Hughsie Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 At the very least I hope they record those who get a ticket tomorrow so that they’re discounted for future games. I know that sounds cunty but otherwise it’ll be the same 380 folk every week. I do sympathize with the club for this game but would expect a much better system going forward, assuming that we’ll be restricted for the next month or two at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had this happened before you invested some money you’d be all over it but you can’t possibly say a bad word about the club now. First come first served is the most unfair way. Also, how the f**k can you ‘guarantee’ 20% would hand them back? Another nonsense statement. Also, hospitality day trippers trumping season ticket holders Another poor call from the club but “let’s all pull together” I really don’t see what else they could do for this game other than maybe 50% online as I said earlier. Jamie Swinney has given an explanation as to why they could not do anything else this time. They should IMO be able to sort something for the Dumbarton game that is fairer. I believe that was the sort of numbers that passed their tickets on at the last balloted game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Again, I don’t know the ins and outs of the system we use but I notice Motherwell are running a ballot and use Ticketmaster (who I think we use). Anyway, it is what it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roman_bairn Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I see clubs in our division have voted to play on through the 500 attendance limit.Can’t imagine we would have voted for that?… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knee jerk reaction Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Club put in a bad position but they must put a system in for the next time as some people will never get a ticket for a game.

LatapyBairn. Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Club have been put in a tricky position here at late notice, I’m happy with the explanation Jamie Swinney has given as to why it needs to be on a first come first serve basis, don’t see how else it could have been done in a way that can accommodate family bubbles, parents or adults that sit with young children or careers who perhaps take an elderly or partially disabled fan to games. A random ballot would cause to much disruption to that with only 380 tickets available. If it is to be a long term thing hopefully the club can get the heads together and arrange a way where all season ticket holders have an even chance of a ticket going forward rather than just first come first serve, perhaps removing anybody who is successful in getting tickets for the Clyde game from the next ballot or something to that effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Not sure? Close down, no furlough and bring in no income? Especially if this goes on. Not sure if ST holders would be too happy, but knowing all ST holders can watch for free on FTV anyway, and given the financial situation for the club, I’d make all 500 tickets chargeable on a first come basis but offer a discount on all STs next season in return. After all the majority of ST holders are not going to get in to the game anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 If they do a ballot for the Dumbarton game and I get offered a ticket I will tell them to give it to someone else. I’ve just renewed and think those who have been suffering all season she get first dabs on tickets, plus I’m happy sitting watching in the warm house on TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Like all clubs caught in the headlights with the fans cap. Still a very poor decision and no doubt unless you get down there early doors, you’ve no chance of a ticket.’ I’ve no doubt people will be picking up for many. Reluctantly accept this decision, but those who are lucky to get a ticket are not included for the next game. In today’s electronic world we live in, cannot understand why a simple electronic ballet was not conducted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lower leagues don't have a winter break I don't think there is an easy answer here, 2300 season tickets and the outline is two games are effected (it will be more) 760 into 2300 doesn't go, leaving mass amounts of folk unhappy no matter what you do Thanks Nicola 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Duck Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 They could have at least put them on “sale” on Friday rather than tomorrow. 14 hours notice isn’t great in terms of people being able to make arrangements to get to TFS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there any trialists playing? McGuffie was playing LWB on Saturday. McCann must be injured rather than Covid related as he was sitting amongst the subs. Didnt realise how wee he is, his feet were dangling off the seat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
