Hawkeye the Gnu Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Heard we have now sold 1,300 tickets even tho many can’t be arsed and aren’t happy at the prices but should be a decent crowd for the ‘friendly’. Enjoy everyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far better uses of £20 than a friendly match. Think this arranged match is a mistake, no appetite for it at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our own support , particularly on here , love to moan about everything the club try to do but are extremely reluctant to come out and support the club by putting their hand in their pockets . Was at the KFCSA AGM tonight. We've sold 1300. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rb123 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Would imagine we'll sell 2/3,000, probably have 4,000 there max... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Mcleod Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 With Hastie I do think there is still potentially a player in there he did make a good impact a couple of times for us off the bench however that was in League 1 and I didn't expect him to get a championship club also aren't too bothered that we didn't sign him permanently. I was sort of expecting him to sign for someone like Cove especially giving the fact Hartley had signed him at Hartlepool. It wouldn't surprise me if Hastie does turn out to be a good signing especially given the fact that Brown might get the most out of him however it also wouldn't surprise me if his contract was to be ripped up or he gets loaned out in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomi Adeloye went to EK. Anyway: I am absolutely astonished to have just watched the website interviews. Jesus Christ. If the club can actually budget for this level of professionalism then A Good Feeling At Cappielow Somerset beckons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the west curve Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) 10 hours ago, Sortmeout said: I think the thing with the increased price for this game is that the clubs both know they’ll probably get at least 3000 people in at £20 a head whereas if you made it £10 a head you aren’t going to get 6000 to attend I don’t think. Also, and I’ve got no idea on the cost, but like everything in life I assume the costs for police and security are greatly increased to what they were 5 or 10 years ago. As we’ve talked about on this thread the potential for trouble is growing week on week it feels currently and I wouldn’t be surprised to find the police have said they need a certain number of police at a certain overtime cost even to get the game to go ahead. I can’t remember the exact details of the last time we played a friendly/ayrshire cup or the dreaded WestFM cup but it’s probably been at least a decade and it (probably) was £10 a ticket back then. I don’t blame the clubs for the pricing and at the same time wouldn’t blame anyone for not going along for the price or whatever reason. Killie have nothing to do with the pricing as they are taking no money from the game. They just want to give their fringe players a run out. On the attendance , most Killie fans are giving it a miss so I would imagine only around 1500 will travel.

OnlyAyrfaninTarbolton Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 It's a hit and hope signing with Hastie but would rather see him come on as a sub on the wing than see Bryden come on out of position and create nothing... Bryden needs to go out on loan and see if he can improve his all round game... Far too raw and inexperienced to play for us this year.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not really about the money, should be about having a backbone and standing up for the club. Maybe Mathie not wanting to rock the boat with Killie since he has ties there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth would we play a 2nd string side? It'll be as close to a full strength side as any injuries allow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do get the odd loan player due to proximity so you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
