We will get a small percentage of the gate for rental plus the raffle and pie stall,if we have enough volunteers to do everything WOuldnt putting a programme together be an idea?

ex-german exile Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I've seen on here and other threads that each club could each take ca.500 fans. Assuming an even split full price to concessions that's £6k at £8/£4.Charging £6/£3 hoping to attract extra fans would need an extra 334 neutrals to generate the same income, which is not going to happen. The West Region boffins are sadly lacking in many aspects, but they know how to maximise income. And of course, they need the cash to pay for the Quadrangle debacle.I understand that folks love to complain, but instead of pricing and posters being the issue, I still think the big story is that the date is only provisional based on Scottish Cup outcomes the week before.

Only thing I can argue with in that post is about the Quadrangular tourney, the SJFA would pay for that, not the West Region. Tbh that gives the East and North Regions all the more reason to be miffed as their money is paying for a competition that they are given no consideration for when it comes to hosting games.

That bit was meant a wee bit tongue and cheek, but I still can't believe it that the final has been scheduled for a Scottish Cup replay weekend.

Not the first time it's happened. Back in 2011 we played Shotts on the Monday night after the replay weekend, with both teams supposed to have a blank Saturday. We drew our cup tie so had to play a replay while Shotts had the day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they did last time the clubs met in the Sectional final up at our place. Or they could do what ourselves and Shotts did the time we met in the final at Firhill a while back and just both do their own issue...you could pick up theirs at one end of the ground and ours at the other - or both if you're a completist like me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANKIEBILL Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 we've done a joint programme for the last few finals. Can be a bit problematic if the sellers start to compete a bit too robustly for sales. I'm surprised there weren't fisty-cuffs at a cpl of the games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShahktarYerMaw Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Pollok are the PSG of Junior fitba... loads of cash, and high expectations. All the pressure is on them on Sunday, given the money they’ve spent. Nothing for the Bankies to lose... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
