If you count European Cup competitions, St.Mirren has the highest win percentage of cup wins for the 2016/2017 season.....IN THE WORLD. Cannae argue with that....

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hope the game is in Livingston all round stadium with bars. The stadium could be filled. Tynecastle or Easter Road are too big. Falkirk three stands would not feel like a cup final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Monkey Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 This game was my boy Archie's first taste of St Mirren. He's only 11 months old, but was screaming for Storie to get hooked at half time, and I've taught him to boo. He now has a 100% win record, so I might need to start getting on the road with him.

So it won't be there then I do agree however that the two E`Boro grounds are too big. theres no way we would fill either ground. Dundee Utd have been to one challenge cup final , played only 25 miles from them at Mcdiarmid park against the mighty Stenhousmuir and they couldnt break the 8000 barrier. Weve managed crowds of 13600 & 9500 in our two finals . I would still go with East end park . 10000 crowd in an 11500 ground would be a great atmosphere. Dead easy to divvy up the seating allocation , their fans arrive from the M9 in the east and take that side, we arrive from the west & have that side. No brainer.

BBC Alba showed the last few finals with Sunday 3pm kick offs if we have to play Saturday because of Scotland game don't really see Alba being at fault if it's a 5.15 kick off as isn't there some sort of rule above no live games between 3&5 in UK on a Saturday??? So what was Alba excuse for a 4-10 K/O yesterday ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on when we played them last month , i know what you mean. But if you remember , it was frosty and the pitch still has patches of snow / ice on it which didnt help. Cant comment on the Easter road pitch as i havent seen it lately, but my point with the ground remains , its just too big. Tynecastle & Firhill have both been mentioned , neither have a reputation for Billiard table surfaces and i suppose late march nowhere is going to be pristine. My argument for EEP is based on the points i laid out previously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was even worse for the Hamilton Scottish Cup tie, the goalies were up to their ankles in mud and they had tried sanding the goalmouths.

portmahomack saint Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Hope they get the venue sorted today (fir park or east end park) We need to stick this final on the back burner, was a great 2nd half performance, but I thought TNS were a very poor team who scored a great goal, can barely remember them getting in our box once I think in 90mins, This Saturday our new look defence will tested a lot more (hopefully am wrong) confidence has improved no doubt about that, winning this game will be massive, and could save our season and Ayr will know that too, and they will fancy their chances, This game is much bigger than the cup final, so get that big flag ready for this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanleySaint Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Just home as stayed over in Paisley last night, really enjoyed the atmosphere in the west stand, not such a daft decision to close the stands behind the goals after all. McGinn was superb as everyone has been saying and Morgan's impact was obvious, only gripe was that with the airport parking thing going tits up l thought I'd be able to pay to park in the carpark, another opportunity to raise some cash gone begging.

That's the problem with them. Everybody gets mess about since they start broadcasting so late in the day. Was our other 2 finals shown live on tv and what were the K/O times ?
