If it does go ahead on the Saturday, it should attract a half decent crowd.
I'd reckon they'll bring four or five hundred through. |
The fetish for Talbot revolves around the whole "giant killing" thing the BBC seem to have whenever Auchinleck, the ex-Junior giants of Ayrshire, are drawn against any of the senior league clubs. They just can't seem to get enough of them.
Whit? Was that West coast bias I hear you say?
Dinnae be silly. It disnae exist.

Berra laughs out loud when Falkirk get drawn away to Wick Academy! Don't think it was gloating - still funny though! |

I'd imagine it'll be either our game or Accies v East Kilbride that gets chosen for TV coverage. Hopefully we get the nod. _________________ Fantalk~Often wrong but never in doubt |

Won't there be two televised games - same as this round?
One on the Friday night and one on the Monday night?
Given that the TV money for this round is £3500 for each team featured, you wouldn't have to lose too many off the gate for the club to end up out of pocket. _________________ Dougie Hill

Think it would depend on the day. Monday night would effect the crowd more than a Friday night match. With the gate being split I reckon it would need to take 500 off the attendance for it to make a difference. In the meantime our main sponsor and possible financial investor gets eyeballs across the nation on their establishment. Might encourage further investment? _________________ Fantalk~Often wrong but never in doubt |

As long as we keep the high balls to minimum the camera won't need to pan up high enough to catch the former sponsors name on the top of the stand. _________________ Fantalk~Often wrong but never in doubt |

Pleasing that the odious Kirk Broadfoot was responsible for conceding the 92nd minute penalty that saw Broomhill papped out the cup. _________________ Dougie Hill

Notice that Montrose are on the end of a proper home horsing from Darvel. 4-1 down at the 60 minutes mark 😲
Result as expected 13 miles up the road at the Harmsworth Park. Would have been a massive shock if it had been even close in the scoreline.
Playing down the slope with the wind behind plus the Academy not having the legs for ninety minutes against a full time team saw the Bairns in easy street.
Will we be drawn against them in the next round?
Could be intriguing if so. _________________ Talk on! Talk on!

Probably get away to University of Stirling…just saying, or Darvel. |
