Ludo*1 Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 1 minute ago, TxRover said: Yes, but, the question to ask is how many PATG customers do you actually lose? There is a clear difference between PATG and PPV. It’s comfortable sitting on the sofa, perhaps with a mate or two, warm and free to drink and eat what you want…but it’s not the experience. I’d say you’re much more likely to get a punter that considered going, but decided it’s cold, dark and possibly raining, plus work tomorrow and getting home after the game late just isn’t appealing. There is a massive difference between the potential PATG customer on a weekday night and a weekend day. I’d be willing to bet that the vast majority of the weekday PATG crowd is fans who would have bought season tickets except they didn’t work for them because of the number of matches they’d miss, while there will be more casuals on the weekend PATG numbers (after all, with Dundee, you are better off PATG if you are going to miss 3 or more matches). Giving Partick Thistle fans the option of a £5 stream or even slightly more than that, will absolutely put some off from going tonight at the last minute. It'd certainly put me off going to an away game. The BBC Friday night TV games absolutely make my mind up over whether I'm attending an away game and I think anything less than a tenner would do that for everyone but the truly hardcore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC Friday night TV games absolutely make my mind up over whether I'm attending an away game and I think anything less than a tenner would do that for everyone but the truly hardcore. Absolutely true, but the question was cannot answer is if there would be a concurrent increase in uptake of sufficient volume to offset to small reduction in attendance. Let’s face it, your last minute, PATG Partick attendance is not going to be huge, as it’s generally limited to people living within a small radius of Dundee. What’s the average Partick traveling support on a Tuesday night? (It’s the inability to get basic data like this easily that makes this all speculative) Let’s say 30 local area Partick fans say I’ll watch on my computer rather than last minute PATG. If their tickets were £24 per, that’s £720 in PATG income lost, but if you charge a fiver, that’s another £150 in PPV (assumes the fans don’t know each other and all crowd into one house) income, so a net loss of £570. So, now if you attract 114 casual viewers, you break even. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 If we could avoid going down by multiple goals in the first half to Partick for a third successive game this season, that'd be greeeaaat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girth Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I’ll be at Hereford vs. Chester tonight but will be keeping my peepers on the score. Anyone having a flutter? Thank you. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagsCG Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 As expected apart from no Brownlie. Presume he’s picked up an injury again, unfortunate for him given his performance at Gayfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I want to eat takeaway every night but at the price they charge, it's not viable. Pay the price if you want it, or don't. Why do you come online and cry about it being too expensive for a 'neautral'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I go to the same restaurants and takeaways regularly because I like them and they’re good. Not sure following Thistle uses that same logic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peadar BigDinnerO'Driscoll Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Can't really play 442 with Cameron so might be the reasoning for one up. Have a feeling playing Hannant wide will be similar to Mulligan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
