No trip to Elgin or Hampden for us next season, with Albion Rovers knocking Elgin City out and Stranraer beating Queen's Park. Here's hoping Albion Rovers can do the business against Stranraer in the final and save us the tedious journey to Stair Park!
We'll be going back to Gayfield next term (Ok by me!) with the Lichties losing to Dumbarton, and there's also two trips to Ayr after the Honest Men were knocked out by Airdrie. Now, what would you prefer from those two finalists - both Airdrie and Dumbarton are rather unpleasant places to visit from my recent experience! Personally, I don't mind who eventually comes out on top from that one.
Of course, we already knew we'd be going back to Alloa (which I personally don't mind one bit!) and then there's two long trips down to Dumfries (long journey, but nice enough ground and the locals were fine).

Don't think it's the mileage on these trips we have to worry about Jim.

Ayr and QoS will be looking to bounce right back and Arbroath with whoever loses from Airdrie and Dumbarton will be looking to make a mends for missing out in the playoffs this year.

If we can get a good preseason under our belt then we should be challenging these clubs though.

Ayr United
Queen of the South
Arbroath
Stenhousmuir
East Fife
Forfar Athletic
Brechin City
Alloa Athletic

and either
Airdrie United or Dumbarton

and either
Stranraer or Albion Rovers

Unlike this, recently ended, season where I thought 4 place was the minimum expectation for Linn, Wallace and Co., I reckon that the top four next season will be made up of four from QoS, Ayr, Arbroath, Airdrie or Dumbarton and Alloa. 6th again ? Have to hope Forfar and Brechin have poor seasons again too.

Could be wrong

ayr and qots will loose there better players so i dont think theyll be as daangerous as first thought i think well easy make the plat offs if airdrie dont go up theyll win the league with ef alloa and either ayr or qots in play offs and hopefully raith to
