HoBNob Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 As you say, why didn't we punish the thieves rather than the fans. I didn't mean queueing up was a real hardship but little things like that can be counter productive when trying to attract new fans. Smaller clubs than us operate a PATG system easily. The real reason was probably that nobody trusted us with loaning out cash for the turnstiles. Really how hard is it? Employ die hard pars fans to do it. Explain very specifically how you're getting punished. Very specially. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Rather than deal with a few criminals they changed the system making it more difficult for fans to get into the game and causing congestion and late kick offs at games. It's like everything I suppose, one or two arseholes ruin it for everyone. I do feel that the club need to look at it again, maybe trialing it for friendlies next season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 It's not more difficult though, unless you're coming from the Cowden end and sitting in the far end of the main stand you do absolutely no extra walking. We had congestion and late kick offs before also, it's what will happen when people turn up really late.They did deal with the "criminals" they got punted and the turnstiles are now manned by volunteers. The club find this system much easier to manage and it's pretty easy to see why, it doesn't put out the fans in the slightest, not even a fraction so I'm genuinely baffled as to what the problem is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get all hyped up pre-season, slog it out all season then lose a 90th minute equaliser in a vital game. Simmons and Casa both prompting jubilant celebrations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son is 17 and has been voluntarliy manning the turnstyles last season. I believe all who do it are volunteers & the majority are of a similar age. He basically allows season ticket hiolders to scan their cards & presses a button to let them in or tears a ticket in half & presses the same button. I can almost guarantee if the club made it PATG he & the other volunteers of that age would be binned & we would have to pay people to handle cash. The club is relying on volunteers to do so many tasks that they were otherwise have to pay for. It's where we're at so I'm afraid you are just going to have to deal with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdenbeath Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Don't see what the big deal about having to buy a ticket is. Sure I stood in a wee que at the ticket office last night but was probably served in 5 minutes, you can stand longer at a "pay" turnstile while waiting for folk in front of you getting their change. I would imagine that you can buy your ticket from DAFC though the week leading up to the match rather than just on the day its self?

Shooboax Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 You buy the ticket during the week or you buy it before you head into the ground for a pint. We averaged 3,400 at home last year with a couple of games around 5000 and over 7000 when we won the league. I never seen much of a queue at any game and I hardly missed a game.

We Are Pars Fans! Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Non issue with the ticket system. Usually a max 5 min wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listen, you Uncle Tom, stop sucking up to these Pars types.If we were humped 5-1 at Starks, Fantalk would be in meltdown; as is only right and proper. Getting humped 5-1 at home is unacceptable. Especially for a big team like Dunfermline. They should organise a day of mourning at EEP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Didn't Falkirk take a 7-0 arse-ripping last season? Their season didn't exactly go according to that one game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMessiah Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Also, Falkirk conceded 5 goals to Rory McAllister at home so not going to take that as a derailing quite yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 We need to be steady and hard to beat at home, I think bringing in Wedderburn was a good idea and already Geggan and the team is benefitting but the performance against Cowden was a worry. Our full backs are not top four material and going forward neither have a good delivery. I would play Martin before either. Could really do with a solid right back like Reid was. I think Fordyce can play there so maybe? I hope he comes back as good as he was. Ben is a worry for me, but hopefully the mistakes are sparse and he learns from them. We definitely need another striker or two, a finisher and a target man. Moffat is fantastic at holding the ball up but can't finish. Reilly looks a bit lost with the long balls tbh. Very hard to judge him as he's had not much to work with. For the first time I'm starting to doubt AJ and some of his decisions, how much of it has been governed by financial reasons is unclear but man for man we don't look like we can cope with the top four on paper in certain areas. If we play against fast skilful wingers it's game over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
