Talk to the Kilbirnie fans then geography Beith would be a east team to is and Largs would be west but we are all classed as North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlowe Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This should settle it once and for all. Achinlek is in the Province of Kyle, or was in 1654 according to Timothy Pont's map. Cumnock didn't exist then as such, Lefno Castle which had variations on that name is where now stands Dumfries House, near to Cumnock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superpollok Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Why does the final have to played as late as it is. Less rounds this season meant we have finalists sorted by first Saturday in April. Therefore the final could have been played early May. Would that not have allowed much more options of places to play. 5th May for example in Kilmarnock, Killie away on the Saturday that weekend, could that have allowed a Sunday game? Or 5th May st Mirren away and their park still in use the week after so end of season ground maintenance wouldn’t have started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Ayrshire League and South Ayrshire League. In those days Troon played in the North Ayrshire leagues. So Troon are North Ayrshire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Were' a North Ayrshire team as in they played in a North Ayrshire league just as Kello Rovers, once upon a time were a South Ayrshire team because even though they are not in Ayrshire, they still played in the South Ayrshire league.

I would not mind an extra fiver on price of admission if it helped pay for hiring Hampden, All national cup finals should be played at the national stadium.Give the players that have knocked their pans in all season a chance to grace Hampden, most would say that was the highlight of their careers to play at Hampden, i know people will argue about atmosphere and empty seats, but i would be more excited and proud at watching my team run out at Hampden than the thought of them coming out on to the plastic at Hamilton.Ive heard its ￡30K to hire Hampden, that may be wrong, but if the crowd was around 6K an extra ￡5 on ticket would cover the cost of hiring, i beleive thats a price worth paying to reward our players the chance to lift the Scottish Cup at our national stadium.

Totally agree and I attended the scottish amateur Cup final in goldenhill v shortlees and despite there being loads of gaps it felt okay being in amongst about 1000 fans, you just switched off to the empty seats and enjoyed a good game on a very good grass pitch, it would without a doubt be a proud moment for players to tell their future kids and grandkids that they played at hampden, a lot different from telling them they played in a Scottish Cup final between two Ayrshire teams on a plastic pitch up in Lanarkshire.
