Apart from ICT away, - probably the hardest possible draw.
Shame we didn't get one of the Junior teams at Palmerston bringing a decent crowd down, - but alas, - we will just have to give it a go.
Not much luck with the draw and yet another away game - now 5 - with only the Bairns and Montrose at home in the coming weeksQuote:

Its a shame that the league clubs weren't pulled out of one pot, - to avoid this sort of clash. I'm sure the non league clubs would all appreciate a chance of getting one of the 'big boys.' The trouble then would be determining whether the tie was played at home or away.
Of course, - I know that Bonyrigg are a league club, - but I was harking back to a few seasons ago, - when they brought an amazing crowd down to Palmy.
I remember Linlithgow Rose at Palmy in our run up to the 2008 Cup Final and they brought a decent following that boosted the crowd to just over 3,000Quote:
