That'll do wonders for the size of the away support...

Aww naw, I'd booked a flight and everything.

I hate when that happens. 

[shull]

The away support would be a lot less  if it was on BBC Alba.

If United are up competing at the Top , which I doubt . they will bring a decent crowd.

I have to say....it suits me. I like a Friday evening fixture. Not everyone does, I know.

They were competing last season and brought next to nobody. They took f**k all to the irn bru final too. The majority of Dundee (both clubs) fans go to see whichever club is at home.

The majority of Dundee , like the majority of Paisley  support Celtic & Sevco.

 No chance lots of United fans are going to pay 20 quid to attend a Dundee match at Dens Park and vice versa.

This would happen over 40 years ago when admission prices were pennies.

Wow, as the attendance was over 8,000 we, despite many saying this competition is a waste of space, really turned out for this cup final.

Don't ruin the drama.

I appplaud this rescheduling. Mainly coz I wasnae planning on coming up for it and a wee Friday night bevvy session wi Jimmy H will do nicely. Call me fickle. 

[davidg]

Pleased with this, I'll now make the Toon game that weekend as well.

I'm happy with this for selfish reasons.

I don't like taking the wee man through Glasgow on an Old Firm day - and that is now avoided. Also, it may mean that a lot of numpties and troublemakers will be keeping their powder dry for Saturday so things may be a wee bit quieter than normal on the Friday.

Also - my brother has switched my dad's broadband to BT  (including BT Sport) so he will be able to see his first Saints game with English commentary since the 2013 Cup Final!

Hopefully the crowd isn't hit too bad and the compensation from BT is a bit higher than that from BBC Alba.

How does money from BT Sports goes with us in the lower league ? Do we get cash from them or do all the lower league teams get a share ? 

[DougJamie]

Probably get shot down in flames but my understanding was a Flat Fee of £70k

Sorry Renfrew - don't know. I would hope that the actual teams would get something - albeit a lot less than premiership teams.

Just for cup games I think.

They do indeed but unfortunately they're not allowed to leave Dundee with their tags on.

McGowan was. 

[East Lothian Saint]

Booked three hotel rooms in Paisley for this one. (Not all for me) Feck between this and staying over for the Morton Game on the 2nd Jan  I can almost count myself as a Paisley resident that week. Either that or claim I'm on my holidays.  Feck imagine going to Feegie for your holidays.  Whit's the world coming to.

I'm closing the shop for three weeks from 30th Dec for three weeks so checking what games I can attend unfortunately just missing this game but absolutely delighted it's on TV.
