Strange venue when you consider the other team being from Wales

Could they not have chosen somewhere in Central Belt?

 

[roaring meg]

Hardly neutral

Yeah these finals are decided on location where possible - St Mirren and Motherwell could have host it

 

[Davieblue1977]

Bit far for the welsh team, unless there cheap flights from cardiff to inverness

 

[Bluebrox]

Another farcical decision in Scottish football.

Will be hilarious if the Welsh team beat them.

Where can we play this final?
Let's make it as far away as possible for the visiting team, we don't want a foreign team winning one of our trophies.
A home game for Ross County more or less. I'd tell them to %^*& off if I was the Welsh.

They are given around £4000-£5000 for travel expenses from the SPFL

I didnt know that @rangeral

Really!
Could that money not have been put in the grass pitches or VAR fund?

 

[Sebrof61]

Sensible would be Motherwell or Dumfries

 

[Superrangers]

Whoa whoa, enough of these sensible ideas. They have no place in Scottish football.

Yeah but works both ways any Scottish side travel outside Scotland get that as well

 

[williewoodburn]

Shows how much attention I pay to non-Rangers football, I haven't a clue whats going on here with this news. Are Ross County in a final of something?

 

[Gogso]

Still begs the same question. What a waste of money.

Yes same competition we played in 2 finals while in the lower leagues

Well once we out of the way they tried to keep interest in it

If our U20s were to drawn away against of the non-Scottish sides there would interest for those wishing to attend there is no doubt on that

 

[BroomloanWATP]

Sensible decision, will be easy for the players to get to Johnny Foxes after the game.

Think Liverpool Airport is the nearest one to them. Team is probably loaded with Scousers anyway

It's a Scottish cup, what else would they expect but to travel to Scotland?

Yes and seemingly against a welsh American football team.
