Looking at the Motherwell tickets it looks like we have not given over the lower blocks (the ones if you come out the stairs and go down). I think without the lower section that stand holds about 2500/2600 - so looks like about 2k sold which is great. Hopefully the rest get shifted and they do get to 2500ish.
Harder to tell with our own tickets being more spread out. Doesn't look fantastic at the moment though. Hopefully there are a lot of folks going to sort it out today and before the game.

I thought it might be ok as covers down and not as cold last night as was expected but am told next to no chance of it being on.
Cheers mate, that is a shiter but not a major surprise. Hope the decision is nice an early as a lot of folk (self included) are on pre 10am trains!
I can make it Tuesday but know a few who can't. Will lose the 'magic of the cup' atmosphere of a Saturday game.
Also I love 4g pitches. Games getting cancelled is fucking murder!

Looking at the forecast, doesn't look like the lows will get above freezing until Saturday. Grass all round me at the moment has been frozen solid all week.
Game most likely off, I would imagine? Unless Linlithgow have a good track record of getting games on and their covers work well etc.?

Bored at work and fantasising that its Saturday... It got me thinking about Rovers song roster. It's fair to say that with the departure and muddying of JMcG, we lost what was a defining song over the last few years.
It would be good to get a song about Ian Murray. And get a song about Micky Cameron as well. Any suggestions? Hopefully the young team or anyone else can come up with something good!
Also, having not been able to get the Lyndon Dykes song out of my head for weeks after the big man done the double against Ukraine at Hampden ('ooow baby do you know what that's worth, Lyndon Dykes is the best on earth, he's from Australia, who gives a f**k, he's gonay win us the Wolrd Cup')', my brain is now constantly playing this is my head:
Ooow baby do you know what that's worth?
Lewis Vaughan is the best on earth
He slayed the Townies, in the cup
He's gonay take the Rovers up
f**k sake is it not Saturday yet?

A shame the ticket nonsense (pricing and hoops) will inevitably take a bit of the away crowd.
Got my ticket though and really looking forward to it. What pubs are the Rovers fans thinking about pre game?

A stop past Cartsdyke is Greenock Central, so you’ll be close to The James Watt, The Lighthouse, Tail O’ The Bank or The Old Bank, which would be my preference.

Either way, you'll be able to get a train back to Cartsdyke at 44/46 minutes past from West/Central.
Cheers folks, really good of you and really helpful. Always like sampling the Norseman but fancied something different for a few hours first - these options all look ideal!

Thinking about staying on a stop past Cartsdyke and sampling Greenock for a few pints before the game (probably half watching whatever offering is being served up by THE GREATEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD). Any Ton ladies or gents got any recommendations? Cheers!

Can any 'home' fans help... Does the Ochilview Bar do food?
Cheers!

Thank f**k.
I've been going to games after he was effectively banned from playing, but withdrew all my other financial contributions (including the supporters fund). I'll be starting that up again now.

Love a trip to Ochilview and been looking forward to this fixture. Terracing is great and nice set up for an Away day.
The Station Hotel Bar is worth a visit if your coming by train.
I had a drink in the Crown once and it was fine enough and had a pool table (quiet though), can't speak for the Plough. The bar behind the away end (the Ochilview) is ideal location-wise and has previously had the best atmosphere before the game.
For those needing post game carry outs, google is telling me the best bet is a Nisa that is five minutes further along from Larbert station. If anyone knows of an off licence between the ground and the station, do share!
Wrong! Looks like there is a Londis next to the Plough.
Also on the Plough, the images on google show plenty of flute playing and rangers'y events. I certainly shan't be spending my money there, would hope others will also avoid like the plague!

Apologies for the daft question, but want to avoid a mare - to confirm, it’s the same tickets that were originally issued (The ones with the March date)? Cheers!

Tried about 8 times and still not accepting any of my cards. Absolutely joke.

Also doing this to me. Have you folks found a solution?
Edit: Worked on the 23rd try across 4 different cards. Joke! Seems to be a lot of folk struggling looking at the twitter thread on tickets.

Do friendlies/this game count towards loyalty points, does anyone know?

Raith Rovers v Motherwell (Scottish Cup Round 5)
in Domestic Cup Football

I’ve got through from Glasgow to Kirkcaldy this morning on the train. Edinburgh was where the problems started for me. Lots of cancellations and the ones running are running about 20 mins late.
Problem is the bridge apparently. They are only using one side of it because a track issue on the other side). So trains being let across one at a time. This will be the situation all day according to the guard.
