Bonnyrigg vs buckle on tv

Hope lights are bright enough :whistle

Great news for the Rose. NDP be bouncing that night.

On a side note spare a thought for the Buckie Thistle fans trekking doon,taking half days of work for a Friday night match. Scottish Cup Saturdays especially away days can be the best days oot of the season 🤔

It’s ok, heard they taking about 40,000 to away days normally so should easily sell out their allocation :whistle

Deveronvale 1-2 Spartans

Late winner and deserved one you feel given ties unusual and disruptive circumstance.

Despite some critical reception to R1 results there are actually as many LL clubs in R2 as HL clubs: 8.

Great result away up there on a Monday night well done Spartans.

Strong results so far... Bonnyrigg beat HL leaders Buckie 2-0 last night; BSCG and Gala bring replays back home next weekend (Gala will be disappointed not to have won given they led twice); East Kilbride do the job over Gretna much as expected.

Much as expected Berwick and Spartans didn't have enough at Elgin or home to Queen's Park.

From the level below Broxburn earnt a draw at Cowdenbeath.

So we had nearly 1,700 at Bonnyrigg, around 1,500? at Kelty for the Talbot match, yet Talbot only had 750 yesterday against Cove Rangers. There's been a lot of chirping about LL crowds from Ayrshire recently, hopefully this settles them down a bit.

Nearly 1700 at Kelty, 1667

Game at Kelty had no other matches on nearby and same with Bonnyrigg (apart from 394 attendance at E Sirling v Kelty). Yesterday saw games all over Ayrshire five out of the seven West Premiership games alone were played in the county. Throw in the fact that Kilmarnock were playing at home, not much scope for neutrals.  

And the main factor which is the Cove support came down on a tandem

Also quite ironic that one of the games he chose to belittle Talbot includes a very large away support from Talbot

I'm sure they were all factors of varying degrees, but it shows that some clubs in the LL have pulling power. Some of Talbot's FB page contributors have ran down the LL for months, sticking the boot in over crowds. Good to compare and contrast. Would Talbot v Cove on a Friday breach 1,000? Debatable.

400 Talbot out of 1,700 still leaves a crowd of 1,300. Buckie 'only' 200 on Friday, leaving a crowd of 1,500.

Over 400 Broxburn at Cowdenbeath yesterday.

Hopefully we get a league structure soon where Talbot will be expected to progress up to a level where they lose more often than they win. Then we'll have a clearer picture of what their support is like when there is a lot less scope for glory hunting.

Over 2,000 at Bonnyrigg today, and Penicuik shift well over 1,000 tickets.

Superb result for Bonnyrigg today I'm surprised at the crowd figure though as with no disrespect to Bonnyrigg how did they manage a bigger capacity than the limit Linlithgow Rose were quoted for last night  ? Looks to me like Linlithgow could've squeezed a lot more in as well  ?

Bonnyrigg's licensed capacity is 2,640. The capacity is reduced by the amount lost by reserving sections for away fans and club officials, as well as any other safety issues such as playing under floodlights.  They also lost capacity to the requirements of TV platforms in the previous round.
