Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I think a 7.45pm Saturday night kick off sounds like a potentially decent night out. It’s frustrating for folk who can’t attend but I’m not sure I get the outrage around it. There’s probably more folk who wouldn’t be able to make a 3pm kick off due to work etc than one at 7.45pm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying anything about fans not being entitled to voice there opinion . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if the Hamilton game goes to penalties, it's that short turn around for staff at Hamilton and players from Dumbarton and Clyde, not to mention the four sets of supporters being around the same area at the same time. It's a farce and it's not the first time a team has been forced to play at a neutral venue. It's far from a farce. It's not even that far a trek, ok maybe if we were away up to Cove or wick for a 745pm then maybe there would be a small case. It's a minor inconvenience for a small number of people. Can't just force a club to up sticks and move just because a couple folk on a football forum don't like it! Go make it a night out, have a few beers, watch some football, have more beer and go home! Our fan base love a moan. We can add this to the list of weird things we are greeting about currently. I'm gonna stay far away from the FB page for this one!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sons Fan Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I am actually looking forward to the Clyde game. A Saturday night is something different and not far away to travel. plenty of other stadiums have had 2 games in a day so not really bothered about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t make the Cumnock game because it was a Friday night and now I can’t make the Clyde game because it has been arranged for the Saturday night. The Scottish Cup is a big part of our season and to miss both games is pretty annoying. What I don’t get is the suggestion that no other time is available. Are Clyde saying that if they have a home league game postponed they won’t be able to rearrange it? Because that couldn’t be on a Saturday night 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that couldn’t be on a Saturday night If Clyde had a league game postponed they'd rearrange it for a suitable midweek, as all clubs do. Would you rather it was played midweek? We do seem to go a bit mental as a fanbase when anything other than 3pm on a Saturday comes up. By all accounts we took a good number to Cumnock and I'd be surprised if a Saturday night puts off a significant number of people attending this one. I normally have to head down to Irvine on a Saturday afternoon these days but with an evening kick off I've got a chance to make this one, I'm sure plenty others will be the same, certainly anyone who works a Saturday shift might be better off here. Annoying for some who can't make it but ultimately it's one game against an opposition we've played 8 times over the last two seasons, playing Clyde at Hamilton isn't screaming "magic of the cup" to me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't make 7.45 and would have gone if it was a 3pm kick-off but can appreciate this must have been the best option available to get the game played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC Boggs Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I think that lost in opinions given on an unusual kick off time, is the most important question for the club. Is the tie winnable for Dumbarton? I think it is, if a reasonably full squad is available on the day. Who knows, possibly strengthened by new signings or loans? It's not a great draw, but it's not beyond Dumbarton to get through to the next round. I'd have preferred that as a draw to ours away to ICT despite the the kick off time. We did pull off a penalties win there in the league cup, but getting the best of that tie twice is a hell of a big ask. Count your blessings sons, rather your job than ours. You can do it and hope for a big money tie to follow, but you don't have to like the kick off time for the task. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've only been going since 1945 and that largely by courtesy of the Luftwaffe blowing big bomb holes in Kings Park FCs pitch. Maybe we should adopt this for an anthem. Then again probably better not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll make more of a thing of it on the Saturday though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 I would’ve probably have preferred the Friday night personally but nae issue either way. If that’s the anniversary weekend then I’m assuming the club have something planned that’s easier to set up/organise for the Saturday than it is the Friday evening. My prediction? Match postponed, everything ruined, organised for a miserable midweek in January. Merry Christmas! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
