What about the part time players that have to take additional time off work to play abroad? They are not compensated.

Who is taking time off for these games though? They're played on a Saturday afternoon and kick off times are flexible on request. Even if a team is having an over night at one of these places I still don't really see many part time players being inconvenienced.

Boreham Wood Vs Pars confirmed as 1pm kickoff on the Saturday. I was hoping for a later kickoff, and drive down that morning. A 2 night stop it is.
Ridiculous. So any Pars fans wanting to travel on the day would have to leave at around 5am or most likely spend two nights down there.

I struggle to find the enthusiasm to travel 5 minutes to Palmerston for a CC game. Fair play to those who head down for this.

1 o'clock ko, £20 to get in.

That's should be enough reason not to allow these sides to enter ever again.

TNS v Queen's Park confirmed for 7:35pm on Saturday night, live on S4C.

Is this live on PremierSports, to suit Dunfermline, or so home fans can more easily make England-Spain?

Also I see they're trialling an electronic ticketing system for the first time at this tie, with fans advised to buy and print-at-home in advance. Physical tickets bought on the day will be £2 extra.

Doing a new fangled ticketing system at a competitive game where there might be a few neutrals has never went wrong before tbf...

Not too dissimilar from us last year against TNS. Punted to the late Sunday afternoon slot which was fairly shit tbh.

I imagine confirmation will be given after tomorrow night’s game but off-hand, what times have games involving RoI teams kicked off over there? Can vaguely remember Falkirk playing Sligo at 7.45 on the Saturday but can’t be 100% sure.

There is absolutely no reason why anyone would have to stay in London when the game finishes at 2:45 - 3:15 at the latest on a Saturday afternoon.  Travel down and have a piss-up on the Friday - stay overnight - go to the game and continue the piss-up on the journey back on Saturday evening.

Won't somebody think of the fans!!!!111!!!!!!!!!

If folk are going for a piss-up why on earth would they wait until after the game?
