Like emperor penguins huddling together for warmth. Law of averages with a big crowd on the steep steps at EEP means there's always one of these: Even in a cauldron of hate, nothing unites a set of fans quite like the resultant "waaaaaayyyyy!". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offshore Rover Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Supposed to be in hospitality for this one however I am quite unwell, gutted. Was really looking forward to this as a neutral. Can’t seem to get into the ParsTV website just now tho. I hope it hadn’t crashed and won’t crash tonight. I’d imagine quite a high viewing figure 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Confirmation that we’re just not selling anymore tickets/opening any more sections. Disappointing. Seems strange to turn down extra money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very end section and the front few rows of the second and third last sections haven't been released. Just noticed on COWS that it says "home end sold out" - surely they aren't not going to release at least the rest of the Main Stand seats for sale. There's absolutely no need for segregation there when you're 20 feet above ground level with no fans below you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium holds around 10,300 without the NE and I’d say there’s less than 200 tickets left between us. The bottom corners of our stand havent been put on sale yet, around 100 in each of those, plus about 300 left/ not yet available in the front 3 rows of the middle sections. So reckon we've sold 2500 so far 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even from the front of the main stand, you can get nowhere near the pitch or opposition fans. Not like the seats are ‘out of action’ either, as they’re usually available for away fans every week - and are available to buy for Edinburgh fans for our next home game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still must be looking at gate income north of £100k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoo61 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) No enough polis, stewards, first aid folk? I dont know anything at all about this stuff but maybe over 10 000 you need a certain number of these things that we can't get a hold of midweek. Speculation. KRH to write himself into loanee folklore (With Stevie C and Adam Hammill) with a sublime strike from the edge of the box.

Craigypar Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 A little bit dissapointed bit I'm going to guess this isn't to do with the club and maybe a police Scotland decision. The club shop doesn't even open until midday and I think we would have shifted atleast half of that north east stand. Was really thinking we were going to hit 10k this morning they way it was going but now I think we're looking at 9500-9700 depending how Falkirk get on with the remainder of their tickets. A cracking crowd regardless but could have been better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Club have tweeted that over 7000 home tickets have been sold - think that suggests that tickets may have been sold for that section? Away end holds 3,000. So if there’s over 7,000 home tickets sold, that must be every seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely haven't been on public sale at any point, can only think it's combination of player tickets, hospitality and freebies that have been set aside? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoo61 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I think the fact its stopping so close to 10k is significant. How, with all the incredible brain power like the genius quoted below can we not know why? Mon eh. Just now, Shodwall cat said: I wouldn't say Dunfermline are medium sized.

jamamafegan Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 That's the police for you. As I said, they have far too much say in footballing affairs. Completely bonkers that clubs can't utilise their full capacity. Seats are there to be used FFS. If the police don't like it then the onus should be on them to source bodies from across their network to satisfy demand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnyPar Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 As I mentioned previously the facilities in the north east are humped, meaning we're probably legally not allowed to sell tickets in there atm. It was mentioned at one of the supporters meetings recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full stadiums for an ugly sisters game but can’t find a few extra for this one, where every penny is a prisoner for clubs this size. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Main Stand: 3,089 West Stand: 3,016 East Stand: 3,016 North East Stand: 1,205 North West Stand: 1,189 I beleive, 7,294 home tickets. 3,016 away tickets I have a feeling though that if they're taking segregation this seriously, they won't sell the bottom corners of the Cowdenbeath end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
