kevthedee Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Feel for the people who did not get a ticket, I was the last one allowed into the shop for tickets. I was kept outside the shop until the guy in front of me was served ( he got 5) The guy behind the counter told me Congratulations you have just bought the last 2 tickets. I queued up from 08.55 and counted around 85 people in front of me. I would like to congratulate the guy behind the counter with my foot up his arse for not having the balls to tell people who had been freezing for hours they had sold out,instead he sent his lackie out.

Jan Vojáček Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Any sons fans.Whats the best way to get to the ground from Glasgow Central.Train to Dumbarton Central and then walking? Get off at Dumbarton East mate, then just head towards the Rock. You can't go wrong, it's about 10 minutes walk if you're slow and 5 minutes if - like me - you're blessed with Steven Saunders-esque legs. https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Dumbarton+East,+Dumbarton/Dumbarton+Football+Stadium,+Dumbarton+Football+Club+Ltd,+Castle+Road,+Dumbarton/@55.9399977,-4.5615677,16z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x4888529de7251209:0x2a3e7d48c0fa82a8!2m2!1d-4.55412!2d55.94224!1m5!1m1!1s0x48884d6030afb8bf:0x21f6fc2ae59cb06d!2m2!1d-4.5614257!2d55.9379939?hl=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elportogrande Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I would like to congratulate the guy behind the counter with my foot up his arse for not having the balls to tell people who had been freezing for hours they had sold out,instead he sent his lackie out. I don't think it would have been too difficult for someone in the shop to go out, have a head count and let people know what realistic chances they had to get tickets. There were hundreds of people behind me who were freezing their arses off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sons'r'us Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I know I'm a bit out of place here but why would Dumbarton build their stadium there if they couldn't ever expand or put a terrace anywhere else. When we built the stadium there weren't any houses next to it. Since then houses have been built which apparently makes any further expansion more difficult.The stadium was also built in a bit of a hurry with major funding issues. At the time our majority share holder Neil Rankine had sold Boghead and we all thought he was going to do a runner with the money. We were just delighted to get a new stadium and remain in existence. I'm not convinced we couldn't expand but this story seems to have surfaced in parallel with plans with a move to another new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demand for this game will not be so high e.g loads of Dumbarton locals that support Rangers. I'd imagine you'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 We've only ever completely filled the stadium 4 times or something and that's due to Hearts and Rangers being in the Championship. We have no need to expand. Where were these hoardes of Dundonians any other time they've played down the Rock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squeezeboxson Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Defo. Hope you all get home end tickets, then get denied entry, thus leading to a terribly shite day all round. Don't mind them getting tickets, as long as I get mine first, and of course behave themselves unlike certain others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will the polis not go bernarnars at a load of folk binging aloft a big dokkie? If the set up is anything like our all ticket matches this season then you won't get down Castle Road without a ticket. Polis set up a barrier and only let through folk with tickets/folk who live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the boys planning on it wouldn't need the wind, they'd more than likely dive head first off it for a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
