Change of plans, heading to this instead of Lochee vs Ayr.
Prices anyone? And any comment form either set of supporters

£15 I'm afraid.
Sadly, my amateur team have a free week so I'll be going along as well

15 squid to get in but I'm really looking forward to this one. Always fun in the sun at Stirling.

It's on the season ticket, and Thistle normally bring a large, noisy support, so it should be slightly less yawn inducing than every other game at Forthbank this season.

For a club so tight when it comes to kids prices thats a bit of a surprise surely or was the cost already factored in before the season began? Baring in mind gates are split your losing money on that if it wasnt budgeted for.

For as long as I've watched the Albion, all home cup ties have always been on the season ticket.

Is it cheaper for students to get in the Stirling end, like it was for the league game last year? Might head in that end and pretend I thought it was the Thistle end again.

There will be plenty of room in that end, you might even get a whole row to yourself.

Last time around your suggestion to go in the Stirling end, because it was cheaper, saved me £2. I'll never forget it/you

I've not been able to sleep for days in anticipation of this thriller in the making.
Remember folks it's £10 for a concession entry.

I'm looking forward to this one. We should bring a big crowd and fill the stand. 2-1 Thistle.

I'm looking forward to this as the cup is almost certainly our last chance of excitement this season. We won't go up and unless we make a king-sized arse of it, we won't go down so tomorrow is huge.

No doubt I'll be wrong but I would say that the game will go ahead if the temperature struggles up a few more degrees.
It is still frosty but I've seen worse at this time in the morning and games going ahead.
At least with the minimal travel time involved we can expect a decision to be left until much later on.

The temperaure is currently hovering just below freezing at forthbank.
The
Stirling Albion Official Website team will be having a look at the pitch in an hour or so this morning and will post our thoughts and any further news on our official website.
The frost is on the surface in gardens here in stirling but the ground underneath is soft.

As i posted earlier - the game is ON
Im just back from a walk on the pitch and it is soft underneath with a just a white layering of frost on the top.
No fog and temperature of about 1.5.
what the weather conditions will be between 3pm-5pm is in the lap of the gods but the pitch is fine.

Not according to Stirling Albion FC:
QUOTE
Students admission is only for Stirling Albion support via turnstile 4 in the West Stand. This means that Stirling Albion supporting students are admitted at concession rates via turnstile 4 regardless of the attending University. I hope this clears the matter up once and for all.

Fair enough. But I wouldn't be surprised if the away turnstile operators didn't allow the student discount.
