Next opponents drawn at 5pm

 

Could have been worse--a home tie with equal prospects of doom without the money. Let's face it, one way or the other the winning team would have to face Celtic at some time in the tournament so the prospects of the money + another game at Tulloch is quite a prize.

££££££ 

Heres hoping we get Rangers away after the Celtic match to double up the revenue.

I'd settle for Morton

The last time I was in Greenock for our midweek away fixture, I saw Kate Humble in the Premier inn.

I think she was filming Morton Watch.

 

 

Billy Reid sat next to me, he was monitoring one of Morton's players and Caley D was doing a very good impression of the Young team. I think the stewards were trying to chuck some fans out for doing the bouncy or something.

Looks like this will be live on the BBC, Saturday 11th February, with a 12:15 KO.

If so, then it's little surprise to see the SFA and TV companies having their usual regard to the interests of traveling fans.

There will not be much TV cash from the BBC so let's hope for a big crowd!

TV income is the same for all broadcast matches.....regardless of who's doing it.

absolutely ******* ridiculous kick-off time! who gives a **** about the travelling support as long as the fans of the ugly sisters are catered for!

what an absolute crock!!!!!

and we'll get slagged for taking a piffle support down the road!!!

RAGING!!!

was this dictated to the clubs or agreed with the clubs?

Thanks CaleyD I thought Sky paid more 

Particularly as the Sunday 1500 kick off is Rangers against Morton, only around 15 miles apart!

They might....but the income is paid from the SFA "pot" and the fee to each club playing in a broadcast game isn't dependent on which TV company is showing it.

For those who aren't willing/able to get down to Glasgow for the earlier kick-off......watch it from the comfort of the stadium for just £7, includes Pie & a Pint.

this is the wrong way round!!!!

the club should be doing what it can to facilitate people to attend the match, i.e argue for a sensible KO time, keep the ticket cost down to allow us to pay for travel, etc.

i appreicate that the club arent going to make much out of this venture, but it appears to be arse for tit imo

CJT running a bus for folk wanting to go but with it being such an early ko I think offering fans an alternative not a bad thing?

In all fairness both of them regularly play away games with early kick offs for TV and their fans travel in large numbers 

In addition to the unattractive KO time, presumably the fact that the game is on BBC rather than a subscription channel will reduce the gate receipts further.

I'd be surprised if we take more than a couple of hundred to this sadly. I wonder what the ticket prices will be like.

yup, fair play to them, travelling from one side of Glasgow to the other.  it surely should be applauded!

i don't disagree, but with our travelling support being so poor anyway, this may just encourage the undecided not to travel...

Anyone who's looking for a reason not to go has one in the fact that it's on terrestrial TV.

By offering this option the club have a chance that at least some of them will come along and watch it at the stadium with other fans and spend a bit in the bar instead of heading in to town and spending money there or in the supermarket for their carryout.

Providing a service for fans and also trying to recover at least some of the lost gate revenue from those not travelling would seem like a sensible move on all fronts, IMO.
