lubo_blaha Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Two guaranteed home games against Aberdeen, Celtic and Rangers. Not confident of making the top 6 again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topscot Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Our fixtures are reasonable, we seem to have avoided too many dreadful runs of games where we would most likely lose. I know that you have to play all teams anyway etc etc but having gaps of more winnable games between the historically tougher ones should stop us going on too many bad runs. The flip side is that it would be hard to build momentum and a winning run but being Kilmarnock a winning run isn't something we expect anyway.Sevco with Aberdeen, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs all at home twice before the split.If all these clubs make the top 6 it will be interesting to see if the SPFL make them play all 4 of these teams away. I doubt it. It's a conspiracy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdhafc1874 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 If Aberdeen win their Europa League tie, then our opening game will be moved to a Sunday, yeah? Yip Ooft.Bit of a (Glen) minter for our fans who've rushed to buy train tickets for the Saturday if the Dons win their Europa tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 9 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: Apart from Gretna FC who they gave AAAA then H (to Hearts - the biggest possible away crowd) to get them over the liquidation line... What was the reason for the 4 away's and a final home game, though? I get that they were basically going bust, but that still doesn't seem to make sense.

HibeeJibee Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 They were losing money hand-over-fist every time they played a home game at Fir Park due to the rental and cost of staging the game (policing, stewards, etc.) before small crowds - pitch was also knackered which had forced them to play an SPL game at Livi and a Scottish Cup tie at QotS. Not much said at the time, IIRC, but it was clearly to get them to the end. I can't recall another instance of club being scheduled 3 H or A games in a row, never mind 4 in a row - and I'm sure there has never been a case of someone getting 1/4 or 4/1 in the split, v 2/3 or 3/2. Even if there'd been some special reason for giving them 1 H and 4 A games clearly you'd have given them the H game in the middle; not 4 A games in a row then H v Hearts to end.
