Spartans Chairman Craig Graham said “Henry the Annan Chairman was saying on Saturday how much they have had to spend on Galabank to meet SFL requirements.  Maybe he will offer to forfeit the tie on Saturday because of the significant cost of getting to Elgin from Annan in the next round.  Hopefully the weather will be kinder this Saturday and we will get the game played.  Both clubs are really looking forward to it,  we do enjoy being the underdogs.  We did get the chance to watch Annan train on Saturday as they worked out on their synthetic training area, they certainly looked fit and very sharp.  In a sneaky move Henry and his committee kept our players off the training pitch with the offer of free drinks and some heavy duty steak pies in the bar.”
