kni Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 In England, Leagues One and Two played in good weather but there was no SFL programme. With Scotland playing way on Friday evening, this was a total waste of an opportunity for other clubs (not in the Challenge Cup) in our Divisions One and Two to get some decent gate money. Instead, there is a full programme on Tuesday 22nd March. The weather forecasters are predicting another long, hard winter so there could be fixture congestion in March. Alternatively, the league season could have started a week later or we could have had a break in January. A wasted opportunity or am I being too critical?

lady-isobel-barnett Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 (edited) Talking about missing games, how many will be absent in our rearranged fixture with QoS? It's always the case that crowds are down for a midweek match. Also Queens usually bring a decent support on a Saturday but can't see many making the trip midweek in winter. That feckin' Challenge Cup You hardly make any money when you're in it. You even lose money when you're out of it Edited October 12, 2010 by lady-isobel-barnett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kni Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 There were 1,000 less fans at Dingwall on Saturday compared to our league game just a week earlier. The weather was great so the fans could not afford it or just don't respect the Challenge Cup as a competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im still a bit pissed off that I had to miss Dingwall because I was travelling back from Prague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross County have a funny habit of having figures vary like that in league c.f. cup games. I'm saying nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying nothing either but I think something similar happened to us a few years back in Fife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleGreySky Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I still don't think the crowd for our cup game in annan was 1025 like reported. It was more like 1000 thistle fans plus annan's support. In this day and age, how can there not be proper monitoring of these things?
