Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I notice Kyle Prior hasn't even been on the bench for BSC Glasgow in recent weeks. Does anyone know if he is injured or just not making it into the squad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Am I right in saying that, if the Morton SC game is a draw, the replay will be played on Tuesday 13/2? I'm writing a wee thing about our potential fixture backlog and, if that happens, we will have 6 games in 17 days: Morton (A) - SC (10/2) Morton (H) - SCR (13/2) TNS (A) - CC (17/2) Morton (H) - L (20/2) Falkirk (A) - L (24/2) ICT (H) - L (27/2) Even without a replay there are some massive games in there in really quick succession. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedrick1 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Replays are often held in the following week which would mean taking place of league game . We’ve still got the dun u and Morton away games to fit in too so pile up likely to continue into March 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be Saturday/Tuesday right into the middle of the March with Brechin/Morton and United. I'd like to think that common sense would dictate that the Morton replay (if it happens) would just be moved to the immediate Tuesday. The travelling distance between the clubs isn't an issue, and given we train on a Tuesday anyway I can't see it being an issue with players and their employment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel wickson Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Being serious it does seem a bit odd to arrange a game for the Tuesday following a long trip back on the Saturday night/Sunday morning Maybe we need a home game sooner than later, for cash-flow? Pure speculation on my part. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont think so...we will get cash from the cup game vs morton.Arguably that will be more than a home game for us.Would expect a crowd of about 2000 at cappielow for that game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottylintonstowel Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 interesting to note that despite still being involved in two cups in February that Dumbartons average league attendance is only 923. In fact if you add in home games in the various cups the average plummets to 772. If you assume that the average away league attendance is at least 300 it shows that Dumbarton on a good day are attracting only 600 home supporters. Hopefully any fans coming out of the woodwork for the trip to Oswestry stick with us for the rest of the season. Our proposed 4000 seater new stadium is gone to feel lonely if only 500 or so turn up each week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be quite a few coming out of the woodwork for Oswestry, and that can be explained in one word - novelty. And I don't blame any of them; the idiotic divisions of 10 clubs playing each other 4 times per season has led to sterility, with clubs reduced to diehards only.Factor in the OTT cost of watching Dumbarton matches, home and away, and it's not hard to see Oswestry as a worthwhile adventure for many folk who used to be regulars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boghead ranter Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 If anyone fancies getting into the Falkirk game on 24th Feb for free (and a free pie at HT), might be worth registering for this https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kelpies-to-kick-off-walks-saturday-24-february-2018-130pm-tickets-42355576670 142 free tickets remaining! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 We took 1000? To Aberdeen did we not a few years ago. The fans are there for the novelty factor and for the opportunity to say "I was there when the sons....." as mentioned but getting these people to fork out £20 to come watch us in the town is a different story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Parr Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Just shy of 700 at Aberdeen. Just shy of 1500 at Celtic. But I note the general point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
