UpInTheAyr Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Tuesday 26th October at home to the scum. Love a midweek game, I wonder what state we will be in by then and if it's so bad I debate going. Still trying to muster up the motivation to go to my first game of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be boycotting that game due to not agreeing with having colt teams in the competition. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Scotland game that night, would’ve been a good double header had it been Dumbarton, just a day out in Glasgow before hand instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
placidcasual Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 We should stick our academy side in against them. An absolute farce of a competition. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Jim McInally sticking his sub keeper on as a sub at right back tonight as a sort of protest and still beating Dundee u20's (with 3 players who are on loan to Peterhead in the cup playing for them against the club they are on loan to) But aye. Pity it wasn't Dumbarton. Daft competition but I'd definitely have went to that then City Centre before Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if he’s the type of striker we need but would be a decent signing imo. Was prolific for St Mirren in the season we went up under Hopkin. I'd say there's a good chance you're sniffing about. Only issue is that it's likely only a deal until January and he's only just back in training from a 20cm hamstring tear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk89 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 To be honest they should either revamp or bin the challenge cup, the colts need pushed into the sea. Hope the club doesn't entertain it and either fields youths or no shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The winners of the regional leagues play each other. 8 regions, quarter, semi and final. bigger teams can play reserve/youth teams in the group games if they want. local Games, not much travelling and maybe a wee bit more interest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could imagine the ex-Ayrshire Junior sides, Pollok etc in the WoSFL Premier would bring a very decent crowd to Somerset. Could potentially be an opportunity for clubs like Ayr to showcase some of our youth players who we are looking to loan out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowds at Beith and Auchinleck over the past couple of years confirm that there's much interest in these types of games. As you say, matches against Pollok, Kilbirnie Ladeside, Kilwinning, Irvine Meadow, Cumnock etc, etc would all be a bit of a novelty and draw much bigger crowds than any colts nonsense or even current League 1 & 2 sides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hursty Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I quite liked it the way it was before when it was just all the teams below the Premier League. No gimmicks etc but gave all the lower league clubs a good chance to win a trophy. But I was probably in a minority there as I doubt crowds were ever that big. Torn re: the Rangers B game. I like the idea of sticking out a youth team and not taking it seriously, but also don't fancy being one of the first full time Championship clubs to be punted out by them. Makes it even worse if the latter stages of the tournament are just Rangers / Celtic B etc as that will just be used to add to the campaign to get them into the leagues set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Jaffo Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 The challenge cup should involve teams doing challenges. I think it’d be far more entertaining if every team put forward one player to take part in one big Royal Rumble. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUFC 1910 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 What does everyone think of the letter that the Hamilton fans have sent to the club? Is it just a big riddy, or do you think it is a little reminder of who actually is important at a football club? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
