RiG Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 We were already selling tickets behind the goal somehow. Which is good because that's the only way to watch a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in behind the goal. They seem to be selling around 500 a day and they're open all day today. Some effort from the trust to get all this promoted as much as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PWL Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Just picked up 4. Boy in front bought 10 and guy was coming in as I left. Was told it's been steady all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB1994 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 As far as I can work out, going from the online ticket sales. Our part of the Main Stand is sold out apart from the bottom 5 rows in the Red Section. Apparently there is a singing section (the blue part) behind the goals so I wouldn't be surprised if all of the younger lads have bought up tickets in there. Shaping up to be a great crowd from both sides which is excellent to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 From all their posts the Dumbarton are understandably enthralled at the prospect of this final. Personally I can't be arsed. We've been here before a few times but for me right now it's more important to get to feck away from the play off zone., due to postponements our schedule is now loaded and we could do without this game right now, May would be better.

Honest Saints Fan Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Got my ticket going with lots of family. Even my nearly 80 year old grandfather. Doesn't get to games now as he lives in #perthshire so it being at McDiarmid is perfect. Need to organise transport from Inverness now, for me.

son hawk Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 I would guess just short of 3000 tickets sold so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or it could be seen as a way to take our minds off the league form, which has been shite recently, and if we win it will be a good lift to the club and players to push us away from the playoff place and into a safe mid table spot. I know in recent years we have been spoilt rotten with Cup Semis/Finals recently but a club like us should never turn our noses up at winning silverware. It could be the last we see of it in a very long time. Also it’s a great excuse for a day on the shot with your pals so I don’t by the can’t be arse attitude that a lot of our fans seem to have.

I hear what your saying, I'm an optimist but for the life of me I don't have a blue sky attitude towards whats happening with ICT right now, last season was a total feckin disaster where the blame lay directly with the board and management, then we come to this season where there was so much delay in appointing a manager who then had to scramble for what players were still available before the deadline, that time lost has been injurious over the season and left us probably battling to stay in this league, that's why that in my opinion we could do without this game right now. I fully understand the Dumbarton fans excitement towards this game but also given their similar position in the league I'm sure they would have preferred this final played in May. Through thick and thin I will continue buying my season ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Through thick and thin I will continue buying my season ticket. You’re right. We should all just sit at home next Saturday and not bother going to what could be the only positive thing to happen to our club in the last 2 years. Our previous chairman/board did total screw the club up and it will probably take years to solve the mess they left us in but there is no point on keeping on moaning about it and looking back into the past. Having it in May sounds like a disaster. Probably for the exact same reason you don’t think it should be played now. Imagine potentially having relegation play offs and a cup final at the same time? That would be a bigger distraction than having it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a bigger distraction than having it now. The past/last season has given us our present situation as there was no resolve at the beginning of this season. Given all that's happened we who pay our money have every right to moan, we did not cause the demise and by not moaning and not being heard some would think that that all is rosy with our club. You buy a car and two days later the wheels fall off, the garage supplies another car and the wheels fall of that one, moan???? Football is a product like any other, if you pay and are dissatisfied with a service....................................................................................................................

I never said it hadn't but that’s not a reason to not make the effort and go to a cup final. You seem to bring up the fact you pay money to the club a lot, why is that? I do the same so I don’t see why it is relevant. I never said people can’t moan about the club. I have been up there with the best of them in criticising how the club has been run recently and certainly don’t think everything is rosy. As if it was we would still be in the Premiership. But we are where we are and being in a Cup final is a positive thing. It’s not happy clapping. Yes I would moan about the car but I wouldn’t still be going on about it 10 months later. A club of our size will always go in cycles and this is part of the shite part of this cycle. I have just accepted that fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microdave Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Well, about 5 o'clock this evening my nerveometer seemed to go up a fair few notches. I think this might be a long week waiting for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
