stumigoo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I think both St.Mirren and United have made big mistakes in the past few days regarding tickets (they have also made errors that have affected each other). It is a real pity that this has taken a little bit of the excitement away and from a personal point of view it is disappointing that I have missed out, as a supporter who has been to 80-90% of all away games this season (Cups included). I don't claim to be a super fan or anything but in this day and age it is really poor form that a regular supporter who isn't affiliated with any fans group or supporters club can miss out on a ticket in these circumstances. I fully understand that out of 4000+ ST holders you would have 2500 missing out but it is the process rather than the allocation that has disappointed me the most. It is what it is and I am glad the club have apologised and will make efforts to somehow improve things moving forward. I hope that all the fans who did get tickets for Sunday do the club proud and I will have to settle for cheering the team on at home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In particular it will record away matches attended. The people who went to Inverness should have had first dibs. I feel sorry for those that missed out getting a ticket for Sunday. No you don't. The person getting 60 tickets had 60 ST vouchers and was from a supporters club who's members will have likely been at many away games this year. You get no kudos from me from going to a big away game like a playoff rather than day Alloa away in August. So that shouldn't be what determines it either. Also, in a league where almost every game is PATG how would they know who is attending away games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jock Tamson Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Can understand people being pissed off at standing in the rain all night and not getting a ticket but there was always going to be people miss out. Utds statement is good and they will learn from it. Time to stop the greetin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinkle Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Ive been to many away days this season yet im not in a supporters club. Should i have missed out on a ticket to some people who have barely been at games this season (some fans were begging for and recieved voucher P on facebook etc)? ETA - there shouldve been a limit on how many tickets each person recieved ie 4-6. I couldnt give a f**k if you're in a supporters club or not, it doesnt make you a bigger or better supporter than others. My mate missed out on a ticket today despite only missing a handful of our games this season and he stood in the pissing rain from 10pm last night. Ps this isnt aimed at Invergowrie Arab, just fans in general 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 90 left an hour ago (mostly all restricted view) so safe to say its going to be sold out. Heard there is a few Buds happy to grab tickets for the home end rather than restricted view for same price in the away end though.

Nothing more annoying than the guy in front of you in the chip shop queue taking orders from all his mates shouting in at the door. Patience waiting in the queue should be rewarded. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Arab 83 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Our American masters have stepped in at the eleventh hour with a solution, fans will be penned outside Tannadice in groups of 250, at a given signal by the ref every 15 mins, play will be stopped, time out style as In American football for 11 mins , giving the fans outside a chance to rotate with the fans inside giving every supporter a chance to see at least 15 min uninterrupted play and the right to say in years to come "yes, I was there". God bless America. [emoji631] F.T.D.'83. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladdin Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Being a glory hunter who has only been to a handful of games all season I didnt even try to get a ticket. Hadnt realised hospitality was still available up until yesterday - theres a good few Arabs booked in to that which could be interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLIS Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Probably one of my favourite games of all time was the 3-2 away win at Tannadice in the playoffs last season. Absolute scenes after the third with the majority of the support barrelling over seats, folk getting pulled away by the stewards and then police. It's going to be a meaty affair with the Saints fans, they bring a great atmosphere and I'm hoping they stay up mainly for that alone. Best fans in the country without a doubt. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
