Kevin Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 Shame we aren't the away team, £13 would be a much better price! If we get 1100 there this weekend it will be a miracle, doubt any Stenny fans will cough up £23, nor Saints fans for this match sadly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave H Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Clearly Stenny is a pub team outfit. Joke club who can't negotiate. Remember No fans, No football. (No pyro. No party!) Get a grip Stenny and actually make an agreement you useless bunch. Saints statement for the record.. The club wishes to apologise to supporters that a Premiership match pricing structure is in place for this cup tie. Despite protracted negotiations with our opponents, we have been unable to convince Stenhousemuir FC to adopt a sensible pricing structure for this game such as that agreed between Aberdeen FC and Stranraer FC for their tie (£15/£10/£5) and Scottish Cup rules state that when opponents cannot agree on a pricing structure then “the charges which are normally made for the regular fixtures of the club at whose ground the match is to be played, will apply.” Regrettably, this means that adults will be asked to pay £5 more than they did for our League Cup tie versus Heart of Midlothian FC in August. The West and East Stands will be open with Stenhousemuir fans in the north end of the West Stand although visiting supporters are asked to note that they are very welcome to use the Family Section at the south end of the West Stand – 1 adult and two kids aged 12 and under for just £16.

Guest ScottMann Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 It's a pity Saints don't put out such forthright statements when we're being mucked around by the likes of Rangers, the SFA, the SPFL or the Compliance Officer. Mind you, it's only little Stenhousemuir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lang toon saintie Posted January 17, 2017 Report Share Posted January 17, 2017 I agree that the prices are excessive.But in light of the price hike against Rangers a few weeks back I find the statement a bit sanctimonious. fazman1977 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 The price hike against the OF can sort of be justified as our costs to host them significantly rise. Melbourne Saint and 541ntees 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixties saintee Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 This is Stennys cup final and you cant blame them for trying to get as much money as possible, if we were in there position we would do exactly the same, they will probably come park the bus and hope for a replay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality what's the size of the prize? £8 a head extra x 1,500 folk. £6k each...hardly seems worth it. Melbourne Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree.Yes the costs do rise but so does the revenue.The cost of policing etc may double but the revenue more than doubles.I would be very surprised if the % cost was higher V the old firm.

cristo Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Why? We can't afford to take this lightly. We always have a shout in the cup and should field our strongest available team. Using that logic, we should field our strongest available team every week. So when do we get to see some new talent being blooded? How does anyone know whether or not George Hunter is better than Chris Kane or Graham Cummings? Maybe George Hunter IS part of our strongest team. How will we ever know if we can't give him a run out against Stenhousemuir? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lang toon saintie Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I agree with you in principle but not with Hunter.He scored quite a few goals for the U20's last year but not this season.He has been out on loan to lower league sides a couple of times and did nothing.

Guest ScottMann Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I thought Greg Hurst had overtaken Hunter as next in line for a breakthrough. Hunter seems to have stalled a bit with his loan a step backwards to non-league after a couple of league clubs. Hurst's loan at Berwick is up 'in January' and with him already having had a couple of subby appearances I wouldn't be surprised to see him get a run out at some point if he's eligible and all's going well.

Cagey Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Saints could have got round the price fix by issuing a £5 or £10 off voucher for the Hamilton game . Even to Stenny fans,you never know it's not far & we might get a few new fans when they see our entertaining football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abernethy Saint Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 We apologise to both sets of fans that negotiations over ticket pricing weren't handled as well as they could have been. Our original view, taken ahead of negotiations, was that we didn't want to devalue the fixture or competition through a significant price cut from normal levels. However, upon learning that the outcome is an imposed ticket price of £23, it is clear that this cost isn't appropriate either. We have therefore agreed a reduced pricing structure of £15/10/5. We look forward to a challenging and exciting Cup match at McDiarmid park on Saturday." Says Stenhousemuir official site. Sanity prevails.

Dave H Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Stenhousemuir talking pish. What are they trying to justify to their own fan's? Bollocks statement. Good work from Saints for publicly posting admission prices at £23 and stating clearly it was Stenny that wanted this... That's right Stenny back track, have you never drawn a big team in the cup away from home before... We are all laughing at your club...
