The SFA consider them the problem child and have disowned them. At least they still get to play St. Andrews in that division (albeit their English namesakes). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's not all bad... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I'm hoping this isn't true but it's the talk of Waitrose. I will see your Waitrose made up nonsense and raise you....... I heard similar while buying black truffles in Harvey Nichols. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stulch Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I heard it from my concierge while he was sourcing my white truffles. I said don't come back without at least two dozen boxes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marten Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) This tweet could suggest that not just Bonnyrigg will get a license soon. They don't have to wait for them as they are already in the Scottish Cup after all. I can only assume Dundonald are also expected to get one?

parsforlife Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Preliminary rounds of the William Hills Scottish Cup is going to be interesting this year with all the new Licensed teams appearing for the first time.IIRC One of the justifications for the ‘Bonnyrigg’ farce(not the only team affected but they have got the most coverage ) was potential Scottish cup implications of giving too many team a license, it wouldn’t be a surprise for Scottish cup reform to happen at the AGM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already have two Preliminary rounds which has plenty of capacity. With live TV coming in at Round 1 from next season, and with the likes of Talbot having to start in the first Prelim round, they may even go the opposite and put everyone into R1 after a bit of tweeking to give broadcasters a wider range of games to show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it will be interesting to see new (and competitive) teams in the cup, despite the best efforts of the SFA to prevent improvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the introduction of a secondary prelim was particularly popular. Especially with byes no longer guaranteed for licence holders. I agree that removing some of the later round byes and having more clubs in earlier rounds is a strong possibility 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginaro Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Last season the schedule for the Scottish Cup was announced on 1st May. Might be giving the SFA too much credit here but I'd assume the delay this year is because they are going to change the format at the AGM? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dates have already been released as they're factored into the Highland League fixtures, the 1st round is on 21st September. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
