overthetop Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Massive incentive to progress now. Exactly but team is hardly full of players up for a battle. Big pressure on JT to progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_the_rover Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 As with us last week you must have injuries and Darren Youngs been watering pitch ..... See all the cheek dealt out last week has come back and bit you in the ass boy :whistle There is a difference when it's the only game in Scotland called off and at the same time you have 6 first team players missing opposed to alot of games get called off and you arnt missing 6 players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 A strange part of me wouldn't be too fussed about losing this now.We've already been unceremoniously pumped out of one of the cups by one half of the bigot brothers so the prospect of the other half doing the same doesn't really feel like a reward for progressing.People will talk about the financial rewards, but it's not like the fans benefit from it, just the already considerably wealthy board members. It's certainly not why I'm into football.If the winners played Elgin at home then progressing would be much more important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The draw does mean certain elimination if we get that far. I also agree that although a financial boost is healthy in the longer term, it's not an end in itself and some fans treat it that way. I'm quite looking forward to the tie, should it materialise though. Any novelty once attached to playing Rangers, is now well and truly gone. There is some involved in playing Celtic, although we'll no doubt get treated to some similar rubbish to that brought by their sister club.

I get your point about no doubt getting pumped and I would prefer a game against a lower league team at this stage, but surely the money generated from games like these with a likely full house and tv appearance make a big difference when it comes to signing a Dobbie as opposed to a Tam Brighton..... this must be seen as slightly beneficial for the fans! I am in no way overly confident that we'll progress now btw - going out tomorrow would be a very Queens thing to do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Wonder if the Players will be on a bonus to progress thru tomorow nights tie, maybe a nice wee extra with Xmas round the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the players need financial incentive to win the tie tomorrow then I'd rather they were nowhere near the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSTY1111 Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share Posted November 29, 2016 Should be. They cannot change the prices. A tenner for adults and two quid for concessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_the_rover Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Would be surprised if there was a pitch inspection needed let alone the game be off. Hasn't been frosty In coatbridge since Thursday and has been a lot more mild all weekend At the moment it is a relativly mild 5 degrees and that's a hell of alot warmer than the -5 the same time last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roy of the rovers Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Should be. They cannot change the prices. A tenner for adults and two quid for concessions. £10 adults £5 concession £2 kids under 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Very surprised by Cammy's comments - there are so many drab ties that we could get - any game against another Championship team for starters and you throw in horrors like Inverness, Ross County, St Johnstone Dundee, away.Surely Celtic at home has to be a great draw?I think it is hard enough for BOD to keep a club like us running on FT basis and getting unexpected potential bonuses like this surely has to be a positive?

sam2304 Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Well I'm nightshift tonight so I won't able to make it unfortunately. From a motivational point of view I'm guessing Darren's team talk was taken care of with last nights draw, hopefully our tactics on the night will be spot on and we'll get through. Hope there's a good turn out and everyone enjoys the match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they could change prices if they wanted to (subject to our agreement). Cannot see why they would, but they could.

It's certainly not why I'm into football. I think I get what you mean but I'm going to presume you've phrased that really badly. For avoidance of doubt none of the Board are paid out of the club, quite the opposite in fact. If what you meant is that a bigger bank balance saves them worrying about maybe having to put their hands in their pockets to fund continuing operations at the same level then yes that's probably true. That's still a good thing for fans though and the extra money is bound to filter into the playing budget. Personally I'd rather have made some progress through the tournament before running into Celtic but if we are fortunate enough to get to the next round then it's an attractive tie, albeit one that will create a great deal of work for me and others at the club.
