Mike180279 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Postponements this season: Alba Cup Final - Reason for postponement: Fans Safety St Johnstone v Hamilton - Reason for postponement - Heavy Snowfall (All other SPL fixtures off that weekend too) St Johnstone v Dundee United - Reason for postponement - Fans Safety St Johnstone v Rangers - Reason for postponement - Fans Safety St Johnstone v Partick - Reason for postponement - Waterlogged Pitch St Johnstone v Partick - Reason for postponement - Waterlogged Pitch St Johnstone v Aberdeen - Reason for postponement - Waterlogged Pitch So it seems to me only 3 of our games have been postponement as a direct result of McDiarmids pitch and the rest is down to Tayside Police and their Health & Safety shite. If that is a reason not to re-new then the club are certainly better off without those fans!! Funny how you attended games happily before you got a boyfriend. Under the thumb much?HSF do you have a season ticket? The only point I am trying to make is that with the call offs, inconveniences around making arranged games, bank holidays etc it is devaluing a product. It doesnt have to be Saints Fault, its the way it is..... If an individual decides that it isnt financially viable then how are the club better off without them? Those that already pay at the gate, are the club already better off without them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sainteesean Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The main thrust of what I've read from others and what I feel towards my own season ticket renewal is that we're not getting good value for money with the performances or the number of games we are getting to due to the problems with the pitch. If that's nothing to do with Saints, what is it to do with? Not everyone who supports Saints and has a season ticket works 9-5 Monday-Friday in Perth. These postponements are inconvenient but also financially problematic for people who can't make the rearranged fixture but have already paid to be there. If Saints do achieve continued success in the Scottish Cup and somehow end up finishing in the top six, it's not inconceivable that Saints may also increase the prices for next season. For me, if that happened, it would make my mind up for me. There comes a time when clubs need to get real with how much they're charging for what fans are getting out of it. For many people, this season it's been too much for too little. There's nothing pathetic or embarrassing about that. In regards to your point about it having a lot to do with SJFC, as Hannah has stated, there has only been three postponements due to the playing surface/SJFC (well, the weather really) this season, and that was all this week and only 2 fixtures! One week doesnt stop the season ticket from being financially viable one moment to not, the next. The chairman has identified the problem and has said it will not happen next season. So, the "knee jerk" reactions (to what has not even been an off season, an off week) in this and people comparing the games to the juniors, going in a huff is whats embarrasing. Sooo because people have other commitments, cannot make rearranged ties, therefore reducing the value of a season ticket for them and making them consider whether it is worth renewing this is pathetic? Let me put it another way... if people are not going to get the value out of buying the season ticket and decided to just go to games and pay on gate, there is more chance of them not attending if it is freezing, pouring down, roadworks ( for those outside of perth ). If you buy a ST you are more likely to try and go to the weekend games regardless of the above because you have already paid your money. These reasons illustrate why the club has to take action NOW to ensure that ST holders renew for next season. Be that what has been suggested by the OP or some concrete guarantee as to the action to be taken over the summer. Sorry if that offends you. If so please feel free to block me. :laugh: Like Geoff saying it wont happen again next year? As for the last sentence, theres another example of something pathetic!

Those that already pay at the gate, are the club already better off without them? I was referring to Sam's post where she said If that's nothing to do with Saints, what is it to do with? I would definitely have a season ticket if I had anywhere near the amount of money it costs for one. Skint student, eh Ghostie? All fans are important to the club but if people aren't going to re-new for the sole reason that they think Saints aren't going to fix the pitch problems then the club are better off without them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.H.C Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The good fans of the club are free to choose if they would like to invest in a season ticket or not. It's no big deal really.

mainstand Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Fair play mate. TBH I assumed most would be off with the diddy parliament making it a holiday up here as well There will always be people taht are working on the bank holidays. You also have to remember saints cost will increase, Policing and Stewarding at holiday rates and a possible impact on hospitality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am perfectly willing and capable of discussing my opinions with reasonable Saints fans, but not someone whose sole aim on this forum is to antagonise people. It is only out of respect to your boyfriend - since he is a friend - that I generally bite my tongue when it comes to you. He tells me you're a nice girl really. I have yet to see ANY evidence of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
