This is a great analysis though. Does anyone with tickets in the South Stand have them outwith P1 and anyone in West Stand outwith A1/A2? West Stand A4. Row Z though Quicker exit at 82 minutes I guess… I’ll be back in Stenhousemuir by half seven Edited November 13, 2021 by TheRealNumber5 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wanting you to confirm that anyone not going to this game isn't a "proper fan" before I move on to the next part tbh. Geezo. Ok, IF you’re a Saints fan AND you can afford it AND you’re able to go on the particular day, why wouldn’t you go to this game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamamafegan Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Semi finals are generally all day affairs that cost 3/4 times as much as normal away daysIf you aren’t doing away days as an all day affair then you’re doing them wrong 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamora Fan Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I think if fans are in the financial and logistical position of being able to go to the semi but have chosen not to because we’re in poor form/they think we’ll get beat or whatever… that’s a pretty shitty attitude. Four Hampden wins in a row and two cup wins we couldn’t see a minute of and fans are skipping the first chance to see this team at Hampden because of a poorish start to the season?I reckon 2500 to 3000 seems about what we’d expect our minimum core support to be at these sort of games, but it’s a bit disappointing. Did we not take about 3500 to the Ibrox semi when no one thought we had a chance? Really poor if after the achievements last season we can’t at least match that, and it is also a shame the fair weather fans attracted by the Euro games in the summer don’t seem arsed. Fingers crossed the apathy from recent performances has resulted in people holding off on getting a ticket straight away rather than at all. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewh Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I got our tickets yesterday. The closer it got, the more appealing Premier Sports was becoming. The hassle of going there, outnumbered, vile sectarian fans, current form, stupid kick off time, high probability of poor refereeing, likelihood of defeat, etc., all ultimately laid aside. We’ll be there, but not expecting much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must’ve said it better as Random hasn’t been on to shoot you down. Or maybe he’s having a long lie and you’ll get it later! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Baffled as to why folk are saying Hampden is difficult to get to - it’s unbelievably easy. You get a train from Glasgow Central to Mount Florida and then make the 10 minute walk to Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't try and distinguish between "real fans" based on if they're going to this game or not. A subtle difference but considering how scunnered I am with the club in general just now, how I'm spending my spare time, and the fact I wanted to go but can't, it's just making me grumpy to have such things thrown in my general direction. I'd just ignore me tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ibrox semi being an example. Anyway hopefully your downer with the club will be resolved after our 2-0 win next Saturday!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviemay17 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Given the increasingly desperate tone on the Twitter page about Semi Final tickets, I would say it's safe to assume that the numbers are much lower than hoped 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be at 3 so I'd say 5:15 is better that 12:15 of 7:45? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get a train from Glasgow Central to Mount Florida and then make the 10 minute walk to Hampden. If it’s a financial reason for not going then fair enough. But if it’s the kick off time or the ‘accessibility’ then I don’t really understand it. 5.15 on a Saturday is a decent kick off time and Hampden is accessible by multiple Southside train stations from Central or you can also park in the Southside and walk up. Or supporters bus obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviemay17 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I would imagine the problem is more yet again, we've sucked any ounce of joy out of the club after an unprecedented achievement and are playing the worst football in the country. If I wasn't properly dedicated or die hard I wouldn't go either, I can also see that this close to xmas that any families who are hard up won't see this as a priority. It's a weird feeling to describe, I feel no sense of excitement or anticipation about this game at all, we are beyond tedious to watch 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird feeling to describe, I feel no sense of excitement or anticipation about this game at all, we are beyond tedious to watch True sadly. Going out of duty rather than with any sense of excitement as well. We had over 4000 at home to Livi a month or so ago, so there was plenty of interest there to build on, but other than the opening spells v Hearts and United, have mostly served up dogshite football to watch. No great periods of passing, barely any moments of individual skill to get you out your seat, 2 goals in 5 matches with hardly any attempts at goal over and above that. About 9000 turned up for each European game.. the club can only look at themselves for that level of interest evaporating. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tree house tam Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm in no way looking forward to the game tbh. Train through and day out in the pubs of Glasgow will be decent. The trip out to Hampden for the football, not so much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
