10menwent2mow Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Potentially 11 of the last 16 from the Premiership. Guaranteed two league 1 sides of lower through though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our record there in the Scottish cup is excellent...P8, W5 D2. L1. Have been to 3 of the wins, Fraser Campbell's goal in the 1-0 in 1985, Kean and Murray 2-0 in 2005 and Dargo double 2-1 in 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds are Forever Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 1 hour ago, FairWeatherFan said: Which would be a lot for the majority of sides in the competition. Scottish Cup games usually have a higher ticket price, bring in a bigger crowd both for the gate and hospitality, and usually aren't on the season ticket. More money = more money. Not everyone is pocketing tens of thousands of pounds for simply existing in the SPFL. I know, that's why I highlighted it, but my point was that is the exception. It's incredibly unlikely that you'd get that draw so you have to weigh up whether a more typical draw makes the replays worth it. I don't really understand your second paragraph. Firstly what you say is not true as a rule. In the early rounds Scottish Cup gates are normally lower gates when involving SPFL sides, because they aren't on the season ticket. And a result clubs often lower their prices to get fans in. Anyway, my point is that actually participating in these games can cost thousands of pounds when you factor in all the costs, so simply saying that more games will equal more money is way too simplistic when the gates are a few hundred. As an example from the last round Dalbeattie had a replay against Rothes which is a 10 hour round trip to play in front of 194 people. I've little doubt that they'll have made a loss from that replay once you add in all the expenses of an extra game that far away. That's a pretty typical scenario for a 1st or 2nd round replay. The chances of a higher earning replay increase into the 3rd round but as mentioned the likelihood is of a crowd of a few hundred and that any profit will be minimal. I'm not strongly for or against replays, my only strong view is that it should be consistent through the tournament. But I'm not really convinced that the ability for lower league clubs to get a replay before the 4th round is particularly important financially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Its a challenging one for us, we’ve built up some momentum i just hope we keep going. For us to get through against Annan and reach the last 16 would be incredible. Whatever happens im completely proud to be a bankie! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One saving grace it that it's an artificial grass surface. We might be able to get a passing game going depending on the quality of said surface. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morley Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Quite possible there could be 3 out of 5 non league sides get through to the last 16. Add more pressure on the spfl to open up to the pyramid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Drifter Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 (edited) 3 hours ago, HibeeJibee said: Second: replays upto R3 don't have to be midweek unless both clubs prefer it... e.g. Montrose v Kelty is this Saturday. Host club, not both clubs. Hence the scenario between us and Cove where they wanted a second attempt (whether postponement or replay) on the next saturday and we wanted midweek. SFA backed the host club to decide. Hence rearrange date had saturday been off was next saturday but replay date at Palmerston is the Tuesday.

I think EK and Clydebank both have a great chance. I have seen EK, Clydebank and Annan play this season and neither Peterhead or Annan playing great. Then in order of likelyhood from the other 3, BoD at home could surprise Raith, likewise Darvel/Brechin against Arbroath could surprise especially if Brechin got through the replay and with the added spice of an Angus derby. Talbot least likely but then again they are playing at home with a full house behind them. Edited November 29, 2021 by morley 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
