diamondman Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Looking ahead to league business. Important to regain momentum after the Cove defeat. Travelling up for the match. Mixed experience from past attendance but optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Kersey Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 This'll be five years to the day since SP took the helm at Links Park. Let's hope that our Wood Anniversary is one to remember. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted November 27, 2021 Author Share Posted November 27, 2021 Colin, you are indeed correct. One hopes that Scotrail will be sympathetic to the change 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QotS/Cove and Morton/Inverness are playing their respective replays they following midweek on the 7th. Can only imagine that the clubs get some say in the decision making process. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume the Cup is run by the SFA so they are superior to SPFL structure. Still annoyed . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cheaper dilemma is do I go to see Clyde or the Rovers or just sit in the house? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyDD Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Bit annoying that it's us having to cram fixtures around another side when it's them who have a replay to fit in, but hey ho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caro-Kann Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Never book with the trainline, always better to use Train Operating Company and they don't have booking fees. Scotrail allow a change of date but it incurs a £10 fee if an Advance ticket. https://scotrail.train-help.com/en/support/solutions/articles/78000000353-how-can-i-change-my-ticket- 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of the point; you expect to have to cram a game in when you are held to a draw in the cup and forced to replay the fixture. We won our cup game so expect we'd be playing our scheduled league game as normal on the Saturday, not having to play Tuesday/Saturday because one of our opponents drew in the cup. It really ought to be the Mo's problem, not ours, and yet both clubs are cramming in, instead of just the one, who only have themselves to blame. It's not the end of the world; just a bit of a pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondman Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Match timing makes it impossible to get back home by train before about 0025 on a Tuesday; so Scotrail refunding less £10 fee. Better than I expected in truth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PortyMo Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Be better for all concerned if the game is called off today. Save unnecessary travel on dangerous conditions and even if it does go ahead, the wind will make it farcical. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MO7S Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Ah but! Ah but! It's a BBC forecast so not likely to be accurate. Forecast from knowledgeable experts please. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
