nickyg Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Fully agree with need to ensure a larger venue in the East for this type of eventuality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkfish Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I have also not got a ticket yet so I agree a new stadium needs building in case this happens again. An absolute outrage and something must be done, by someone. JSAINTEE99, The ghost of Jim Morton and PauloPerth 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kinross Saint Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Obviously it wouldn't happen because Hibs would be getting a home tie but Easter Road is the ideal size of stadium for this tie.Recent semis between Hearts and Inverness are the perfect example of that... Hibs being involved clearly is an issue for this particular tie but I'm sure the SPFL will consider Easter Road their go to stadium for ties like this normally.

LennyFaeStenny Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Doubt I'll bother with this now. Balls to sitting in the old Main Stand.What difference does it make whether you're in one stand or another? Is it not about supporting the team? Maybe you should have made an effort to get a ticket for the Roseburn stand if it meant that much to you.

Maybe you should have made an effort to get a ticket for the Roseburn stand if it meant that much to you. I went to the effort to write out a response as to why I couldn't make it up for a ticket (for which there are several valid reasons, excluding the 3hr journey) but decided it's actually none of your business. Never in history have Saints tickets sold out on the day they've gone on general sale. It was perfectly reasonable to expect to be able to buy one going on past games. Excuse me for not wanting to fork out a premium to sit amongst a few hundred fans in a stand that hasn't been fit for purpose in my life time.

St Mikey Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I wonder if Saints sell when getting the extra 500 tickets were allowed to ask or were offered another 500 and readjust the segregation?Crap how we get a little short of 4,000 tickets when we could've easily sold about 4,500 to 5,000. Possibly more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

541ntees Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 Falkirk can't build a stand on that side as it is within the Grangemouth blast zone.thats good to know ill need to remember to sit at the main stand side of the away stand then just to be on the safe side St Mikey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSAINTEE99 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 we probably wont even sell the 500 after all thisOne thing is sure - the longer it takes to confirm there will be an extra 500 the less chance there is of them being sold.

Center Half Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 It would appear we need a Stand capable of holding 5000 people at Tynecastle and Easter Road in case either of the teams who own these Stadiums get to the Semi final and draw St Johnstone. Is this correct, Before I send in my suggestion to the SFA or SPFL or who ever is in charge of this tournament at my disgust that they did not plan ahead for 100-200 St Johnstone fans who can not get tickets for this game and sit beside their friends all together and possibly have a few gap seats as well so we are not too crushed in. I will mention that they should also be building a new 25,000 seated stadium some where equidistance to most teams from the East coast and also to consider The Highland teams and Aberdeen also, or at least build this stadium near a railway station where trains arrive at before a 12-00 noon kick of time from these destinations. Should I mention that this stadium has a retractable roof as discussed before so that when our games are cancelled due to water logged pitch we can switch our game to this stadium that needs to be on standby for us, have I missed anything?????.I will also ask that since I have done all this thought process for them can they supply me with four tickets for each of the Scotland V England world cup Qualifying games coming up.Now there is thing should this new Stadium have a larger capacity to allow everyone to get a ticket for these games?????

Ali91 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 I don't understand why there's even a discussion. Hibs are a shambolic club with shambolic fans, give us the tickets and make Tynecastle that bit more sophisticated and good looking for at least one afternoon.
