jagfox Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Plenty of bitching about the draw in general but a pleasing draw from a Thistle perspective and a decent away following should be anticipated. Dumfries here we come... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reid Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Never heard of either team. Presuming they’re Highland/Lowland league clubs so should be at least a 4 goal victory for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sets us up nicely to be fodder for a famous cup result for either team. You need to go outside, spit on the ground, turn around a few times while chanting "no easy away games in the cup" or something similar. Do it soon, These things have a fuckin half-life. Probably best you make a blood sacrifice too, just to be safe. Small rodent, something like that. Back to the draw. I personally want Montrose. Selfish reasons really. I've been to Palmerston (lovely away day) and have never been to Montrose. I'm in Aberdeen so this is an hour away on the train. Hell I'll want to make a day of it, cycle to Montrose, watch the game, stay in a B n B, then get the train back on Sunday. I'm frankly delighted that we're not playing another prem team. If we prevail in this round and get St Johnstone in the next round (I said if) I reckon we should just toss a coin to decide the winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Montrose is only 35 minutes on the train and Links Park only a 5 minute walk from the station. Or three and a half hours if you do a pub crawl of Montrose.

Apart from that, great effort Obviously, Thistle have had more success in the years since than us. Measuring that by "profit" and "prize money" is a bit weird though. I hadn't realised that was the point. Anyway, at this rate it's really Montrose fans that you should probably be winding up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Actually considering going down on the Friday night for this, I don't know if an away draw against someone that isn't St Johnstone or Dundee United is making me giddy. Scotrail website has "potential" engineering works for the Saturday when you search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting the main west coast train to Lockerbie (only takes 1 hour) then get the service bus or a taxi for the remaining 12 miles journey to Dumfries is another option.

Possibly a standard message when booking so far in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuctifano Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I've stayed in Banff, Aberdeen, and Inverness on previous Scottish cup away days. Clearly not expecting Dumfries to be Las Vegas but it's an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
