Deanburn Dave Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 I see a post on the EoS forum about the Scottish Cup. The Draw is tomorrow for both preliminary rounds.26 teams in preliminary round 1. Only 4 teams get picked for TWO preliminary round 1 games (on 28 November) and the other 22 teams get a bye. Preliminary round 2 features the 22 given a bye + the two winners of the preliminary round 1 games + nearly all the Highland and Lowland League teams....... including the BU's (Total 52 teams). Games on Saturday 12 December 2020.Those 26 winners then go into the First Round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 First round proper of the Scottish is the 26 winners. + Top 2 from the Highland + top 2 from the Lowland League + 10 League Two teams ( 40 teams). Games on 26 December. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Watched Max's post match interview on Twitter. Great to hear a proper manager talking honestly about his team, warts and all........none of that media trained bland beige mush you hear from the managers higher up the leagues. If you haven't seen it give yourself a treat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Been in the Scottish a couple of times as East Juniors champions. Beat Queens Park 2-1 one season and Elgin City another.The Elgin games were classics. Manager went 5-5-0 formation up at Elgin to keep it tight and we looked rubbish. Trailing 3-0 at halftime he changed to 4-3-3 and fought back to 4-4 to earn a replay. The replay was another goalfest and ended 5-4. Even big Marvyn Andrews couldn't stop the BU's from banging them in. #HappyDays 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 Agree Jamboness it could have been worse.Coldstream have 2 wins and 4 defeats in the 2nd tier of the EoS leagues. At home this season they beat Craigroyston and Dalkeith. If the BU players turn up and perform they will be hot favourites to win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hip Priest Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 Can't really grumble about the draw in that, "on paper" at least, it gives us a decent chance of progression. Just a shame that circumstances mean we'll miss what might have been a memorable away day, and probably won't be able to see the game at all. Had a wee look at their Twitter to see if they were broadcasting games on the internet, disnae look like it...and yet they've got the cheek to nickname themselves "the Streamers"! #tradedescriptions 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted November 10, 2020 Author Share Posted November 10, 2020 IF ( and it's a big IF) the Borders were down to Level 1 is there not a chance some neutrals would be admitted to the game. ....... obviously Away fans shouldn't attend but what harm would there be with a few neutrals who happened to be in the vicinity popping in.#BordersRaiders 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home Park also got its license when it was a public park. Presumably the path that was a perimeter at the side of the pitch is closed on a matchday or has been diverted nowadays. HJ will know the exact geographical features 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 (edited) Home Park is enclosed. Shut to general public during matchdays, including the path between both gates which comprises the side standing area. Other times you can freely walk around. Crowds of upto 300 home fans are currently permitted in tier 1 areas: subject to various protocols, and no club is under any obligation to open-up. Being frank: I'd cool your enthusiasm.
