garydavidson Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 The excitement just doesn't stop - we are in pot one for the draw for the league cup group stages which is being drawn tomorrow 28 May at 1pm.

MySpazz Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 Could probably do without this round tbf. Would much rather a bye! Quote
garydavidson Posted May 27 Author Report Posted May 27 Interesting that we are pot 1 so, avoiding Livi, we will be getting a team in the same division. Quote
Aitchy Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 The initial novelty of the group stages has worn off for me. Not a fan of it. Bring back pre season tours or Ireland, much better for the fans! The Kinross Saint, HOODLUM65, GMac and 2 others 5 Quote

I’ll likely still attend but considering they’ve become pre-season it’s not working anymore. Graeme S 1 Quote

Bring back pre season tours or Ireland, much better for the fans! Agreed. The first season was genuinely brilliant with trips up to Elgin and Brechin but now we just need a couple of friendlies and the first round to settle us in to the season. Managers must hate it, the amount of upsets and pressure it builds before the season even starts is wild. Aitchy 1 Quote

blueheaven Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 Agree about being fed up with the League Cup format, though I imagine it's probably quite valuable for the smaller clubs who could easily get their biggest home crowds of the season in the group stage. Re the Challenge Cup I'm just disappointed it doesn't still have the English non-league/Welsh/Northern Irish clubs in it. Would have been something different to see Saints play a competitive game against one of those, and potentially a fun away trip too. Zorro's 'tache and MySpazz 2 Quote

Â East Kilbride train to and from Glasgow Central every half hour. 6 min taxi to ground or about 40 min walk. Quote
Aitchy Posted May 28 Report Posted May 28 Aberdeen only got 250 tickets for their game against East Kilbride last season. Likely to be Inverness and EK away. Quote
