Scottish Amateur Cup Semi-Final Draw


mgm

Recommended Posts

the draw was made and the venue's picked before the quarter finals had been played, so unless the 2 teams who Oban and Leven beat were asked then none of us were asked..... as far as i know or the rest of the committee.

 

As said on another forum, probably the 2 teams were just glad to get through to this stage and didnae know any better that they could challenge this decision.

 

Bad enough for Leven ( 1hr 45mins going and 1hr 10mins heading back maybe ) but give a thought for the Oban guys travelling down in a bus ( 2hrs 30mins ) and the worse bit......... all the way back home with a few pee stops on the way.

 

Mind the game won't finish till at least 9.15pmish. Get showered and changed ( takes oor lot at least 25 mins ) and their heading back up the road just before 10pm.

 

Question..... do the SAFA lay on any after match munchies for the teams or have they used up all their brownie points with Hamilton FC with their pre-match hospitality.

 

Can someone ask on the Twitter or other forums ( Weegie ones ) as they know all the perks and have the balls to ask the SAFA. Plus there teams reach the later stages more so than us Fife Minks. Even a LARGE plate of pies, sausage rolls or sannies would be appreciated by both teams.

 

The reason i ask the last question is that Leven Utd players and committee will be leaving about 4.30pm for the game and most of the guys will be coming either straight from work, picked up on the way or had the luxury of a half day but most will have not eaten from lunch time and I know for a fact that oor lot are like a herd of coos that need fed regularly and between food and drink we would need to find a 24hr ASDA to refuell our group

 

Oban must be in the same boat with this.

 

Cheers

It's pretty poor to play semi finals mid week, these are special matches which could lead to the biggest stage......winning your national cup

Not only for the teams but for their fans, sponsors etc, It should be a 'special day out' for all and as you've said not rushing around, taking time off work etc etc

This needs to be addressed via communication with the SAFA, and in the Semi finals and final the SAFA should be contributing to the after match events and pay for team buses

All the very best to Leven and all associated with the club in the Semi final and we know you'll be giving it your best
