superward Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is it not also PATG? If so, number of tickets sold won't mean much. Thought quite a few would take up the the free concession offer for buying in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_P Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Just found out that they have been given the south stand. Surely to cut the costs the could fit them into the Phil O'donnell stand and not open the south stand. If we're going to open both the top and bottom tiers for 400 - 550 Dundee, St Johnstone or Hamilton fans as we have recently then housing a similar amount of Cove fans in the South Stand isn't out of context. That said It has crossed my mind as to why we've opened both tiers of late for modest visiting supports but in my view it's always better to have the opposition support close to us for the interaction and atmosphere.

2/6 tae get in Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Don't think team will be a lot different from Saturday's. Two or three changes at most perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Don't think team will be a lot different from Saturday's. Two or three changes at most perhaps. I'm of the opinion that you play your strongest team ever week and only make changes if you have to. Wouldn't like too see wholesale changes. I think it sends a message out to players that "this game isn't as important". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underboyleheating Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Due to work, I am unable to make Saturdays game, however, I don’t want any nasty surprises from Fir Park when I return home. We need to play our strongest team and treat Cove Rangers with the respect they deserve. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 I think we might see Craig Samson in goals on Saturday, but other than that, get a strong side out.

weeyin Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Playing a Highland League team at home. We're on an unbeaten run. McGhee just picked up Manager of the Month. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it is temping the mocker Gods, but McGhee is not McCall so we should be alright. Treat the opposition with all due respect and put out a strong team to do the job and we will be in the next round. I think three nil sounds about right.

MelvinBragg Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Going against what everyone else is saying, I'd be playing a slightly weakened team. A lot of our key players are over 30, a rest won't do them any harm and playing guys with something to prove should ensure 100% and no complacency. I'd go Samson Watt Hall Laing Hammell Ainsworth Lasley Cadden Thomas McFadden Fletcher Lasley, I'd play as he's missing the Hearts game and Hammell because there's no other option in his position (although you could play Watt there and keep Law at right back if you wanted to rest Hammell). If our fringe players, with four or five experienced players in the side, aren't good enough to win this game then they're simply not good enough... I suspect that McGhee will go with a stronger lineup though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 7, 2016 Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 Is Grimshaw away then? I noticed Alan Burrows replying to someone on Twitter earlier about that. Suggestion was that he still has another week or so of his deal to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weeyin Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Snow will be ending during the morning giving way to some light rain during the afternoon. High 39F. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precip 60%. Do we still have covers? Sounds like that should be enough to keep the game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelboy Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Surely the bigger issue is Cove getting down tomorrow? The park should be fine. Snow will be ending during the morning giving way to some light rain during the afternoon. High 39F. Winds ENE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precip 60%. 4 degrees in real money apparently.
