DA Baracus Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 East Fife had almost the exact same set up with the temporary wooden terrace when Sevco when in League 1. Just so happened we were also in League 1 at the time, so got to use said temporary wooden terrace. It's fine. No issue. Unsure why folk think there would be. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ever there was a night to test that theory (certainly with middle to front players) it was last Wednesday. Duk has been great, but it was clear he was f**ked at Hampden - and he was never going to be at-it at Tynecastle. Three or four others hobbled off too, but we have a lot of fringe players that in theory should be desperate to impress. Still that's now five days since Tynecastle, and the pitch is meant to be decent down in Darvel - so really no excuse in terms of fatigue/ poor playing surface etc.............the main worry remains our complete inability to defend. Annan scored with a simple bonce off a corner, after pinning us back for two or three separate spells down there. Let that happen tonight and there will be problems. Sad I can't go on this exotic mystery after experiencing the delights of Annan and Almaty in recent times. This is our first non-league opponent since 1971, and even then it was now in the league Elgin City.

anotherchance Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I don't trust our defence whatsoever but if it wasn't for the Shinnie factor I'd be a good bit more nervous than I am. Parking and being able to see the game might be more problematic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I’m very old, but this is only the third time Aberdeen have met a non-league in my lifetime. Deveronvale in 1961 when I was only 5, Elgin City in 1971 when I was going to the original game but it was flooded off and I couldn’t go to the amended date, so this is my very first time watching us playing a non-league side in a competitive match. And I have the fear, although we should be wiping the floor with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I did see us beat Deveronvale 9-2 in 1966, in what I remembered as a Dewar Shield tie, but apparently it was a friendly. https://afcheritage.org/matches/fixtures/mreport.cfm?fixture_id=5716&season=1966-67&squad=Senior 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their defence it was stated they'd never played by artificial light before . According to the Press & Journal their friendly against Aberdeen was: "a game which they are traditionally entitled to as County Cup winners... either at Banff... or at Pittodrie... the players plumped for Pittodrie" in which case it would have its origins in the Dewar Shield as Aberdeen and St Johnstone used to contest playoffs to enter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Considering this is on council telly, we’re on an abhorrent run, tickets only went on sale a week ago and it’s on a January Monday night in Ayrshire, around 800 fans heading down is pretty good going 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At which point you'd have had people howling that a classic cup tie was overlooked for TV in favour of both the Old Firm and an easy option like Kilmarnock v Dumbarton.
