The Moonster Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Having lost 1-0 twice in recent years up at Aberdeen, I'm hoping it's third time lucky for the Sons. Bit of a pisser that the BBC have picked it up as we'd probably have coined it in with the Dons tuning in for Glass' first game in charge but at least it's a bit of exposure for the club. Lets hope Duffy keeps Ramsbottom on the bench and doesn't give him the opportunity to embarrass himself or anyone else on National TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only league games where the TV money is pooled and divided out in prize money at the end of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just stings because it's the first opportunity we've had with our streaming service to get some excellent numbers in. There were 10K in attendance the last time the sides met, so even if you take that figure you'd be looking at over £100K right away, which would obviously then need costs deducted and split with the away side but I still think we'll be missing out on a bit of cash here (if the figure of £35K for TV matches is correct). That's vital cash for a League 1 part time side right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I have just seen Dumbarton’s schedule. Played two days ago, play tomorrow, play Thursday, play Scottish Cup match on Saturday, play Tuesday, play Thursday, play Saturday. Bloody hell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be £35k divided between the two clubs, although @Skyline Drifter is the guy to ask for this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year when we played, I thought the Aberdeen board were fantastic at trying to promote the game. That was the game when the Red army singing section or something like that was first used. Are there any plans to encourage Don's fans to purchase the stream even though it's on the telly? I'll probably watch on TV but I'll still buy a stream to help the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 In one sense it's unfair on Dumbarton, because they run the risk of niggling injuries. On the other hand, it means that their players are match sharp and will have no signs of rustiness. We haven't played for 2 weeks, and we're notoriously pish at getting back into the groove after a break. Expect a start that will be as slow as a week in jail as we think we can wear Dumbarton down by knocking it around the back 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll get a job in politics with that. Realistically, the Dumbarton team will be exhausted, both from fixture congestion and from having full time jobs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suspect Device Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 (edited) We should be confident of beating a part time team with that kind of fixture pile up before the game. So why am I not confident? It would be an embarrassment bigger than the Hearts Brora if we don't win this game comfortably. Oh oh.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I really hope Dumbarton are fucked right into the Clyde on this one. No mercy. Anything less than a 2-1 thrashing will be an embarrassment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a stadium and a big rock stopping them from getting fucked into the Clyde. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be sure to pop in the Dumbarton Lidl. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
