Bring Your Own Socks Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Listened to the Fox interview this morning. The part about the U-18 team being a year ahead of the first team on the Beukerball programme is quite staggering. Seemingly a squad of good individuals about to go into overdrive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GloriousHoops Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 ST bought. First ST I've bought for about six seasons. I gave up and moved my ST monies to the Glasgow Warriors. At that time the quality of entertainment was poor and I just couldn't stand to listen to the disloyal gobsh*tes dissing the team. After supporting the team for about twenty years I needed a break, a change of scene. But I'm totally fascinated by the whole moneyball lore. I'm in, hook line and sinker again. A wee word of compliment to the Spider's Talk podcast which also rekindled my love for the Glorious Hoops. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though they might have played at Lesser. There weren't spectator facilities there last year, one of the reasons that games weren't publicised. Charlie Fox mentioned that facilitates had been upgraded at Lochinch. Did that extend to spectator facilities? Maybe the women will move into Lesser when the first team move to Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider1975 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Well, tried to purchase a ST today but failed. Due to work likely having me in London more often than not was planning on purchasing for me and Son (U15 concession), hopeful that if I couldn't attend, another family member could go in my place - was told that wasn't possible/allowed as it is a condition of sale that the ST holder has to attend, which although a bit inflexible I kind of get, (despite ST holders being allowed to take a friend both to the Dundee and test games). Anyhoo, I then asked if I could buy an ST for my son on the basis that whomever accompanied him could sit beside him at games and was told again categorically no given ST sales were high they wouldn't have space to accommodate. I get that Lesser might be restricted but the notion they couldn't accommodate the latter request at Hampden stumps me a bit. Son disappointed (obviously) and I'm left thinking maybe we're not that fussed about growing the fan base after all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy them and give your season ticket to someone else as you see fit on the weeks you can’t attend so that your son can still get to go. The stewards aren’t going to notice and/or care. Wait and see how many absolute chancers emerge now that we are back at Hampden looking for, and successfully getting, free tickets with lounge access so there should be no guilt on your part.

It's only if the ticket used is not valid for the person using it. Say an adult using an OAP or child ticket. There could be an issue then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

an86 Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Would be a cracker of a Shire shirt. Our traditional home shirt is one of the classic designs. Absolutely zero need to mess with it. Will I still be giving them money for it anyway?Almost certainly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both will be available on Monday night and there will be plenty of space. Enjoy the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was said that it was ready to be revealed online after the meeting, so I assume that will mean tomorrow morning. And I agree, it's a very disappointing effort from our much hyped new partnership with Adidas. Looks like it's just one of their standard templates in Black and White (with red '3 stripes') At least the training gear looks good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season, I had two half-season tickets both in my name and as there couldn't be two of me I brought a friend with me to every game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it. We’re talking about a group of people who have wasted a fortune, created a dependency on a multi-millionaire Celtic fan, took 3.5 years to build a Meccano kit and are obsessed with their own positions and deflecting from their endless failings rather than the well-being of the fans. They don’t care who’s at a game, just that their deficit is reducing. Enjoy the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
