peasy23 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Why on earth not? I would assume for financial reasons, they aren't the first North region team to do so. A home draw could actually cost them more than an away tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxman Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 We had a couple of draws in recent years, Longfield (Peterhead) & Sunnybank FC (Aberdeen) whereby the home teams had to pay a percentage of our coach hire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much sums up the way the junior game is going when teams won't or more accurately can't take the risk of entering the grade's premier competition.

The home club has a minimum guarantee that they have to pay the visitors. There will be a lot of ties in the early rounds where the gate money doesn't cover that sum. Here's the extract from the rulebook.3. In all ties up to but excluding the Semi-Final stages of the Cupcompetition the first drawn club must guarantee to reimburse thevisiting team the amount due according to the following table:-Distance 0-25 miles Guarantee £5526-50 miles £9551-75 miles £12076-100 miles £170101-150 miles £220151-200 miles £270201-250 miles £310251-300 miles £340Mileage shall be calculated on the basis of the shortest singlejourney between the competing clubs.In addition those clubs incurring a 201 plus mile single journey, theAssociation will contribute a further 50% of the above guaranteetowards the away team’s travel costs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So almost two hundred quid more for a mile difference.Obviously there have to be boundaries but that jump seems bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glens lad Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 This is a feeling that can not be matched in Junior football.

Unless I'm not getting what you are saying, does this make any sense? First two sentences seem to contradict each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
