AUFC 1910 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 When else would you play it given that Auchinleck don't have floodlights? Midnight, use wan of they balls from the blind football. Supporters to be provided with glowsticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginaro Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Can't play it the Saturday afterwards as Ayr host Dundee United on the Friday night and BT Sport won't want that cancelled. Maybe Saturday 2nd but that's just a week before the fifth round. All of the other ties' replays/postponements are being played midweek. Hire in some floodlights or switch it to Somerset Park if you don't want it on a Wednesday afternoon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Scottish Cup rules only ask for rescheduled matches to be played on Saturdays until Round 3. After that it's the second midweek following the match unless all parties agree otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callum-ayr Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Not a dig at Talbot, but surely floodlights should be a requirement at this stage. It’s ridiculous that a game would have to be played at 1pm on a Wednesday. Similarly if we we were at home in the first leg and it went to a replay, it would have to be an afternoon during the week.

Wile E Coyote Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Why are you guys surprised by this. it has always been this way. Beith played Airdrie on a midweek afternoon and yourselfs played Lochee on a midweek afternoon. Talbot's covers are going down on Wednesday morning and are meant to protect surfaces whem temperatures are as low as -8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The rescheduled game is 1 pm on a Wednesday because the butcher,the baker and the candlestick maker only work a half day on a Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming you’re not an over 60s bus card holder, you’re as well getting a supporters bus. Probably cheaper and no hanging about after the game.

Even when it was played it was like Bambi on Ice and should have been called off again. Entirely different set of circumstances. I think the Beith game was called off multiple times too, although I'll happily be corrected on that one if I'm wrong. Big question is, will all the Talbot players be able to get a day off work? FWIW i think we'll be fine for Saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about the place they call the "mad hoose". The Mad Hoose (Market Inn) is fine. Kyle runs a good pub. Usually free jukebox and pool table at weekends. There's an indoor bowling club with a bar too, across from Freddie Williams bookies. Snacks available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious about the place they call the "mad hoose". I visited one three or four years ago before a Cumnock game. As nobody knew us most of the locals started screaming Cumnock b*****ds and were looking for an opportunity to kick off. After they heard our accents ordering a pint it all went quiet again and we played pool in peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
