Nugent4nil Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Read this morning that Kilmarnock are relaying Rugby Park at the end of the season, will this mean a new venue for the cup final or will there be a work around in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
megaspinnernet2 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 don't like rugby park for a junior cup final as it to big and the venue should be somewhere roughly halfway between the 2 clubs for example broadwood if it was an Auchinleck vs lochee united final as it about half way and an 8000 capacity should be ideal for the junior cup final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Caskie Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 As usual it will be wherever Talbot want it to be ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNU_Linux Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Somerset or Cappielow would be decent. Can't recall either hosting a final iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chis Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Venue depends on what parks are available with suitable facilities at the time as Clubs are involved in play-offs and close season maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvel legend Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 whoever plays the talbot give the other team home venue , it might make it a wee bit closer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larky9 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 New Douglas Park would be a good venue,as it holds 6,000 it would make the atmosphere better as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final needs to be at least month earlier for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden City Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 St Mirren would be ideal though the problem being maintenance being carried out on pitches as soon as the SPL is finished Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 If Rugby Park is shut, and assuming it will be a West final then Hamilton or Clyde seem possibilities. Lochee Utd getting to the final would open up other options. Raith hosted the Thornton replay v Renfrew for example. But being close to one support is always the preference it seems.

Shanner Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Don't really get the problem with the venue being closer to one club than the other as long as it's not ridiculous. The sense of neutrality isn't compromised by a travel advantage. Also it's not like the grade can afford to be picky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duraglit shareholder Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 St Mirren mid May,you know it makes sense, Trig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superpollok Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Is the fact the Scottish is played earlier this year not now open up the possibility of other grounds. The problem has always been the end of championship season is early May to fit in play offs. So ground recovery has started Therefore come the end of May weekend only the Premiership grounds are available, leaving pretty much an option of 1.

peasy23 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I haven't seen the point the last few years of a 6 or 7 week gap between the semis and the final. Second leg of the semis are on 7th April this year, surely the final can be played in early or mid May rather than wait until only a handful of venues are available?

allyg1977 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 As usual it will be wherever Talbot want it to be !
