andrewh Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Still remember the last minute draw in 1995 at McDiarmid. I thought Stenny deserved that much at the time. It was followed by a 4-0 thrashing at Ochilview in the replay. There'll be no repeat of that this time. Easy win for the Saints? Just realised we're at home to a team second from bottom in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesc Fabregas Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'm looking forward to this. Stenhousemuir have absolutely nothing to lose so the players should go out these and enjoy themselves. McDiarmid Park holds a lot of special memories for the Warriors so who the heck knows what might happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 This is a good draw for Saints and should offer Tommy Wright the opportunity to ease into 5 games in 16 days, with Celtic Park looming on Wednesday night. Saints have had a couple of comfortable wins over Stenhousemuir in the not too distant past and have generally been unbothered by clubs from the bottom two divisions over the past decade, scoring 3+ goals in 9/13 wins over that time. I'd give Mannus and Watson a game and go with MacLean and Cummins up front, with a view to going with Kane on his own on Wednesday night. Liam Craig's goal threat from central midfield would get him the nod as well. Hopefully sensible prices announced today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I was at the The Warriors v Dundee United final. Great day! I was also at the 4-0 pumping. What a shite evening that was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEMSFC Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 3-0 Warriors. Cook, Furtado and Millar with the goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire-SFC Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Looking forward to getting to this one. I don't see a stenny win. But with no pressure on us, as FF said, we should go out and enjoy the occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Woolshed Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 £23 is an absolute joke. Not a chance I'll be heading down for this. I've read the article so I don't need to be told about the rules regarding it having no option but to be the usual price. Just can't believe negotiations between the club couldn't muster a sensible solution. Sub 2000 crowd imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So, in short Stenhousemuir wanted more money? Could be a record low attendance on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mizfit Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'd like to think that Saint's dropping Stenhousmuir in the shit for the prices would make them change their mind, but they probably won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club hadn't offered a cup top up this year, I'd suggest it might even have been into three figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Fairly poor from Stenhousemuir, tbh, but it's understandable theyll want to make as much money as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Woolshed Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Completely counter productive way to go about doing that though. Hope they earn next to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not hugely convinced the support will be that much different from what it would be. I've not any maths on it, but 1500 at £23 is £34,500, while 2000 at £15 is £30,000. A 500 fan difference is nearly £5k. Can't remember exactly how they split ticket prices but I'd imagine a couple of grand could be handy, and it's not as if we're not guilty of it aswell considering the prices for Celtic/Rangers matches.
