19QOS19 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Having paid no attention whatsoever to this (only realised Welsh teams were in it last week), I have no idea if TNS are any good. What sort of level are they meant to be at? I guess if we're going to get pumped, it'll be nice to get pumped by someone who isn't also going to pump us in the league. Decent Championship level apparently. Didn't see enough of them yesterday to judge for myself. Rumoured to have a monthly wage budget of 150k. I'll be supporting St Mirren anyway. Get this farce over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were comfortably better than Livi. Result never in doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away to TNS would have been a novelty but would have given us next to nothing financially and I wouldn't fancy our chances either. Home to St Mirren and TNS would have been better. Away to those two or United would have been worse. So it's far from the worst draw. I suppose its arguable, given the ties arent until February, but as it stands away to saintees is a more winnable game than home to Utd. Away to TNS would have been better for the novelty value and the fact its a team we wont face 4 times already. Only away to Utd would have been a worse draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they've had a lot of investment over the last few years, and are way better than the club they were even 5 years ago. They'll definitely be a challenge, especially the way we've been playing this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the game yesterday and they strolled it against Livingstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irvine_buddie Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 We're supposed to be at home to Dundee Utd the weekend of the semis so that'll be another re-arranged game to midweek probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Someone was asking on one of the other threads what kind of support TNS might bring if they make the Final. Not much by the looks of attendances at Welsh cup finals - although I'd imagine the Irn Bru Cup Final against Scottish Championship opposition might be seen as a 'bigger deal' to their fans than the domestic stuff, which they play in almost every season. On the other hand it would be much further away than Welsh cup finals - which are normally near, in north Wales. England and Scotland also have home qualifiers the day of the final. In the last 8 years they have played in 4 Welsh FA Cup Finals, with crowds of 731... 1,273... 1,579... 1,402. In the last 8 years they've also played in 6 Welsh League Cup Finals, with crowds of 555... 375... 310... 455... 657... 1,158. When they reached the Final of the FAW Premier Cup - against Conference side Newport in 2006-07 played at Newport - crowd was 1,809. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessieField Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Good Draw! Home game played to a finish, possibly new players and management team by February, players back from injury, United thinking it will be easy, what could go wrong?
