Is it correct only S4C have taken-up their rights for this round? Yeah, the only televised game is Connah's Quay Nomads v Cove Rangers on Saturday at 5:15pm on S4C. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt they would just get away with it if they didn't turn up! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the players make their own way to whichever airport on the way. Risky strategy, trusting them all to turn up on time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Challenge Cup. They seem quite specific about that. I feel the Teacake is winning the battle, though.

HibeeJibee Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Solihull are flying up and down on the day, and their manager says it's the 6.5hr effort involved for fans getting there and back that overrode his view it was a distraction they didn't need. He went as far as to say "do we want to be in the Scottish Challenge Cup? No. It is what is is". Wrexham's manager says "it is a bit of a distraction... we will make changes and it might be good to introduce some of the youth players which was always in the back of my mind". Meanwhile the Waterford manager says "I am sorry we entered this cup now" and warns it may end-up their schoolboys against Hearts 'B' tonight. Great to see the foreign sides really buying into the tournament as they enter the fray... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to see the foreign sides really buying into the tournament as they enter the fray... Cross border competition is the aim, not entertainment or value for money. Bar a good day out for the troops who go everywhere (me in the past), there really is nothing of value in adding the non Scottish clubs.

Great to see the foreign sides really buying into the tournament as they enter the fray... Why are they in it then ? Is it their Chairmen that have forced the issue ? and if so why, as I don't believe the cash incentives are that great ?? Being honest I can take it or leave it myself, however I do see it as quite exciting playing against teams from other countries / leagues which then gives you the chance to assess where your club stands in the greater cross border picture. Having said that, it only works if the teams involved are intending on going full strength otherwise it makes a complete mockery of it all. I'm travelling down to Wrexham myself in the morning but I'm under no illusions that it will be half of their reserves / youths playing against half of our fringe / youths. Still, it will hopefully be a good night out in Chester, if nothing else........................ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did get a free one to share at the Hamilton game so I suppose I am conflicted. Looking forward to 1.00 kick off and an evening curry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Waterford 3-1 Hearts 'B' Of the 17 players stripped for Waterford's league game last weekend only 4 were in the matchday 17 tonight (single starter from last week and trio of subs including 'keeper) so it appears their manager followed through with his threat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
