I think the prize money is the one and only reason it's tolerated. it's a pointless waste of time otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 What was the crowd .sparse according to the evening times Be surprised if it was much over 250. Edit: Just asked our Treasurer who said he thinks it was 245. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicotina Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 so i was spot on with the crowd in my pre forecast estimate see my other post on the crowd size said i & other 5 neutrals would have gone but not to a ground with no cover /plastic and spain v portugal but the beith supporter thought they would take excess of that plus the petershill support lives in cloud cuckoo land no neutral would go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tutankhamen Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Went to a game Friday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday. Last night was one game too much. Couple of weeks off before the bounce games start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But is you're point? This season there were several games too much for many teams! Beith have a small support, generally, but were certainly in the majority last night and also trying to create some atmosphere against the constant din of the motorway traffic! All teams follow the money and thanks to the Evening Times for sponsoring the cup. But it was a game too far for fans! As for the weather....it was dry last night, and there was more fans at Wedensday's Hurlford game in dredful weather conditions. However, how a park in Scotland can have no cover...??

juventus Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Playing 4 times a week near enough over the last 2 weeks has probably cost our most die hard fans the best part of £150 if you take everything in to consideration. For most it was one game too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbrae Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 People of Beith and surrounding area, need to get out there and support you're local team...like Talbot fans! It's seems that half our support come from out of the town, and there seems to be an lethergy for going to Beith games. Where's the 3000 fans now from the 2016 cup final? There's hardly 10% of that total even attend BIG games!! Don't think the world cup made a big impact last night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peasy23 Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 As one of the Beith guys I know said, it was an expensive couple of weeks to be a Beith fan if you were paying full whack to get in plus travel costs. 7 games since June 2nd with 2 of them finals at £8 each. The biggest problem last night was the game on TV, one of the biggest ties of the opening stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the plea for the external fans to turn out for Beith but the difference between them and Talbot is we have the fanbase that grow up with Talbot in their blood. You just have to look towards Wullie Lyle and Shankland whose family members played and supported the team. Families and traditions throughout the years with linked connections where as Beith is a small town which is close to Glasgow. As much as Beith is a good club they will never match the gravitation of The Talbot. EPPP [emoji4][emoji106] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbrae Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Peasy23. To be honest...there were less Beith fans than Hurlford at Wednesdays game with no world cup! Money is an issue...I accept that! But this year could have been or is or most successful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 7 games in 13 days you can’t ask people to go to them all plus dates getting changed 3 away games in 7 days plus a home semi final is a lot for any support this is the best away support we have had in 30 yrs we had a decent one late 80s early 90s until talbot nicked our manager n half our team ????????????
