Correct, so a half-season ticket was £110 or £55 split between two, meaning you effectively could buy a ticket for £77. Loads of them will have done that. It's the only explanation, really.

I thought all season ticket holders were guaranteed a ticket until the public sale? Still tickets available for season ticket holders until Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Vojáček Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 5 hours ago, cedrick1 said: I bought a half ticket and asked the guy how many we had. 100 plus ordinary 100 plus concession and about 100 junior. Remember for this game players and comps will be greater than normsl Hospitality over the 2 halls must be about 150 or so ?? Been trying to do the maths in my head; assuming those figures are about right then you'd be looking at 600 tickets solely going to ST holders. Certainly every ST holder I know has bought a second ticket. Then you'd have players families. Say each player brings four people (mum, dad, partner and one other on average, some less, some more) you'd be looking at roughly another 100 or so. That's 700 already. Probably nearer 800 given we won't have exactly 300ST holders and the player figures are rough. 700 in the away end, 250 between directors, hospitality, press, sponsors, staff and other hingers-on would give us about 1,800. Once you take into account the fact that I don't think every seat can be occupied because of segregation, stewards and rozzers I'm sure the capacity is only about 1900 (1,978 is the highest we had against them in the Championship). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawkye Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Thought your numbers are about the same as I counted, but players were given 20 tickets each. (480) assuming we have a pool of 24. Haven't taken into account Farrell and his staff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftershocker Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 19 hours ago, FifeSons said: That’s 11 points we’ve now thrown away from 80+ mins this season. (well, technically 9 since we were drawing with Clyde at 80 mins). Though, we did gain late points against Forfar and East Fife at home tbf. Bonnyrigg (a) 1-0 up, FT 1–1, conceded 81’ Spartans (h) 1-0 up, FT 1-1, conceded 90’ Peterhead (h) 0-0, FT 0-1, conceded 85’ Stenhousemuir (h) 0-0, FT 0-1, conceded 87’ Clyde (h) 4-2 up, FT 4-4, conceded 90’, 90+2’ Peterhead (a) 1-0 up, FT 3-1, conceded 82’, 90’, 90+2’ As a completely pointless fact, if all those games had ended at 80 mins, we’d be 5 points behind Stenny, with a game in hand. As great a run as they’ve been on, trailing them by 16 points is surely unacceptable. I suspect this shows that our subs coming on with 10-15 mins to go are actually weakening the team instead on providing fresh legs...there's no one on the bench who is anywhere near a game changer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be amazed if our club would do without that. I had heard 6 comps each, that should be more than enough for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Imagine being that desperate to attend a shitey cup game against lower league opposition (that is being broadcast live) that you resort to buying a half season ticket for the opposing side to guarantee a ticket. I’ll gladly accept the daft buffoons money but what a bunch of weirdos! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O'Kelly Isley III Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 We maybe need to factor out Mark Durnan for a while, I'm hearing he has a miniscus problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A torn meniscus is an absolute pest of an injury if that's what it is. It's not agony like an ACL or anything, it's just a pain to get shot of. You can have a tidy-up operation, but I'd imagine that would rule him out for a wee while. Or you can just wait and it might heal itself. I did it years ago at school. We left it without an op because there would've been a big wait and I'm not a professional athlete, so it really didn't matter. Took me three months for it to get back to a normal level. But about a decade on I still have problems with that knee; it locks a lot and it just feels like there's no strength in it most of the time. Changing direction on astroturf makes it feel like it's just going to collapse. Why do we always end up with our captains getting knee injuries? First McGeever and now Durnan? Three seasons effectively playing without our captain because of a knee problem is extremely unfortunate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have heard he is walking with a limp so I can’t imagine he’ll be playing fitba’ any time soon. Mark Durnan has struggled with injury throughout his entire career and I’m fairly sure Crighton had a bad one in recent seasons. The fact it has taken until January to sort out backup for that position, whilst we have an abundance of midfielders sitting on the bench contributing nothing, is just terrible squad management and is a big factor in our recent struggles IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
