Tranent handing East Kilbride a 7-0 doing. Dunbar knocking East Fife out. All scores below That Tranent score is a shocker even though they both play in the same league, nobody saw that coming. Tranent are probably a better side, but not by that margin. Also, well done to Jeanfield, they've got a great set up and are a decent side and this is the biggest shock of the round. They play in the EOS Premier and so are a league below Tranent and EK. They play in the same league as the Swifts, and Hill of Beath!

Stanza Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 Unlike some others I actually thought the cup draw was quite an interesting one. The standout matches are the Fife and Glasgow derbies between 4 Championship clubs. But there are also a number of ties where a lower division team is at home and will be looking to cause an upset: Albion Rovers v Bonnyrigg Dunbar v Alloa Peterhead v Ayr QOS v Dundee Utd Stranraer v Airdrie Spartans v Arbroath Tranent v Arbroath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow hand clap to these amazing TV deals. Agreed. On the upside, the BBC will likely trail the game a fair bit, so it might help encourage attendance, at least from the home crowd. Likely to hit the away crowd though, especially just before the end of the month and only a few weeks from Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will definitely knock the attendance down. I wish the clowns in charge would **** them aff. Apparently, it's actually a whopping £3.5k for this round. 🙄 Why did the clubs not throw out this insulting offer when it was put before them? How many fans need to stay at home for this derisory sum to be swallowed up in lost gate money? Did they not vote on it? If not, why not and is it legally binding? Our clubs need to grow a set and tell the SFA or SPFL to gtf when a deal, which is not in their best interests, is negotiated. That's what these bodies are supposed to do, is it not? Instead, we get deal after deal which panders to just 2 out of 42 senior clubs. Some 20 years ago, the BBC was televising a top flight game on a Sunday afternoon. It was a bit of a disaster for 10 of the 12 SPL clubs (no prizes for guessing who the exceptions were) as the live game invariably featured Celtic or Rangers as the away side. Nevertheless, the BBC paid £50k to the home team and £45k to the visitors. How much would that equate to today? It was a disaster, though, because attendances for these games were well down on what might be expected. A Pars director at the time told me that the £50k barely covered the loss of gate money as our attendances were usually about 3,000 short of what might normally be expected. Meanwhile, the Glasgow clubs would pocket a wee bonus of £45k from almost every away game. Money for nothing (and your chicks for free.) ☹️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al k Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Considering how long Neil Doncaster's been rewarded for failure, its not really a surprise the clubs would accept an offer like that. Wholesale changes needed across Scottish football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastendtales Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Absolute crap numbers there. Could swear 20 years ago it was like 16k for a TV appearance and the cup prize money was way higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
