I agree but given the league fixtures are set to come out in two weeks they can’t afford to hold that process up as they will need to sort out the Celtic & Rangers fixtures and let them know early before sorting the rest of the leagues fixtures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL really do care about the fans. Whilst Ive quite enjoyed the jaunts up there the last couple of seasons, going to grounds you might not normally vists, Id happily settle for somewhere a bit closer by this time round. Ive never quite understood why we're in the North Section other than some of the Southern teams have to be due to numbers etc but we're not even the most Northern team in Edinburgh.

TurboT Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Managed to get to Peterhead last season and Cove this season. I’ve never been to Montrose, Brechin or Arbroath so I’m hoping for one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igglepiggle Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 1 hour ago, Sir Gio said: Curiosity City went into the South, Hearts and Vermin the North That's because they do the North/South split for the three different seeding groups. Would expect it to look even stranger this year as we should be in the North section and Dunfermline should be in the South section. We should be a North 1st seed (along with Dundee, St Johnstone and Hibs). We'll get drawn with one of the North 2nd seeds, which should be Inverness, Ross County, Dundee United and Alloa, and three North unseeded teams.

feedthefox Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Get out of group and then it’s just luck avoiding Celtic or Rangers and bingo you can be in another semi very easily. Hope we’ve not used up all our luck in the draws this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott980612 Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hopefully get a decent draw and tick some more grounds of the list. Would rather not be playing in group stage of the league cup but it’s better than friendlies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
