That's a number that won't have pleased the visiting fans. They'll think it was a conspiracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always start to take off at the latter stages when clubs field stronger teams at the prospect of cash and silverware. I would agree with that Berk. Cup games arn't on the season ticket these days so a lot of folk may opt out of going also quite a few sides now include the ticket holder in league crowds whether they attend or not so those crowds are inflated anyway. Cup games will be the only ones your going to see an accurate with the split on the takings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Most of those are understandably low. You'd expect more at Dundee United given the size of the club and the novelty factor. Inverness vs Peterhead being a derby would probably have drawn more if Caley weren't so crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relichtie Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Day of contrasts. There was, by the standards the competition now sets, a pretty excellent crowd at Falkirk. There were astonishingly low crowds at Inverness (didn't make 4 figures); Dundee Utd (sub 2,000); and Cove v Crusaders (under 300). Tannadice has now actually seen 3 sub 2,000 crowds in 3 rounds. Falkirk-Dunfermline = first crowd over 2,000 in this season's competition.Falkirk v Dunfermline - 4,082 St Mirren v Raith - 1,970 Dundee Utd v Linfield - 1,967 Inverness CT v Peterhead - 960 Montrose v QotS - 534 Dumbarton v Stranraer - 492 TNS v Elgin - 404 Cove v Crusaders - 268 An absolutely pointless competition now that the League Cup has given teams more games in the sections. The introduction of Welsh and Irish sides won't make it any more attractive as some of yesterday's attendances show. 404 and 268 at 2 of the matches. Only 3 of the ties topped 1k and 2 of those were Scottish sides facing each other. Give it up Doncaster and preferably resign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nowhereman Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 And the fact that the quarterfinals take precedence over league games which will be shunted to midweek beggars belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you expect more? On TV, scummy opposition, manager already announced it was a youth team. I'm amazed it made 4 figures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it looks as if that was one of the biggest crowds of the season for TNS. Welsh football must be fucking awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be delighted if Falkirk could get crusaders or Linfield away as I'm on the same land mass and I love the chips from the bethany on Newtownards road. Did Linfield beat Dundee Utd?

Big Berk Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I think most folk want a tie against TNS or Crusaders. That would suit me, preferably at Stark's, but knowing our luck it'll be away to QOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If we get drawn against another team from this division I say we inform the SPFL we played 11 ineligible players on Saturday there and wish to be removed from the competition.
