    Arbroath in the challenge cup

    Wrong idea to not have ETL open, this was open in previous years and helped the atmosphere a tad especially late in the games, can remember Peterhead being not bad (3-2 aet andreu header) and the games v linfield and crusaders... Can't stand the GFL... was terrible in the betfred having only that open as an option,and not just because of the east fife game

    Should be middle sections of the GFL and the ETL available imo

    Why would they open 2 stands when 1 is enough?

    I'd open the stand that costs the least to operate.

    I’d ditch the entire pointless competition in the first place.

    I've made it clear why above, the experience of Tannadice with just the GFL is god awful, there was zero atmosphere, in previous years there was at least a bit of noise behind the goal especially when those games got into the latter stages, the players will prefer it too.

    I'd rather have 3000-4000 with 1000 in the ETL (which holds 2k) than just 2500 or whatever in the GFL as less week go with that setup.

    Should be walk up ETL, tenner to get in.

    How many fans are you seriously expecting to attend? Bearing in mind this is a glorified reserve Cup.

    I’m afraid I agree. Which ever stand is cheapest - have it open.

    More than anything don’t risk any first teamers or waste any mental or physical energy on this cup.

    Hopefully this will be last season we are in this competition

    Just wondering what the players reaction will be to a couple of hundred supporters turning up to this game. Robbie said there will not be wholesale changes in this game, but if 6-8 of the first team roll out, i hope there is not a negative reaction.
