MUSSEYBOY Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 between starter and main Brilliant! Just a word on those who think this is a great idea. I have always thought that making the draw at a Social Club is the way forward. The fans are the ones who deserve to see it as they promote the game far more than any media or sponsor has.As it is the fans have more of a chance to break into Fort knox than sneak a peak at the Cup draw. And with 2 days to go still no kick off time? do the media that this event will attract according to those above have to set up camp outside? If a social Club isnt the answer then what was to stop them making the draw live at half time tonight? or prerecord it with a crowd and make it look like live! anyway here is the draw. Auchinleck v Musselburgh, Linlithgow v Hurlford. Not going to make either match as my work mates have requested both weekends off as the matches fall on an Edinburgh derby and Hibs getting pumped in a semi final. Finally, I bet the lass from Emirates is spitting feathers at missing out on a cushty stay at the Marr Hall eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree to some extent with the cry for draws to be made at a Social club in earlier rounds but the semi final draw is different. Only holds real tangible interest for four clubs and will be done and dusted in a heartbeat. For a non-junior fan it still stands up as spectacle though. No, for me, this is a good move, although I do like the idea of having it televised during half time tonight. Suspect that would be a tall order to sort out however.

Hampden Diehard Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Yip, making the draw in a Junior social club on a Friday afternoon would be very high profile. Four pensioners nursing three pints of Tartan Special between them, teeth oot, and a mangy dog as the audience. Give the Junior FA a wee bit of credit here for trying to get a bit of free publicity. Believe it or not, the vast majority of the papers and the TV couldn't give a tinker's cuss about the Junior Cup; it's a struggle to get them interested in anything other than the Old Firm and Scotland.

Auld Heid Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Or maybe utilising the Scotland squad to help make the draw is an astute bit of business by the sjfa to maximise publicity for this level of the game. Going by previous draws - it will be done after the Northern Ireland game tonight and announced on Friday after most folk have heard anyways.

Yup,it's a problem of logistics as I understand that the BBC Alba camera crew is already committed to the coverage of a pretty important ceilidh which will be taking place in Fraserburgh Town Hall at around the same time,jimbo.

What you do is stand behind the presenters at half time against glass and hold up the team names! This is roughly how that would look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_acGlWZ9mU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLENAFTON93 Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hard to believe its a year since my own team were excited waiting on the draw, and the memories of the semi at home against Camelon still fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airdrieman Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Bit off topic but has it already been decided that the final is taking place at Rugby Park? That's what I'd heard but wasn't sure if it was true. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr V Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Given 99 % of junior football is played on grass I would imagine that the final would be played on grass. Just my view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eeka peeka 4949 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 The final can't be played at Rugby Park as it's a G4 surface ...any Scottish final whether junior amateur or Senior has to be played on grass ...that's the rules ... last year rugby park was grass but was changed in the off season to astro turf G4 ... love street is big possibility ..
