Seeing as it's Rovers, I'd think Falkirk and Livingston would be the two most likely options. Falkirk is better in the sense that there are lots of pubs near Grahamston station, with the bonus it'll annoy them having loads of Fifers in their town on a Sunday afternoon. What’s it called? Cumbernauld! Or Airdrie again. Edited February 9, 2023 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

accies1874 Posted February 9, 2023 Author Share Posted February 9, 2023 Looks like Falkirk will be our hosts. A bit low-key for such a titanic affair - they've only got 3 stands ffs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Falkirk full of fifers for a day, imagine the misery if we win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 They'll almost certainly play it at an artificial surface roughly halfway between the two clubs which means it will be either Livingston or Falkirk probably. Airdrie's an outside shout but there were a few issues behind the scenes last year and it's far nearer Hamilton so only likely to be considered if the other two were unavailable. Likewise Broadwood as they'll not use a stadium which isn't used by a League member by choice. Clearly the likes of Stenhousemuir whilst geographically reasonable are not big enough. As grass pitches East End (too close to Raith anyway) and Perth (both clubs heading North) are unlikely even without other issues. Livingston have no 1st team game that weekend as an international weekend (acknowledge the women's game noted above but they'll get that moved if need be I'd imagine). Falkirk are playing on the Friday night which isn't ideal but a full clear day to get the stadium ready before a Sunday final is achievable. I'd have said Livingston was more likely but I know they weren't massively interested in hosting it last year so perhaps Falkirk is the more likely answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specky Ginger Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Of the venues realistically available, I think this is the best choice. Assuming we take just over 2500 like last season, then 1500 in half of the main stand 1000 behind the goal should create a half decent atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
