I get the logic of that from a Queens perspective, but I still kind of hope they do, if only for the comedy value. It might also give us a couple of bigger games next season. I can't see us coming up via a route other than the play-offs anyway, so although another big club makes that less likely, it's not as if their presence is likely to impact much on our chances of the title. Mainly though, it's the comedy value, which it's a mistake to undervalue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I see that Airdrie have announced the prices for their home tie against Montrose as £12 and £5. Montrose are charging £15 and £8, with under 12s for £5. Parent and child ticket is £18. Queens Park are charging £15 and £10, with under 15s being £5. Our greedy lot are going with £20 and £14, with under 12s being £6. Add £2 to each of those for the main stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add £2 to each of those for the main stand.I don’t know why they don’t at least offer half price tickets to existing season ticket holders or even offer tickets for those who renew their season ticket (I understand that may be difficult not knowing what l league they will be playing in next season) They should really be reduced the prices and trying to encourage as big a crowd as possible at the games.It’s cheaper for me to take my son to Hampden to see Scotland play than it is to go along to East End. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Aye, the prices are a shocker and have been widely met with derision and disgust from our fanbase. If we get to the final you'd hope the club would drop the prices, but doubt they would. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 One of my pals noticed on FB memories that the price for a ticket against Dundee Utd in first leg of the play offs was £15! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_K_97 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hoping to get along to this as a neutral with my pal. Honestly not sure what to expect given the pessimistic nature of the Pars fans, I can understand why though given we were in a similar position last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Nothing to lose for us. No expectation and Dunfermline have it all to lose. First goal will be crucial for the while tie. We react horrendously to losing goals and I’m not sure a could see us coming back from being behind. On the other hand, if we take the lead, the Dunfermline players might start to feel the heat. Fans on their back etc. Keep the tie alive for Saturday has to be the aim. We’ve had the better of Cove Rangers this season and I doubt the gap between them and Dunfermline is huge. There’s also evidence that Dunfermline can be a decent side as well, though. Watched them blow Thistle away in one of the live games and it left me wondering how they’ve ended up in the nick they’re in. Heart says we can get through it if we turn up and things go our way. Head says Dunfermline will probably get through it comfortably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Just about the only advantage we as a club can control would be the home crowd for this game. It should've been reduced to maximum £10 to get in, have home fans take over the North Stand & (sorry QP fans) fire them into the top LH corner of the Cowdenbeath end. Every other team tries to use the home crowd to their advantage. Instead, we charge full price. We'll be lucky if there's 2000 at the game on Saturday. Our BOD really don't have a fucking clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Absolutely no danger that the collapse against QotS will affect the crowd as well. If we'd go into this on the back of a win I think we'd all be feeling a more optimistic. Instead, the squad showed that they're a bunch of fucking shitebags with a pathetic collective mentality, with few exceptions. Shouldn't the captain be a role model for the rest and fire them up? I never saw Lawless do that, much rather have Donaldson as captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Dunfermline website the ticket prices fir Saturday have been reduced to match Wednesday's prices. Fair play to your board for taking on board the criticism they received and reducing prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Lawless as a player, think he tries and his footballing brain is miles better than most other players which is a problem as they're standing still when he's looking for movement. However, I've seen little to nothing so far that confirms he should be captain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were last in the playoffs the ticket prices were reduced for them, (from £18 to £15). Why fucking lie? Why not just admit you made a mistake and here's what you're doing to rectify it? The board must think the fans are either mugs, or idiots. They're totally incapable of fronting upto there mistakes. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I wasn't going to the home leg with it being £20 it would have been the first home game other than Abroath that I have missed. Glad to see it's come down in price but still think it should have been £5 for season ticket holders and £10 for adults regardless of the stand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bizarre lie just makes it worse. If we get to the final, will they try it again? They say the prices are consistent with those at Firhill. What if we get to the final and play Airdrie, and they charge £18 or £20? Will the club do the same and just claim they are being 'consistent'? I suspect the club have missed their budget figure for the season by a considerable margin and are trying to recoup losses as much as possible. They surely didn't budget for 9th place. They surely didn't budget on having to punt a manager before November. Did they budget on a silly number of signings too? Doubt they would have budgeted for the winter games without fans either. Season ticket sales will have been down a lot due to the Grant appointment. If they were stupid enough to budget for the Scottish Cup then I don't think an immediate exit was in the plans, likewise with the Challenge Cup. The League Cup game with Sevco could have been a bonus mind, so might have mitigated some losses. Will be interesting to see the accounts for this season once they're released.
