That seems a pretty good deal given the relative audience sizes - maybe 10%?. I was surprised the English prize money is as low as that, chicken feed for the big boys. What's it like at the early rounds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably because it was worth more than either Sky or BT ( now TNT Sports) were willing to pay. I don't think they took the first offer in this instance. They jumped at the best financial offer. You say presumably. Which leads me to thinking you are as much in the dark as me. I do however think our game is totally undersold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 (edited) It seems odd that the League Cup is far better paid in the early stages than the Scottish Cup, when it's basically a preseason tourney.

Muzza81 Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 East Fife will be as well getting a ferry to Dunbar. Have a Scottish club ever travelled by ferry to a game on the mainland? At least those EF tubes that turned up to North Berwick instead of Berwick upon Tweed a few years ago will know the area well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the Forth Rail bridge wasn't completed until 1890 and the Scottish Cup started in 1873 there must have been one team came across by the Forth ferry I would have thought. But I can't be arsed to do the research! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans have claimed to get to Stranraer by flying to Belfast and catching the ferry, from Dingwall which makes sense, but also from Montrose, which doesn't. Clubs North of Inverness must have crossed by ferry before the Kessock Bridge was built I'd have thought, unless they just went by road via Beauly..

Campbeltown Pupils: occasionally travel by ferry from the mainland (Campbeltown) to the mainland (Ardrossan). But not this season, thanks to Calmac abandoning Kintyre entirely this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sticks in the mind as the Campbeltown players were all covered in barnacles and seaweed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have searched but couldn't find a poster for a Hibs v Raith game when a return trip on a ferry from Kirkcaldy to Leith was advertised, I don't know if the team travelled the same way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 Sounds like @HibeeJibee's area of expertise but I'd think Edinburgh and East Lothian to Fife by boat happened several times in the early days. Especially before the Forth Bridge was built, as mentioned 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
