Just a bairn Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) Would have preferred Raith or ICT but it’s still one of the better ties we could have hoped for. This Darvel love-in is absolutely excruciating now though. Hope we can finish it this evening.

GunnerBairn Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 If we get through the next two games, then what an incredible turnaround that would be for the club. Nonemoreso the much needed cash that would bring. Great draw and finally at home. Darvel first though....... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodwall cat Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Best chance of getting a result but apart from ICT the worst for making a few bob out the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never has there been such a divide between the fans and player/management in my time in his last season. If there was a cash cow of ugly sisters away, the player bonus to reach that cash cow may have been increased especially in Darvels case. We now have a quarter final game that will sell out whatever tonight's result and on TV. Do you really think Falkirk v Ayr will sell out at TFS? Ayr have never brought many up at any previous game. I'd be shocked if they brought nearly 2000. That's basically they're entire home support these days.

Ayr’s average attendance is around 2000 so I’d expect an away support of closer to 1000 is more likely. Got a massive game in under 2 hours before we even start thinking about Ayr though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebobsboy Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 The thing that's giving me the fear about tonight is the narrow pitch, we definitely carry more of a threat with Kennedy and Morrison wide my concern is there won't be the space for them to impact the game as much as we would like. So then do you go two up front like we did against Alloa which didn't work mostly because the midfield wasn't at it n we started shelling long balls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon we'd be lucky to get 5000 at this game. Edited February 13, 2023 by Shodwall cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalWolf Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I would almost rather the draw was after the final whistle tonight to see whether it matters to us or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 There's a concern over width maybe, but we need to retain and move the ball, be patient. These guys are part timers and we have worked better part timers into the ground this season. Be patient, make then run, make them work for everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we take the recent Kelty matchfor comparison. McGlynn persevered with Morrison and Kennedy on the wings for 60 mins, on their narrow pitch, before making the treble subs Allan, Burrell and Wright. Two of them scoring. I’ll take that as a good omen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I suggested 1000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also should have been beaten comprehensively by a mid table L2 team at home on Saturday before a fortuitous 90th minute equaliser and crumbling legs in ET saw them through. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroMoutinho Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Clearly as good an opportunity as we’re going to get for a trip to hampden. However, we have a big game to navigate tonight first. I would expect a crowd of 3000-3500 at a quarter final against Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Aye will take close to 2000 to a quarter final. We would hit near 5k. Massive opportunity 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massive opportunity Really can’t see it- by comparison we took less than 700 to our quarter final against queen of the south in 2015. I wouldn’t expect us to have more than around 3000 either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be far off selling out, comparing league crowds to cup crowds in the latter stages is silly. Ayr like many clubs crowds have doubled tripled quadrupled in cup games, see Darvel tonight and Partick v Rangers sure they took 2000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not on the season ticket so it's always a bit more of a struggle and it's probably on the TV too. 3500 to 4000 is probably the likely crowd . Last time we played them in the cup there was 1800 there I think. Edited February 13, 2023 by Shodwall cat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
