Wouldn’t shock me if the RV tickets are the first section they need to sell too as why else would you mention it. If it were those being sold last then those buying last would just need to take it or leave it.

Just now, Shodwall cat said:
So what would they do if they drew say Celtic I wonder ? Just punt it out to public sale. Surely no.
I think they’d let Celtic sell themselves. You wonder if we’ve declined that option (due to Celtic sales starting this week) or maybe not given it I suppose.

Surprised with the limited numbers it isn't season ticket holders first.
Stenny only do fanbase app now so assume that would be problematic

Be shocked if we don’t sell 1800 though with the distance and the fact it’s our only “local” game until 5th Oct.

Yes in theory but then you have queues forming in an active car park and someone has to manage that at the far away side.
Having not been in the NS for a long while I assume it's similar setup with automatic scanners? If so, then what was the hold up with e-tickets side?
Get the argument re online only sales but that does seem to put less technically savvy off. Is a solution to offer e-tickets away from the turnstiles and allow cash/card with someone from the club operating it. Then fans just need to scan and enter.
I am still hesitant to blame the club entirely on this occasion.
100% not on the club. Sounds like there was a range of factors, starting with Thistle underestimating their likely crowd.
Re the car park, there are at least 3 stewards who don’t do anything bar stand at a temp fence to stop it being blown down by the wind. These guys could have been better utilised but I’m sure the club will be all over this in future and will end up having the inside of the stand ready just Incase for some fixtures (Pars, Raith, Thistle, Ayr & maybe Airdrie).

You do realise that there is a gym set out on the East side of the away stand?
The midweek before a game the clubs have an operational meeting at which away fan likely attendance is discussed. If you looked at the set up of the stand to begin with is was clear that they had set up for about 800 coming. Clearly there was about 40% more turned up than planned and they had to use other sections. For the full house the week before the club clear the gym that rents out the stand so both sets of turnstiles can be used. They was no issue at the Hearts game. So IMO the club were caught out yesterday as more turned up than expected (and I would guess advised by PT)but they could not open the other side turnstiles as the gym is all set up in that part of the stand.
I future it looks to me the club have two options. Clear the gym for every home game or build two extra turnstiles at the West side if the north stand.I think they really will need to look at clearing the full stand just in case. Well for some of the games. No need for Accies, Queens Park, Livingston and likely Morton.

No surprise that after 5 years away, Morten have achieved absolutely nothing - apart from their crumbling stadium becoming even more run down.
2-0 Bairns in front of a very large and horny away support
Achieving nothing of note is what they have been good at for the almost 40 years I’ve watched Scottish football. Feel sorry for them too that even with our banter years behind us, we are still more likely to grace the top flight again before them. Oh the banter.

true what about the crossfire gym?
They must have a plan B for their equipment as Hearts had the full stand open the week before.
FWIW my only gripe having seen all of the comments including Jamie’s on Twitter is that there appears to be an abundance of under used stewards in the home car park. 1 or 2 could have been brought over to help man 2 extra turnstiles. It wouldn’t have helped with the closed pie stall at that end but would have helped entry to the stadium.
Agree that the way forward is just to make all games all ticket. We are so far down the road now since COVID that most fans know they can’t use cash on the day.

We are still living rent free in Morton minds I see
. Most one sided “rivalry” in Scottish football.
On the game, will be interesting to see if Morton are as poor as highlights and social media gripes suggest. Free hit for us as surely little old league 1 Falkirk will be swept aside in Greenock…

Anyone know when the club shop opens? Bought two tickets together for the main stand and now my other pal says he wants to come. Only way to get three seats together would be to move further along. Anyone know if the club shop could help me with this?
100% they will be able to help. Shop open from 9am I’m sure but wouldn’t go too late towards KO as queues will be mental.

Ticket sales only for main stand. No cash sales. Would assume another large home support.
Less than 450 left apparently

Think this could be a cracking game. If I didn't have the attraction of a three and a half hour round trip to Annan I'd likely go along.
Annan is a great day out

We won’t face anyone better than Hearts in the league this season. I sound like a broken record but if we do what we can do and do it well, we’ll pick up 3pts most weeks. We will have bumps of course but the cup losses to Bonnyrigg, TNS & more recently Ayr Utd, have not done any damage going forward.

Toying with taking the electric car to the game on Saturday - Anyone used the EV chargers on a match day?
Are you charged for match day parking aswell as the charger? Tried calling the club and no answer.
ST holder and I travel from Inverness so would definitely need a charge - just wondering if it's worth the hassle or of the the trusty auld diesel is doing another full season...
As far as I know the EV charging is first come first served and is before the charging point/steward so don’t believe you would be charged for match day parking. I know the council do check people are only parking there for charging

It's so far from must win us. Aye it’s not been great yet. We are far from the finished article just now. Even if Falkirk do win, I won't be hitting any panic button's yet. Let's just remember we were 8 points behind a Falkirk team in L1 with a handful of games to go and won the league.
Not this standard of Falkirk team but I get your point. My must win comment was on the basis that to win the league (almost any league) you can’t afford to drop too many points to challengers. 1pt from 9pts isn’t a great start for any team so for me it feels must win. Or it would in my shoes.

The only player that McGlynn signed that I thought was poor (and it’s some feat to only have one) was the boy Wright on loan from County, he was awful.

It’s must win for Thistle imho so may see they come out at us but that will be good for us too on the break & with our pace, could lead to problems for them. Should be a brilliant game and a crowd of over 5,000.

I’m not sure thats true. Plenty of the older stadiums down south have RV tickets and there doesn’t seem to be any issue with them doing it. Celtic have had this pillar issue 30 years almost so can’t be too much of an issue up here either.
