1320Lichtie Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 As KickerConspiracy predicted when the midweek LL game between East Stirlingshire v Stirling University was postponed: Stirling Uni twitter reports their tie away to Rangers 'B' will indeed be a week after R1, on Wednesday 10th August - presumably due to Rangers U20s playing a friendly series in South Africa on R1 midweek. It also confirms the tie will not be at Ibrox but at Forthbank... in Stirling! No longer the home of Stirling Uni, though; they moved to Falkirk. Presumably no-one expects Stirling Albion to progress from their LC group. In bizarre stakes this seems to be the cup that keeps on giving...

HibeeJibee Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 It would be 50/50 if Albion could play the Tue 9th; about half the hypothetical LC R2 seeded opponents have TV games, or could get games knocked-back by EL ties, on Sun 7th. Two of the Last 16 ties will presumably be televised, too, with TV choosing the nights. Also during their groundshare Stirling Uni had on occasion to play games at other venues instead of Forthbank hosting 2 games in 2 days? I recall them playing at EK and Spartans. It was just an observation. I would imagine most people consider the chances of Albion finishing above Falkirk or St Johnstone, then getting drawn at home, statistically pretty low.

Only cost about £100. Exactly and who doesn't enjoy an away day to a new place. I think Inverness would take a few hundred to a game in Wales or NI and I would certainly be up for either.

Worktheshaft Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 If we're to have u20 sides in this tournament they should play at their home stadium. Ranger's shift to Forthbank is a joke. It makes a harder sell for these teams inclusion even harder. Glad Inverness have kept it at Caley Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPFL have never come out and announced anything as far as I can see. It would defeat the purpose of giving young players experience if over age players were allowed.

Skyline Drifter said it will be strictly U20 players, the same as the Youth Cup, so only players born in 1997 or later will be eligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the options for Rangers under 20s should be playing the tie on the scheduled date or forfeiting it if their opponents don't agree to it being moved? As far as I'm aware there's nothing in the rules of the cup competition allowing teams to postpone games for friendlies, as there is with the league? Would Dumbarton, Morton, or Arbroath be allowed to call off games for Stirlingshire/Renfrewshire/Forfarshire cup ties? If not, why is it being allowed for a youth competition?
