Havana Saint Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Noose, glad you will be able to attend, McD has missed you this season. I look forward to hearing you verbal abuse directed towards Brechin's goalkeeper..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noose76 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Believe it or not but I have history with the Brechin keeper, Craig Nelson. I was at a Partick Thistle Vs Hearts game at Firhill in March 95 which was abandoned due to heavy snow. During the blizzard, me and a mate began launching snowballs at Nelson and I skelped him to rapturous applause from the Thistle fans. This was shortly after He'd moved to Hearts from Thistle and remains one of the greatest moments of my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike180279 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 if the ground holds 4000 and we;re getting 1500 are brechin really gonna sell 2500?No, I believe segregation is the issue. The Brechin Sale is happening before ours. Probably for 2 reasons. 1. To guage Demand of the home fans 2. If both tickets went on sale at same time, you might get Saints Fans taking the tickets when ours sold out. I think we will get more tickets when we need them.

Mike180279 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 It is only a few years ago that Saints stopped giving us cup games on ST's.Yeah but the big difference is our ratio of ST Holders to paying customers is pretty high. We were expecting a couple of games in the cup. Brechin will have sold their ST's as a package at the beginning of the season and wouldnt have made provision for anything other than a round 3 exit. Every game has brought them a nice wee bonus, and this one will net them as much as any of the Glasgow Giants one would suspect I am pretty sure the chairman is not going to view it as lost revenue Imagine the mighty St Johnstone helping sustain a wee club for a few years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livi saint Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 (edited) Does nobody think the pricing is a bit steep? Especially for standing? I can understand Brechin wanting to maximise there profits and well Geoff would charge as much as humanly possible. I see that on the Brechin website, they have stated that there usual pricing structure is as follows: Prices for the 2009/2010 season: Adults: £10 Concession: £5 Parent & Child: £12 Lounge: £35 Segregation: Admission prices for visiting support Adults £13 Concession £7 Parent & Child £16 I find it a bit out of order that they are charging the same price for standing and seating areas. I also think that this may cause problems on the day is, that the tickets bought, nobody is guaranteed a seat. So what if say an older person, or someone with a child wants to sit/needs to sit and there is no seats left. Anyways I will be there. Hail Hail South Livingston Blues!

How can you complain about £13 for a Quarter Final ticket? The turnstiles at Glebe Park are behind the stand, so unless there is a steward at each entrance checking each and every ticket then it's impossible to regulate who goes where. If you want a seat then arrive earlier, and if you're old, chivalry still exists in this day and age and you'll be given a seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that the match tickets are more than £13 but it doesn't alter my opinion. Gauge value for money on what we're gonna get at glebe park: a full house in their first ever quarter final in a cracking wee stadium and on will be a wonderful experience. Compare that to 20 odd quid to be treated like a 2nd class citizen at parkheed/Ibrox and you'll understand my point. Some people are never happy.
