The draw for this will be made at WorldNet. There's been a terrific response this year - so much so that 44 teams have entered the cup. Due to this, there will be a preliminary round where 20 teams will receive a bye into the first round proper and the other 24 will play a tie to make up the 32 in the first round.
So there's a 50% chance we'll play a preliminary round before the first round proper.
As always, I've entered us into the random pot for the first round. The prelim round will be regionalised though so if we're drawn in that, we'll likely have a home game or an away tie vs another Scottish team/northern English team.
Here's the deadlines that each round MUST be played by. There's no discretion with this. IFA Cup is to take priority over any other games.
Draw: Saturday 20th July 2013 (at WorldNet)
Preliminary Round (if required): 1st October 2013 First Round: 1st November 2013 Second Round: 28th February 2014 Quarter-Finals: 30th April 2014 Semi-Finals: 1st July 2014 The Final will take place on Friday 18th July 2014 at the venue for WorldNET 2014.

Lads,
Good news and bad news (for some). Date sorted with Halifax for our cup game down there - Saturday November 2nd. Livi aren't scheduled to be playing that day as it's a Scottish Cup weekend and we don't go in to the following round.
Bad news is that due to the fact Halifax are away in the afternoon, the game will be a 10am KO. It's about 4 hours to Halifax so will likely be one of our famours 4am/4.30am starts!
I'll put the feelers out just now about the minibus again and see what the script is. We'd most likely just be heading down and back up on the same day. Could even play our game then head somewhere for grub and Soccer Saturday before heading back up the road. No idea what costs will be for travel or what not but hopefully keep the costs to a minimum again.
So, looking to see who could make it on that day.
I'm available.

John from Halifax has got in touch to say that although they'll need to shoot off to get to the Halifax game in the afternoon, he's going to see the pub that they normally use to see if they can do us some free grub (chilli and chips or something) or at least some discounted food. They've got Sky and what not so if we were wanting to just head somewhere for food, drink and Soccer Saturday, we can head there.
