TheYellowBox Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Get the tickets on sale ASAP and put the singing section on the bottom tier Exactly. We know the teams, date, location and we can all pretty much agree on the stands, so get the tickets on sale ASAP and capitalise on the interest. Sell bottom tier first and while they are selling them, saints should take everyone buying a tickets details and log them somewhere for future marketing use.

Cagey Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 There will be a poor crowd at County game so Saints should give out vouchers for semi to encourage another 20 fans to come along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scobby_SJFC Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Top tier should be for sitting bottom for standing so people do not get annoyed like last time pitsjfc and Oldermoresensiblepack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candalan Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 What's changed since the weekend, candalan? Good though. I thought the cheats got a fee from the SFA, and a proportion of the ticket sales, wrongly as I now know. Taking a packed lunch, so no money for food either, I will just forget where I am for 90 minutes and enjoy COYS. cristo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havana Saint Posted March 11, 2014 Report Share Posted March 11, 2014 Top tier should be for sitting bottom for standing so people do not get annoyed like last time We the fans have a massive role to play. Noise, encouragement and most importantly belief! As "home" team will we therefore be given Copland Road? Capacity 8,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they beat Albion in the replay they will get a proportion of ticket sales, but we get a proportion of theirs. All attendance monies from semi-finals and final are pooled and split between the 4 semi-finalists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think the semis are pooled and the final is just split 2 ways. As an aside, I presume that rangers will collect the money for hospitslity and pies etc as well as the money from their allocation of ticket sales for the semis and hand it over to the sfa to distribute? Is there a risk given their financial clusterfcuk that that money disappears before it is handed over? Say 30k tickets at £20 to be evenly split 4 ways is a decent sum of money!

Final figure would probably be more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that is the reason the SFA arranged the smi`s for Ibrox.After all is there not an ex Sevco guy on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
south inch Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Watched the Aberdeen v ICT final this afternoon and was struck by the unfairness of the seating allocation. Why does the smaller support have to be stuck behind one of the goals? If we can sell say 8,000 tickets for the Ibrox semi can we not be allocated one half of the Govan Stand? Aberdeen are likely to sell 20 to 30,000 for a semi so both goals the other half of the Govan Stand and whatever bits of the Main Stand are available should do them fine. We can always offer to sell our allocation in blocks from the centre out towards the goal so if we don't manage 8,000 some more tickets can go to Aberdeen if they need them.

pete1967 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Would be great to get 8000 backing us but realisticly can see around the 2/3 thousand mark the crazy kick off time and it being on bbc/sky will definately affect our support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a boost to players playing towards there own fans. Fans of several English premiership clubs have campaigned to have away fans moved from behind the goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAndWhiteBlood Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 If we can only take 3000 for a Scottish cup semi final we need to look at ourself. I completely agree. Most of the support for Saints is coming from the smaller towns outwith Perth. When we play O.F. They all flood back to their homes in Perth. SJFC are playing in the highest league in Scottish football (still a crap league.. Besides the point) and are still challenging a Scottish cup win. The club can't be doing any more. It's the people of Perthshire who need to exercise the Old Firm from Saints territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
