Big Fifer Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 This has the makings of a great cup tie. St Mirren in freefall and us 11 games unbeaten and playing the best brand of football I've seen us play in a long time. I'm currently working on Saturday but aiming to get that shift removed to make this. If Saints do bring a thousand fans to Bayview then fair play, saw a photo of their away support over the weekend which I assume was away at Dumbarton and it looked very healthy, perhaps the cup game will give the fans a new lease of life to escape their miserable league form.

But I can't unfortunately remember the game at Love Street that some tiny man scored an absolute screamer in an eye bleeding bad game. Here you go!!! 6' 3" Craig "Tiny" O'Reilly ripping the net off at Love Street!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Gonnae be absolute chaos on Saturday. I expect between 1500 and 2000 Saints fans to make the journey. Score to be 3-0 to the Super Saints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east fife for life Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 This tie should be all ticket imo! I know quite a few folk who are attending this game, some of whom have never been to a game for years! Let's hope it's near capacity and everyone behaves.

LiamA Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 How will our board look stupid. East Fife did not make the decision on their own, it was done in consultation with the police and more importantly St Mirren who told the club how many of their fans to expect! This is standard practice for EVERY game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatdoug1938 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Fair point Liam. Just worry if there was any doubt at all that it should have been all ticket but I guess there was no doubt. 525 attendance!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 We could well bring upwards of 1000 but no way will it be 2000 as it's an awkward place to get to by train. Also the weather will have a big bearing. Any issues or iinspections will put plenty off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearest train station is Kirkcaldy btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiferjon Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Markinch ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Joe Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Definitely Markinch. Although fewer trains stop there, it's a 15 minute bus journey to Leven, followed by a short walk across the Bawbee Brig to the ground. There's also a great wee pub, Jamie's Bar two minutes walk from the train station in Markinch. Absolutely no need at all to dirty your feet in Kirkcaldy. Two bars at the ground where fans of both clubs are made welcome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby_F Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 My wife is a teacher and she's off Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Our initial plan had been to go to Paris this weekend (valentines, and the rugby). She was none too happy with with my alternative 'surprise weekend in Glenrothes', and looks at me with suspicion when I say "but Glenrothes is the Paris of the North!". Still, I'm sure she'll cheer up on the Saturday afternoon - I'm planning on taking her to the seaside . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P475 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Best of luck to the Fifers in this one. I also hope you fill the stadium too. EF have a real good chance of progressing here, I hope they have a right go at them. C'mon ye Fifers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mon_The_Fife Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 We have nothing to fear here and the pressure is very much on St Murn too.It's a real opportunity for us to get into the last 8 and a real money spinner or the winner of this could draw Ayr/Clyde and a real chance of making the semi finals.Alarm will be set for 4am to follow this.

Billy Jean King Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Ladbrokes finding it hard to split the 2 teams with 13/8 EF and 13/10 Saints. Wouldn't touch us with a bargepole betting wise right now despite our excellent cup form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two wins in the league all season and eight wins out of nine in the cups probably tells it's own story re pressure and our season so far!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
