Black Pennel Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Don't know anything about the French lads against the ammies in the first round...but I did think that Girvan had lost their automatic place for this year ? Also...I'm thinking that will probably be Beith -v- Auchinleck Talbot in the second round...not counting chickens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Girvan eventually got their entry level license approved, so are still a full member of the SFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANKIEBILL Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 unfortunate that Talbot and Beith are potentially up against each other in 2nd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTG Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 29 minutes ago, Quantum Leap said: It's a shame that 2 junior teams could face each other in the preliminary rnd 2. I'm also beginning to think Talbot are jinxed with away draws. 2000 miles we went last season - you're not even on the jinxed radar! Tough on both teams but feels like this reorganisation is almost designed to put strong teams against each other before some absolute dross appears in round 1 proper. That's the price of failing to join the pyramid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a number of teams in the Glasgow Amateur leagues with the best,and probably the side that you'll face,playing in the Caledonian league.In recent years they haven't featured in the latter stages of any of the top Ammy cups and they've fared badly against good Junior sides in this competition,so I think it would be seen as quite a surprise if they managed to get a result against your club.

jimbaxters Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I'm doubtful that skipping the first rounds of this cup is a pull factor in joining the pyramid. Also junior clubs should just be happy to be in the competition. Hope Talbot progress further this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any prize money for the preliminary rounds? Definitely looks like a way to empty out at least some of the better non-LL and HL clubs before the handouts start and to disincentivise any further growth in full membership numbers from SJFA clubs now Girvan may have set the precedent that being outside the EoS and SoS leagues is OK.

calmac25 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I remember there being something about prize money being the same as the 1st round for preliminary games. So Talbot would get £3000 for being knocked out in the 1st round where as Hawick or rothes would get £1000. Maybe its not a conspiracy after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 I asked HTG, because he is likely to have access to this information given his club are in the second preliminary round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea. Haven't really paid attention to the money side. I think licenced clubs got a bye through preliminary round 1 but that's about it.

gaz5 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Money starts first round proper AFAIK, £2000 R1, £4000 R2, £6000 R3, £8000 R4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peasypower Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Personally disapointed it will be Beith Talbot if they both progress, would of liked to see them go as far as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanner Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Desperately unlucky for Talbot and Beith. Normally Talbot would be slight favs because they're a great cup side but Beith are the team with the Scottish cup on their mantelpiece and have home advantage so who knows. If that tie happens it will be a cracker. Should be an easy 4 figure crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
