CALDERON Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Thats almost a perfect draw to be honest. Great day out, enough of a crowd to benefit the club financially, an obvious increase in opposition standard, but not so much as to write off the game. Chuffed with that, I do think there is a bit to work on - but getting through this group represents us doing something we couldnt last season. First step forward. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Good draw. I’m hoping for a Sunday game, otherwise the curse of the birthday party has struck again. 50th this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they’re showing 2 games on Viaplay (I think) and we all know what 2 will be on the telly so it’ll likely be the Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Fond memories of Hibs away. Tremendous day out and we'll take a big crowd through. Can't wait. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAITHROVERS84 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Hearts at home so one of the games will be moved to the Sunday. If Hibs get through in Europe it’s odds on it’ll be our game on the Sunday. Hopefully not as a train and beers on the Saturday would be much preferred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts also in Europe so either allowed to both play at home on the same day (doesn't happen often) or one game moved to the Monday?. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone suggesting that on the thistle tread as well. Saying it’s unlikely both sides will be allowed to play on the Sunday and raising the possibility of one being on the monday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I’m expecting you to arrange that. Either way, decent draw. Edited July 30, 2023 by Scary Bear 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go out in group stages you get the lower amount. Next level up adds £23,000 to the total. Still worth having!

CALDERON Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Well, you would imagine that £23k isnt a million miles away from being able to bring in another body - thats before any gate money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chippyminton Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 (edited) Well done Rovers. So satisfying to watch those cake-eating roasters get dumped out. Very pleasing indeed. Although Ibrox away for us in Round 2 is a honking draw, it's decent money in the bank to bolster our defence, especially if it's televised which brings in another £27k. I can't remember a single round 2 game in living memory which didn't feature an OF club, so we're hoping. And just like you against Hibs, miracles do occasionally happen. See you in the league, we've both got a good chance of making our mark this season Edited July 30, 2023 by Chippyminton 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
