Their 'stadium' only holds 2,500.
It would surely make sense to move to a bigger ground?

If the want to make some money they should move it to Palmerston. Though that would still be a shit plastic pitchTheir 'stadium' only holds 2,500.

Pretty sure the rules have changed on that. Rightly so to in my opinion.If the want to make some money they should move it to Palmerston. Though that would still be a shit plastic pitch
Smart thing for them, switch it to IbroxTheir 'stadium' only holds 2,500.

Fair point, didn’t know thatNot allowed to move it for financial reasons
It will go ahead at Galabank
Didnt know thisNot allowed to move it for financial reasons
It will go ahead at Galabank
It wouldn't just be financial reasons though. It only holds 500 seats.Not allowed to move it for financial reasons

And the scum just played AlloaRule 10.4 of the SFA rules is the one that applies.
A club can't unilaterally just decide to move a game because it wants to.
Only if the ground doesn't meet suitability reasons i.e safety concerns, lack of facilities could it be moved.
Given that we played at Fraserburgh a few years ago and Annan twice in the 3rd division I see no reason why it will change.
It's happened in the past where a small club would agree to switch it to Ibrox. Don't think this can happen now. It would have to be a different but bigger ground.Smart thing for them, switch it Ibrox
You're getting pumped out anyway. So why not get half of a 35-40k gate?
Fair enough.Rule 10.4 of the SFA rules is the one that applies.

I believe the rules are that you can move it to thenearest Premier groundTheir 'stadium' only holds 2,500.

Looking forward to this weekend.... great time to be had in Annan.no and a good day out last time
I don't think the fixture reserve ever happened in the Scottish Cup, sure some games were played at another venueIt's happened in the past where a small club would agree to switch it to Ibrox. Don't think this can happen now. It would have to be a different but bigger ground.
It is still able to host the game as like the 2 League games in 2012/13 seasonIt wouldn't just be financial reasons though. It only holds 500 seats.
I said that when draw came out could be a really good payday for them, look at Stirling they say that sets them up for a couple of years, but someone came back saying get real ya madman or something along those lines, Personally I agree would make perfect sense and give their players a good day out no doubt might be some bears supporters in their team who would love thatSmart thing for them, switch it Ibrox

Would that be Fir Park?I believe the rules are that you can move it to thenearest Premier ground
No ideaWould that be Fir Park?
Cross countryCarlisle would be decent.
It was for Gretna, AB.Would that be Fir Park?
This would surely fall under safety concerns?Only possibility could be safety concerns with the large travelling support, there will be fans trying to get in with no ticket or fake tickets going about like there was at Fraserburgh a few seasons back
That'd be excellentCarlisle would be decent.
Happened in 2012/13 in terms quality of the tickets Annan were producing for the 1st gameThis would surely fall under safety concerns?
Only 500 seats. The possibility of loads of fans arriving and trying to gain entry into a small ground.
If that’s the case, just by looking at Google Maps, it would either be The ‘Spaghettihad’ or Fir Park.I believe the rules are that you can move it to thenearest Premier ground
Annan it isIf that’s the case, just by looking at Google Maps, it would either be The ‘Spaghettihad’ or Fir Park.
Hopefully in the next couple of daysAny idea when the ko time will be confirmed.
This talk of moving grounds is nonsense
Thats the beauty of the scottish cup no?
Travelling to grounds that we might not be at again if we get 1,000 tickets so be it
Trust me, it is about the money to these wee ClubsI agree. If its just about the money dont bother playing the game. Just give them a lump sum.

When the build up to the football bill was in full swing, police were absolute cunts to the bears getting off that train from what I was told.I wonder if plod will film everyone travelling by train like they did previously taking names etc for no reason.
Fucking cunts.
11.8 have a big enough stadium for thousands and thousands of Bears to have a day out.Rule 10.4 of the SFA rules is the one that applies.
