I assume this won't be broadcast only highlights? 

@The Dude Saying it's the 3pm blackout. Makes you wonder why they didn't move it ko timewise?

BBC Alba wanted to show a different game and the SPFL wanted all three other quarters to take place on the Saturday afternoon. The last round saw us play Solihull three or four weeks after the rest of the games were played and they were keen to avoid that happening this time so they can organise the semis.

I think folk are being a bit unrealistic as to what would be a good crowd for this as it is still a youth game at the end of the day.

5-10k would be a good crowd, expecting 20-30k is unrealistic IMO. 

Seen 8k at a midweek youth OF cup game.

If Rangers promoted it a bit more it would be helpful. I've not even had an email about it ffs.

So match scheduling beat TV money? 

Got to be a first...

Not even comparable tbf

I know, but nothing else is. 

I don't see why we couldn't get a decent crowd for this. Ibrox 3pm on a Saturday when theres no league football on tv. 500 coming up from Wrexham, so their fans seem to be keen. Why wouldn't ours...

How much do you think Alba pay for this cup ffs? 😂😂

Obviously not much, but how much do the the SFA (or whoever it goes to) bring in? 

The game is already paid for, why not jump at the chance to promote the cup and Scottish football in general? 

Doesn't make sense to me.

No. BBC Alba's contract allows them to show one game. They only wanted to show one game and are showing one game. Nobody else has shown any wish to show it live and afaik, the club have no interest or desire to do so either.

1 game in total, or 1 game per round? I'm guessing it's the former going by what you said about them all being on at the same time?
