It wasn't played as a doubleheader surely. I wish, but no. They have since corrected it back. So to be sure Vale need to win 2 out of 3 as long as one of the them includes a win vs Dalbeattie? No date for the Cumbernauld league game yet then? So if Cove beat Spartans over 2 legs the next night Vale and Dalbeattie in a half chance relegation one game playoff, bit bizarre though exciting for the neutral. To be fair I would like to see Dalbeattie stay up and it be good if Cove or Spartans get promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vale do not need to beat Dalbeattie, a draw against them and two other wins would be enough to finish above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baxter's Nutmeg Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Cumbernauld sounds ideal, easy travelling for me! In all seriousness, shouldn’t the venue have been announced before now, after all it’s quite an important cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinky Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Sorry Newcastle Brown but you missed my point??...IMO cup finals should be played somewhere central and I have nothing against Galas ground or set-up apart from it appears to be the favoured venue which happens to be geographically remote and as a result may restrict those who otherwise would have wanted to attend as a spectator. Also,and for the record CCs are not my team albeit I can see how you may have assumed this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also,and for the record CCs are not my team albeit I can see how you may have assumed this. Haven't missed yer point at all. My point is that although Selkirk s league Cup final is a lot closer to them than Cumbernauld the various Cup finals ww have played over the years have involved a fair bit travelling against a more local side. I think it's doon to ground availability at this time of the year as well? I'd rather have a cup final at Galashiels any day than play on a junior park at Broxburn or Blackburn? (no offence to these sides, actually Blackburn are in the EoSFL next season but you know what I mean) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Tbf NB, most of the finals you're noting were South Qualifying Cup finals - which from 1994-95 to the end had to be played "at Scottish League grounds". Even then many rather odd ones like Whitehill v Burntisland at Stirling, Spartans v Gala at Stirling, Whitehill v Civil Service at Stenhousemuir, Whitehill v Threave at Stirling and Cumbernauld, Whitehill v Spartans at Stirling, Edinburgh City v Spartans at Stirling. Maybe SFA only had the telephone number for Forthbank... South Challenge Cup which replaced it isn't connected to SFA, and though a number have gone to Scottish League venues like Easter Road, Tynecastle, Palmerston and Galabank, others have been played at places like Gala, Edinburgh Uni and Whitehill. Allegedly the principle now is just "a ground with a grandstand". Don't see the issue with playing finals on Junior grounds - indeed Musselburgh, Blackburn and Easthouses promptly turned senior anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was hardly central or fair like jinky is implying though? Note I did state Blackburn have now gone senior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magoo Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 We must be a different breed at Whitehill then...as every time we played a final the further away we played the better the day was....fraserburgh,Dumfries and Montrose being particularly good...if I phones had been around in those days some of the team bus journeys home would have been epic viewing.....

Burnie_man Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Is this competition an open draw from the first round or is it regionalised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It was open draw first 2 seasons (SFA providing finance), regionalised before QF for 7 seasons, then open draw again last 2 seasons. Away travel is subsidised. Incidentally, contrary to the name it's neither run or financed by SFA, nor is there any "South Region"! Often called simply South Challenge Cup. HL+EOSL+SOSL+Glasgow Uni. North equivalent was shelved after first 2 seasons since SFA finance stopped/HL expanded to 18-teams. Since it was basically the Highland League Cup repeated with Golspie added, it never caught northern imaginations, although Shetland XI were invited for season #2. Champions:2007-08 ... Annan beat Edinburgh City, at Galashiels 2008-09 ... Spartans beat Edinburgh Uni, at Meadowbank 2009-10 ... Spartans beat Gretna, at Tynecastle 2010-11 ...
