PELE Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 2 hours ago, Mattmc said: Thats pretty poor. Licensing criteria isn’t really working if that’s all they can offer away fans. Stranraer are one of the poorest supported teams in the league yet easily take a crowd of 125 or more when playing in the central belt. Should East Kilbride go up there will be quite a few teams with the same issue. I understand this is an issue for the likes of Old Firm getting away tickets but should never be an issue at this level. If EK make it up, I would expect every home game to be all ticket. I believe the official capacity is 660. Although I agree with Possil YM. They could get more in than that. Ironically, they don't usually let fans into the terrace behind one goal. They only let us in during a league game after it got too crowded in the area to the left of the small stand and fans in the stand complained about having their view blocked. I think the crowd was 548 when we played them in the first leg of the play off in 2017 and nearly 1,700 for the game at Central Park. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terrace was open vs Rangers B when I attended last season & boosted the crowd / atmosphere considerably. Would be daft to have it closed if they get up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re punting teams out the league based on grounds then Forthbank would be one of the last to fall. Four sides with a mixture of terracing and seats, the perfect size for a club like the Binos. Easy to create a good atmosphere. Close enough to facilities and the city. Plenty of parking, and absolutely stunning views when the game is rubbish. Watching Uni games there like you’ll be used to is probably a bit miserable, granted. But it is exactly what I wish The Rock was like. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is exactly what I wish The Rock was like. Maybe I'm being a bit unfair on Forthbank. It looks a proper stadium but in reality it's soulless most of the time and yes I've been there for both Binos and Uni games, and there's more atmosphere on the moon. It only comes alive when it's reasonably full with the terracing open. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM. Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Forthbank is a cracking little ground and would be one of my first choices as a blueprint to follow if we ever get our own place again. Not really noticed a massive lack of atmosphere any time I've been to watch Clyde there either, certainly not compared to plenty of other lower league grounds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the new criteria is the town must have <150 roundabouts. Get them nuked and maybe next year we'll be happier you're joining us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 8 Share Posted May 8 I see Stranraer have been offered 150 tickets. Have EK any intention or means of increasing their capacity should they win the play offs? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowdenleith Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Just in case anyone thought this was sold out in a flash, as of an hour ago there were still 50 tickets left for tomorrow if anyone fancies it. Can only buy at the ground though from 1pm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
