we have any new faces? How settled will the team be? It's a tricky tie at potentially a tricky time for us.

I did it ground to ground since I thought that was the clever part. McDiarmid to New Central Park is 25.8 miles, McD to Dens Park, which I think is a hundred yards or so closer than Tannadice, is 26.4miles. Sources AA Route planner and my car's sat nav.

Sergei Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 We should maybe be wanting to play Montrose as we may well be recalling Cammy from them in January. I see he wasn't listed at all against Kelty so I wonder if Saints didn't want him cup tied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been saying this for a couple of years after watching Jeanfields early rounds of Scottish Cup, I think everyone being in Cup from the start is something fans would love. The early rounds bring some really good away games, every year you could see a smaller team get through to later rounds with luck of the draw, great chance for teams lower down leagues to make some money as well. There was probably as many Saints fans at Annan watching Jeanfield as went to Parkhead same day which just shows the enthusiasm is there. Imagine first round of Cup, Gretna 2008 away, getting it right round those bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably loads of reasons this wouldn’t work but how about instead of top 6 you had top 4, middle 4 and bottom 4, middle 4 playing off for a European place or something, that would take 2 games away. The top teams would never want an all in draw anyway nor would the sponsors for fear Rangers v Celtic came out first round. I bet every fan who regularly goes to games would love it though, this year, doesn’t matter if it’s Kelty or Montrose, I imagine it will need to be all ticket and we ll sell it out.

If we sent an XI to Jeanfield Swifts (or other local teams) for an annual pre-season friendly and it was £10 to get in, it would be nice money-spinner for those clubs and a good bit of PR from Saints. It seems to be commonly done in England from what I've seen over the years. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
