SirJimmyofNic Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Fantastic result for you guys last night, and I bet a much welcome boost to your finances even more so if you can somehow make it to the final 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your keeper had a brilliant game making some crucial stops and, worthy winners in my opinion. Hope you go on ,and beat Caley and show the pundits and football fraternity that there ARE some good teams in the lower leagues. I have no idea why you play so terribly badly against us..it's most bizarre. Anyway good luck at Hampden and enjoy your day out We may have given you a better game if we'd started with a similar team to last night to be honest. We looked far more assured at set pieces with Mackay and Henderson on the park than we did last Tuesday. Not sure why certainly Henderson didn't start that game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 If you were staying at the Inchyra last night and had the “do not disturb” sign on handle, hope you enjoyed the night. In between the ohs & ahs, Tony Christies Amarillo was on repeat until about 05.00am…… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that they will run like previous years ie start the midweek immediately after the final fixtures therefore...... Semis on 9/10 & 13/14 May (we'll be Away 1st if we finish 2nd) Final on 16/17 and 20/21 May (we'll be home 1st if we get through and play Championship 9th place - vice versa if its the team that finished 4th in L1) I see Arbroath's last two home games are Cove (34th game) then Hamilton on the final day. My only playoff wish is that Airdrie don't feature Following on from these dates, getting the diary sorted out: Scottish Cup Semi-Final 29/30 April, most likely will be the Saturday for the BBC, Viaplay will want the Filth for Sunday Scottish Cup Final 3rd June Edited March 14, 2023 by superandy_07 Wrong date 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also another bonus avoiding the Old Firm making the final a real possibility, good luck to you guys. How much money will you have netted from this cup run so far and how much will be added if you make the final? You get your prize money when you exit the competition. If falkirk lose in the semi they will get 177k and 60k in TV money plua 24k for each of the two games that was on tv from darvel and Ayr but they will have gate splits from throughout the competition to add on Edited March 14, 2023 by searchers1963 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henderson had been unwell and had a series of knocks in recent matches which made it easy to start wee Max against the Pars. To be fair, no one really questioned it at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day out in Glasgow will be incredible. Everyone on the earliest train aren't we? The display came off better than we had imagined, so pleased about that. Time for revenge against ICT, then one of the arsecheeks in the final (Preferably Rangers, serial bottlers). We couldn't, could we?

Harry Kinnear Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I agree Tynecastle would probably be a better venue from a fans/atmosphere perspective, but I don’t think you would get many of the players agreeing. For some this will probably represent their only chance ever to play at the national stadium. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) 16 minutes ago, RC55 FFC said: Has to be Hampden for me Agreed. As HK said its not just about the fans, its about the players, and their families, this might be the only chance that many get to play at Hampden. Even McGinn was saying in his post match interview he didn't expect to play there again when he joined 3rd tier Falkirk. I will probably bring along people to the game that wouldnt go to Tynecastle but will because its hampden. Re the 1/4 split of the gate receipts, if its 50,000 fans plus 10,000 x £20 per head (very conservative) that's £300,000 just in quarter final gate receipts alone. And that's assuming we go out at the semi. Has anyone done the full maths on what this means for totals this year re the cup run, (total prize monies, TV money, gate receipts etc) its really adding up. In addition isn't there un accounted revenue as a result of big gates in the play offs? Would be interesting to see the numbers versus the £400K starting gap next year, I assume its closed already and way exceeded?
