dee_62 Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 460 Livingston 'B' v Forfar [rearranged]Does the fact that it was free entry not mean there should be some kind of note set against it? I’d hate to give the impression that 460 would actually pay to see that game. Think there was about half that for he original pay at the gate tie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in a “double double” of Whyte and Mackay tanned down at the swing park and you have the classic Saturday.

peternapper Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 Quote In todays paper that our tie against Bohemians is at the mercy of their possible Irish cup tie which is due to be played the same weekend, they play tonight & would be expected to win which means possibly them moving their next round to the Friday & coming over to Peterhead on the Sunday or mid-week which would not suit us or them or they could concede the tie which again though not ideal would highlight what a farce the SPFL has made of this competition 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 The competitions in seasons 93/94, 97/98, 04/05 and 11/12 have gone down in the annals of world football as basically the pinnacle of the sport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Starko Rover Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 That was, admittedly, glorious, but I don't think anyone wants Sevco back in the competition.I don’t know would it not mean they’ve gone tits again and are working their way from the SoSFL? Surely worth the scenes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently we have been trying for a few days to find out when this game is going ahead. Bohemians have just told their support not to make any travel plans. Ridiculous situation again think last year it was Caley that were victims of a similar carry on. As a part time club we would want to keep midweek games down to a minimum as even although this time we are at home given the locations of quite a few players they would need time off work. We will probably go from filling a free Saturday with income from hospitality etc to maybe a Tuesday night or something with obviously less income through no fault of our own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an unfortunate situation, but if it were my team, I'd rather be watching them play Bohemians on a Tuesday night than teams like Annan or Albion Rovers on a Saturday.

Possibly did not have a huge amount of glamour in the past but when it contained lower league Scottish teams it gave those teams a outside chance of winning a senior trophy, it has been downhill since the inclusion of Premier League 2nd teams & others from outside the host nation, now lots of teams that it was designed for do not want anything to do with it, more so supporters of those teams. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowds have always been low for this competition, at least up to the later stages, and fans have always mocked it, so I don't think there's anything new in the idea of some people not liking it. It's the SPFL that run it, which is, in fact, the clubs, so they can always change it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
