glensmad Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Could make it free for kids and charge £6 for Adults, probably get a bigger crowd with that. Unless "lang" is on the gate... [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that £8 might be a big chuck of disposable income to some folk but in the wider context of how much watching football costs these days it's a reasonable price for a cup final. A price bump from the group matches and k/o rounds is standard practice. Will it deter neutrals? who knows. I'll probably be along, hangover permitting, and hopefully a few other will as well.

holmparkheroes Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Cambuslang will have to be paid for the use of Somervell and the efforts of their people hosting the final, anyway, Mr Robertson has inadvertently given us some extra time to save up for the £2 quid hike .

not man of the match Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Like you said, it’s £2.Did you really expect it to be the same as a normal league game? It’s a cup final that both sides will want to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmontheloknow Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Do Lang have anything to do with the boozer next door? If not they won't see a penny of bar takings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it on these threads before, but hosting finals isn't a huge earner; you get 10% of the gate - bear in mind there will be a lot of concessions and kids included in that - and whatever you make on the pie stall. Even a crowd of c.1000 means a lot of clubs are talking in maybe about as much as they would for a normal home game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly was a social club. Lok's Bar and Kitchen at Newlandsfield is now a private entity completely separate from the football club. I understood Sweepers to be a similar thing.

lang Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Not sure if bar is owned by Cambuslang. May be wrong. Sweepers has been a private pub since the early 80's owned by the guy who used to sponsor this cup, Tom Brown. We will get a small percentage of the gate for rental plus the raffle and pie stall,if we have enough volunteers to do everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Hoping to get home that weekend so if it goes ahead then I will be delighted. At least until we get pumped. Agree that the price increase is a bit cheeky, though they will justify it by saying the fact it's a cup final means there is added prestige. Wouldn't surprise me if they are having to give Benburb a bung after the f**k up with the original fixture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Benburb's 'reward' was to get last Thursday night's fixture in the Quadrangular Tournament ... with a crowd of maybe 20? Wonder what their cut of the takings came to for that?
