Surprisingly the £200k covid insurance money hasn’t been spent on strengthening the squad. The yearly balance sheets will make interesting reading as to where this has gone.

With the new season ticket prices announced then I’d be expecting some good quality signings unfortunately for myself I won’t be returning to see them. been a season ticket holder for 15yrs but not anymore . £290 for me £50 for my son simply can’t be justified for League 2 football. I know some u16’s are free when affiliated to the club but similar to other parents, children can have multiple hobbies & after school clubs. I’ve only seen a few other clubs ST prices & East Fife are far higher than the few I’ve seen so far. As a community club then i thought the club would’ve shown some loyalty to the supporters that raised thousands of pounds during covid. Rumour has it that East Fife were 1 of only a handful of clubs to receive a substantial pandemic insurance payout but regardless if there’s any truth in this or not the club should be looking after the fans during these hard times & not pricing them away from the game .

Week 3 Celtic

Was only the other week you were saying there’ll be 10 sell outs this season

Some fans might only be able to afford PATG for 10 games or so a season & cant afford a season ticket

If the club introduced a loyalty card for a small fee (£2/£5 etc) which was stamped whilst going through the turnstiles then loyal PATG punters would be then be entitled to a cup ticket after ST/SC members, thus greatly reducing the numbers of tickets, if any, to go on general sale.

Every ticket allocated has a seat number & row, if any rangers fans are caught in the home end & they received a +1 from a ST/SC member then that member should be named & shamed

Bayviewboy gave 2 excellent suggestions, a loyalty card for PATG punters that can be stamped, hardly going ‘cost a fortune’ These are merely suggestions for future cup games as East Fife are always going to have to play a less glamorous cup game or 2 before they have a chance of drawing a seeded club in a cup so why not reward the PATG punter for attending previous rounds or League games

Who mentioned anything about winning a group?

Hardly rocket science, 1 game was PATG so you collect a voucher at the turnstile & any ticket game you keep your ticket stub. Preference would then be for your average PATG punter who attends regularly rather than a ST/SC’s +1 who’s only attending for the one off big game

There’s always 2 Home games in the Betfred section, in the event of qualifying for the next round then priority should be for ST holders, SC members & those that attended the previous 2 home games if any tickets are remaining then ST/SC can have a +1 purchase.

Week 1 Aberdeen Week 2 Rangers

I’m all for optimism but I’m not sure where you’re getting 9 all ticket games from. Last season both Derby games weren’t sold out , East Fife have played Motherwell & St Mirren in the cups at Bayview with both falling well short of capacity. So yes a season ticket will guarantee you a ticket for the Rangers game but it’s hardly needed for entry to other games.

Week 1 - Aberdeen

Any official figures regarding season ticket sales from any Lge 1 clubs ?
