Dunfermline v The Scottish Cup holders

[Elgindon]

There was far more at the Dee game than the 'Well game,I'd say over 15k inside the ground v Dee

I tried to book the supporters bus, logged on at the appropriate time - 5pm yesterday - but by the time I'd scrolled through the steps (say 1 minute) found out it was already sold out.  It's as if some had had a head start.  So looks like the train and B&B as there aren't any trains back until Sunday.

It’s also a 6 nations weekend in Edinburgh so not much in the way of accommodation on the go.

About that probably, yes. Dundee game was a special freebie tickets galore occasion wasn't it?

Motherwell game being midweek didn't help. Mealers are less likely to journey into the big smoke on a dark Wednesday night in winter. That partly explains it but I'd agree that the domestic cup just isn't what it once was. It's the same story with the FA Cup in England. Not really sure why that should be.

Was it not 500 freebies to youngsters in Upper RDS only? Maybe not....

The east section of the main stand (what Hibs got) isn't on sale to either support yet. Likely Dunfermline waiting to see how home sales go first.

So every chance we get extra tickets.

They've got a shit support if we do get extras.

Really looking forward to this one.

Potentially the last chance we get this season to load up on beer and stand in the ever present forest of expectation, just for a moment. COYR.
