Big Fifer Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Can't see a thread for this one. We've so far had the better of Livi this season but it can't be denied they are a better team. We're in great form at the minute though, so it should be a decent game. Still a bit worried about the size of our squad, I think eventually we will crash and burn if we don't get more bodies in, hopefully it's not this game!

AMC13 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Perfect opportunity to get through and get to a ground I've never been to before or go far in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Pretty much bang on the shitest draw we could have gotten. The most difficult game possible which also scores maximum on the boring factor. At least it's not that far to travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Shit draw for whoever loses this tie whoever wins will be thinking big draw in the next round. Its 2-1 East Fife on head to heads this season and have been really tough opposition for us. Hopefully we can sneak through though and as I say get a decent draw. I see the clubs couldn't agree on pricing for this tie, £15 for adults, £10 Concessions and £5 for under 16s. Considering our usual gate price is £12 I can't see any other reasoning for this, it was already a borinh prospect of playing a team from the same division again but this has made it even less appetising. This game will be played infront of our worst crowd of the season by some distance, <600 is recon, very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviLion Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Round 4 is pretty much our limit in this cup. Last time we got past this stage was 2007/08. Hopefully I'm wrong but don't think this year will be different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIVIFOREVER Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Don't mind playing East Fife, should have plenty of goals in it and be entertaining enough, and as we beat them 3-1 at home I've a bit of confidence we can get past them. Looking forward to seeing how Insall gets on against big Dec too, should be a good tussle between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hen Broon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 £15 for a cup game in January against same league opponents when our usual price is only £12. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiferjon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So the clubs cant agree a price for entry. So who has the final say ? Does a third party name the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 If the clubs can't agree a price between them the price is the standard price for a match at the ground of the team hosting the tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylivi1 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 So how we lining up for this one ? Mark Millar cup tied bring Jacobs in ? Kelly, Crighton, Gallagher, Halkett, Longridge, De Vita, Byrne, Pittman, Cadden, Mullen, Buchanan ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted January 19, 2017 Author Share Posted January 19, 2017 Been ages since I was at Livi, what's the best bet for a pre/post match shandy or two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've still been a pish crowd if it had been 12 or 13 quid, in fact I doubt it would've attracted that much more dropping it to a tenner. Either way it would've been well under 1,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the Almondvale suite under the south stand would be where i'd recommend but not sure if it'll be open on Sat, read they're doing a craft beer event over the weekend. The stadium bar should be open though, or the pub just up from the ground towards the centre. Several other boozers up by the shopping centre. The rest are 20 or 30 mins walk away, Livi Inn (Livi village), Saltire (up by the train station).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When is the penny going to drop with football clubs? Prob said it'll be a pish crowd anyway so we'll stick another 3 quid on and make 2 grand extra from the ones that turn up. Though we had to fork out 16 quid away to Airdrie in the last round tae so it's actually a pound cheaper for us this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
