Deanburn Dave Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Porteous was 40 yards from goal so probably couldn't have ran as far as their goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanburn Dave Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Its over 0-1 to the BU's. Next stop Greenock Morton. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Not only a bumper pay day involved but a chance for a historic upset against a fully professional club with the pressure all on the home team. Looked this up a few days back and this is likely the first trip to Cappielow for a Bo'ness club since the second division season of 1928-29. Still some way to go to match Bo'ness FC's exploits in the Scottish Cup around that time. They reached the quarter finals in 1922-23, 1926-27 and 1930-31.

Deanburn Dave Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 The main threat today was the Luncarty throw ins. Their thrower took a minute to dry the ball with a towel and then launched it deep into the box. Second half there was a throw in which bounced in the box and went into the Boness United net. The home fans celebrated as the net rippled but you cannot score with a throw in and correctly a byekick was awarded to the BU's. Thought the referee was over indulgent in allowing so much time to dry the ball before about 20 throw ins. Really broke up the flow of the game.......which may have been part of the home teams plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted November 4, 2023 Author Share Posted November 4, 2023 Cup Football is ALL about getting to the next round so job done by the BU's but it was hard work. They can play a LOT better than they did today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Rage Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 Keen to see the Luncarty "goal" again. Given the amount of bodies in the box very surprised there wasn't a nick off someone. Tough watch today, but a nice wee ground and can look forward to a trip to Greenock. 9/10 pies, 1 point knocked off for running out before half time.

LongTimeLurker Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) Gretna beating Broomhill is a bit of an eyeopener elsewhere as is Tranent following up a 7-0 gubbing of EK with a draw away to Berwick: If EK can only beat Caledonian Braves 2-1, it will be interesting to see what happens on Wednesday. Going direct was reported to be what worked for Tranent. Edited November 4, 2023 by LongTimeLurker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an observation, not a go at anyone. Cowdenbeath are in a similar situation at Inverness, will make a little money off the tie but nothing major. Good to see you are still hurting at your cup exit though, glorious. -1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizarre comment, that would seem very unlikely as we run a tight ship and don’t throw silly money at players. Hope you’ve got it all out your system now.

Still haven't adjusted your mindset to being in the LL by the looks of things. It's normally £20 to get in at Cappielow. If that applies to this cup game and there are over 1500 people there, the BUs could easily be looking at £15k or so as their share of the gate plus the prize money related to progressing to this particular round. Compare and contrast with what the gate proceeds are likely to be at Newtown Park when a club like Caledonian Braves are the visitors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignoring your uncharacteristic petty jibe which is complete nonsense I can see where you are coming from, though teams in the top two leagues tend to have lower crowds in the early rounds compared to their league crowds for the obvious reason that season tickets are not included, still it might attract 1500. Think charging £20 would be over the top, and not everyone attending will pay adult prices so gate revenue maybe a bit less than that. As far as I know the home team keeps the first 20% of the gate money, and the rest is split. Plus VAT of course to be paid will reduce the income further. For prize money I think it’s only a couple of grand extra if you exit in the 3rd round compared to the one before. Look, it’s still good income for clubs like Bo’ness and Cowdenbeath (at Inverness), no denying that but the real bumper payday would have been away at Dundee United, Dunfermline, maybe Falkirk. Still, as it stands a wee bit better than a home tie against the Braves. Edited November 4, 2023 by Cowdenleith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we get from this tie is irrelevant it is something to give us extra income end off. Edited November 4, 2023 by boheesian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
