Hammerafc Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 There was suggestions events under 1000 would be ok. They could have season tickets and then ticket only up to that mark perhaps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 There was suggestions events under 1000 would be ok. They could have season tickets and then ticket only up to that mark perhaps Season ticket holders should be allowed in. I don’t think we have over 500 of them tho I could be wrong with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Yeah just seeing it says 500 not 1000 is advised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Think we have 600 season tickets after the half ones were sold. Going by the guys tick sheet and the number on mine. You also have to remember the players, coaches and staff/board members would be a part of any 'event' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I am a season ticket holder I consider it would be better to allow 500 to pay at the gate as this would help to defray expenses thus helping the club to survive through this difficult period . As to how this would be administered is another matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 This has the potential to cripple the club financially 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerafc Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 This has the potential to cripple the club financially They said it wouldn't help anything but would take pressure off emergency services. I don't think our games put pressure on at all so would be pointless to cancel them. Maybe postpone for a few weeks and finish the season late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen with player contacts tho? I think they end at the end of may so would be void If we play into June 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Already bought my ticket for the game on the 27th but won’t be looking for a refund as Arbroath supporters on here are a decent bunch of c***s. Use the £10 wisely! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gone fishing Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 It’s a nightmare scenario all round for clubs players and us fans of fitba. Our club like most clubs have budgeted for the season season ticket money gate money and hospitality income. Are clubs insured regarding loss of income 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan3600 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The SFA and TV companies should allow closed door matches to be videod and streamed live on a pay to view basis. I think a lot of Lichties would pay to watch their team. Season ticket holders could be given a code for free viewing. Of course it’ll never happen... it’s far too sensible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1320Lichtie Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 Prize money in this league as it stands with us being 6th currently 100k more than what we got last season. Our actual crowds and hospitality over the 13 games probably surpassed last seasons total for the 18. Will have had bigger outgoings too with some of our recruitment, not sure by how much. Pretty fortunate to be a PT club in the Championship at the moment a lot of other clubs will surely have it worse? If it does get to stage where there behind closed doors would happily pay for a stream, despite having a season ticket, I'm sure my dad would pay his own admission fee too. Let's face it there's feck all to do to go and spend your money anywhere else now anyway. [emoji23] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
