If you get multiple people having a go at you at once and come back to them when you next login that means raging? Fair enough I guess almost every poster on here is "raging" constantly Pointing out the seeth from hibs fans in the posts discussing someone being seething "twat" "dribbling simpleton" etc i thought was fair enough. Hibs are very funny. Ive never been angry at hibs. They always return to the clubs DNA - hibsing it You weren't raging. Definitely not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half empty stadiums at £25 make more money than full stadiums at £5-10. It's fairly simple stuff. It would put clubs out of business.

Shambolic entry system that struggled to read QR codes for many people with very little help or advice being offered to those struggling, other than from fellow fans. Zero communication or engagement from security staff but then the attitude towards them from some fans was embarrassing. Hopefully someone goes into their work next week and swears in their face. Then the Saints supporters who obviously think they are above everyone else and queuing need not apply to them. Arseholes. A mess inside as 1,000 allocated seats sold but folk sitting anywhere. It is what it is but means those coming in 20 minutes after kick-off (did they finally just open the exit door?) couldn't find seats and you have dozens of folk sitting on steps. The one constant, as always in these situations, is the SLO doing her absolute best, when she no doubt could have been inside watching the game. What an asset to the football club. As for the game, we were really, really poor for the majority of it. Another display of idiot football that made us easy prey for a hungry Hibernian team. Game turned on the red for arguably the best player on the pitch and credit to Saints to taking advantage of that, whether it was the players themselves or the man setting his team out to play idiot football. VAR was bearable. Bit of confusion at the end but maybe didn't seem that way on TV? Nervous obviously when they reviewed the Boyle dive but I suppose it's what VAR is here for. Only a point off where we were at the winter break last year... The wait to get in was utterly mental. We got there at twenty past and didn’t move for 10 minutes. Pointed out to the steward other gates and asked about scanning there and got told to f**k off. My pal ended up arguing with one who pushed him back in the queue when he went to step forward. Then when they opened the exit doors letting fans in it just became a free for all. I’ve seen a photo of fans sitting on the stairs too, was that caused by people not having tickets chancing their arm or was it because no one could find their seats on entry and gave up? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People gave up and just sat anywhere. We missed the first 15/20 minutes despite being in the queue at 7pm pretty much on the dot. The fact that the turnstiles were then stopped when the game started could have caused serious, serious issues. I felt for the stewards as it was the idiot safety officer who was actually causing more problems than not. It was getting seriously heated, there were a few folk I had to tell to calm down as I was trying to speak with the stewards rationally. (They weren’t happy about it either for what it’s worth and were only following instruction) Yet through it all, the one person who once again comes away with credit, is Bev, who was in an impossible situation yet still managed to help everyone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 The idiocy pre match by the event officials was only usurped by the antics after the game where a steward was sent to stand in the tunnel and block entry to the concourse which had it's external gates shut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My initial reading of that acronym was "Clancy gave an I Don't Fucking Know". Decisions of that sort are common in the Championship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat me to it. I have sympathy with some of the stewards tasked with keeping us in. One steward in particular offering people out for trying to leave a football game was bizarre. Shambolic probably doesn’t even cut it.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My argument is not against a review of prices of course by no means can the drop the price to a tenner but I think their scope their to trim it to 25 quid a ticket 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly more than £22 - which plenty teams in the Championship charge. From the last week for Raith a seat in the horrible main stand at Cappielow would have cost just that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is Livi, the other is Celtic, a Cat A game which is normally ~ £30 a ticket so the overall deal is probably worthwhile at £44. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, I dont disagree - when you look at the price in Germany and other places they have some really good sponsor deals and the match tickets are cheap. We cant just jump to £10 and £5 however - we need to get the cash from elsewhere before we all do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in early last week so was fine but I expected the red light on the gate to go green once my code was accepted. It didn’t so I wasn’t sure if I should push the gate…..then had to ask a couple of people behind me to move to get the steward in who then told me I was good to go. I’m sure the person in front of me flashed green but I could be wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefki Kuqi Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Was quite pissed last night so my recollection may be limited, but I generally thought we controlled the game up until taking the big striker off at which point we fell to pieces. Essentially not the end of the world, but quite annoying. Nice atmosphere generally, thought the Saints fans with the drums were good and the halftime violin was a step up from the Opera so fair play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
