Easiest draw we could’ve got although Cove won’t be easy to get past. Clearly Cove fans thinking the same. Tough game against Ayr albeit we have home advantage We're currently going through a mini rebuild with new managers and signings, which isn't ideal, but the winner of this tie will be strong favourites for advancing to a QF tie. Dreamland for Cove if we reach that stage. Hartley was in the paper saying a strong cup run would cement our desire to go FT (I presume hybrid), possible for next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Thistle getting Rangers might up their transfer budget Good draw, albeit a sticky one. Pollock made it hard for us so if we get through against Cove, it’s not a foregone conclusion we’ll get through 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyrAtlanta Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Last time we got a dream run to the quarters we had to go to penalties against Queen’s Park and ET against Clyde so I’m going in expecting nothing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rb123! Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Massive opportunity to get to Quarter Finals if we beat Cove which will be a disaster if we don't Downside is it means no extra cash for signings... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's a fantastic incentive for both clubs. It doesn't matter who either club signs now since they won't be eligible to play but how many injuries clear up will be significant. How many regular starters are out for Cove at the moment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb123! Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 If we progressed and by some miracle Drumchapel beat Elgin that's a cert for BBC moving to a Monday night like Pollok game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only if we make a mess of the next two games… realistically it gives us a chance of a bigger payday and only being one more decent draw away from a day out at Hampden. What a draw and opportunity it is IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North British 2 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 £125k if you reach the quarters . Plus pretty much certain to run into a Premier side , unless Queens and get through inverness and Livingston . Need to grow up and own these two teams . We have the better players . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Shay Logan and Fraser Fyvie out currently. Mitch was carrying a slight knock but played the last 25 minutes against Raith. Expect all to be available for the 31st. We'll have Scott Fox and Tony Weston available as they signed before yesterday. We're still likely to sign 2/3 more but like you say ineligible for 31st. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's big money, for us certainly. A lot to play for in the upcoming tie on 31st. I expect QP or Caley to really challenge Livi. Raith, assuming they will be far too strong for Linlithgow, won't fear Motherwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How convenient… Not to worry , our task is simple over the next two weeks or so , get a couple of players in , go up north on Friday , smash a former Highland League team if they can get the game played , go back up on Tuesday and smash them again , then travel to play former amateur team at another ground (not theirs) and smash them also. Footnote none of them have beaten us in two attempts . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full time team that possibly owns a ground sheet for the pitch? Amateur stuff right there. Desired right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
