steelboy Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 All the fixtures are good trips. Also if we don't beat Morton we should be able to get a runner's up spot again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donaldo87 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Excellent draw. Hopefully win the group and be seeded for the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Not hugely excited by the draw - I've seen us play both Queens Park and Morton many times in the cups, but at least we should get an away day to either Edinburgh city or, my preference, to Berwick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzie Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 I think that's a damn good draw, especially if we get Edinburgh City and/or Berwick away. Should be four wins too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livivoice Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Apart from the football side which I think gives us a good chance of progression in the tournament I am hoping from a personal point of view that we play Edinburgh City and Berwick Rangers away as these are 2 venues which I have never seen Motherwell play at. Yup I know I am pretty sad but with another unvisited venue being Stirling Albion on July 1 my `bucket list ` is nearing completion. Now, where did I leave my plane spotting book?

The teams were split into North/South on each seeding group based on geography. Because of the league placings the line in each pot was not in the same place.

Pretty sure Edinburgh City are moving to share Spartans' ground. Hope that helps your bucket list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleeastdave Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Yes Edinburgh City will play all their home games at Ainslie park while Meadowbank gets developed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Does anyone know when they decide what fixtures are home and away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Think by the silence that means no lol . BT sports have to decide what games they want to cover so I'm sure they will know probably what the fixtures are but can't announce until live games decided on by them .

steelboy Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I don't think so. The money gets pooled between all the teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellowell Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 I think last year the teams got 10K if in televised game at group stage which is nowhere near the usual 80K for cup games . Sure read this somewhere but might be wrong : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 Yes, it's £10,000 per team in the Group stages if your game is televised. Not great but better than nothing.The bad news is to verify that I had to go on to the Daily Record website to read an article there. The good news however is that I'm reminded why I rarely venture on to the Daily Record website by seeing reports such as how Egil Olsen missed out on the Celtic job because of his dog. Evidently things haven't improved in Rancid Towers since my last visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
