From the club website: Albion Rovers can today confirm ticketing arrangements for our upcoming Scottish Gas Men’s Scottish Cup first round tie against Auchinleck Talbot. We host Tommy Sloan’s West of Scotland Premier Division title-chasers on Saturday, September 28, with kick-off at 3pm. And with a big crowd expected at The Reigart Stadium, the club has decided to make admission on the day CASH ONLY with no card payment option available at the ground. Instead, those wishing to pay by card can do so digitally beforehand via Ticket Tailor. You will be sent a digital QR code which acts as a match ticket – so please remember to print it off or have it ready and available on your phone. We would ask supporters to buy in advance as this will help the club gauge interest and allow us to make the best preparations possible for what is set to be a cracking cup tie. Tickets have been set at our normal league pricing structure, with a £1 booking fee for each individual ticket to cover additional fees incurred. Pricing is as follows: Adults – £11 | Concessions – £6 | Under-14s – £3. Please purchase the correct ticket (home fan or away fan) – taking into account the eligibility for concessions and the need for an adult to accompany those under the age of 16. Buy your tickets here!

If Auchinleck are anything like the team that reached many a junior cup final then we are in trouble. I'll go for 3-0 to Auchinleck and hope it's the catalyst for Clark clearing off.

Well, I will be hoping my team wins. Auchinleck look like world beaters with their defeat to Lossiemouth JUNIORS a few weeks ago for sure. I was just watching the highlights of their loss at Largs yesterday. A very small crowd for a local derby. Obviously, the 'huge Auchinleck support' were saving their cash for Cliftonhill...

I always hope they win but week after week we see insipid, negative drivel and sometimes it needs something to make what the club needs happen. It happened in the ill-fated Brogan era with an embarrassing cup defeat and perhaps it needs to happen again.

It happened in the ill-fated Brogan era with an embarrassing cup defeat and perhaps it needs to happen again. The current set up does not resemble the Brogan brief tenure in any way, shape or form. Last seven matches, won 4, drew 2, lost 1. For 22, against 9. Not perfect, but hardly negative. Just my opinion mind.

I get that the record looks good but the reality of wins against teams leagues below us in diddy cups and drawing and losing against bottom of the league fodder like Saturday (we were lucky). It's dreadful to watch and better players sit on the bench while he plays his pals. Times up for me. Just my opinion of course!

It’s not quite as bad as the brogan stint but we are playing at a lower level now and like Jimbo says, some of these wins have been against teams that resemble something from a Sunday morning down the old espieside. Not sure it’s gonna build confidence either highlighting that Auchinleck have been gubbed off a few nothing teams either cause that’s just going to rub salt in the wounds when we more than likely fail to turn up again this week.

I honestly wouldn't read anything into the recent form of Auchinleck.
Biggest surprise for me will be if we are still in the Cup at the end of the game.
We really cannot afford not to win this. It's hard to see what will keep the fans engaged if we exit this one.

I'm ignoring both teams form. It's irrelevant in a one off cup tie.

Rovers are 21/10 to win tomorrow, Talbot are 8/13 and the draw is 4/1.
Our odds seem pretty generous.
