Musselburgh Athletic v Forfar Athletic – Match Information

The ‘Loons’ head to ‘fresh pastures’ on Saturday first, the Olivebank Arena in Musselburgh the destination for a Scottish Gas Scottish Cup second round tie against the reigning East of Scotland League champions Musselburgh Athletic.

The East Lothian outfit have a remarkable home record, their 2-1 win over Dunipace on league duty a week past Saturday their 31st consecutive home competitive fixture without defeat.

Forfar Athletic will go into the fixture however with an excellent record over the past five seasons in the tournament against non SPFL sides with victories having been recorded over Berwick Rangers, Huntly, Tranent Juniors, Kilwinning Rangers, Formartine United and Linlithgow Rose over that period, four of those successes on ‘foreign soil’.

Hopefully a reasonable travelling support will make the journey over the Forth Bridge come Saturday to support Stuart Morrison and his colleagues, admission prices at Olivebank as follows;-

Adults £10
Concessions £5 (60 & over and students)
Under 16’s will be admitted free on the day if accompanied by a paying adult.

Tickets can be purchased in advance, see the Fanbase website for full detail. Cash or card payment facilities are also available on match day.

A full preview of the fixture will appear on FAFC social media outlets on Friday.
