Hank Scorpio Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 Couldn’t have been easier to get the season ticket into my wallet. Got an email about 20 seconds after I bought it with a link that said “view ticket in your wallet”, clicked it and added it. I access it the same way I would if I was paying for something with Apple Pay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got an email with a link to the wallet in my FanBase account, which holds my tickets. I bought mine (hard copy) at the office, at the time I wasn't registered on Fanbase, but got an email from Fanbase as a receipt. I have joined Fanbase since but my season isn't available in my wallet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an email to the club is required. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Yeah, I went with the option to get both the e-ticket pass and the physical version too. E-ticket safely in Google wallet and physical in actual wallet. Good times. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Still waiting on my tickets being available on fan base and didn't get the physical ones. Phoned the club earlier and I'll get a comp tomorrow if it isn't through so no real hassle. Did take a while to get through but they've been busy with the Hibs tickets so it's to be expected 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We understand that you recently requested a seat swap to move into the singing section. Your digital season ticket was due to be updated today to reflect your new seat in the singing section, however, this will not be possible in time for the opening fixture tomorrow. Despite this, we would still like to make sure you have access to your new seat for tomorrow’s fixture. The process is detailed below: Following this email you will receive a match ticket via email for the game tomorrow in the seat you are due to move into (your current season ticket will be invalid for this one match) It will also be in your Fanbase wallet as well as on the email Use the match ticket you receive to gain entry to the stadium The season ticket seat swaps will be completed before the next home game on your digital season ticket and your printed season ticket if you have requested one. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 53 minutes ago, spot on said: Some new flags in the railway stand Just for some context, is there any real summary of what’s wrong with the Railway Stand and exactly what it would take to make it usable? I’ve sort of assumed it’s needing a new roof, seating, redone access/accommodations and such, but is it just a heap that needs demolished/replaced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve sort of assumed it’s needing a new roof, seating, redone access/accommodations and such, but is it just a heap that needs demolished/replaced. What's needed is alot of £££. The roof shouldn't need much, if any work seing as the signing section is now in that stand. I'm not sure what work has maybe been done at that end though. Going past on the train it does need a bit of tlc from the outside but probably nothing substantial. I don't think it's ever been made public the full extent of what is needing done for it and as much as I'd love to see it opened again, I just dont think it makes sense to further split our support over another area unless we can get another couple of thousand to every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For starters, it would need new seating at the southern end. On top of that, there's likely issues with the facilities/toilets which would need looked at. I think Sim used to say its hard to make any big changes (i.e knock it down and have a terrace down the side) because it's only accessible by the one side and runs past one of the few rail links from Aberdeen to London meaning the Network Rail are unlikely to help out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve sort of assumed it’s needing a new roof, seating, redone access/accommodations and such, but is it just a heap that needs demolished/replaced. Some people would have you believe it is falling down, it isn't, it would have been pulled down if it were. Some people have said it was unsafe, it isn't, ground staff, photographers, TV crews wouldn't be able to operate in the area if it were. John Sim had a plan to develop the stand for hospitality which was estimated @ >£1M, this was stated at an AGM, he joked that if anyone had a spare £1M it could probably get done, no one laughed. He also stated that it couldn't be converted to safe standing, I'm not sure of that, but he must have had a conversation with someone knowledgeable on the subject. Apart from that it's fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big issue dealing with NR is (IIRC) any works within 30 metres of the railway needs their say-so. If they deem that the track has to close for whatever reason, they charge an eye bleeding amount for the privilege. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 It's worth saying, that with the new board they've shown quite a few things which were "impossible" before were definitely possible with the application of skills and resources. McKenzie in particular has been great at this. I'd love for us to have a mural of Raith Rovers people up the back. Not even necessarily players: Ronnie Coyle, Ally Gourlay etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The SPL/SPFL view seems to be rail seats, like those at Parkhead would be the requirement for safe standing, so most likely there's an aspect of an inability to fix the necessary hardware onto the current concrete of the Railway Stand. Compared to the north end, the narrower, and more sloped south end looks unsuited to that. 12 minutes ago, Broken Algorithms said: For starters, it would need new seating at the southern end.

I suspect the 30m is old, but they do still suggest at least a 20 week lead time for "consultations", and they'd likely be read c**ts about work anyway, so that might be a consultation range requirement. 5 minutes ago, Broken Algorithms said: It's worth saying, that with the new board they've shown quite a few things which were "impossible" before were definitely possible with the application of skills and resources.

However, it's not a bad idea in principle, and our new village idiot overlords seem to get stuff done. Maybe using the endcaps of the south and north stands to support murals? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langtounlaud Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 Has anyone still not received their season ticket yet? My father in law hasn't got his yet, he had went down and bought it at the office in June so no confirmation email. He's worried about getting in to the game tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
