Saint Jambo Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Just now, Sir Gio said: Dunfermline in the South but yet North of Edinburgh, to satisfy seeding of ourselves I guess? Yes. Effectively they look at the eight seeded teams and split them between North(/East) and South(/West), then the same for the second seeds, then the same for the unseeded teams. I'm hoping that we won't be in the groups again and are in Europe instead, but if we are I hope that that we flip into the South grouping next time.

The Treasurer Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 1 hour ago, Saint Jambo said: Thanks for the heads up. Have to say the regionalisation factor is beginning to make it feel quite stale. I'd happily take some clubs closer to home and that we haven't played for a while this time. Midweek trips to the Highlands and Grampian are a tough ask from Glasgow without taking time off work. Something like Arbroath, Stirling Albion, Kelty Hearts and Montrose. Of course this is all based on my optimism that some away fans will be allowed in to these games. As it will be limited numbers for home games at best, I think its highly unlikely that we will be able to go to away games for quite some time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that for the home games, if they are limited to, for example, 25% of stadium capacity the club may take into account how many ST holders there are and then do some sort of draw to determine which people can attend the home ties to try and get some sort of even split amongst every ST holder of home games they can attend, even though cup ties aren't included in the actual ST (would make it a bit chaotic/unfair if for a home cup tie it became simply a first come, first served sort of thing, and a percentage were to even end up going to non ST holders).

JTJ Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 When I was young we never seemed to qualify out the group stage - once when two teams qualified we finished third behind Berwick Rangers. Then when we finally did so we lost 1-0 on aggregate to Falkirk in the Quarters when the "sponge man" checked on John Gallacher, wiped his face and helped him to his feet. Gallacher lost his man at the free kick for the goal and it turned out John had a broken leg. We seemed to be ill fated......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
