My old dear sits in the first rows of the Cooper stand and would have no chance getting up the stairs in the East or POD. Get a steward to escort her in and out of her seat. MFC will be happy to help I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general terms I'd agree with you - £5.00 would be a reasonable charge for a bog standard SPFL Premiership game, if I had my way. The problem is though that every club in the senior professional ranks charges more, as do some clubs in the lower echelons . Formartine United, for example, charge £8.00 for their normal games and so I really don't think £5.00 is anywhere near a realistic price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 Seems strange to me if we are considering closing the Cooper. If the team is in any sort of form and tickets are reasonably priced we should be able to muster a decent crowd. It is the Scottish cup after all and McCall isn't in charge. Gone are the days when the East Stand was crammed for the visit of Stirling Albion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzie Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 It's fair to say my wee made-up story didn't have the desired affect. Was hoping there would be pant-wetting and foaming at the mouth, rather than general indifference and folk worrying about their mammies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilian Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 What do we know about Cove Rangers then? Watt, Park, Yule and Milne scored their four today in the replay , Nicol scored their goal in the first tie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underboyleheating Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 If we lose this, the last one to leave should turn out the lights at Fir Park. If I am being honest our U20’s should be able to win this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yabba's Turd Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 They have no ex-well connections so we should be safe from the doom mongers saying someone will come back to haunt us, no doubt there's someone with a tenuous link of buying a fridge freezer from Stepek and having to return it because it was faulty...

Andy_P Posted December 5, 2015 Report Share Posted December 5, 2015 Dare say I'm in the minority but I'm loving this. Highland League Team A or Highland League Team B. That's the Scottish Cup draw of dreams. Granted it would have been better had it been away but the opposition itself? Brilliant! See even though they beat us I'd take that Albion Rovers draw or a Highland League team any day of the week than Dundee Utd or Aberdeen for about the twelfth time in half a dozen years. In fact it blows league games against the likes of Thistle, St Johnstone and Dundee to name but three right out the water. The Cup competitions have lost a fair bit of their lustre in recent seasons but it's draws like Cove that help retain the excitement for me. I'm really looking forward to it. Especially the replay.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, it’s games like these that really bring home the true magic of the cup, although, don’t be silly Cove won’t require a replay to beat us.

We made that one, was a bit of a hairy drive up! Was it the 5th attempt? Remember I had arranged to go 3 times, but think there was another 2 I wouldn't have made if it was on. Then booked a hotel the next year for ICT away and it was off. Still never been to Inverness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 The strange thing about the Inverurie game was it was snowing heavily in the central belt when we left. Considering all the previous call-offs, we thought it was only a matter of time before we heard it was off again but it cleared up before Dundee and was fine from there on. It was unbelievably cold at the game though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
