welldaft Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) 56 minutes ago, RandomGuy. said: Where have I said anything about it "being closer to matchday pricing"? St Johnstones sole reasoning for the pricing seems to be to make sure that season ticket holders, who purchased tickets before this season had even been clarified, weren't going to be "out of pocket" compared to PPV customers. You can all bitch/scream/mewl all you want, but its incredible anyone can criticise a club for that approach. As for the "lower prices brings more income" argument, that's been proven as false throughout the multiple "pay what you want" events held in Scottish football over the years. You don’t get it. I could not give 2 f*cks why St Johnstone have priced the way they have. I would have liked to watch the game today but will not because it is £17.50. So say what u like but that pricing is stopping many Motherwell fans from wanting to pay to see their team. So I will moan and suspect many others will also from other teams apart from probably Livi. You better get used to it RG cause I fear a meltdown if u have to past multiple times each home match thread. I guess you can just copy and paste from this one and save u some time.....

dezz Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Guess that’s Campbell and Maguire having to isolate then. Pretty unfortunate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, Campbell was up doing press yesterday as well so it's pretty clear that's the case. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if Crawford is any good. A bit of a bummer and it was inevitable it would catch up. Be worse if it was our two Scotland senior squad players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This will dent Maguire’s run in the team, it is unlikely he will walk back into the team after isolation whereas the jersey was his to lose if he had played 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 We're writing a strongly worded letter... Quote Allan Campbell and Barry Maguire are required to miss our match with St Johnstone due to Covid-19 protocols. We were informed shortly after 11am on Saturday morning by the Scottish FA that the pair are required to self-isolate, as a result of three members of the Scotland Under 21 squad testing positive for the virus. Both Allan and Barry tested negative when they were tested by Motherwell FC on their return to Fir Park on Wednesday. However, the Scottish FA have informed us that due to the seating arrangements on flights and buses in Greece, our players are required to isolate under trace and protect procedures. We were first notified of the potential need to exclude Allan and Barry at 9:30pm on Friday night. They will now be obliged to isolate for 14 days. As a result of what has happened, we will write to the Scottish FA on a number of points on which we believe urgent answers are required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillips455 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Wait, they were only told at 11am today? God this is a fucked up situation. How can we trust the SFA with any international games going forward? Even with the vaccines and all i believe all clubs will be extremely reluctent to allow player to play it the internationals early next year.

PauloPerth Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 I'd be fairly pissed off if I was a Motherwell supporter over the situation and late notice. If it's any consolation we played a vastly weakened Aberdeen team their first game back after their covidpubgate and we were dogshite and lost. The Scotland international set ups hatred of all things St Johnstone finally works in our favour. Regarding pricing, I wouldn't want to pay £17.50 for a St Johnstone v Motherwell routine league game, and probably wouldn't do so. However, as a season ticket holder who paid over £300, if other Saints fans could pick and choose their games at a cheaper price each week I would feel well cheated. I don't know what the answer is, other than there should be an agreement that all non-OF team season ticket holders should get a reduced PPV rate for all their away matches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 We have a squad for a reason, let’s see how good it is. Hastie returns to the scene of the most humorous barracking from his own support I have heard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
