Its also our first away tie in this competition since it was rebranded as the Irn Bru Cup, with our last away tie in the challenge cup being Ayr United in the first round of the 2015-16 competition

I'm hoping for a draw away to Wales, Northern Ireland or indeed the Republic of Ireland, even Engerland in the next round! Glad we didn't draw a colt side.

The SPFL give cash to teams drawn outside Scotland, it was £5000 last season.

A cash sweetner to ease the burden of a camel trek of a journey - this money should have been kept in the price money instead amongst the three lower divisions in Scotland. I never attended last year's debacle against Spartans and will not attend any of these cup games this year. |

Hope the SFA come to their senses sometime soon and ditch this redundant excuse of a competition, will give this a miss too, totally pointless.

It would be a winner if like the old Texaco cup the English invites were Newcastle or Wolves etc - not the Borehamwood's or Sutton United's they are bringing in, who will probably be the finalists at the end of the day !

Fine by me; I'll miss the 4th of August game as I'm playing cricket about 100 yards from the Spartans' ground that day. Good (and very cheap) bar at the cricket club on Ferry Road! I'll let them know to expect some extra custom if anyone fancies it: it's pretty close to the ground being used by Edinburgh City.

That would be superb Stewmel - sure we would provide some additional income that day!! I'll make sure the Millers coach pulls up there! |
