last time I went there the train station was in the middle of nowhere and needed to get a local bus to the ground.

The train station is a mere 10 minute walk to the ground with a few pubs en route.

The train station is in the town centre, you sure you got off at the right stop?

[DH1875]

If we'd have drawn Alloa would there be all this talk of getting the game moved? I don't think so and reckon it'll go ahead there as it should. Game had better be on the telly though.

Sorry to Iggy Pope for name calling yesterday. The post was ambiguous, but my response was childish.

Apologies.

Rules though. Surely if there’s an opportunity for a wee club to make big money they’ll see sense no matter if it’s us or United.
By the way I’m visiting Leigh next month for the Pete Shelley tribute gig. Is there really only two hotels?

There are a number of B & B’s that are fine for a night.

Can't see it being moved given Hibs Hearts and Rangers have all played games there recently and to be honest not sure it should be moved.

Agreed and as someone has rightly pointed out, if we had drawn Alloa away in the cup would anyone be calling for the game to be moved? Not at all.

The game will be played at Alloa regardless of whether it's us or Dundee Utd that get through.

Booked now, but ta.

[Hermit Crab]

Alloa holds 3100, there are 519 seats in the temp stand plus the terracing for away fans. We'll get 2000+ tickets. Plenty to go round for those that want one plus it will be a tv game imo.

Lets beat united first though.

The bottom end was demolished nearly forty years ago. Nothing wrong with that area now.

Still called "the bottom end", though. Well, it was when I used to live in Fishcross. It's nowhere near as bad as people make out, though.



Back to the draw: We're not through yet and beating United is still a big challenge.

They did say in advance that they were only interested in broadcast Rangers and Celtic games. No imagination but guaranteed viewers.

So if Hibs get through, presume we are looking at BBC on the Friday night, Saturday or Sunday teatime

We're at Ibrox on the preceding Wednesday (5th) so won't be the Friday, I don't think. Think Saturday or Sunday evening as you say Billy. Thought the Monday maybe, but we're at home to Ross County on Wed 12th so that precludes that. All IF we beat Dun Utd of course!

Forgot about the Rangers game, although my bank account hasn’t😜
As you say, let’s just win the replay

I don't subscribe to Premier Sports so I'm actually pretty happy they take the OF games out of contention so the BBC have to actually pick interesting ones.

One game will likely be a late kick off on the Saturday after 19:00 as I doubt they will want any game going against the Scotland v England match at Murrayfield.

Hopefully (if we beat United) the game will be on the Sunday.

Evening news saying its still not decided. They better hurry up and decide because no matter who gets through theres not much time to sort tickets and travel etc.

I can't see how they could change it to another ground.

EEN saying they might switch it to maximise return in ticket sales.
