Not to mention the irony that our main sponsor is a web-design company. It's not a great advert for them when you scratch beyond the surface.

Surprised I've not been called out as an old BOD apologist (yet) this morning I could level my opinion on it at many of the previous regimes as I have no axe to grind with this one before it is said.

Jackie Myles Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 1 hour ago, Blame Me said: It's fairly simple - The tickets are sold out so why would I need to buy from or call the club shop! It is superflous in the *updated* article. I mentioned earlier that this ultimately has a cost somewhere. The myopic view is that it doesn't matter and it's mountains-out-of-mole-hills but the website and social media frankly isn't aimed at the die-hards as they will get their information from somewhere regardless. The content (if it even exists - see fixtures as an example) and accuracy is for the visiting, neutral or would-be fan as the website is likely their starting point. They're not going to hang around or come back and buy tickets and/or merchandise if they can't find what their looking for or rely on it being correct - just as we saw with Hibs PATG last week. We have to remember that we're not always preaching to the choir and that's why I call it out - not just to put the boot in! Our ST numbers and attendances can be lauded but I'm sure everyone wants to see that grow - that's surely part of how the shortfall gets plugged and not just by asking existing fans to contribute more. Hopefully this explains why this stuff is such a bugbear of mine. Nope I'm still not getting the issue here . Post was up with details of how to get tickets. Tickets sold out so this was added to the original post to say tickets have sold out so that anyone going back to that post can see it. No idea what all this knicker wetting is about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braes_Bairn Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 On a related note we still don’t have a fixtures list on our website. Been sitting for weeks as ‘page undergoing maintenance’. Bit of a joke that we still can’t get the basics right as a club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairney The Dinosaur Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Without trying to put words into others mouths I imagine the annoyance comes from the social media/website output being quite consistently sloppy. You can isolate every incident which would obviously trivialise the arguement, but there can be no denial that as a whole this is something which has been poor for a while now. Been a bit of jumping down people throats, admittedly justified at times, but sometimes there has been legitimate concerns. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schroedingers tickets - simultaneously sold out yet phone the club shop to buy them. If you can't see the error and potential for ambiguity in that then we can leave it be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this. For a number of reasons, there is undoubtedly room for optimism on the footballing side, and most people on here have been basking in the good feeling, as we all should. But I have spotted growing trend on here where people who raise even the most moderate of concerns - be it about football or non-footballing issues - are getting jumped on by folk accusing them of just moaning or being negative, as if they dare criticise the club for anything. While I'm sure there are a couple of them on here, not every everyone questioning something about the club is a puppet for the former BOD, which is one of the first accusations that often gets lobbed at them. That kind of factionalism makes those who engage in it look as much like the previous regime they seek to criticise - I don't believe they are actually anything like those charlatans, but it's not always a good look. We should all be in this together and pulling in the same direction, but people are still allowed to criticise or raise concerns.

If you read the post like any newbie should the sold out statement is well in advance of the phone for tickets which is right at the end. The sold out statement should tell you that you don't need to read any further. Not much ambiguity in that to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are areas of the website that deserve criticism but in this case it just seems to be folk moaning for the sake of it if you ask me. You don't surely have to be a dyed in the wool fan to realise that away tickets are sold out means away tickets are sold out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In real life it is exciting because nothing is perfect Sorry but it doesn't require "IT whizzkids" to operate this. The site and the software has been in place for a number of years now. The functionality should be understood by now and our comms team have been in place for a while now too. Also, see my earlier post re Crunchy Carrots - surely we can have our main sponsor fix bugs or tutor if necessary if that's the problem. 13 minutes ago, Senor Bairn said: Aye but like does it really matter? See my earlier post regarding plugging the shortfall. The hard reality is the website and social media are shop-fronts and we should be using every opportunity to maximise selling to someone (neutral, visitor or die-hard). If it's neglected folk don't come back regularly and your missing those opportunities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Myles Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Much more of a scunner is the total lack of provision for folk who don't know when whether they can go till later. Home team struggling to sell out but no patg or option to buy tickets online up to ko. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FFC1965 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Looking across the groups I'm assuming that (a) we will need 10 points to go through as winners and (b) 9 points is unlikely to be enough for us to go through (either as winners or runners up) I'm assuming that Hibs will beat Morton tonight and will end up on 9pts and a GD of +7 (+ margin of victory tonight) and that Killie, DAFC, Arbroath/Airdrie and QPFC/HAFC are all more likely to have a better 2nd place record than us if we end up on 9 points and in 2nd place behind Hibs. I know that folk have talked a bit about the "meaningless" penalty shoot outs in the League Cup but if we draw tonight there could be £50k riding on us getting a bonus point. But we're going to win tonight eh? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
