Your never getting fans to come out and support this competition apart from the final. I was actually quite surprised how busy the main stand looked. Legends was pretty much as busy as normal, but yes fans generally aren’t that interested in the challenge cup. Should we get to the final which at the moment I would say is unlikely I would be surprised if there were more than 3000 pars fans there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted Saturday at 23:08 Share Posted Saturday at 23:08 I’m shocked there was even 1800 there considering it’s the Challenge Cup, we’ve been shite for months and it was pissing down. Clearly the club expected a small crowd too, which is why they ran out of bridies (which left fans bizarrely seething?) -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted Saturday at 23:20 Share Posted Saturday at 23:20 (edited) We've never won this cup. We've only been in the final once (2007). We should therefore win it this season. Reckon we'd take a decent number, depending on how the team are doing at the time. In 2007 we took circa 3500 and were ludicrously bad. We went 3-0 at half time and came close to equalising in normal time. As it was, St Johnstone won their first cup and since then have overtaken us in terms of cups won (including winning one we've never won).

Cardle is Magic Posted Saturday at 23:27 Share Posted Saturday at 23:27 I’d maybe go to the QF if we got East Kilbride away just to tick another ground off but a Tuesday night in November against Morton or Livi…I can think of 100 ways I’d rather spend my evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenge Cup ties are largely pointless and even more so when facing teams from your own division. Why a Falkirk fan would possibly care one way or the other is a whole different question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seething is quite a dramatic retelling of me mentioning the counter being out of food 15/20 mins in.

da_no_1 Posted Sunday at 14:05 Share Posted Sunday at 14:05 We sat in the main stand for a change from the Norrie. Much better perspective on the game as a whole obviously. We're still frustrating as f**k to watch tho. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better perspective on the game as a whole obviously. We're still frustrating as f**k to watch tho. You think so? I like being high up in the Norrie - you can really see the shape of both sides, can see where the spaces are and where I sit at least I have a great view. The Main is fine (and arguably the best example of a Main Stand of its age in the country - when you compare it to Morton, Partick, Motherwell, etc there's no contest) but if you sit further back you have the poles and don't get a good view of the near touchline and if you sit at the front it's a bit harder to see the spaces in the old inside forward channels. All IMO of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although the main stand is also a good place to watch the game from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted Sunday at 22:32 Share Posted Sunday at 22:32 I sat right up the back (actually stood most of the game) and really enjoyed it. Yeah there's a pillar or 2 in the road but it just struck me how different a game it is..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted Tuesday at 14:21 Share Posted Tuesday at 14:21 Enjoy higher up in the Norrie for just watching a game but the lack of atmosphere is a bit disheartening. Used to be in the section closest to the NW but there was a loud brain donor up the back who just made every match day an utter chore. One of those guys who thinks he’s really clever but just sounds thick as f**k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
