The terrace at Ochilview can hold around 3000 supporters, where else would you be given that many tickets for a game like this? Still, if there's anything to play for I'm hoping the club will divide it in half to squeeze in more Queen's fans like they proved is possible at a recent match, and give loads away to the local community and schools, with free buses too. 1000 - 1200 would be a more than reasonable away allocation IMO.

I’ll be recommending to our “board” that they wait until about 3 hours before kick-off. You’re welcome. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletar Spider Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 The club should be waiting until after Saturday's game to make a decision on tickets. If we're still in with a shout of winning the league I'd let Dundee have 50 at the absolute most. And if that means their fans missing out on seeing their team win the Championship then it's hardly a big deal: they'll get another chance in a couple of years. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typical weegie acting very Old Firm-y when it comes to allocations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been blessed...wish it would all come back quickly. Most noticeably Grant Savoury...not just the goals but the turns and positive runs. For what it's worth and purely on aesthetics my vote going to Savoury's v Hamilton, it was like watching a pin-ball machine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our committee and executive team have made some howling decisions over the last two years and are probably struggling with how to get this one right. And it is a very different decision depending on this week’s results. The form suggests you might win the league this weekend, so we might lose out on ticket sales for the final game. Or not. We stand accused of being a diddy team in a diddy stadium but we are where we are. I just hope the committee do the very best they can for our club, especially the supporters that our coach praises every week. And give the players the atmosphere they need to help them on. Ironically, if we had got Lesser ready that number of 50 for Dundee would have been accurate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My suggestion was on the assumption that the club would be feeling generous, but 300 would make it a much better experience for home fans.

Putting them on sale now won't result in more tickets being available. Fingers on the refresh button when they do go on sale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Reilly Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 Does anyone know what happened to the Spiders Talk Forum? The site seems to have been down for weeks. I know that there weren't many of our fans using it (cue jokes about the size of our support), so I wonder if the folk running it just gave up on it. If so, it's a shame it didn't take off in the way that had been hoped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran the old forum (which at the time was very successful) and a few of us tried to revive it with this latest iteration but you're right, it wasn't being used much and we decided it wasn't worth the money to maintain unfortunately. I think social media and the popularity of Pie & Bovril made it difficult to attract people. Personally though, I quite liked the idea of somewhere without other teams' fans inserting themselves into every conversation! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
