MacK1950 2,399 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks Coop I will have to think hard on home games as these nights are when I have something else on probably go to one of them. Just annoying that I will be charged for them as the only carrot as you say is chance to see new players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,429 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 As expected, they took nearly a week to carve up the fixtures for us. If you started with a sheet of paper and those 4 opponents and your task was to make the fixtures as unattractive as possible to ensure we earn the least amount possible from this format, I reckon you couldn't have done a better job than what they have done. Congrats SPFL, Job done. Thankfully I am on a Baltic cruise and will miss the first three games. This saves me from attending Fir Park. Crowds will be dreadful for our two home games, be lucky to hit 20K I reckon. At that time of year we struggled to get more than 25K for a Euro qualifier, so a group cup tie v Stranraer is not going to sell well. I will buy the tickets to give the money to the club, but I don't imagine we will be playing anything like our full strength team if we have already qualified for the last home match, so a reserve match v Annan won't be so attractive to many. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,429 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I should add that there is far more chance of me going to Annan at home than if we were playing a friendly against Barcelona at Ibrox as friendlies don't appeal to me at all, and haven't been to one for about a decade. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
