Mediocre Pundit Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 35 minutes ago, The Thistle Archive said: Ah, thought it might be something along those lines. 15% would be kinda spot on. Not nearly as impressive a boast as it first seemed, but still a great turnout. To be fair, when I finally got through the queues and into section 7 the vomitoreum was mobbed and it was hard to find a seat - people were being helped to seats by stewards 10 mins into the game. So the capacity was probably broadly appropriate for no designated seating. clearly designated seating would have been useful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to stop people wandering around long after kick off trying to find a seat or some areas becoming overcrowded. That’s a fair load of money the club has lost out on then. why not allocated seating? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K77 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) I think you have to look at the running of the club over the last couple of years by the previous board. Our stadium capacity isn’t dictated by the number of seats in a stand. It’s the number of seats that are safely useable and in the jhs alone that could be up to 300 (allegedly) broken seats that can’t be sold. Couple that with a bumper crowd and a ticketing system that said the jls stand was sold out when it was half full. understandable that this needs to be managed. Edit to add the mismanagement of the stadium is down to the previous board failing to invest any money in the upkeep of the stadium.

jagfox Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I see we have a new, front of shirt, sponsor. Good to have a two year deal in place but I'm not sure it will look particularly great on our new strip(s). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under Doolan, we can build a prestige team. ETA. Maybe part of the deal is to tart up our dilapidated stadium.

Not even just beating teams but blowing them away. Got a lot of time for Doolans approach. Hope you give County 5 up there and sail on up to the Premiership with us. Ditto Great club Thistle, do it! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Is Lee Hodson still at the club? He wasn’t on the bench on Thursday and I saw today he’s been released by Kilmarnock. I just don’t want us to field an ineligible player Edited June 3, 2023 by Smurph 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, I suppose, giving them the benefit of the doubt, they just didn’t think if there were any consequences. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Kilmarnock's statement says "departing upon completion of their contract" which would suggest their contracts are yet to finish. I doubt it'll be an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few reasons. The ticketing system doesn't allocate a seat and if that was to be changed by IT people it would be costly. The other option would be to have sold printed tickets with seats on those tickets, but again there is needless costs involved. It might also be the fact that, apart from the point of broken seats already made, Thistle and County only get to share 45% of the gate, after costs are deducted so perhaps the club weren't that "bovvered"? It was fairly chaotic in section 7 of the JHS but it sorted itself out eventually. All added to a cracking atmosphere. I see on my Dingwall ticket there are allocated seats but I doubt anyone will pay any attention to that. Should be a cracking atmosphere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JagsCG Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 For most matches played at Firhill, unallocated seating is fine. It allows people to sit (mostly) wherever they like and with whoever they want. There’s plenty of people that have an allocated ST seat that they never actually sit in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan57 Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Pretty sure that in previous seasons, when buying tickets that weren’t on the ST, they were allocated to the ST card. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our playoff form, probably. The Thistle Archive people posted a list of all the records that Thistle have broken during this playoff run - it’s well over a dozen. Considering we just scraped into the playoffs by goal difference, I don’t think any of us saw this coming. As for today, I still think we need to score twice to be sure of going up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
