pub car king Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) We have roughly 1100 ST holders and 3 games at about 380 tickets. Could they draw all 3 games at once which would mean every season ticket holder gets a ticket for 1 match. Fans could then trade tickets amongst themselves if you can't make your own match nut can make someone else's. Or draw game 1 then leave everyone else in for a week then draw game 2 and what's left after that gets game 3 Edited December 23, 2021 by pub car king . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I can’t believe lower league clubs decided to crack on with the 500 rather than just pause for a few weeks. If we’re going to go behind closed doors the clubs will get very little income anyway, why not just do a 3 week shut down? We’ve got every midweek between now and fuxking June to play the games. Insane decision. Don't kid yourself to think this is just a 3 week limited crowd. The lower league clubs have got wee jeanie Krankie sussed out already. -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 John Swinney has already been in the press saying they've chosen 500 because "they want to be seen as being firm". It's all bollocks. All the clubs deserve credit for trying to find a resolution as quick as possible for this. The solution we've offered is as fair as you can get. All clubs deserve credit.

raith1974 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This better not be any longer than 3 weeks. All evidence now points to being mild and nothing more than a cold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 1500 season ticket holders? Either a number of them are not turning up or we've got a poor uptake on non season ticket holders coming to games. Realistically every season ticket holder should get option to attend one of the three games during the reduced capacity period. Could they not have assigned each season ticket holder to a specific game rather than have situation where someone could potentially be lucky enough to get to all three? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Swinney has proved one thing without doubt over these past few years- that he is clearly no very bright. Before anyone thinks I am being political- I wouldnt hire any of the leaders of any of the political parties. Back to the fitba, restricting to 500 cannot make any economic sense- so clubs that are willing to do it are clearly doing it for a higher purpose and should be commended. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's over 1500 season ticket holders, so even assigning every ticket holder to one game each means that you'd still have people that would miss out. No matter what option the club picked to deal with this there's always going to be somebody who would complain about it, especially with the derby game which everybody is going to want to get to. Although you'd think we're surely looking at the possibility of moving the derby game if possible, get a big crowd for that and it's more money in the bank for McGlynn to use in the transfer window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When did we get over 1500 season tickets. I thought we were closer to 1100 before half price season tickets went on sale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did find a twitter post from the end of July saying that we were at over 1,200 season tickets at that point. So guessing whatever they sold after that plus the half season ticket sales must have taken us over the 1,500 mark.

Rovers_Lad Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Every season ticket holder isnt going to register for the games so there shouldn,t be a major issue Register once for the block of fixtures and take whatever game allocated via the ballot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Probably the fairest way they could do it. Will be putting in for all three as being in the ground far preferable to watching a stream. Fingers crossed 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ro Sham Bo Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 (edited) I can't say that a midweek match between Christmas and New Year was particularly appealing so not too disappointed by that. Maybe we'll be able to get a better crowd in by the time it's played. Edited December 24, 2021 by Ro Sham Bo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 I see that Kilmarnock and Ayr have asked for their derby to be postponed to later to potentially allow a crowd. Any chance of us and Dunfermline asking for the same if it's allowed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakngravy Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Yes something like that being allowed doesn't happen when the blazers are involved, it's to much like common sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
