Ocular Patdown Required Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 A game I'm sure both sets of fans are looking forward to. It's not like this exact same tie happened two years ago, and would've happened again last year if we'd got past Rangers. Sigh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coooombe Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 We never seem to get a favourable tie in this round. Ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) If BBC have two matches again this is going to be one of them. So this is probably going to be late on Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Please not Saturday night. Edit: We play Hamilton on the following Tuesday, all the other Premiership matches are on the Wednesday, so it's Saturday night, or hopefully lunchtine, if this is on TV.

Dons_1988 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Very tough game but at home to anyone outside the OF can't be too upset. Will obviously not be a classic, hopefully have some new attacking options in place by the time it comes around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already said bus would leave 9am as normal if it was a 7.20pm kick off and make a day of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturday night under the lights with a full Merkland end again would be fantastic. Not for the away or travelling home support obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocular Patdown Required Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 Wouldn’t mind a Saturday night kickoff like the Dundee v well game in the last round. It’s easier to get to Aberdeen for me anyway 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarapoa Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) Actually have quite good memories of the tie a couple of years back. Kilmarnock had entered the peak-Clarke zone and brought a great crowd up to Pittodrie for the QF - and on a freezing day when police were warning against non-essential travel. The home part of the South Stand was closed and we were 'rehoused' in the RDS, but the home crowd was pretty poor. Down to Rugby Park for the replay we went, and again I had never seen the place like that - with a proper raucous home crowd, and a real big game cup-tie feel to it. Getting through on pens due to Freddie Woodman was enjoyable - having Logan, Shinnie and McLean pick up second yellows wasn't - as was borne out by the shambolic semi-final that season (which was rinsed and repeated at the Ibrox QF replay win last season).

Our bus had two buses up at that, were 120 of us in a boozer in Brechin for 11am that day - best support I'd seen us take up there since first away game in the Premier under Burns when we lost 1-0 (Paul Kane screamer I'm sure) and was also first league game when the RD was open. That was August and was still baltic. We had a good crowd up like you mentioned last time in the cup, just under 1,400 and it was wild travelling conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrelhumper Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 3pm on the Saturday thank f**k. Two buses from our boozer, one full and other filling up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resk Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Red Shed thingy will be in operation for this. Full price tickets 22 quid around the ground. I expect the uptake among the home support to be.... sluggish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irrational Behaviour Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Aye, ticket prices are very off putting. £15 would have enticed me to go. Struggle to break 10k here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 That's my ticket loaded on to my card. £22 isn't great. Would have preferred for them to keep them at £20 max but it didn't put me off. Hopefully the Merkland can be full like the last round. Was a decent atmosphere and the lanky b*****d who is normally in front of me must have moved to the Merkland and I got a better view of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
