FTFY for the United perspective. I think both sets of fans are accepting of the balance of the tie and that makes it very tough to call (although I still see St.Mirren as slight favourites). Both clubs will fancy their chances on Sunday and rightly so.

Felt like a missed opportunity and one that we will likely regret in the second leg. We seemed to settle for a draw just as much as St.Mirren did towards the end of the second 45. I don’t particularly trust us to see it through on Sunday but that is maybe more me being conditioned to think like that based on the last few seasons. Either team could win it and there’s not a huge difference between the sides but I would have St.Mirren favourites to win the tie given home advantage. Great to see Tannadice so full (given it is a rare occurrence).

I think that Dundee have shown this season that budget doesn’t always equate to success, with disastrous consequences.

You mean like every other club on the planet that has fans who only go to bigger games? Shock.

Good for you. I was in the middle of all of that.

Yeah I'm not sure but I think it is possibly both. Probably about 10,000 United fans in total by kick-off, which is fantastic.

The club have announced over 11,000 tickets now sold for tonight.

The crescendo tomorrow night will be so loud that even teams in League One will hear it.

I think both St.Mirren and United have made big mistakes in the past few days regarding tickets (they have also made errors that have affected each other). It is a real pity that this has taken a little bit of the excitement away and from a personal point of view it is disappointing that I have missed out, as a supporter who has been to 80-90% of all away games this season (Cups included). I don't claim to be a super fan or anything but in this day and age it is really poor form that a regular supporter who isn't affiliated with any fans group or supporters club can miss out on a ticket in these circumstances. I fully understand that out of 4000+ ST holders you would have 2500 missing out but it is the process rather than the allocation that has disappointed me the most. It is what it is and I am glad the club have apologised and will make efforts to somehow improve things moving forward. I hope that all the fans who did get tickets for Sunday do the club proud and I will have to settle for cheering the team on at home.

It is on the official site. Over 7000.

Is that not the number being quoted for your allocation at the moment? I'm sure it could be the nearer 1800-2000 mark but think we have only allocated you 1200.

United have confirmed that over 7000 tickets have already been sold for Thursday. Add in 1200 St.Mirren fans and hopefully another 1000 from us it is heading for a brilliant crowd.

The schedule is only a disadvantage to the 3rd and 4th placed teams in Championship. Personally I would like 11th v 4th, 2nd v 3rd and then a winner takes all neutral final.

I was more nervous about the game against Inverness and I am fairly relaxed, but not particularly confident, about the next seven days. Having watched St.Mirren twice recently I think that they have a decent amount going forward and although we have improved at the back I am still worried about a typical United moment or two of madness in defence. St.Mirren also have a galvanised set of fans and the atmosphere at the club seems to be generally very positive at the moment (psychologically I would have rather had played Hamilton) It will be great to have two games with a big crowd and both sets of fans will create a great atmosphere over the two legs. We are under less pressure financially than we have been and the mood at the club is positive enough that if we didn't get promoted it wouldn't be as disastrous as it could have been if Ogren hadn't taken over. We would also have the neutrals ideal scenario of the Dundee teams being in the same league next season. Genuinely cannot call this.
