Cheers, unfortunately at work. Will have to keep fingers crossed

More importantly when Is the next round played?

[Pretty Boy]

I still can't see how having it on Monday at 2PM is better than straight after the game at Tynecastle today.

A team standing outside the room where the draw is being made in muddy strips cheering when they get drawn is one of the classic sights of the cup imo.

A draw at 2 on a Monday afternoon when a vast majority of football supporters are at work and have to check who they get with a sneaky extra window open on their computer or with furitive glances at a smart phone is just crap.

We do seem to have some amount of idiots running the game

Absolutely. The problem is that the people who run Scottish Football are not proper supporters so have no idea how the majority feel or what they want.

Cant blame the cameras for wanting out of the PBS as quickly as possible:)
Joking aside , its another baffling decision by the SFA ,

Totally agree. The SFA are a bunch of clueless idiots.

[Danderhall Hibs]

The Monday lunchtime draw is an fa cup tradition that we seem to be copying.

[emerald green]

Can't ask for any more than a home tie in the next round, preferably avoiding Celtic and/or Dundee United.

He's expected to be involved today I heard!

Griffiths loves to get it up Hertz. Would be daft if they didn't play him.

I fail to see any reason why they can't do it that way and it's much more of a spectacle, with loads of people already watching on TV.

Monday afternoon seems to be the the most boring time they could choose.

I'm sure I remember an explanation that it was to do with sponsorship and keeping the sponsors name in the media until later in the week.

Doesn't really make sense to me. You have a far smaller audience tomorrow, any English folk watching are likely to use the SC draw as a chance to make a cup of tea. If the draw was made today it would still be all over the papers tomorrow and Tuesday, still be all over sites like here for a good few days. Delaying it by 24 hours achieves nothing imo.

Seems to me a Monday afternoon allows the blazers an excuse for another day with a few drinks and nibbles after todays hospitality at Ibrox or Tynecastle.

You old romantic

You are also spot on. Can't for the life of me get my head around the thinking of the SFA

[PatHead]

Bet you it will be an Old Firm draw with The Rangers needing cash.

With the amount of Cash they need, they would have to charge 100 quid per ticket.

In the outside chance we did draw Spartans away, would their ground be capable of holding the match?

I think it would be possible.

The old City Park had a capacity of 3000ish and handled sell outs v a then Premier League Livingston and St Mirren.

Ainslie Park is a far better facility than that and, with sensible policing, should be capable of hosting a big game.

Cheers, what is the capacity of their ground?

Stand holds 500, think the capacity will be around the same as City Park so about 3000.

I believe they had about 1300 there yesterday with no issues.

It will all depend if they wanted to give up home advantage for a bigger payday.

They would switch it to tynecastle imo
