New Date To Cost Huntly

Jan 13 2008

HUNTLY boss Dave McGinlay has slammed the SFA over the new date for their frozen off Scottish Cup tie with Dundee .

The Highland League club are furious the match has been rearranged for Tuesday and say they'll lose out on gate money.

McGinlay said: "It's galling we're been forced to play on Tuesday night when both teams were keen play next Saturday.

"Safety of players and supporters is paramount andwe have no complaints about the decision to call the game off.

"But the Tuesday rearrangement means many Dundee fans will not be able to travel up to the match and that will hit our gate figures.

"The SFA should be trying to help the smaller clubs, not hinder them."
