Scottish Cup: Rangers draw Forres Mechanics

Featured Replies

I wonder if they'll move it to the Caley Stadium? Remember what happened with Telford Street and that other game against Keith.

Yes that was 1996 when Keith v Rangers in the third round was switched to Pittodrie then ICT v Rangers in the quarter finals was switched to Tannadice. Forres are meeting with police and other agencies tomorrow (Tue) morning to assess the feasibility of holding the game at Mossett Park which has a capacity of less than 1500, including 500 seats.

Caley Thistle are at home to Dundee United on September 29th which is when the game is currently scheduled although of course it may well be switched for TV. Aberdeen are also at home that day although Ross County are away.

It's interesting to assess how many fans that game could attract, given that Forres' normal home crowd would multiply severalfold while there might well also be quite a large Rangers support, given that this is the opening round of their big competition of the season. :smile:

Was hoping someone like Golspie Sutherland had drawn them, no idea what crowd they can hold.

Played at the old King George 1V park in the 70's. Capacity in the hundreds all standing.Not sure if it's been updated. Was all grass behind the railings.
