If we get through it's a winnable tie, but we'll no be able to bring a Striker in on the strength of it I would think
At least we dinnae hiv Harvey playing for us this time Laughing

Based on Motherwell’s form it’s winnable and should bring in a good 3,500-4,000 attendance.

It’s an exciting draw, would be refreshing to see infrequent visitors return to Starks Park… just need to get the heads screwed on and make sure it happens!

Didn’t know they took 2,000 to Arbroath, Impressive numbers!

Clearly the ‘magic’ of the cup resonates with their support, all the more reason we need to be progressing on Tuesday as 3,500-4,000 might be a low estimate based on those figures. Maybe 2,500ish in each end? Ching-ching

Hypothetically as we still have to beat LR and that's by no means a given, and then it all depends on what the ticket prices would be, if it's £20 and £13 then I'd guess an average of about £16 x 5000 (can't see it being many more) so that's £80k, if £22 & £15 then an average of £18 and £90k all less stewarding/policing expenses and the rest split 2 ways. (£35 to 40k ?)

Add in £3-4k for hospitality, Tv highlights appearance money £20k (maybe more) and £48k for a potential exit fee.
Not sure how the Tv thing works these days but it used to be paid by the minute, if you got goals highlights you got money and if you were a featured match you got a lot more. I don't see a tie v M'well being televised live but it may get picked up as a feature game on BBC Scottish Cup Sportscene.

Getting through to play Motherwell could be worth at least around £100,000.

Looking at the draw dont see why a potential cup tie against Motherwell wouldn,t be considered for live TV coverage

TV companies are interested in ratings and I think other clubs will bring more eyeballs to their advertisers than us and Motherwell. You never know though.
It's a good draw for us though and it piles even more pressure onto the Rose match. People often talk about the budget that McGlynn had but its worth remembering that he washed his own face in that regard by doing well in the cups. By doing well in the cups I mean not getting dumped out of the cups by teams we should be beating and then beating clubs that we had a good chance of beating. Had Murray got us out of our league cup group instead of faltering against Dumbarton and Stirling then maybe he'd have had a bigger budget to play with now?
