    I wouldn't want a trip to Northern Ireland or Wales and would be happy with Dumbarton at home. I was going to say Raith but with them leading League One that could be a tricky tie, as St Mirren found out today.

    Crusaders at home. A mixture of Dundee United reserves and youths beat Linfield today. Northern Ireland league is a poor standard.

    A home tie against them would do nicely. Don’t fancy a trip to loyalist Belfast. If we’re to make a long distance away trip let it be Wales, please.

    Sorry,but this was brought up last year.The New Saints play in Park Hall/Whittington that is in Shropshire.Not Wales.Would love it if we got them there mind you.Prefer them at home though��Crusaders at home would be the optimum draw.

    So it would seem although Wikipedia says “The New Saints or TNS is a full-time-professional Welsh football club representing Oswestry in Shropshire and Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain in Powys, Wales”. No doubting that they play in England though! Either way, i’d rather go there than Seaview. Agree Crusaders at home would the plum draw though.

    Would like a home draw in this cup as the Scottish cup is the week later and a nice away game in that would be better but not long to we find out.

    The away game to Dumbarton will have to be rearranged as that is when the quarter final match is due to play 11 Nov with the 3rd round of the Scottish cup the following week.

    The New Saints -

    Park Hall is situated around one and half miles north east of the English town of Oswestry, and a similar distance south of the small town of Gobowen. To be honest, if feels like it is in the middle of nowhere.

    Park Hall, was the former home of Oswestry Town and was until a few years ago an athletics circuit with a small stand on the south side. This stand has now been replaced by a sprawling 2 level complex called The Venue, which consists of a large car park, a bowling alley, and a fitness centre on the top floor, and the football club offices, dressing rooms on the lower floor leading out to pitchside. The former athletics circuit has been removed and replaced by an artificial playing surface and modern corner floodlights which can be adjusted to community use on non matchdays. Two sides of the ground look out onto a countryside setting, sheltered by a row of trees that once surrounding the oval shape of the athletics circuit. The ground itself does have a perimeter fence, but not of the type you would normally associate at a football ground, as the whole pitch is visible from the football traffic car park at the Burma Road end.

    The North and West sides of Park Hall are essentially the same, a narrow strip of flat standing tarmac surrounds the pitch with the remains of the athletics circuit now outside the borders of the ground. This leads all eyes to focus on the facilities on the south side or The Venue side of the ground. The structures from the outside rather give the impression that Park Hall is a well developed stadium, but this is not the case. There is a temporary seating structure on the South side. A narrow all seated stand with a canvas roof, with a capacity of just under 300 sits towards the East End. For bigger games then additional temporary seating can be brought in to sit directly in front of the bare wall of the Venue. Above this area is a viewing balcony which is accessed by a metal staircase at the side of the players entrance.

    However the stadium has been improved with the opening in 2012 of a new semi-permanent structure at the East End. This covered all seated stand has a capacity of 500. Currently it only runs for half the width of the pitch ending just behind the goal, but it is hoped that at some point it can be doubled in size to fill the whole end and have corporate hospitality boxes incorporated at the back.
