ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Decent tie and an opportunity to visit another ground I haven't been to before and hopefully the start of a good cup run. We should get half the main stand at Bayview and at least two of the temporary stands if they are still there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WullieBroonIsGod Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Temp stands are long gone. Capacity is just under 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 What is your average home attendance these days? Shouldn't have any problem getting a ticket then I hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WullieBroonIsGod Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 600 is a good crowd these days Shouldn't imagine it being tough getting a ticket. Club normally try and punt a few in hospitality, but not sure how popular it is midweek. Will you lot bring a few through? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMFCfan1886 Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 The newfound hope that has spread throughout the club after the Rangers games and the new signings will hopefully continue into the rest of the season. Took a good crowd to Inverness on Saturday. Our Cup support is always good and since we haven't been to Bayview for years we will probably take 800-1000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Our cup support can be surprisingly big at times - especially if it's somewhere we don't go often - but if the ground hold 2000, I can't see it being a problem given that it's the early rounds. As I said in the draw thread - really happy with this draw and it's a rare chance to go to a ground that I've never been to against a good club. After the Albion Rovers disaster, I really hope there aren't any 'Well fans going mad with the 3 and 4-0 predictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Purely going by previous SPL clubs visits to Bayview in cup games, I'd be pretty surprised/impressed if the away half of the stand wasn't big enough. It's only Rangers and Hearts where capacity has been an issue since moving to the new ground. Tough draw but after an encouraging start, I'm confident we can make a game of it at least.

Gianfranco Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Will hopefully make this if it's the Wednesday it's another ground to tick of the last. Should be a decent game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I think we will make a good account of ourselves and can surprise a few people here, regardless though really looking forward to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crilly Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I take it that we can use the wind turbine as a good guide as to where the stadium is situated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think the last time we played Motherwell, a certain James McFadden was all the rage. Must be close to around 10 years ago now? I think we lost 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyWellFan Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Another ground to tick of the list so I'm pleased with this draw. Should be a comfortable passage through to the next round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Steven Ferguson, former East Fife centre forward, who was transferred to Spurs also played for Motherwell that evening. I think we had him on loan I think - scored in a comedy 6-2 humping of Hearts at Fir Park IIRC... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archie McSquackle Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 We get a good crowds for away ties in the Scottish Cup but a lot less for League Cup ties, particularly with them being midweek. I'd expect four or five hundred to travel. As for predictions, I think I'd have to see at least one of the teams in action this season first.

mjw Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Will we need to give our female physio the night off for this game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crilly Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Its a bit odd that its all ticket for away fans but PATG for home fans. Surely it should have been totally all ticket or totally PATG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welldaft Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 I have got my ticket. Looking forward to going to a new ground (for me). Getting the red eye to London on the Wednesday, so could do without ET and penalties... Good win for East Fife yesterday. Any team scoring 5 goals needs close attention.
