Pie Of The Month

I think it's one for renewing rather than joining. It must be something like that as there's 3.5k on 0 points in the supporters club or at least was at the last update prior to the renwal period.

For the inital ballot that's the case but there's more ballots after the draw and then one more again after the playoffs. They then have a sales period for tickets that were allocated in the ballot but not bought for whatever reason plus any returned from sponsors or either association if they didn't sell out their allocation. I think with you both being on at least 6 points by this time next year, possibly more if that Ukraine game and the renewal point are included you'll be fine if we qualify. Away tickets have been a nightmare recently but the allocations have been low for most of them post COVID and those at the very top who go everywhere are always going to buy tickets regardless but you tend to find as soon as we get any allocations which are into the multiple thousands they drop through the points fairly quickly. Belgium away for example ended up dropping to all members and that allocation was over 4k. A major tournament will obviously mean more go but I don't think it'll be to the point where there's a lot of members struggling for tickets.

Relatively painless getting the 5 match package this morning other than shelling out £300 for 2 of them just before Christmas. Assuming your youngest is starting off on 0 points then the package will have them on 5 points before the euros (and potentially 6 or 7 points if we have to go through playoffs and get home ties and you go to them). Members obviously move up and down but 5 points already puts someone above about 16k of the 38k members. The euros I believe you needed 15 points for the Hampden games and 13 points for the Wembley game and those allocations were 2-2500 due to the COVID capacity limits, if we're getting 10-15k allocations in Germany I don't see tickets being an issue for any member planning on going over once you factor in people like you were yourself who are members but don't bother with any away games. Plus you and your youngest will have as much chance as anyone in the UEFA ballot too.

This is a wind up right?

Rough has been a c**t for years so this is no surprise.

Yes and plenty of members will get tickets through the UEFA general sale ballot meaning they don't need tickets out of the SSC allocation and there'll be plenty who won't travel to Germany. Very few members who want to go should miss out.

I'm greatly enjoying these James Cairney series of interviews where he just lets people speak and make c***s of themselves. It's like a Scottish football version of Louis Theroux.

Dreadful interview by Britton on Sportsound pre-match where he wasn't challenged at all, albeit I guess whoever it was interviewing him isn't clued up on the goings on at Firhill. No mention from him he was a trustee on the PTFC Trust at the time the trust board appointed the current trustees, claimed the protest today was organised by a supporters' group, seemed to claim the pace of the share transfer is the main issue fans have with all of this and claimed the club board had no involvement in the discussions between 3BC and TJF or the Trust without mentioning the fact the club chairman is a director of 3BC.

The Trust are some laugh I'll give them that.

"Email us any questions" says the Trustees who already admitted in an interview they only reply to positive emails.

The club don't have my contact details and still send any emails regarding the season ticket such as the free bus codes to the person I bought my season ticket with. I've given up trying to get them to fix it after a 3rd attempt so good luck to the club contacting me for permission. Good luck to the Trust too since they are relying on the club's records in order to find out who their beneficiaries are.

Protest planned for Saturday.

We've conceded less goals with Nisbet on the pitch than Souttar so maybe we should play Nisbet at centre half.

No he didn't.

He was near me at the Dundee game in the John Lambie stand so possible he's been on annual leave. Appreciate this sounds a bit stalker-ish.

Ross Stewart and Kevin Nisbet should be back from injury after the break and in contention for 3rd choice striker. Stewart looked good at Championship level prior to his injury and if he continues that form he's out of contract in the summer so could either get a decent move or worst case scenario he signs a new deal with Sunderland and plays week in week out in the Championship. When we only play 1 of them most of the time anyway I'm not really sure it's much of a concern. Conway I thought looked fine at u21 level last night but nowhere near ready for the first team and then behind him we're probably looking at Rory Wilson at Aston Villa.

Nobody asked.

This u21s team could be very fun to watch in the next year if they stick together. Lightning quick and skilful going forward, Hackmey and Barron look like a good partnership in the middle and we look a bit ropey at the back.

1-0 Johnston, lovely move and pass from Doak to set it up.

It was almost better when we heard nothing from them as everything they come out with is a car crash.

6 minutes later...

If as the Irish media speculated they get the 2nd host qualifiying place for providing more stadiums then questions should be asked about why we weren't pushing for a 2nd stadium (especially when it looks like there's no rules about a max of 1 per city going by the list) or why we are involved in this at all. By 2028 we could've potentially hosted 2 major tournaments in Scotland and had 1 where hardly anyone could go due to attendance restrictions and 1 where we haven't qualified.
