PB1994 Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Looks like it will be a Friday night/Saturday night depending on the police 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 The return of the Roman Derby - Ireland versus Scotland (Thistle). Hopefully another chance to say "Vicimus". Haven't been saying it much recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Never keen on visits to any city based stadium, parking is always an issue and the pubs nearer the ground are always populated with home fans with away fans not welcome, we haven't got a great record against Hibs but this will be a tough game and I feel we have a good chance of winning this game however given that we beat the team above them on saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Hopefully it's a weird kick off time as that's the only way I'll make it along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs vs Hearts is on the following Tuesday so neither will play on Sunday. Rangers play in Europe on the Wednesday the 26th, so they won't get the Friday game. So Hearts vs Rangers is on the Saturday. If it can be avoided, the Police will advise that Hibs and Hearts don't play at home at the same time, meaning that the Hibs game will be on Friday night. Due to the 3pm Saturday TV embargo, I'm guessing the other two fixtures will happen on Sunday.

TheScarf Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Would they not just reschedule the league fixtures, ie the Edinburgh Derby on the Tuesday? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but why would they need to? The Friday kickoff will annoy the Inverness fans, but on the Scottish Professional Football Scheduling Priority list, the ability of away fans to travel to see the game is a decidedly tertiary consideration, with them coming just below 'whether the companies advertising on Premier Sports would like to concoct a pun involving the kickoff time in their slogans' and just above 'whether the third-choice reserve ballboy has a school exam the next day' in the pecking order.

Lebowski Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 Unlikely. BT have the Edinburgh Derby on the Tuesday and Celtic on the Wednesday.

That would still point to either a Friday or Saturday kickoff, and Rangers still get the Saturday game, because of their Wednesday kickoff the week before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiG Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Seems it is almost certain to be a Friday night kick off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be an interesting tie, both of them keen to make the move to senior in Div2, Brora are running away with the HL but I doubt if they'll be interested in making the move to senior. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(shakes head in a forlorn and disapproving fashion) tsk tsk tsk doncha know that BBC pundits get roundly ridiculed for such loose use of language on here. Me, I'm a junior in all this so I wouldn't know if it is pedantry or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You reckon Brora aren't keen this time? They'd better throw the tie against Rose/Kelty then, as they'll have a job losing the Brechin double header while looking like they're trying 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth noting that Annan play all their home games on a Tuesday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
