Started last week by the wee Talbot Fuds unfortunately.

For me Darvel controlled the game till the Talbot goal and then hung on for the rest of the game, for the village it’s a great achievement, I’m home telling my two boys about the last Junior Cup Final we were in and how proud their grandpa would be about getting to the final, great to see some old Darvel players there tonight that I’ve not seen for twenty plus years, thats what this cup means to traditional Junior teams.

The non sharing of gate money has been going on since my dad was the treasurer of the club back in the early 80’s, it used to be very prevalent especially when the the smaller Ayrshire teams travelled to Glasgow in the Scottish or the West, you basically got what you got and if you didn’t like it tough.

Is that because if you win the league you could potentially go into the Lowland League? From a Darvel perspective if you had to ask me I’d go with the cup as well.

Including neutrals probably,be interesting to see what tickets Talbot get/ ask for.

If it’s close after the first leg will talbot bring 600-700?

About 2,200

I would agree with you that the style of play this year has been an easier watch with the ball getting into forward areas quicker, Micks philosophy is great but at times the ball is passed to death, don’t get me wrong it’s great to watch when there is an end product but I’ve been used to “ Junior “ football and it’s all about getting the ball forward. Talbot are the masters at it.

That’s up to the club to encourage folk to go, it’s not up to fellow supporters to discourage, I don’t go to any away games and I’m probably only at half the home games, can I come to the talbot games?

So you don’t want the people from the village to go and watch the team? Are you for real?

The second leg doon the brae will be a sell-out if the first leg is close, Friday night fitba is great although it will be hard to beat the atmosphere I remember as an 11. And 12 year old at Love Street and Brockville in the 80’s midweek.

Of that there is no doubt

I can’t see anyone benefitting financially when John goes.

One of the old guard from Neil McPhersons time.

You were asked if you knew all the players in the photo that used to be on your profile, you were also asked the last time you were at an agm, no replies from these two questions.
