Broony88 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Good to see this game going ahead after the grand national trial on the pitch yesterday. Ground staff have done a great job getting it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICT definitely have more to offer though, unless they take the foot off the gas. It's not great viewing though tbh Aye. I hope Crusaders get a goal tom put some excitement into it.

If the standard of their league is "embarassing" as you say so must be ours, so there would be no incongruity in having them in this tournament. Except this is their best team and our 19th.

Kieran Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Would assume the final would be played at McDiarmid Park, our finals against Airdrie in 2003 and Dundee in 2009 were both held there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually been to see us there before so it would let me tick that off if it was. I'm not sure how many ICT would take but I'd expect us to take a decent crowd considering we had nearly 500 travel for last night's game. In terms of making travelling distances for the majority of support as even as possible, Perth would seem the obvious choice. Would be happier with that than with somewhere like Airdrie, where we played in '99, or Livingston, which is a pain in the arse to get to by public transport. The crowd for the 2003 final was over five thousand, and I seem to remember numbers being pretty evenly split, but I can't see us taking two and half thousand this time. Hopefully upwards of a thousand though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Berk Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Game over. I hope Crusaders dont get a drubbing. But with the heavy pitch and part time they're likely to lose another couple as they tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howlin' Wilf Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 St Mirren? Undoubtedly favouring the Sons but the right size for even .the biggest crowd likely to attend and not all that further than Stirling for Inverness fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I'd be happy with Forthbank. Tidy ground and some decent pubs in Stirling for pre-match. Wonder if 3,800 might be considered just a little too tight, though? Assume the SPFL would be hoping for a slightly bigger crowd than that, although whether they'll get it is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a near sold out Forthbank is surely a better option than McDiarmid even if it risks a few people missing out in the unlikely event more than 3800 people are interested.

The football authorities force Scottish teams to play each other about 20 times a season. Then to freshen it up, import teams from other countries to a Scottish cup competition. Get them to fu<k.
