HibeeJibee Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Interestingly, the only clubs to have achieved tier 2 doubles are: East Fife (1947-48) - actually a treble as also won League Cup Clyde (1951-52) Falkirk (1993-94 & 2004-05) Inverness (2003-04) St Mirren (2005-06) Queen of the South won tier 3 and the Challenge Cup in 2012-13. Stirling Albion won a tier 3 double in 1946-47, winning C Division and C Division League Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 Interestingly, the only clubs to have achieved tier 2 doubles are: Inverness (2003-04) Our 2nd best ever season after this one IMO. We were briliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Does it stay regionalised all the way up to and including the semis? If so, quite tempted by Falkirk at 16-1 E/W as they don't have to come up against Sevco, Hibs or Clyde before the final. Raith at 20s might be okay too.

tamthebam Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 anyone but the Failed Franchise would be ok. But I'm likely to be on holiday when the game is played so no doubt we'll get Hibs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 This and the League Cup are free on the Rovers Season Ticket this season, so I'll be attending. Hopefully a home tie. Pars or East Fife at Starks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted June 20, 2015 Author Share Posted June 20, 2015 From a Berwick perspective we barely have any players at the moment - so a home tie against the easiest opposition possible would be desirable and given the strength of our region that would be someone like Clyde, Annan or perhaps Edinburgh City. From the point of view of interest I'd love to see Edinburgh City get a home draw against someone like Rangers or Hibs... I think the record attendance at Meadowbank is around 4,000 set in Meadowbank Thistle's opening match. It'd be great for City to break it and to see it closer to full.

Surely away teams are entitled to half the gate money I can't see them being happy at getting half of nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would City be allowed to play Hibs or Rangers at the Stadium though, Meadowbank Thistle weren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is based on attendance, rather than the total takings, something like 75 % of the crowd is assumed to payed the adult rate and 25% the concession, doesn't matter if someone got in for free or not, as far as the away club is concerned.

Lex Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Last time we played in this we won it. Indeed, we also won the second tier title in the same season. A diddy double if you will. A double that no team has achieved since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
