6,600 (861 seated) according to Wikipedia.

I looked on Scottish ground guides so guess could be wrong.

That’s a terrible draw IMO.

You're surely not being serious ?

It's hardly a terrible draw. It could have been better but it's not Celtic, Rangers, Hearts or Aberdeen away. All of those would have been terrible.

If we're on our game Arbroath away should never be classed as a terrible draw.

Any draw down the league is decent

Not this one. Gayfield is a tough place to play at the best of times, but against a team with nothing to lose and in incredible form, particularly if the winds off the North Sea are up, that’s an awful draw. No pressure on them and expectation completely on us.

Would you have preferred the old firm away instead. 🙈🤣

***Barney McGrew*** · 22-01-2022 06:49 PM

It’ll be a lot tougher than a lot of people expect - they’ve not been beaten at home since July.

For those that haven’t had the pleasure of a visit to Garfield before, the ground/wind will be a real leveller.

**nickwhibs** · 22-01-2022 06:49 PM

Happy with that. Tough but winnable draw and good away trip

Confident of a win.

Me too. We should never be losing to teams in a lower division.

**Pete** · 22-01-2022 06:50 PM

They're a lower league team and home or away, we should have too much for them.

Pleased with that draw.

Christ that’s a bit OTT. A tough game but terrible? Never in a million years

**GreenCastle** · 22-01-2022 06:51 PM

Arbroath haven’t lost at home since August 2021.

***marinello59*** · 22-01-2022 06:52 PM

We should have nothing to fear there, it’s a cracking draw. Delighted with this one.

They aren’t up against much in the championship, quality’s dross in that league this season

We’ll see. I’ve seen them a couple of times this season and quite honestly they could draw any team in the competition at home and they could be a cup upset in waiting for literally anyone.

This will be a massively difficult game against a team who as a rule don’t lose at home.

Good record, but have they played anyone above championship level?

I agree. It will be a game for our experienced players

Brings back SC memories as a 14 year old playing Arbroath up there. Enjoyed the trip going on the supporters bus from the local pub which formally the Willie Muir in Granton. Didn't enjoy the replay which was played on the following Wednesday though.

Our cup record is excellent, home and away. Nothing at all to fear, think folk are still in Cove 'mourning' here

Aye a difficult game not debating that but “terrible draw” is over the top/very dramatic

They’re doing well but I’ll never view a tie against a part time side as a terrible draw. Celtic or Rangers away would have been a terrible draw, no this.

Had my stag do in there

***Carheenlea*** · 22-01-2022 06:56 PM

Great draw.

Cracking away day to an old school ground and a shortish trip to north to the seaside. Has the makings of a good tie.

Again, we’ll see. But outwith the old firm, Arbroath away for me is the one I wanted to avoid.

Pretty sure we'll be one of the BBC live games with premier sports taking the Celtc and Sevco games as always.

We are away to Rangers Wed 9th Feb so no Thursday or Friday game for us.

Maybe a Monday night game...

It looks like Premier like to be the last game so they can do the draw after it so it’ll probably be Saturday or Sunday lunchtime

**Pete** · 22-01-2022 06:57 PM

In hearing the club are giving priority to those who attended the Cove match.
Those who couldn't be bothered will have to watch this one on TV, or listen to biscuits and his mates
