Marshmallo Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Our final total will be well clear of St Mirren and Dunfermline. You'd have to wonder why we don't start selling ours sooner though We didn't know which league we'd be in. I'd also question if we'll pass both those clubs. Can see there being a big drop off with the early bird so close to finishing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything from 300-500 in the last couple of seasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DU started selling at the beginning of May(must've been desperate for cashflow), Dunfermline the 9th and St Mirren the 17th. We didint start selling ours till the 31st of May.

Newbornbairn Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Doesn't make sense for the club to push Early Bird tickets. Every ticket sold on EB is £25 lost. Yes, offer it as a "service", a "reward", a "loyalty bonus" or whatever the marketing blurb is but the real sales push should come once EB closes. That's when the signings will be made and the press releases will flow like Willie Collum's yellow cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only presume they were too scared to start selling season tickets to soon after United pumped us. I reckon selling a week earlier might have made a bit of a difference with it being a pay week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't take us well ahead of St Mirren on Dunfermline if that's the number. Neither did United. I can only presume they were too scared to start selling season tickets to soon after United pumped us. I reckon selling a week earlier might have made a bit of a difference with it being a pay week. United were absolutely desperate to get cash in. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kinda signing would have currently paid up season ticket holders looking for a full refund It was also a concern seeing Lee Miller active over a David Clarkson tweet, tho thankfully you have him signed up Edited June 28, 2017 by MrDust 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His playing contract ran out in June though and he hasn't been renewed. Whilst he's technically still a paid employee of SMFC he is no longer part of the playing staff, same with Andy Webster and both are allowed to continue playing elsewhere if they so wish. Clarkson won't be fit until some time between December and February though so there's no danger of a team signing him any time soon.

RichieBairn Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 I would take Michael O'Halloran who has been frozen out at 'The Rangers'. Plays wide right or through the middle and has plenty of pace but never going to happen. Couldn't afford his wage demands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season tickets should've been on sale on the Monday at the latest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder Falkirk fans find themselves disappointed with their signings if you're expecting the likes of Michael O'Halloran. We've enquired about him, but in all likelihood we'll have zero chance of getting him either because 1) Rangers will want a fee if he's to leave permanently and 2) he multiplied his wage by at least 2 and probably more when he left us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
