Reviving the cup

[Shuntz]

TV has ruined football for me .
Most of us have English teams that can fund players thanks to Sky money who throw us a pittance .

Our club has ruined the match day experience at Dens and I’m as likely to go to a junior game as a home cup game these days.

Away games still brilliant on the whole purely due to the bus banter and alcohol .

the sfa should have taken severe action when celtic and rangers started to devalue the competition by fielding weakened teams,actually utd benefited the year they won the cup by rangers fielding a weakened team at the dump iirc

Is it not possible to create the bus banter and alcohol atmosphere for a home game? Shaded had a suggestion to try to sell out the SE. Not sure how the particular bus that you are talking about works, or where you all sit in Dens but maybe there might be mileage in seeing if a local pub would do something special if there was a bus load of supporters wanting to meet up before Dens. Apologies if this is a rubbish idea. Might be something that should be considered for cup games. Social media seems to be able to help to get people together. Might there be merit in trying a 12 noon meeting time in a favourite pub for all your bus chums?
