Not such a great loss, if any, we get cash for getting to the semi final plus a share of the tv money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer, it'd have been better if we'd been away from home as it will seriously impinge on the gate and corporate hospitality incomes in what would otherwise have been a potentially lucrative top of the table clash. I'll be at Firhill (unless I'm working) and would urge everyone to do the same but hopefully the Raith Suite will be open for those that cannot make it through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss of a number of tickets and hospitality versus a handful of magic beans from BBC, a big loss. As others have noted, if this was an away feature, it wouldn’t be nearly so bad. Combine lost home weekend match with a weeknight time In place of a normal Saturday daytime game against, possibly, our top rival for promotion...it’s a big loss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBC Alba money is pooled into the sponsors pot and distributed as part of the prize money as far as I'm lead to believe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottydog Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Going out at the semi final stage means a cheque for £20k, Doesn't really make up for losing hospitality (£3k) and an enhanced gate (take 300 off the gate at at an average £10/head) and there's £6000 that we could have had as well if the tie had just fallen a week earlier. Thats twice in this poxy cup where we have lost out through being at home and had to play midweek to a smaller crowd and reduced or cancelled hospitality. Add the lost revenue for both Forfar and Falkirk and there's not a lot of cash to show as a profit if we bomb out at Firhill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
