ScottR96 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'm still not home from Brora so a home tie for us please! Preferably one with a decent chance of progression as well. Failing that, wouldn't mind a trip to Palmerston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think big Mark McLaughlin would enjoy one last game there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunning1874 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Wick away is the dream tie and Hawick would be great too, but I'd be delighted with most of the non-league sides away - only ones I'd want to avoid are EK, Spartans, East Stirling and Cumbernauld Colts. I'd be happy with Arbroath, Elgin or Montrose away as well. As HJ says the draw is on Tuesday, 6pm at Cappielow. Warren Hawke is doing it; if we get a Championship team or a home tie he's getting hounded out of the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newcastle broon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I can assure ye Wick away is NOT a dream tie. It's a hoor of a journey from Inverness with some fine scenery en route but the road is just dreadful. Nice friendly people though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large tract of non-league/bottom feeder diddies away would be great too. I can mind when ye thought Spartans were diddies. Be careful what ye wish for ?

Smokerson Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I'd take anybody at home other than maybe Morton or QOTS who would probably be too strong. As most people I'd also like an away trip to a non league side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why they're still doing absolutely nothing in the regional non-leagues - whose reigning champions are comfortably worse than Montrose right now - while The Famous are storming into national cup semi-finals. So defending the non-existent honour of a fellow diddy club isn't going to work out well for you. Unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an86 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Always enjoy the anticipation of the early round draws and the quaint names of some of the minnows. Banks o' Dee, Hawick Royal Albert, Forres Mechanics, Clyde etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Parr Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 The 3rd round draw of the Scottish is normally one of the season's biggest let-downs. A chance to visit somewhere new and interesting routinely dashed by a home tie with Alloa or something similar. We'll draw Airdrie this year.

Last train from Wick on a Saturday leaves at 16.00, getting into Inverness more than four hours later. Rail is not the way to go unless you're up there for the weekend, if you get Wick Academy away.

Closest train to kick off was getting in at 1456 Only other train on matchday was the 0702 from Inverness Their closest game is 50 miles away in Brora. Fair play to them but feck that every 2nd week. Aye they'll all want Wick away...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 It'd be the event of the season. Friday night in Inverness, up to Wick early doors on the Saturday, stay in Wick Saturday night, all the way back down the road on the Sunday. Glorious scenes.
