Edinburgh City 1 Montrose 3 FT (MERGED)

***MacBean*** · 17-01-2010 06:32 PM

Is anyone else going?

My brother plays for the league leading Under 19's and will be hoping to get in the squad for a place on the bench tomorrow in his game tonight (playing Spartans).

If he doesnt get in he'll be helping out so ill be heading down for a watch to have a gander at our opposition in the next round.

Will also be able to see Andy McNeil feature for Montrose!
What a fall from grace he has had! CIS Cup winning medal, to 6 points and bottom of the scottish Football League!

Good Luck to Edin. City but at £10 entrance, I'll not be anywhere near the turnstiles. I hope Montrose get through, as we tend not to perform against non-league sides...

remember Morton

certainly a lot of cash on offer for both sides. For selfish reasons im hoping City get through. Although i would hate if my bro came on and scored against us.

Either way we should be beating both these teams!

***Mikey_1875*** · 17-01-2010 07:35 PM

I think there is a floor price for all the Scottish cup games. (Could be £7 but I'm not sure)

If it had been circa £5 I wouldve went, but given the quality of the teams (bottom of Div 3, bottom quarter of EoS league), a tenner seems a touch steep, bearing in mind for only a fiver more one could have seen the 3rd highest team in Scotland in the same round of the cup.

I believe its the SFA that sets the prices/pricing guidlines tho.

**NOLA** · 17-01-2010 08:59 PM

come on Edinburgh City! i want a real Derby at ER, Meadowbank to Easter Road is what 2 miles?

***MacBean*** · 17-01-2010 09:00 PM

In case anyone needs second backing it DEFINATELY is £5 concessions and £10 adult prices.

true...but it'll not be at my expense.

I'll gladly pay if they win and take us to a replay......

nb.

they are 2/1 at home to the worst team in Scotland's professional(?) leagues, so think my tenners safe.

Might take up some of that !! Where about ?

**Dashing Bob S** · 17-01-2010 09:19 PM

This is one of these games that it always seems a good idea to go along to. It's a cup tie, in a different environment, a non-league local side, and you would be supporting the game at a grass roots level both in Edinburgh and nationally.

But the reality is that it'll probably be a cold and boring evening.

I might go however, as I always end up being convinced by the romance of it all, and it's inevitably a mistake.

Would be great for City to go through! One of my mates plays for them, would be hillarious to see him playing at Easter Road!

What's the hospitality like at Meadowbank?

The catering?

The toilets...

Wouldn't they make more money by getting more folk through the gate if they keep their prices static? £10 to watch a bunch of boys from AEGON, the Post Office and Standard Life play against some folk from Scottish Widows, the Royal Bank and Scottish Gas just doesn't seem a fair price.

No offence to any of the organisations mentioned - just trying to get a point across.
