Mr Bairn Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Have they announced the tiebreakers for the groups and best runners up? Two captains w**k off in the centre circle. First one to spunk wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennett Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 No, Charles Green did that. Hibees take note, a witty reply and not resorting to "rattled" or "actual tears". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spain Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I can understand the logic in following a set system for which seed plays which other seed and where, but why did they have to be so rigid with the when? All the top seeds have Matchday 2 off together. Bearing in mind this is essentially pre-season, this means that our ability to play a friendly during that mid-week gap is limited to either: 1. Other top seeded teams (St. Johnstone, ICT, Partick etc.) - Why would we want to? 2. Highland/Lowland League teams (or lower) - most likely try to play Brora or Clach or someone 3. Foreign opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And totally-not-a-fix that Rangers get the last Saturday off which is clearly the best open date to have from the perspective of arranging an attractive friendly match.

Ned Nederlander Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 So every single year the second seeds will play the top seeds away!? Little bit harsh on the Championship that. Given that most sides league position can remain reasonably consistant over a number of years that could see the same teams having to make repeated journeys to the same few stadiums ... without ever getting to host their illustrious opponents !?

vikingTON Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 The boundaries of the two seed groups will change quite a lot each year and even if they were constant, the chance of drawing the same top seed would only be once every four years. There would be a few back to back visits but more often than not teams would be going a few years without visiting any ground on League Cup duty more than once (and wouldn't be doing so in the league that season). It's far better than the 'guaranteed derbies' pitch and effectively permanent groups that were being pitched earlier, which would have turned into a disaster after a couple of years.

NorthernLights Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Disappointed that both Edinburgh City games are midweek ones. I had been to every SPFL ground until they showed up so I'm keen to get that sorted sooner rather then later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
