Bridgeton Clyde Boy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Thought I would get this in nice and early why not. Cracking draw I think with both sets of fans thinking it will be winnable. Heard the park is in terrible condition ? And how many tickets do you think Clyde fans will be getting ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Seen their ground holds 2200 and there was over 2000 on Saturday with about 300 away fans included in that. Hopefully we get about 500 tickets as anything less than that I can see being a bit of a scramble and it would be a shame for anyone to miss out. Except @Sao Paulo. He's a p***k. Be a proper old school cup tie at a tight ground with quite probably a full house. Looking forward to it. Edited November 25, 2019 by C.

The Mantis Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I wouldn't describe it as a shite surface. It's maintained by professionals rather than just the committee like most non-League clubs. It cut up badly on Saturday but it had been raining heavily during the week and never stopped all day Saturday. You could hear the rain battering off the shelter during the game but there there was no standing water on the park at kickoff time. The slope is something else mind you I think the capacity is 2600 despite what's on non-League Scotland. Against Buckie they restricted sales to 1700 as it was their first game under the lights and also there was all the TV stuff to fit in. They were being ultra-cautious for that game. Against Montrose they increased it to about 2000 but there was still plenty room if you look at the highlights. Apparently Mo were given 350 tickets and the whole bottom end was reserved for them. However the segregation seemed to be relaxed on Saturday and that end was very sparse although the away support was quoted as about 280. Against Buckie segregation was strict. Before licensing I can remember 2400 against Talbot in the Junior Cup and there was plenty room. Just my opinion, as I'm not connected with the club, but against Clyde I can see the crowd being raised to something approaching the 2600 and Clyde getting a healthy allocation but being segregated in the bottom goal and a bit round the corner, i.e. the end where Bonnyrigg's 2 goals were scored this week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOFOREVER Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 The pitch isn't great but that's no excuse and it was a very wet day, I've seen Berwick and Cowden a lot worse. Clyde though be warned. If you put out a much changed starting line up they will do you. Bonnyrigg are very beatable but if you make the number of changes the Mo did then you'll get what you deserve - we did. In fairness I think Bonnyrigg made a couple of changes as well, Mikey Andrews wasn't in goal. By the way there is no seating at all at the ground even for Press guys, just a grassy bank to stand on. No disrespect to Bonnyrigg, just a fact. I was rather hoping they would get somebody like Hibs or Hearts at home and see how they coped with the situation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played Hibs a few years ago and it got moved to Tynecastle. Would've been before they got floodlights installed though but imagine some extra £ played a part as they could've played it at home but kicked off earlier if they had no lights. I can't see us making many changes. We played about the strongest that was fit and available against Stirling. If anything with the game a couple of months away we could look stronger than we have all season so far if all the injuries are cleared up by then and no new ones have surfaced.

I don't think the Hibs game had a chance of being played there. Sure it was a police decision to move it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwoodBoy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Delighted with the draw. It should be a cracking tie & one that we cannot afford to be complacent in. Bonnyrigg are no mugs & certainly showed that against Montrose on Saturday. Confident we will have too much for them on the day but will make for an auld fashioned Scottish cup tie in front of a large crowd. I would expect we would be needing at least 600 tickets which after watching the highlights from the weekend shouldn’t be a problem(?). It looked like there was still plenty of space. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you can't use a laptop you try to use an old fashioned notepad but in the pi**ing down rain with no seat or cover you couldn't even use a notepad and even using a mobile phone was dodgy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwoodBoy Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 440 tickets for Clyde. 15 quid a heed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR96 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Big club. Huge. Colossal. Finally season ticket holders will get to redeem their first dibs on any ticketed matches perk for the first time in about 15 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeLad Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 440 is generous but fillable £15 not so great 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthLanarkshireWhite Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 2200 at £10 average means Clyde will get about £8k. I think it is steep for a ground with few facilities and the likelihood of a drenching in January, however we were obviously complicit so it is what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karpaty Lviv Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Our record against lower league sides is pathetic so it wouldn’t surprise me if we got rumbled. I’m neither an owner nor ST holder so could be touch and go getting a ticket. Never thought I’d say that about a Clyde game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
