There is usually segregation in the North at the section bordering the East to separate and avoid "the bit of banter with away fans"

There's a bit more to it. The council are concerned about Health and Safety - sure. But to have a standing area looking at wee bairns (bless them), maybe learn some pyro tricks 😄🚬 need a standing area at end of East next to Ormond. I doubt FCU will be that colourful with kids watching Tellytubies or K-POP. They'll go to the other end of the East Stand.

Ive no idea what youre on about here. 

The kids aren't right beside the FCU, the kids will grow up and want to be part of that so the FCU will expand, and for most games there was no away support in the North anyway so theres no huge difference between that and whats coming.

Are Saints being a bit optimistic in having tickets on sale tomorrow with new tickets provider, new pricing structure and price list still to be issued.

The hospitality is very good, and can see there is a demand for it and hopefully more - a great treat and an excellent way to watch a match 

Posted

The discontent has already begun in the comments sections on social media. Few good things people have rightly pointed out as to current seats and renewals and how the pricing affects their existing seat. Interesting plans from the club but currently scant in detail which is a bit disappointing to see. Hopefully it doesn't get worse by tomorrow 😅

Am I reading this right Saints fans in Main stand and East. Away fans in Ormond , then there is the family stand. With all the will in the world and if still play exciting football in the premiership we are not going to fill the Main and East.

Are we going to forfeit the money from Aberdeen , Hearts , Hibs and Dundee clubs not to mention what is going to happen with OF.

Great incentives by the sounds of it. Very forward thinking.  Let's fill the place 💪🏻💙

The mascot needs to do more, they have very little personality, as mascots go, and this is said in relation to the new family stand.... I'd replace the person doing the duty with someone with some acting or performing experience.

Away fans will also be in the expanded hospitality offerings. The categories of games will come out tomorrow I imagine.

I suspect it’s going to be a 10%, increase which would put prices from £355 to £390.50, let’s say £400.00 maximum.

I seen Morecambe are charging £490 per month for regional football in England. And I think Braintree were charging £450 for the same!
Arguably, we’ve been underpaying for some years, and the squad on the pitch reflected it, especially with the Browns being less than willing to put their hands in their pockets. 

You may see a price freeze or a lesser increase for the ends. 

I agree for people who’ve held a ticket there for years it’s a frustrating decision, but if they put a price freeze or gradual increase on all that’s going to happen is any future price increase is going to be even worse.

Hearts have been named as a club who does this, I’m pretty sure Hibs, the old firm Aberdeen and United do also. 

Hospitality lounges have been at capacity all season and sold out back in December, and it won’t surprise me if they’ve people on reserve for games this season coming. Those extra booths make sense there. Dunfermline had those booths at east end and people sat there the whole time. Even the casual hospitality experience will be attractive to people who don’t want to go suited and booted.

I think the reason hospitality was so popular this season was influenced by decent price, winning games, scoring goals and no toxic visitors. Lots of Saturday 3pm kick off too. Be interesting to see if it is as popular next season.

Aye this will be a big factor. Certainly for me, I miss most Sunday games as my 3 kids play youth football and I coach one of their teams.

Friday and Saturday matches have been great. Only missed around 3 home games all season.

Awful decision, yet again.

Fans once again ignored and shafted by an owner who values a bank balance over them.

Well done with all the talk and chat about growing the home support but this just turns all of that in my mind into words designed to get people spending money rather than anything genuine.

A pathetic, cowardly, move thats sadly no surprise.

I expect people who buy the dear seats in the East will be getting a discount if theyre forced into cheaper seats so the group of fans who smash up stadiums amd abuse our members of staff can have a good day out?

For various reasons I don’t make every home game, I’ve renewed my ST and I’m happy with the price but pissed off about the OF getting 3 stands. Doing that WONT encourage more fans to buy Season tickets.  Mr Webb is deluded if he thinks by doing this he will encourage 5/10% more Saints fans turning every season.

They've literally capped the amount of season tickets they can sell.

GB stand holds about 3000 if you include hospitality doesnt it? So they either refuse to sell more than that or turn home fans away from home games so away fans can get in.

The stupidest decision the club has made in about a decade.

Families don't even get the choice; they don't get to see the OF, even if they wanted to... ahhh some laugh

It seems that beating Celtic when they had three stands is the worst thing the team have ever done 😑

I can't believe they have taken the decision to move season ticket holders out of the east stand, especially considering the fans paid for half of the safe standing. Absolutely shooting themselves in the foot.

I thought they knew their history of the club and the awful decisions made in the past but clearly not. One club, one community unless its for the old firm £. Unreal.

They do, they apparently get offered GB stand seats.

Still no clarification on what happens to the spare 1000+ season ticket holders if we sell 4000 though

Aye, but they have to pay extra for that. IMHO, if it doesn't cover every game, it's not a season ticket
