Topic: Who do we want in the semi?

Rusty Shackleford, Sun 8 Mar 12:38

wee eck, Sun 8 Mar 12:16

How much have we earned in prize money by getting to the SF and aren`t the gate receipts for both ties pooled and split four ways? We`ve been missing out on `windfalls` like this for too long. This will have been part of Bord`s calculations in investing in the club.


If you lose in the semi you get an exit fee and TV fee. We`ll get around a quarter of a million quid for that. Plus a quarter of the gate receipts minus costs. I`d say you`re looking at half a million.

Double that if we reach the final


A quarter of the gate receipts for both semis, not just ours.

A good chunk of that £1.7m loss posted for last year could be put right.

This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

Don’t care who we get in the semi. The project is making great progress though.

St Mirren then the Tims in the final. We owe them.

St Mirren in semi and Celtic in final like 1961! With the same end result

Doesn`t really bother me, bring em on.

Best thing about the draw is we can`t draw Dunfermline, looks like their name is on the cup.

I`d obviously like us to have the best possible chance of getting to to the final, so it`s the winner of St Mirren v Partick for me.

It is a 1 in 3 chance, so we will likely get Celtic 🤣😬

Anyone other than Celtic.

Celtic looked awful today but they will surely improve.

Anyone other than Celtic for me as well.

We’ve played excellent in the cup, not taking anything away from the team, fantastic, however we’ve been fortunate to play all our games at home and away at Hampden will be a different kettle of fish.

I’d rather have Celtic in the final or hope another team puts them out.

Ideally would like Partick, better the devil you know and all that.

I am one of those who believe Hampden should be for finals only and not used for semi finals as it dilutes the achievement of getting to a final. However I will happily be there to back the Pars but imagine the atmosphere of a Falkirk Dunfermline semi at Tynecastle or Easter Road !!
