HibeeJibee Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 I would imagine so if they've advertised the venue and time... I didn't make it myself but they were actively encouraging people to go to the preliminaries draw at Coldstream Museum a couple of months ago. Normally when they're in the Football Museum/Hall of Fame at Hampden or in William Hill shops they want a crowd to gather to make the photos look better. It's years ago now... back when Tennant's were the sponsors, it was still the old Qualifying Cups and most clubs got random byes in R1... they held it in the Pleasance Cabaret Bar in Edinburgh because Edinburgh University had qualified for the first time in years. That's the only time I've ever been to one, and there was a decent crowd. I think a lot of clubs tend to send reps along if they can - to bask in the kudos and fix-up some arrangements with whoever they draw - but don't suppose there will be so many of those trailing up to Aberdeen as compared to the central belt. SFA President is from Cove so it's probably a perk and chance to publicise their stadium plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cowdenbeath Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 From what i've heard from a friend who was at the Leith game the replay is as HJ said on 5th October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 CC tweet confirms - 8pm that Wednesday. Unusual to get a midweek replay in R1 - and Clyde are away this Saturday. Cumbernauld presumably prefer to play LL game at Gala, and Leith to host EOSL game v Coldstream. LL has a near-full card that midweek - Cumbernauld v Whitehill will be cancelled.

HibeeJibee Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Probably wouldn't have been in midweek - LL keep several free dates in March-April for rescheduling games, and both those clubs play on 3G which keeps their postponement totals down. Cumbernauld didn't enter the EOS Qualifying Cup and Gala were eliminated by Spartans in R1, so might not have games on QF day in December or SF day in January either. Cumbernauld played their postponed R2 tie with Stirling Albion on midweek last season so maybe they just prefer leaving things as they stand. I was more surprised from Leith's side tbh.

Ah forgot about the free weeks in the LL. When I 1st seen Clyde were away next week I thought it would be on the Saturday as you say you would think it would have been better for Leith to play on the Saturday.

Sherrif John Bunnell Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Excellent stuff on the Scottish Cup official FB page. I'm fairly sure they have highlights from every game posted. Some top quality raging in a full range of regional accents. https://www.facebook.com/scottishcup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cumbernauld v Leith Didn't Beith play their replay with Airdrie in midweek in 2010/11? I seem to remember it being during Christmas holidsys after the game had been postponed many times due to snow. To be fair reading your post we maybe didn't have a choice to play it at weekend due to the many postponements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 That's correct. Upto and including R3 you can have a second weekend - which as shown above most clubs take - but if still not resolved you have to try twice a midweek, lights or not.

Yes that is true, postponed on the second Saturday for the Replay week of the referees strike. Game was due to be played on the following Tuesday postponed again due to a freak snow blizzard, postponed all the way up until the Tuesday 3rd January 1.45 ko with a crowd of 1600+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
