Clyde_1977 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 100 % agree with the big guy the 4 games are winnable, and if they did it sets up a home tie with Raith. This team strike me as a group of guys who would love to right the previous wrongs! I can see the logic in dropping Smith but Johnston has been electric coming off the bench 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Dumbarton away will be a tough game. They are on a very good run just now. We need to stop that Isaac Layne scoring firstly! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeton Clyde Boy Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Johnstone is a great player going forward but defensively we are a man down hense why he hasn’t started against Falkirk Forfar and QOS, I have a feeling he may start next week but would be a bit unfair to change a winning team 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Reid Fan Club Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Boy I have seen some piss on Twitter today, why we don’t want an away tie out of Scotland in the next round of the challenge cup , as the club don’t have the money to cover the expenses. We get 4K to travel I believe and how do people know the state of the finances who walk around in a bull suit every second Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Reid Fan Club Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 In further research I think we get 10k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Even if it is £4k, Surely that would cover the team getting to any of these away games and a hotel for the night. I dont think Emirates do first class to Waterford or Solihull... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even going on a shitty coach and choosing a low rating hotel would make it difficult to achieve that on £4K IMO. I know when Dumbarton played TNS in the semi-final a couple of years back it cost us money, but I think there is a bigger payment now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what our arrangements are with them. We have a playing squad of 22. Then theres Danny Lennon, Allan Moore and the rest of the backroom staff so not far off 30 in total. We would make a profit when we beat Waterford and make it to the next round anyway... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get 4K to travel I believe and how do people know the state of the finances who walk around in a bull suit every second Saturday Since this is aimed at me, I don't and I was merely giving my own opinion based on what was discussed at the recent Q&A regarding finances. You have nothing to worry about, me or the bull know as much about the finances as any other fan. Also if it is indeed £10k cost now then "the bloke in the bull costume" fear's around an away draw were misplaced. That would more than cover it.

Only one David Marsh Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Dunfermline said it cost them 10k when they got an away tie, one of the English teams also stated it was 10k for them to come up here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think it's a reasonable question to ask, whether it's correct that teams should lose significant money playing an away cup game. Especially, against teams outwith Scotland who were invited into the competition by the ruling body.Does supporter experience make that worthwhile? I'd say yes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) If you cant get something a bit different and wee trip to look forward to what is the point? There has been too much drudgery in recent years and life is too short..... Edited September 9, 2019 by SouthLanarkshireWhite 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David W Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 That said, I'd still rather avoid Cove. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
