Draw for the first round made today.

 

Edinburgh Uni v Spartans

Threave Rovers v Rothes

Golspie Sutherland v Edinburgh City

Huntly v Preston Athletic

Coldstream v Wick

Girvan v Auchinleck Talbot

Selkirk v Turriff Utd

Fort William v Newton Stewart

Forres Mechanics v Keith

Fraserburgh v Civil Service Strollers

Gala Fairydean Rovers v Glasgow Uni

Brora Rangers v Vale of Leithen

Deveronvale v Clachnacuddin

Inverurie Locos v Burntisland Shipyard

Hawick Royal Albert v St Cuthbert Wanderers

Lossiemouth v Culter

Linlithgow Rose v Nairn County

 

Fucking hell, do they deliberately pick out the most distant team for Wick every year?

They must hate the Scottish Cup and the losses they make on it.

 

Few Highland v Lowland ties which should be interesting but I'll go for Rose v Nairn as tie of the round.

Agree that Linlithgow v Nairn is probably the tie of the round.

 

Some horrible journeys in there as well. Turriff having to go to Selkirk, Edinburgh City travelling to Golspie and Vale having to travel from the borders to Brora as well as Wicks annual mystery tour. 

I add Newton Stewart to Fort William as a horror journey. Did that a few times when we were moving from N.S. to Ardnamurchan

Wanted to check this, since the qualifying cups were abolished, in the last few yrs Wick have played at

 

2012 - Spartans and Berwick Rangers

2011 - 2 home games, one of which involved Coldstream travelling however many miles to lose 9-1

2010  - Whitehill Welfare

2009 - (Clach) and Girvan

2008 - St Cuthberts, Edinburgh City (went to replay)

2007 - home game v Vale

 

 

Nice short return journey for Fort William

Nice short return journey for Fort William 

 

Nae the longest journey on that list by far - Wicks journey was almost twice that of Newton Stewarts. There really should be regional groupings at this stage as its a huge expense for these smaller clubs.

 

Journey distance:

Wick 624 miles

Buckie 580 miles

Vale of Leithen 442 miles

Edinburgh City 408 miles

Turriff 398 miles

Newton Stewart 360 miles

What you mean like a qualifying cup

No the 1st round too

My point is that there was a regionalised set up, aka the qualifying cup, which they disbanded for an all in nation wide 1st round.

Newton Stewart beat Fort William and Culter beat Lossiemouth and now face each other in the second round. Awesome chance for Culter to get into the third round

Was at 2nd round tie between Edinburgh City and Fraserburgh on Saturday. Was funny to watch the Broch junkies blow a 2 goal lead with the last kick of the ball for it to finish 4-4.

Wouldn't bank on your comment being 100% correct MBT

Wrong on several points Mbt.

Fair enough, I stand in the corner with my dunce's cap on for 3 hours. 

Celtic Park has been named by the Scottish Football Association as the venue for this year's Scottish Cup final on Saturday 17 May.    Ibrox Stadium will also stage both of this season's semi-final matches.

    Hampden Park is unavailable due to redevelopment work taking place to lay track for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

 

 

No doubt they never even bothered to consider Murrayfield.

What and risk not giving Celtic a wee helping hand?
