true_rover Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Basically everyone bar the season ticket holders could be classed as a casual/occasional/big game fan. Making it more hassle than it needs to be to attend isn’t going to turn them into regulars.If done properly it's barely even a hassle. Queue up, hand over money and get a ticket. Wander over to the turnstile which won't have much of a queue as people coming up will be staggered by the first queue and head in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the case at EEP, with the cash being centralised you have less chance of individual turnstiles running out of change etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll find out Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Must say, it's fantastic to see folk trying to drum up atmosphere at Starks Park. Absolutely fair play and hope it continues. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I’d now be happy if we could just go on a good run of form. And finish a strong 2nd. The worst thing (other than missing out on the play offs) would be if we miraculously got within touching distance of Arbroath only to fluff it on the final day....again. The gaffer needs to do something drastic with the defence, it’s looking like the root of all our woes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreverarover Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 In terms of the Club Strategy Document, i’d suggest we’re some way from where we want to be.I'll tell you a core fan base of 2500_3000 was last seen in the old spl top league 20+ years ago.

foreverarover Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I stood in a pretty small queue for at least 10 minutes waiting to buy the 'friend for a fiver' ticket when we played Forfar and it's very slow moving. If we have the staff it may be worth trying to also open the two windows at the front, on top of the two at the side, to speed the process up. However, giving the turnstile operator a set amount of tickets and handing them out and counting the takings vs tickets issued seems the smartest way to go on Saturday. I'm a super fan so have a season ticket so no issues here *smirks*. Tbf I couldnt understand the season ticket holder just saying at the gate "he is with me" and do away with the ticket idea that day. Do they not trust the turnstile staff?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cursory glance at the league table confirms that already; not sure who exactly your club is hoping to fool on that score. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
