Hamilton and Falkirk might be decent indicators for us as you’d imagine Hamilton will be trying to get straight back up and Falkirk will be one of the stronger League 1 teams. Also, both will be wanting their squads in place for these games and not treating them as preseason friendlies.

Rather we had somone other than Hamilton as that us playing them 5 times now, other than that very winnable group, but also chance we could be 3rd depending on Falkirk and how bad we start. Will be a good indication of how our recruitment was / style of play for the year etc

We seem to draw Edinburgh constantly in this, also accies in our group for 3rd time,

Is this the 5th year of the competition? Off the top of my head we’ve drawn Hamilton 3 times, Falkirk twice, Albion Rovers 3 times and Edinburgh City twice.

6th season in this format.

Clearly you're never going to switch between zones. Unlike some Central Belt clubs.

You've drawn Accies & Albion 3 times; Falkirk, Livi, Embra, Raer & Annan twice; St.M, Killie, Clyde, Sons, Jags, Ton, Stenny & Berwick once.

Teams in the South Zone in all 6 years include Airdrie, Q.o.S. & Queen's Park, so you've missed them every year. Accies, Albion, Annan, Embra & Raer have also been in every season, as have Clyde, Ton, Jags & St.M. 

You've swerved 'Well in all 5 seasons they've played and you've only got Killie, Sons & Stenny once out of 5. Livi have also played 5 seasons. Berwick have been in 4 seasons; Falkirk, Pars & EK 3; Rangers, Alloa, Spartans & Shire once.

Maybe you've had slightly less variety than some clubs: you could have played 25 different clubs and you've only played 15 of them... but after three group wins, two 2nds and 4 qualifications out of 5, I don't think you should complain too loudly!

...and as a comparison to the 24 League Cup group games...

The last 24 Scottish Cup ties Ayr have played v. SPFL opposition go back to the 08/09 season. The list includes 3 occasions when you've come out of the hat against Hibs and 2 ties apiece v. Clyde, Pars, Brechin & Queen's Park.

I have to agree with Chris the streaming at the start of last season was poor but did improve a lot by the end of the season.

Details:

Priced at £12 to comply with SPFL rules, this includes a live stream of the match, with commentary from the media team.

PPV access can be bought via this link:

Albion Rovers telling away fans they can purchase tickets to then decide it’s actually home fans only and start cancelling orders. What a farce. 

Have they actually cancelled any orders?

According to a couple of people on the SRE they have. I’d imagine you’d get away with it if you don’t declare your an Ayr fan.
