Premier Sports Cup.

[Melbourne Saint]

I thought it was 5-0, but I lost consciousness after 3-0. The most depressing night of my life 

[Linky]

Tonight's results are quite useful for us. Everyone seems to be getting points from everyone else. Definitely need to step up on Saturday though

[Cagey]

Away to Rangers who would have thought. At least we should get a few bob with half the crowd and on TV.

And a trip to Hampden.

Decent draw, all told. You get the money, you get a "free hit" which is great as this confidence sapped club really need have as few disappointments during the season as possible, and Rangers look sketchy enough defensively that Sidibeh/Kimpioka should feel confident of having chances.

Very likely on tv for which we get £18,000.

In the unlikely event we get knocked out our prize money is £60,000.

So minimum is £78,000 plus share of the gate.

Its a neutral ground and Rangers have a European tie on the 13th of August.

I think we can bank £250,000 from this and move on to playing Spartans in thd quarter final.

I don't think it will be anything like £250k. Rangers fans don't turn up for the early stages of the diddy cup especially if it's not at Ibrox. Be lucky if they got a crowd of 20 thousand.

They got ~39k for a home tie against Morton at this stage last year, but that was at Ibrox.

I’m the same 30000 @£20 is £600,000,less their 15%,£90,000,that would leave £510,000 split between the teams,seems highly likely we’ll earn at least your £250,000 Gus 💙

Saturday teatime, crowd will be nearer 40,000 than 30,000.

Massive money spinner for saints.

Cup shock on the cards.

With tickets only £20 and Rangers fans unhappy after tonight , can't see the tie giving us £250 K.

What’s our allocation ?

Rangers forum reckon they've only sold around 16k tickets so far, and it'll potentially reach 20-25k at most, with the actual attendance being lower than what's announced.

Could easily see Hampden not even being half full for this.

Whatever we get £ wise is a bonus in my eyes for the clubs coffers.

So there relying on us to make up the small crowd.

I was hopeful of about £250k but in the cold light of day, and the apathy of the Rangers support, it won't be anywhere near that. Average ticket price would only be about £15 ish for a start.

We’re due 90 grand before a ball is kicked! I’d be surprised if we don’t make 250 grand out of it
