    In the last 3 seasons (plus 1 game from this), in the League Cup and Scottish Cup Queens home record is:

    P10 W1 D3 L6

    Losses include two teams from League 2, two from League 1 and two Premiership. Only win was against a League 1 side.

    Our win record when fans have come into the game proclaiming their own shiteness and "fearing the worst" is even lower

    How many of these fuckers are there? I just got some free games through Amazon and had to sign up for two I'd never heard of in order to get them. I've officially lost track of which games I've got on which account. Pretty sure I've forgotten entire accounts and services,

    Just for "fun", I'll keep an updated list of them here - feel free to contribute:

    Amazon Games
    Bethesda Launcher
    Desura
    Epic Games
    GOG Galaxy/Good Old Games
    Legacy Games
    Origin
    Steam
    uPlay/Ubisoft Connect

    It's a massive fuckin pain in the arse. 

    Theres a couple of apps out there that will scan launchers and folders and out all your games into one place. Launchbox and playnite seem to be the mostly popular

    Interesting to see that Ayr are providing streaming coverage of the big derby match tomorrow night.

    I'm not going to be able to make it along to the St Johnstone match on Saturday but would have access to a stream of the game if one was available.  I'm assuming that isn't going to be the case though?

    Nope, definitely no stream on Saturday

    Can you get a plastic card for U16s? Or not because they’re free? Asking because I have my season ticket QR code on my phone as well as three under 16s who are 4, 6 and 9 years old and it’s a bit of a pain in the arse getting us all in. 

    Yes, you can. I believe, but I could be wrong, that the cards will also be free

    puchase a plastic credit card season ticket?  OK for people who understand how these things work. Did try and buy a season ticket yesterday from shop yesterday to be told to phone back next week - a missed opportunity as I wasn't the only one trying to buy one

    There simply wasnt enough people around to be able to deal with season ticket sales yesterday. I doubt we'll sell them on Saturday either. The plastic cards wont be ready for a few weeks, so theres no real advantage to buying a season ticket in the office right now, especially as they can be bought online anytime. All the office staff will do is process an online order for anyone who wants help with it.

    As the others said, season tickets will be emailed out and the email will have a QR code that can be printed off or scanned off the phone at each game. The same code will work at each league game, the system will know which games each season ticket has already scanned in at.

    The plastic card will be exactly the same as the cards we used to get, except it will now also have the same QR code as you'll get in an email. The card can then be scanned at the turnstile at each game.

    I struggled with trying to get a ticket for match yesterday as I somehow ended up with one for Oakbank Terrace instead of for the New Stand from the ticket office in the Arena. I didn't realise you had to state which area of the ground you wished to go to when buying the ticket. After about 10-15 standing a kind steward allowed me to enter new stand for a seat.

    All the walk-up tickets had Oakbank Terrace on them, it was the easiest way to print them off. The people in the ticket office knew the tickets were valid for anywhere in the ground and should really have said. Looks like the stewards didnt know though, which will get sorted for Saturday.

    Simple in theory, but as I say, not always in practic. I have experienced a few occasions when it can be slower than simply just handing over a paper ticket getting the stub torn off and ticket handed back. The QR code readers not working, people walking up the the turnstile or standing at the turnstile still opening their phone trying to find  the ticket QR code, images on phones not big enough/too big to read, people printing off a pdf copy of their ticket (not sure if this is an option at Queens) and the paper is crumpled or folded across the code are just a few examples. I'm sure there are fans who have had to stand waiting, tutting and mumbling obscenities under their breath as some idiot in front of them ( probably  me) struggles to show the code. If everything works smoothly and supporters are ready at the turnstile to show their "ticket" it's fine but it's not any quicker, or even as quick, as  presenting a physical ticket for entry. 

    I dont think speeding up access at the turnstile is really the main reason for online tickets. You're probably right, in a lot of cases it will be slower than just handing over a paper ticket. 

    The overall process should be easier and quicker for most fans, though. It also brings us in line with cinemas, theatres, concerts etc who all sell tickets online. Theres a lot of advantages to the club too, with much less cash to handle and far less tickets to count and reconcile on matchday. Plus less time being spent by the office selling season and match tickets.

    Ever got out positive to say emoji848.png our fan base always slow in uptake, giving the change there will prob be a daft rush and it’ll crash emoji23.png would like to think there will be around a 1000 there Saturday, a lot of positivity around the playing side but think holidays will play it’s part

    That's just the Annan section. The home uptake has been pretty good

    Sure it was said above all the ground is open again and no red zones and there settling tickets for that area so you Would have to  assume so .

    There are no red zones in place anymore. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that area will be open again for Saturdays game. I have no idea what the plans are. 

    There are no tickets specifically for that area, it's just classed as the Oakbank terrace

    If that's the case it's crap. Do you know if the Terracing turnstiles at the Arena side will be open this season or are "Red Zones" still in place. Referees and Away teams changing arrangements should surely be back to pre-covid situation of them all using the main stand dressing rooms. 

    Pretty sure the red zones are gone and all the changing arrangements are back to normal

    Ticketing blurb for the Annan game on the OS says tickets will be available on the day of the game from the Arena, will the booths at the East Stand not be open? 

    No, I dont believe so. As far as I know, the plan is just to have one ticket office in the arena

    ETA - and now its done

    When you purchase a ticket does it just need to be looked at by the turnstile operator rather than require scanning or anything? I wont get there until 15/20 past on Saturday so the turnstiles will likely be closed.

    It needs to be scanned. If the turnstiles are shut, I think you'll be able to go in at the office

    Any plans to put a link in the “Next match” box on the OS? Would be handy to have something that stays on the homepage until the game.
    Anyway, hope it all goes smoothly. And good that paper tickets can still be bought on the day.

    Im doing it now. In fact, I had to stop doing it to reply to your post asking me if Im doing it ;) :lol:

    Falkirks team is full of jobbers they want shot of but gave 4 year contracts to. I'd rather be in our position of not being stuck with journeymen who didn't try a keg last season. Queens have a team that got them relegated, same as Dunfermline. Not concerned by either of them. Let's just see how we do over the next month. 

    You know teams change during the summer, right?
