jamamafegan Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Happy with that. 3 grounds there that I haven’t been to so will take any of them away from home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidernation Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 that's one hell of a round trip for the RossCo Stranraer game. Hope it's not a midweek tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 Really looking forward to the fixtures coming out so I can work out where to base myself for the camping trip. Possibly the Highlands if Cove, Peterhead, ICT and Ross County fall right. If not, Forfar or Cupar I reckon could be my base. Exciting times! (When you don't get out much, like me! LOL) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) The Spaghetti Bowl, Broadwood, New Douglas Park and the Balmoral. I predict a highest Group C attendance of 876. Edited June 8, 2023 by Hedgecutter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Douglas Park for us now too. Moved out Broadwood last year. I think the way the fixtures work though, you'll avoid 2 away trips to the same venue. Our group really is a dull one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckets Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) That's the fixtures out now. 5 games selected for TV including the Fife Derby and no Kilmarnock games selected. Thought Kilmarnock v Dunfermline would have been a certainty. https://spfl.co.uk/news/viaplay-cup-group-stage-fixtures Edited June 9, 2023 by Buckets 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spikethedee Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Pity not to have the Bonnyrigg game at the weekend, but good to see that Viaplay know the best way to finish the group stages is with the Box Office Dees on the telly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnseytheclaret Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 Looks like I'll be based in Forfar or Cupar, I reckon. Thinking of these games: Tues 25 Forfar Wed 26 FC Edinburgh Thu 27 hoping for a European game or non league or something Fri 28 as above Sat 29 need to decide, and help/advice welcome, bearing in mind where I'll be based and good ground/atmosphere: Falkirk Patrick Thistle Livingston Bonnyrigg Rose Albion Rovers or Queens Park (lesser Hampden) Sun 30 Dundee Any thoughts or suggestions? The alternative involves a Forfar/Highland split: 25 Forfar 26 Peterhead 29 Ross County 30 Dundee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The alternative involves a Forfar/Highland split: 25 Forfar 26 Peterhead 29 Ross County 30 Dundee If you can hang on to see Dundee on the 30th, I'd suggest staying somewhere in that area for the weekend and going to Arbroath on the 29th. Arbroath - Montrose is a feisty derby and they haven't met in the league for a few years, so that would definitely be my pick for the 29th. A good ground as well, that I think most people like. Lunan Bay is a nice camping spot a bit North of Arbroath. Unless you want to go to a ground specifically with the intent of the worst football fan experience ever, avoid FC Edinburgh. The ground is an absolute joke, though I did have a funny moment there last year when I inadvertently walked into the referee's changing room at 2.55 when looking for the toilets! Maybe splitting it would be a good idea. If you do go with Arbroath and Dundee, spending the first part in the West might be a good option. Queen of the South and Kilmarnock could be a good pairing with two very different grounds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
