source? That can't possibly be true.

Even if we're not going to get them, the fact a decision hasn't been made by now - four working days before a match that is otherwise entirely sold out - is absolutely ludicrous. I also don't buy the idea that the club have been "sitting on their hands" for over 10 days. They've clearly been in regular contact with the SPFL, and I don't really see what spitting the dummy in a public statement would gain us either.

Based on the level of incompetence over the years from these guys, they'll decide just to leave the 500 seats empty.

the Roseburn actually only holds a shade under 3400, so even fewer than you've indicated!

It's getting to the stage where our pitch is in a catastrophic state every year from about late November on-getting the the embarrassing state it was yesterday and staying like that til early spring when the grass starts to grow again. i reckon it is sub standard for at least 50% of our games a season these days. It certainly helped utterly ruin the game as a spectacle yesterday, and didn't help last week either. If we could get a grass surface that would be in an acceptable state at this time of year I'd not even contemplate a change. That seems to be impossible these days, however, so I'm leaning towards at least trying a synthetic surface.

it's very odd. I went in first thing on Monday to collect my (pre-ordered) tickets and they said then they had requested the additional 500. If we had first dibs on them why weren't they immediately couriered to McDiarmid Park for sale the following day?

Give me a PM/email if you're still looking and I'll see if we can get you sorted out!

The average attendances thing is a fair point IMO. Last season they were about 9,000 - we were about 4500. They've got 11,000+ tickets guaranteed to our 4000.

I think it would be harsh on Kane if he was scoring, or at least coming close to it. its no coincidence the goals have dried up since Cummins got injured.

I could get on board with resting O'Halloran and trying something different, but he has absolutely destroyed Accies twice this season already so he'd definitely be in my team. Cummins for Kane, Craig for Millar are the changes I'd make.

I actually think we've got enough tickets at the 4,000 or so we've been given. I doubt we'd have had an issue if we'd just given ST holders first dibs to get as many as they want. The chances of every single ST holder needing 3 tickets would have been absolutely minimal. Especially given most ST holders will be going with other ST holders!

I think the first gate has two turnstiles, one cash and one ST only. We arrived pretty much on kick off so we weren't exactly early, but still, if you're going to do vouchers everyone should be given the opportunity to get one!

Got my tickets sorted today, but colleague looking for a spare voucher if anyone's got one? As far as a sales update goes when I was in earlier the three central blocks of seats were pretty well full in the upper section. I'd guess about 1500-2000 sold so far?

This lack of vouchers being given to my guys is now actually causing me an issue. Anyone got spare vouchers/STs they're not using to buy tickets that I could borrow? PM if so!

We went in the first gate. Presumably they'd run out. Shame it wasn't mentioned beforehand so we'd have known to go asking for them.

None of the guys I go with got vouchers at the Hearts game either.

Mannus bashing appears to be our new favourite sport here. All I'd say is that when an opposition team's corner tactic is to load the six yard box with virtually their entire team, and the ball is then zipped in just inside the front post six yards out, there are very few circumstances where that's keeper's ball. If he comes for that he runs into traffic, probably doesn't get the ball and leaves a big empty net for the ball to be knocked in to. If question more why the guy was able to so easily get a header in virtually unchallenged by a defender.

Serious question, if you had a ticket for the section why didn't you just show them the ticket instead of getting involved in a confrontation?

Agree with that! Looking for someone qualified as it stands but if that changes I'll be in touch.

Bump - there's got to be a plumber out there somewhere in Perth looking for a job/a change of scenery?

Personally don't think the Thistle Centre that great these days. Last time I was in there there were a lot of empty units, and there's very little outside of the centre itself you'd actually want to visit. In recent times St John's Centre has been vastly improved with the likes of the H&M and River Island units being much bigger and better, and the recent addition of a large JD Sports unit has also brought it more into line with other places. Kingsgate in Dunfermline has a massive Debenhams but the rest of it isn't brilliant.

I'd always encourage anyone complaining about Perth town centre to take a walk round Kirkcaldy one day... Same size, 30 miles away, absolute dump.

Think you'd be surprised. There must be hundreds of people work in that retail park, plus the thousands of customers every day, plus all the trades people that go in and out of Wickes etc. Busy part of town.

Precisely this re: Cummins and Maclean. Macca spent a lot of time in wide areas last night, something he hasn't been doing when playing with Cummins. Takes away some of our goal threat when he's wandering about out wide instead of getting between the posts.
