Our ground is perfectly safe for a capacity crowd to watch football, games only get moved if police think it's required to control crowds and given we've already had the displeasure of hosting this mob before then I doubt the police will care. It would be good if we didn't sell swathes of home end tickets to clear Rangers Supporter groups like we did last time but I'll probably give it a miss in any case. I fully agree, but unfortunately I don’t see how we prevent selling tickets to rangers fans. Unless we limit sales to season ticket holders only and they can purchase a certain number each then it will be a free for all and the hoardes of wee fannies will be in our end with their balaclavas and flares 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Selling home end tickets to ST holders would be the only way to do it imo. That way if some wee fanny kicks off then it will be traceable to a ST holder. I've got pals who are Rangers fans who I'd buy a ticket for if they want one. I also have pals who are Rangers fans who I wouldn't buy a ticket for because I wouldn't want them in our end. If I win the lottery however I will bulk buy the entire home end and personally decide who gets in and who doesn't 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys up next to us were being patronising and condescending fannies and it's not an experience I would pay for again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Amusingly, the new Football Manager thinks we pay Michael Ruth £600/week. Obviously nonsense, but got me wondering what our highest earner will be. I'd be surprised if anyone was even on £600 in the Championship days? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorenzo71 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The draw is hardly perfect and I think it would have been better if the game was away for the same reasons outlined above.However for sporting integrity I would be against switching the tie or playing at a neutral venue.If its at home its at home end of. The real problem though is we will not earn what we should as the costs of putting the game on with stewarding and policing would erode our cut of the gate.Im guessing we could earfn about 20k in gate receipts but im guessing the stewarding would devour that.Best scenario would be if the police decide the tie should be switched and we pocket a few more quid.Realistically we are not progressing anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WC Boggs Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Sweet Pete and Moonster got me thinking maybe I had got it seriously wrong over how much Stirling got from playing Rangers away in the Scottish cup. So I checked and............they were absolutely right! I was waaaaaaaay out. 230k total. Nowhere near the crap I came out with. If you get it wrong own it. Fire away, I've got it coming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be delighted if we were able to earn £230,000 from this upcoming Cup tie, sadly it'll be a fraction of that amount, can only hope it's on tv for some extra £££ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FifeSons Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Thinking about it, the Sevco game really should be moved. No chance the club can enforce proper segregation, and that should be a police concern. No one should be forced to sit next to those mutants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
As Easterly as it gets! Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Sorry to interrupt but, keep your eyes peeled for news on tomorrow's game . It's been a really hard frost here overnight ( it says minus 6 in my motor) and according to the forecast it's unlikely to be any more than a couple of degrees at midday. Another frost overnight may well put paid to the game. Good luck against the inbred in the cup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Am I the only one that thinks chat of moving this Rangers game is mind boggling? Get them down to our shitehole of a stadium, on our coo field of a pitch and make them squirm for an afternoon. I don’t remotely expect us to get a result but if we do have any chance of doing it then it wont be by switching it to Ibrox. The draw is what it is. The thought of making those c***s happy by switching it also churns my stomach. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, we coped fine in The Championship hosting Hibs, Hearts, Rangers, Dundee Utd, even when we put 4 past Hamilton Accies & Alex Neil's heads gone moment we coped. Some amount of knicker wetting going on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should have been around when we played them at Boghead. 16,000 in the ground, the vast majority Rangers fans, and we still managed to change ends at half time. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Actually, I'm warming to the prospect of a borderline playable pitch, a very narrow one at that, in late January, and watching the twinkling toes of Sam Lammers and Todd Cantplay. Not to mention Matty Shields introducing the Kyles of McCausland to fitba as it is played in the real world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
