So Utd are in a group with....

Dundee
Raith Rovers
Cowdenbeath
Buckie Thistle

We should be finishing 2nd in that at least.

Decent group when you think about it.

Raith got relegated down to the 3rd tier.

Cowdenbeath needed penalty kicks v EK to stop them spinning out of the pro leagues.

And Buckie play in the Highland League (and EK beat them over 2 legs in the play-off).

Dundee away will obviously be the toughie.But even a draw there (and maybe win the penalty shoot-out for a bonus point) should see us potentially win the group.

Would definitely be looking at us finishing the best 2nd placed team regardless of Dens result.

Not too excited by the prospect of a derby, presently- sure it'll come.

See that Group G, it's nearly all synthetic pitches, just Albion Rovers have grass, the other four plastic.

Buckie spent the two legs kicking lumps out of the EK players.

You play the team drawn immediately below you at home, next one away, next at home, next away. Order games are played is worked out by spfl tho, so no idea what order we'll play them.

On way back fae Buckie you can stop at Kieth after 20 mins, then Huntly 15 mins later.
After that you can re visit yer route above or create a cultural experience to remember for those in pubs on the 2 other routes.

Hope it's a Saturday too. Only recorded footage will remind what the fuck happened on a trip like this so charge yer phones up & try not to loose them.

Shite for buckie away.

Glad the Derby is the furthest away date of all fixtures. Need as much time as possible to put a squad together.

lifesanocean · 06/6/2017 4:53 pm

Fuck, I'll be in Turkey when the derby is on. At least it's on telly I suppose.
