San Starko Rover Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Maybe every game should be must win and a fiver. Place is mobbed... Hopefully they offer a similar price for the playoffs to get a good crowd in. Lads did well today with 10 men for ninety minutes, play like that again with 11 and we might have enough to stay up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there not some sort of rule about minimum pricing for play off matches now? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Club keeping prices at a fiver and season tickets being valid next week is a good move. Hopefully get another good crowd to give the players a boost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good to get a crowd similar to today's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike rankine Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Whilst the rest of the Dumbarton squad were taking the applause of the home fans at the final whistle today it was really noticeable that Lewis Vaughan made a beeline to someone on the touchline with a phone. From his facial expressions it was clear he was asking how the Raith v Ayr and Hibs v St.Mirren games has ended. He looked gutted.He's been an excellent player for us and he'll be fondly remembered wherever he goes. Got to give credit to him for the professionalism he has shown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A total professional and a great wee player. If we go down I can't see us keeping him, which is a shame because him and Jonny Court have the makings of a great front two. Not only that, but a front two produced by our own academy. If we can get those two, Matthews and Callachan in the team then it's something I could really get behind. There's nothing better footballing than supporting "your own". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Mariner Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 at half time today the prize for throwing the ball and getting the closest to Roary was a season ticket it is all young children who take part in this contest, none of whom will be able to attend SP on their own do the organisers of this prize know if the winner intends to ever come back and are her family prepared to come with her/him at £17 a go - was this thought of ? maybe they were only here because of the £5 entry fee, their first and only time just don't think that was the best prize for a young child maybe I have it all wrong ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Club keeping prices at a fiver and season tickets being valid next week is a good move. Hopefully get another good crowd to give the players a boost. If you Google Spfl playoff pricing. On 2015 there was a minimum pricing set after rangers charged only £5... has anything changed ,or is it just for the top league. Is this another Drysdale f**k up ?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I believe the rules regarding minimum pricing and the non-use of season tickets apply to the Premiership Play-offs only, because the SPFL take a fair whack of the gate receipts and use them to fund the next season's parachute payments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 of course I did what are you trying to say ?, still not the ideal prize for a young child I'm just baffled that you're grumbling that approximately 50 kids entered a competition to win a season ticket, and the winner received said prize. I doubt the previous winners were getting the bus up to Frankie and Benny's themselves either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
