terracingtam Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Aberdeen 20's are drawn at home to Forfar but I can't find any info on where the game will be played. I assume that it will be at Pittodrie, but why is it not publicised yet. Travel arrangements to make soon. Motherwell, Partick and Rangers also have no info yet.

South Lanarkshire Jag Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thistle have announced that their game with Queen's Park will take place at Firhill. 7:30 kick off. £5 for everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 All the clubs who have announced venues are playing at their proper grounds. Aberdeen have still to announce a venue while we will have to see if Rangers beat Stirling Uni to see where the other tie will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Aberdeen 'B' drawn away in R1, then at home in R2. Both played at North Lodge Park, Pitmedden. Laughable . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BucksburnDandy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Not overly bothered it is being played at Pitmedden. Probably easier for me to get to at that time of night through traffic. And I won't be in that rickety, horrid Main Stand at Pittodrie, which is a boost. Would have been a better mark of respect to play it at Pittodrie as a senior competition, but outside Youth Cup games, you could count on the fingers of one hand the amount of development team games at Pittodrie in the last decade.

shootingboots Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Let's be honest this competition means absolutely nothing to Aberdeen. No point playing a meaningless game on the Pittodrie pitch if we've got a home game before and after this one. Could have played it at Brechin though.

theycallmetrinity Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 U20s switch between Brechin and Peterhead. They also play at Formartine when the other two grounds aren't available. Peterhead and Brechin both at home on the same night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if Rangers didn't fancy it they wouldn't need to. Celtic would be unable to play because somebody died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
