ATLIS Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Still mad to think that 7 years ago we were about to go into another administration with debts of 1.8m and scrapping to stay in the Championship. Here we are now, about to wipe the debt during our 3rd season in the Premier League. Genuinely mad to think about where our club would be without David Hopkin, David Martindale and John Ward. Holt has a huge hand in it too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afro Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Apparently we’ve sold just a couple of hundred season tickets. I know we do not have, and never will have, a fan base anywhere near the likes of Hearts, Hibs, United, Motherwell, etc., but to only have an uptake of 20-30% of last season’s total is horrendous considering the circumstances. Even with financial pressures from what’s been going on, that’s a tragically low figure and bar Hamilton who haven’t sold any out of choice, must be the lowest in the top flight. I’d be willing to bet the next highest sales figure is a factor of 10 of what our total stands at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I reckon there will be a lot of one virtual season ticket per household. Maybe we’ll see a higher uptake than usual of the half (physical) season tickets, depending on how we manage the virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLIS Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 Surely we haven't only sold 200? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 20, 2020 Share Posted August 20, 2020 I could believe ST sales are significantly down based on financial issues from the pandemic; household tickets; and people going PPV... Was our figure last season 1300ish? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The impact of COVID in relation to games being behind closed doors will have put a lot of people off. We have a hard core ST support of approximately 800, and as Crispy says, one ST will now do a household. Maybe a lot of ST holders do it to get out the house as opposed to watch the actual game? I dunno. Add to all of that the crippling apathy towards the club by the locals, and this is the result. The staff at the club burst their arse on a daily basis to keep the place going, and for very little reward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livi are rebuilding the Lennon-era Hibs team, one free agent at a time. Back-to-back wins at Ibrox are on the menu, lads! Might take them a wee while before they get to pick up that John McGinn, right enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voluntary donations fund seems to be doing reasonably well, but income would be horribly low if those numbers were true. Hopefully the PPV numbers are doing ok to make up for it, but I wouldn't bet on that either. The uncertainty doesn't help either - I don't live in the area any more although I'd have bought a season ticket if it were confirmed that the virtual tickets were available all season. Alas not, so I'm paying the PPV every week. Hopefully numbers start to look a lot better from September 14th when stadiums are allowed to have small numbers in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's only been one PPV game so far this season; Hibs. The Sevco game was on Sky so we obviously weren't allowed to sell any access on PPV and apparently the only people able to watch it, other than Sky customers, were Season ticket holders. It bug me that most of our home games against the old firm are televised on Sky, but pretty much all of the away games aren't, meaning that we have to give money to the the clubs (that don't really need it) if we want to watch the game live but get pretty much zero in return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, with the current squad, its unlikely that he'd even get a regular place on the bench at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
