As much as I dislike Rangers or Celtic and all the baggage that come with, if £20 is plenty for us, then it should be for them too. Maybe a suggestion is that in order for the ticket prices to remain low, the visiting club (who's fan base mean higher police costs) should foot the difference in police cost or at least a portion of it. Better still, self police and less police presence required overall. What should be noteworthy in the media is that Rangers and Celtic league games are the cheapest home ticket for Saints.

perthsaint1977 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Should charge both sets of the old firm 50+ quid a pop. The carnage and cost caused by them coming the stadium is of the scale. They are lucky SJFC and no doubt other clubs don't highlight the damage to the stadium (seats/toilets vandalized etc) plus the behaviour of their fans towards actual staff/stewards etc. I have been spat on, bitten, punched, kneed in the back over the years doing turnstiles and walking back to the office, then we also the kiosk staff ( normally young girls) who have had some horrendous stuff to deal with. Greatest fans in the world, my arse!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yes get this sympathising with OF fans to f**k. Milk them for every penny. They act like scumbags and cost us money so they can pay through the nose to visit McDiarmid. Supply and demand; Celtic end tickets will be far more in demand than Saints end ones, so they should cost more. Plus both OF sides charge Saints fans more through there, so why should we offer it any cheaper? With any luck they’ll boycott the game… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Aye the Old Firm fans would rather gloat about how many fans they have than try and push for sensible pricing, so just charge them anything you want. Theyre apparently far better fans than everyone else because they turn up in numbers so it shouldnt be a problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizfit Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Should just restrict old firm fans to behind one goal as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main stand might be the issue. I'm sure Hearts charge different prices in the same stands. One side of an aisle is cheaper that the seat on the other side.

Hello my gullible friends, Flax here, waffle waffle, I talk pish, waffle waffle, I don't know what I'm doing, waffle waffle pish, I'm really great and I care, that's why I'm phoning c***s and making generic emails, obviously I'm letting Roddy do the typing that's why it's taken a week to reply, waffle waffle pish.

Widge Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I've been thinking about Jordan White this morning and I'm almost coming around to the idea (not the fee paying part, that's nonsense), rather the type of player he is. The most like for like example I can think of for saints would be Brian Graham. He was much maligned and whilst not technically the best player, or ever a fans favourite he did pop up and score goals to win games. Now I've only seen White play against saints and he falls into a similar bracket in that he's not exactly what you'd call technically gifted, but he does work hard, he will win his fair share of headers and truth be told he does pop up with goals for a County team struggling. Would I be excited, absolutely not, would he be anything more than average, absolutely not, but I'm with RG I'd rather have him than Brophy. Not that I'm expecting saints to actually sign anyone in the next week, but you never know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we got round it by only selling to our fans through season ticket holders for OF home matches. So it could be cheaper as it’s a deal for ST holders and not a general sale. But had a quick look online and it looks like our fans just have to provide an email address to show they’re on the database. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints fans (and rumours at the time the other players) didn't take to Graham generally but was very good for Saints overall and I liked him. Passionate and who doesn't love a towering header! Scored a couple those. One on his debut against Motherwell, he celebrated like a mad man and the winner against 10 men Hamilton after Canning tried to murder O'Halloran are two that spring to mind! We've been more patient with other players since who are and have produced significantly less.

bunglebonce Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I would say the same about BG's two spells at Ross County. By the end of his second spell I had come to appreciate what he brought to the table, and I was gutted when he left, but I was less patient with him than other players for most of his time at County. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Brian Graham was (and probably is) much better than Jordan White surely? Goals not the only factor but ... Brian Graham in the premiership: 25 goals in 96 games, total 4512 minutes. EDIT: goal ever 180 mins. Jordan White in the premiership: 13 goals in 90 games, total 5896 mins. EDIT: goal every 453 mins. White has 8 "assists" according to transfermarkt, Graham 5. If you wanna look at their championship records since that's where they've both spent most of their career it's even clearer. Especially since Graham is 35 and still a regular while also coaching Thistle's WFC. Graham: 75 goals, 237 games, 14,208 minutes White: 35 goals, 144 games, 9697 minutes White is very much not for me. Very Tommy Wright sort-of signing .. and Graham is the exception that sort-of worked when most of them didn't. Fallon, Iwelumo, Sutton and Denny Johnstone did not. At least all of those were free! Having a big man up top for Liam Gordon to punt balls toward sounds like just about the only way we could get more eye-bleeding under Davidson.

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 @Zamora FanThats exactly what makes the White offer absolutely wild. The guys never shown any form in his career ever to suggest that kind of offer. Yes there's more to a players game than goals and assists but there's also more to it than simply being a big target. He's not a "need a fresh start" kind of player either. They'd be much much better going down the route of someone with something to prove. Whether that's someone who has gone down south & it hasn't worked out or it's a loan or a younger players needing to impress. Both of those if done correctly can produce a much better options than 100k for White. County would be mad to turn that down? Worst thing is they'll probably get us to increase our offer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
