Yeah Rangers have a system that automatically takes funds out their fans accounts and gives them a ticket even if they dont want one. That's why theres always millions for sale on twitter. A great system. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint pogo Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I'm all for the decision to open up the stands to the old firm as per all the arguments from when it was first announced. But also as I find it more enjoyable to be in a packed stadium and I think our players would too. I go mostly to away games as I live south central belt but enjoy them more than our home games due to bigger crowds and a better sense of belonging with the away Saints fans. I for one would find being in a full Saints main stand with a sold out away support an enticement to head up the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 That you are already seeing Celtic fans trying to sell spares suggests they have CSCs/fans who will always buy tickets for which they are eligible to keep their points totals up. Will that be the case? @gannonball Being able to fill 4,700 seats in that situation is one thing but I'm sceptical they'll manage to fill their new allocation, especially on a midweek night. And if folk can't shift their spares then they'll have a decision to make about whether they spend £30 on a ticket(s) they end up lumbered with in future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloPerth Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 A celtic fan at work was saying the same thing, that folk snap up away tickets for every match as it keeps up their points tally so that when the much more sought after away tickets come round (Ibrox, Tynecastle, Easter Road, Pittodrie etc), they have a good chance of buying them. This is often for matches they're not going to. The thought that an extra 2600 OF fans are paying us £30 a head when potentially not many more will be at the game simply because they have to, is quite satisfying. But we better have something to show from this by the end of the January window in terms of a couple of quality signings! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 What would Saints fans feel was an acceptable deal for Kennedy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to put a number on it, because it's not just the cash. If Matty goes this month, IMO it materially increses the risk of relegation. Not say that we're safe if he stays of course but without him much tougher, If we can get enough to secure at least 1 CB/RB and a striker that's good for 6-8 goals, that we can get in now and get playing in the next fortnight then maybe. But with Callaghan out and extra ticket money from the OF coming in you'd have to think that we could do the defender. Not sure any price would be worth it. It's pretty high risk to sell your best player when you're 2 points off the playoff spot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been more of a case of late .The Home cup ticket scheme used to guarantee a hampden ticket near enough but not now with so many on it. Add in cut allocations for Aberdeen, Hearts (at times) and the **** and more people/Csc’s are reluctant to turn down tickets.

Why do Aberdeen fans constantly suggest utterly fucking moronic deals (Gleeson/McLennan on loan) when its blatantly obvious it would be a dreadful deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not nearly enough for my liking but that's about what I'd expect Saints to agree to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First you were moaning about your club not e-mailing you on a regular basis to try and get your engagement, now your moaning about an automated system where there's presumably an an opt-in to automatically get tickets. Where do you draw the line? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes not trained since he signed a contract with Aberdeen. How much of a part are you expecting him to play in us fighting relegation? I expected him to respect the club and manager enough to play for the club who rescued him off the scrapheap, but sadly it seems like hes trying to force the clubs hands (DISCLAIMER: This is just based on the reports hes not trained and isn't injured, if it comes out he been told to stay away/is injured, I'll admit I was wrong). Maybe shows how lucky we were with Liam Craig. If it does turn out he's staying away to force a move, I'll have lost a huge amount of respect for him, and McInnes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he stays cannot see him trying but just going through the motions - if selected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said as much yourself in your previous post - if he’s staying away or is starting to pretend he’s injured rather than play then it forces our hand. We’re better off getting something from it. Cash + a quality, experienced centre back to help us to the end of the season seems alright. The cash will allow us to bring in at least one other quality player too. I’ve no idea if he is genuinely injured or the club are saying he’s injured prior to him being moved on a la Foster. If he’s fit and willing, I’d still be inclined to keep him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, and its pure speculation and I'm usually wrong, its too much of a coincidence that we find out Matty Kennedy hasn't trained with Saints since Tuesday, the day before his PCA with Aberdeen was officially announced by both clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
