Sherrif John Bunnell Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Plenty of teams have been handed a Challenge Cup Final closer than 11 miles from their home town. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Challenge_Cup#Results 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 2 hours ago, yoda said: Twitter is a great laugh. Mostly whinging about it not being a neutral venue because it's so close to Dingwall and it's unheard of to ever hold a cup final this close to one of the finalists (I mean, I must have missed all Celtic's recent cup finals being moved out of Glasgow). Others questioning why it wasn't at Ibrox, Celtic Park, or Hampden. Scottish final held in Scotland. People shocked. Or even slightly more relevant to this competition, Rangers v Peterhead at Hampden in 2016! Cannot believe the brass neck of these Connah's Quay diddies. I doubt anybody will give a f**k if they wanted to withdraw next year as a result of this blatant injustice from the SPFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see suggestions on Twitter to host it somewhere like Palmerston. Other than the fact that QoS are at home that day, that would probably mean you'd play a final in front of a 3 figure crowd. No, that's great for the competition... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB1994 Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Surely if it’s as big a deal to the Welsh teams fans as being made out, travelling an extra few hours from the Central Belt to Inverness makes f**k all difference to them? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the issue is any deeper than that. Anyway, the way County are playing, it's far from a sure thing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 The only thing I remember about last years final was the Tremarco winner and Jake Mulraney throwing "shade" at me on Twitter because I said he wasn't very good at football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you go fire up Friday night? Assuming that they're running on the Friday. Then fire down the East Coast route after the game or on the Sunday? 2 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: TV game on Saturday afternoon. Unusual. It was the same in the final last year. I recall because we were at Tannadice which meant I only missed the first 17 or so minutes as I chucked it on when I got in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 yes The game will be broadcast live on BT Sport, S4C (dual commentary) and BBC Alba (Gaelic commentary)Strange again that BT are showing this (as they did the semi final in Dingwall) when they didn't have rights earlier in the season, and neither they or the SPFL released any statements to the press. I wonder if this means any more cash coming to the clubs, or if they've wangled something to get out of showing some league games (whixh would be bizarre given the TV audience they'll attract fot the Irn Bru Cup will be minimal). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
