They can always get another hundred if there is an unusually high demand from their travelling fans. And get them in the corner of the main stand where every away support this season should be. We won't of course, because we remain a soft touch, which is why nonsense wee outfits like Hamilton can get away with this sort of stuff. Utter joke. I'm with you on this, none of the holier than thou "two wrongs don't make a right" shite. Don't get mad, get even.

Tea and Busquets Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Be aware as well for anyone who has purchased an U18’s ticket the girls in the shop said they expect Hamilton to be checking ID’s. Doing everything they can to delay us getting in it seems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Quite rightly being picked up as it’s not exclusively a Hamilton problem. I was off to Killie v Hearts when our Cove game was postponed with some Hearts supporting friends and I had to sit on my own in the killie end as any away end tickets had to be physically picked up at Tynecastle by 11am. The stand was about a third full! Similar story across lots of the top tier and an attitude that needs changing. The bigot brothers are of course the worst. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for confirming the practice of having away clubs selling their tickets is not unusual after all. FWIW I think this should be the catalyst for lower league clubs to agree on a standard format for eTickets. This would allow clubs like yourselves who have a support which has the potential to trouble the available allocation to sell, prioritise and distribute their allocation as they see fit, whilst also quite easily allowing the more vocal groups of supporters to pick seats together. It's a genuine shame tbh that we don't see those problems very often, but it doesn't mean we can't put things in place to be able to more effectively handle it when it does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Last season DAFC sold us e-tickets for both games at EEP and we had 2200 at the 1st game & 2600 at the 2nd game so it’s not a difficult problem to deal with. Topic has been done to death but I’m sure this has more to do with ensuring the U18 ticket price isn’t abused as much as it normally is. Be interesting to see how thorough the stewards are tomorrow. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamilton are at it. You know that, I know that, even their own fans know it. For whatever reason only they know but it certainly was a poor attempt to limit the Falkirk support. The authorities in Scotland let clubs just do what they want. No insistence on standards to protect the fans who fund the game. I hope we turn this tinpot shower over tomorrow.

Aye, there are many criticisms you can level at NDP but the view from any row really isn't one of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
