1 John Lambie Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Rather be home to Clyde than away, will probably result in the pre-season friendly being cancelled also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third Lanark Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Generally the Alba cup sees the club loses money with attendances about 1000 to 1500. A home tie against Clyde may get us higher than 2000 and some in for hospitality as well so there is at least one plus point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regionalisation of the first-round of the Alba Cup - obviously designed to save clubs cash - is a real turn off, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Stronach Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The Clyde fans will be creaming themselves at the prospect of playing their big "rivals". At least we should progress without too much trouble and it will be a good opportunity for McCall to have a look at the team he would like to start with in the opening league game.

Smurph Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 The OS is responding ridiculously slowly. It must mean it's coming soon. It feels like I'm awaiting a baby, only to find it out it's going to be Clyde or Airdrie. How cool am I? Really, really disappointed by this. I hope the pre-season game gets cancelled, like 1 John Lambie says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think it will be as easy as you think. Clyde have made a couple of reasonable signingsand got Willie Sawyers on a new contract plus the added edge of it being a derby means it will be far from easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancipital Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Game with nothing to gain, really. We win and we're expected to do it, we lose and they'll be casting it up for decades.

SirJohnLambie Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Another draw to be made today anyone know the time? I see we are seeded with this one so we get a team who finished 6th or lower in the Second Division! Possibility of Clyde again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
