David Gormley has hit out at the rescheduling of Kilwinning Rangers' league clash against Auchinleck Talbot - claiming it will leave The Buffs thousands of pounds out of pocket.The West of Scotland Premier Division rivals are set meet at Buffs Park tomorrow night after the game was brought forward from Saturday, November 19.But Kilwinning boss Gormley says the fixture change is bad news his club's coffers - as well as the profile of the league.He said: "It's a sucker punch to be honest with you"We had hospitality sold out for the original November 19 date and we've lost all that now with the change."That's 50 people at £50 a head - £2500 - that the club now won't recoup."On top of that, the rescheduled game is on the same night Rangers play Hearts.

It's no secret Kilwinning has a big Rangers support so we're maybe going to lose 100- 150 people on the gate too."We asked the league if they would consider rescheduling again - even playing 24 hours earlier when other Premier games are on - but we were told that wasn't possible."I just don't understand why they couldn't have done that or even pushed it back a few Wednesdays when the World Cup is on.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now.Get all the local news in your area – plus features, football news and the latest on the coronavirus crisis – at your fingertips 24/7.The free download features the latest breaking news and exclusive stories while you can customise your page with the sections that matter to you.The Ayrshire Live app is available to download now on iOS and Android."The big domestic leagues will be off and people will be looking to get out for their football fix.
