Senor Bairn Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Bobby, Bobby, Bobby, m9. Im a neutral at this game. Neither an Arab nor a, whatever you call Falkirk fans these days. I'll take the fair weathered ratboy comment as a compliment though. I believe we're nicknamed Sexy c***s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Which brings you back to the fact that this game should never in a million years be all ticket. All ticket isn't totally true. You can rock up to the ticket office across the road tomorrow night at 7.40pm and get one. Probably be a cash gate in the Jerry Kerr again too. 4000 sold before Morton and attendance was actually 6800 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedLoon63 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 McKinnon better stick with 4-4-2 and not go back to shite 4-2-3-1. Andreu is wasted right midfield, but Murray and Mikkelson together up front is more effective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambino7 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Falkirk to win over 2 legs then lose to Hamilton. That's what I hope happens anyway, although the Arabs keeping Houston down will be comical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it actually ever been explained why it is all ticket? It is a disgrace that it is but there must be some (hopefully) logical reason as to why? Policing/stewarding costs? Some way of trying to dodge the gate money split so that we get a little more than we should? It can't just be the fact that it is yet another Scottish football club making it as awkward as possible for people to go and enjoy a game of football surely? I would hope that by kick off we would have sold 6500ish with 1500 or so Falkirk fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not as if we have wonderful TV rights deals that makes non attendance of punters irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of queuing at the gate, you go across the road and do it, get your ticket, cross the road and go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your an away fan your left having to get a ticket on a weekday between 9 and 5 which is difficult for a lot of people who have to work unfortunately.

What happens if more people turn up than the away allocation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a ground holding 15000 there's loads of room for everyone for christs sake. I'll be amazed if theirs 8000 tops at the game.No need for people to have to pre buy tickets for the home or away ends. If you need to buy a ticket from a cabin before entering then fair enough but no need for people to buy tickets in advance unless they really want to.. You asked how that makes things difficult and surely that answers your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three main stands in use will all get close to or exceed that figure and so there would be no option. There may be a cash gate for the Jerry Kerr and Shed if these are opened.

1320Lichtie Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 But there will be people who may not be able to go and get a ticket. So what else do you propose? I genuinely cannot see the problem here. Initially someone said it's a joke it's all ticket because only 5500 home tickets have been sold, I was only explaining that it's really not a problem for people buying home tickets. As far as the away allocation goes it's obviously been set to try and help United by making sure Falkirk don't have too much of a big noisy away support. Perfectly understandable. So when they've set the away ticket allocation what else were they supposed to do? Maybe Falkirk could've stayed open later a few nights or even set up a stand in Dundee for an hour or 2 and let people buy over the phone/pick up on the night. Done this for Scotland games. Also had to send my granny down to Gayfield before when we've had a set amount of away tickets available for games at Ibrox for example. Just par for the course surely?
