The sheep have sold their allocation, so tickets for home end are only available to season ticket holders plus those fans on the register.

Thought Aberdeen would get the Ormond after selling out but thats not happened.

Have saints issued tickets to local schools etc for the Ormond?

Yes. Apparently a lot of free tickets have been handed out.

I have a slight issue with these free tickets.

I arranged my bring a friend tickets for a lad from work, he s English and has no affiliation with any Scottish team. 
 

He came along , to be fair he also bought tickets to add two more.

Since then though he’s had free tickets through schools tail end last season and has free tickets through schools again next Monday.

He’s a actually asked me, when will they ask me to buy something.

All for these free tickets but, imagine 2/3 people moving across the stand throughout the game offering deals on family season tickets and signing folk up.

Even better if they have an iPad or similar and can sign up straight away.

That is a very valid point suggest you do this that was on Adam Webb's Open Letter at takeover:

In fact, we would like to hear from you with any thoughts for improvements at the club. Please email Ideas@PerthSaints.co.uk with your suggestions. I have asked that all serious ideas be forwarded to me.

Raymond apparently out for Aberdeen game. We don't have a back up left back so is it back to 3 at the back ?. Mind you we don't have a right back never mind a back up. Is it's Leveins plan to go back 3 and that is the reason we haven't signed full backs.

Surely Keltjens is our right-back? It looks like Neilson can play right-back too, so if it's a back four on Monday I wonder if Neilson might go to right-back and Keltjens move across to left-back?

Then again, I reckon we're more likely to revert to a back five for this game so perhaps Neilson goes to RCB, Wright to RWB and then either Keltjens or Carey at LWB?

Who'd have thought going into the season with only one left-back might be risky. Hopefully bringing in someone else for that position will be a priority now, if it wasn't one already.

Keltjens is not a real right back. He is just filling the position at the moment as we don't have a out and out right back.

What position is he then? He's basically played right-back or right wing-back ever since he signed for us. As far as I can see he's been our first choice right-back for quite some time now.

Apparently, he's played the majority of his career as a central defensive midfielder.

It's a part of the team that could do with strengthening so he might be one of the answers.

Neilson can supposedly play right back but it isn't his preferred position.

I'd like us to sign a natural right back to free up Keltjens to move to his best position, and another left back as cover for when Raymond can't make it, like now for instance.

I'd be fine with seeing Keltjens getting a go in central midfield but I think the need for him at right-back is greater unless we can find a new right-back who's going to do a better job. I think there have been signs recently of Keltjens working well with Wright down that right-hand side of the pitch so I'd like to see us persist with those two on that side, rather than move him somewhere else.

Remaining tickets going fast, at 4pm today just 121 left in the Geoff Brown stand and 456 in the East.

Likely some sections will be sold out by tomorrow and going to be very close to a sell out by Mondays kick off.

This is great, love to see the place full.

So hope that those that have complimentary tickets for the Ormond pack the place out so all 4 stands are full.
