Disrespectful panel on s/sound. Why the fixation on the size of our crowds when there are other clubs with less number attending. Then talking about the cup draw saying Brora  will be disappointed to be playing Killie. This will be there biggest cup tie in there history.

Considering the weather and only 42 away fans, I was pleasantly surprised the attendance was just under 3600 think that's a decent turn out.

Agreed plus it was £20 which was a wee bit cheeky , perhaps B.B. was wanting the crowd to pay for his men  clearing the pitch :):)

They will be disappointed! They could've been drawn at Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers or Hearts...instead they get Killie.

Less money, less glamour. You may not like it, but it's fact.

Never made it yesterday, however I think the attendance yesterday was marvellous considering the following:

1) Ross County brought 50 folk - so it was basically all Killie fans

2) Weather has been honking

3) Season tickets not included

4) Not a particularly glamorous fixture

As mentioned above, that's almost a 1,000 increase from last year. If we can get a thousand fans back every year of Clarke's contract we'll be laughing!

Brora will be disappointed they are not playing a number of teams. They’ll be delighted to have drawn us though. There will still be a decent payday in it. Their manager will be keen to pit his wits against SC. Their players will fancy their chance as it’s a cup game and despite not being their first choice we are still a big scalp in this country

What a load of nonsense.

The panel said on a number of occasions how well Killie had been playing, and complemented us on the turnaround on and off the park under Steve Clarke. They also said that Killie v Brora would be one of the ties of the round. 

The crowd against County wasn't mentioned, all that was said is that Brora would have preferred financially a draw away to Rangers, Celtic, Aberdeen or Hearts as they'd receive more from gate receipts. That is surely inarguable? 

Tom English and Richard Gordon spoke to the Brora chairman during which all parties agreed that this was a great draw for them. There's plenty on Sportsound etc to get pissed about - this isn't one of them.

Do these clowns at Sportsound and the Daily Record who harp on about our supports, while giving other teams an easier ride, never see the irony in doing so when radio audiences and newspaper circulation are in massive decline? Maybe they ought to focus less on why Killie aren't drawing the crowds in (which is unfair, as any like for like comparison this season seems to show that crowds are up on previous years) and concentrate more on why people are tuning out of their rubbish?

Think the one who annoyed me most was Gordon Smith having a rant about our crowds. An Ayrshire hun! The problem in a nutshell!
