Rangers v Falkirk attendance is looking much better.....

[Scodamcdoda 38]

Wish I could go I'm still paying off the debt !!!! I'll be there in spirit in we trust

[Gers1690 194]

It's a midweek cup game... whether you're hovering in Division 3 or just been crowned Champions of the Premier League, it's always going to be a lower attendance than league fixtures.

Even clubs like Liverpool; Man Utd; Arsenal etc don't sell out midweek cup games - and considering half the cash goes to Falkirk it's pretty understandable anyway.

Man Utd home to Wolves in the carling cup two years ago, a 'pathetic' 46,000 turned up; last year only 52,000 saw Utd lose to Crystal Palace in the carling cup. Liverpool-Northampton a few years ago, only 22,000...

Gunning for a sellout only looks pathetic for ourselves, cos it weren't too long ago we only brought 23,000 to Ibrox to see us play Dunfermline in the league cup; or only 13,000 to play Kilmarnock in the Scottish Cup.

The League is what matters... midweek cup fixtures certainly don't.

Only a couple of people have talked about a sell-out - of course that's unrealistic.

But 30,000 plus isn't.

Is it right that I was charged £15(well £16.80 incl booking fee) to have my smartcard activated for Thursday?

[Smile 26,610]

No we won't. Not against Falkirk and i can't see it for Elgin either. The hype will calm down and fans will soon vote with their feet.

You seem Gutted we can still get big Crowds, Why is that.

Behave.

[stevenray201 28]

I hope it gets close to 45k. I would go if it didnt cost $1330 for a round trip flight.

I just have to be content with living vicariously thru others.

Subway shut = Pub crawl back to the toon.

It's not shut mate.

It's funny how people would always make time for a CL night or a midweek Mhanky mob game.

a lot of people took holidays/time of work to go to those games but for some reason they dont feel the same urge to take time of to go to this match

[Captain Hilts 12,819]

just had a look at the stadium plan. still loads of tickets left. can see this becoming pay at the gate like the East Fife game

[54andcounting 627]

A night game will always effect the size of the crowed particularly a "school night" I have two youg boys and both are ST holders but, I will only be taking my older boy as we will not get back home until about 11pm, I still bet you that we will get more at this game than was at all the weekend SPL matches.

What about if it was a champions league night. Never effected the crowd on a "school night" then?

Did for me, only one of my boys were able to go, you should have see the it caused!

[docspiderman 1,228]

Midweek league cup games have always been poorly attended for years with the exception of one game against the scum.

Low 20k for many of these matches so it would be unrealistic to expect anywhere near the one off show of defiance which powered the attendance at the East Fife game.

never ment you just talking about it never effected the crowd size.

I know Bud, Just don't want to go through that again, even steven seagal would not have been able to separate them!

[papaguy51 912]

No doubt a combination of people being sick of the sight of Falkirk and being slightly concerned at our prehistoric brand of football.

I'll still be there, pretty sure it'll be busy enough.

[stevenray201 28]

IMO this match is more important than any Champions league tie at this point. Every spin of the turnstile

gets the club on firmer ground.

[bump 168]

got 2 tickets for thursdays game and looking forward to it and hope its about 30,000.

cant make it this sunday due to work but that life

Can imagine it, I would have been seething and moaning until the next game

[wullyRFC 5,230]

Are we really going to compare every single midweek cup game we play against diddy teams with a CL game?

[blooberr 16]

I'm not a wee wank, Dennis - I'll wager I'm at least as big a wank as you!

I'm not moaning - I'm doing what I can to make sure my club makes as much money as possible. Is that so wrong?

Never saw you at berwick,brechin,peterhead i hate part timers with attitude

Well you weren't looking very hard. Only game I've missed this season was Peterhead (I was working). Even made the Hawick game.

Unless we start winning and playing entertaining fitba

[WaltersGotStyle 160]

I will hopefully be there, not got my ticket yet though.

Cup games mean everything to us this season.
