overthetop Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Devine is suspended. Means we'll have to wedge someone into a back 3 or play with barton and keown as CBs. Not ideal. I know it's an artificial pitch but the forecast isn't looking great. Thistle tweeted 40 away tickets left an hour or so ago so it'll sell out. So Queens are going to be turning away potential income by not giving Partick sufficient tickets. Definitely away fans in home areas on Saturday then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thistledo Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Jags Twitter saying we've sold out now. Awaiting to hear if we're getting any more tomorrow. Decent effort from us I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 Crazy if QotS don't sort out some contingency for away fans. They bent over backwards for Linfield the other year in the Diddy cup. My main concern regarding the actual game is we haven't won a ducking away match since the 8 August 2017 and that was in the League Cup away to the Saintees.

Reid Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Us Thistle fans being treated disgracefully here. Part-time village teams like Queen of the South should be playing in the Juniors if this is how the organise one of the biggest games in their history.

They bent over backwards for Linfield the other year in the Diddy cup. That’s a good point. The terracing was open for them and they only brought about 1,000 or so. No worries about the cost of hiring bogs for them. Btw, under Scottish Cup rules, could Thistle not have insisted on up to 20%, which I think is about 1,700?

I’d imagine it’ll all be down to costs and the scaffolding around both floodlights. A health and safety issue perhaps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly the aforementioned St Johnstone game? In the league it's even longer. Cup red cards? Well Devine is serving a suspension carried over from last season's quarter final at Aberdeen.

Monkey Tennis Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 So we're limiting the number of Thistle fans able to attend a ground that will be 75% empty? Meanwhile, the big advertising board outside the ground continues to tell passers by that our next home match is against Brechin on the 27th. It's against this background that we apparently get SLO noises about the huge financial significance of this tie. Poor stuff all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightmare Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We're due a Collum clanger in one of our games. For all the criticism he frequently gets for ridiculous decisions, I've always thought he's been alright in Thistle games and can't remember one where he's ruined it for either side. ^tempting fate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that means the entire stand then so be it.Thistle themselves regularly vacate their favoured home stand to accommodate the Old Firm legions.It is not as though the Dumfries public will be creating an unexpected run on the tickets.

Ideally, we'd be opening the terracing, but there seems a reluctance to do that very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
