AR851903 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Our first home SC tie for 3 years. Potentially our first home tie to a non-league side in my Pittodrie-going lifetime. After Sunday's disappointment hopefully this is the first step on the road back to Hampden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Happy with the draw as we've had very disappointing Scottish Cup campaigns the last couple of years so to get a home tie and avoid fellow Premiership opposition is a boost. Haven't seen us personally play either side before but would prefer East Kilbride purely because they're a non-league side and I think our last proper competitive tie against a non-league side was Elgin in 1971.

car number 7 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I think if the Stranraer attitude is right Aberdeen will play the blues.The Kilby went on a decent world record run of winning games but the oppo was probably poor for a lot of that run.I will take nothing for granted but your kid Joe Nuttall might bag himself a couple of goals,shown in his 2 games for us he's a bit of a player and the Dons support might have something to look forward to,in the next 2 or 3 seasons ahead.

Menzel Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 If we get Kilby this'll be the first return for a long time for former dons (and pretty much every other team) striker Robbie Winters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingboots Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Nuttall not as good as Shankland at that level and Shankland is pish as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingboots Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Our wait for a non league tie in the Scottish Cup continues. 1971 v Elgin I read elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked when was the last time each current SPFL side had last played a non-league side in the cup in the Infowire sub-forum and we've had the longest wait by far. Only ourselves, Killie, St Johnstone and Inverness CT have not played a non-league side this century Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blue_1870 Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Many Stranraer fans making the trip north? I'd think we'll have somewhere in the region of 75. A new ground to visit for a whole generation of our fans, and I know there are a few who plan to make a weekend of it. Ambivalence towards the current manager could knock a few dozen off this figure, but our away fans are a loyal bunch and will turn up regardless.
