south inch Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 4 hours ago, garydavidson said: I don't think many, if any, people are buying tickets for those matches though, the argument is that even the season ticket holders who have paid for it are not turning up. Do agree though that those being moved should at least be allocated a seat. Not sure if we all understand what the Club intends here yet. (I hope the Club does!) The statement says East Stand ST Holders will be provided with alternative unallocated seats within the West Stand. That suggests they will be allocated tickets with numbered seats presumably mainly in the North end of the Stand. As there is no mention (yet) of ST Holders being asked if they intend to go to the game that would suggest everyone being given an allocated seat whether they intend to go or not. This is only fair and places these ST Holders in exactly the same situation they would be in if this "trial" was not taking place. How many ST Holders are there in the East Stand? My impression has always been that many ST Holders do not attend every match and there are marked seats unallocated even when the crowd is around 3,000. If my assumptions are right there won't be too many seats spare in the West for those who just want to pay for these games once hospitality guests are taken care of. I still don't think there will be a problem and at least everyone will know where their seat is. garydavidson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Main Stand holds around 3000. In our last home match against either Celtic or Rangers we had 1451 home fans. Celtic and Rangers usually get an allocation of around 4400 (Ormond 1800, North 1800, Main 800) which usually almost sells out. For us to have had 3000 home fans at a game the overall crowd would have to be 7400 or higher, roughly. We've not had a crowd that size against either of them since December 2016. Season ticket numbers are apparently around 2000. Home fans won't need to worry about getting a seat.

My post was aimed at the worry ST holders would be wandering around looking for a seat. Interesting, if we usually give the OF an allocation of around 4,400 seats which "usually almost sells out" the extra 2,600 or so we are giving them are not going to fly off the shelves.

RandomGuy Posted January 18, 2020 Report Share Posted January 18, 2020 Less than 2000 home fans at the game today, second lowest home support of the season. Against a team we havent played in around 5 years, with reduced admission prices... Further evidence against these fans that stay away but would return if "we didnt play the same teams all the time and didnt pay a fortune for it". Wonder what their excuse will be for not going today? Havana Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunblanemike Posted January 28, 2020 Report Share Posted January 28, 2020 I hope the nets are up behind the goals during the shooting practice. Just watch how many balls get back on the pitch if any do end up in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 At least this policy appears to have paid off. Despite the awful night i reckon the crowd was 2,000 to 2,500 bigger than it would have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
