Doolan9 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Would also add everything that went on with crossing the pitch etc was very tinpot but ah well no biggy in the grand scheme of things as long as lessons are learned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I would add is the club genuinely believe it was sold out. It was an error with the ticketing system, you lot are acting like the club lied to look more impressive intentionally. The club have even issued 2 statements apologising over it. I certainly didn't suggest they were lying, not sure what they would gain from it tbh. It's clearly cock up rather than conspiracy. Just find it strange that given said inaccuracy, you would then be taking the number of tickets sold as read. Your club does love a statement tbf. I preferred the tears and snottery ones of old though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be bitterly disappointed and puzzled if that was the approach he took as Ayr are not good at the back imo and we should be coming flying out the traps to try and bury the game early. Continue on from last week and get a 1/2 goal lead to knock the stuffing out of Ayr and then can make changes. This is thistle however so not getting excited till I hear the full time whistle go and know if it’s job done or not. Killie or Ross county for the winner it seems as well. Not sure who I would prefer should we make it. Killie certainly more practical if nothing else. Pattern of the last 3 games is we have had to withstand early pressure and Mitchell has had to make a save, before we score and gradually take control of the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pie Of The Month Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/review-of-supporter-migration-issues-complete/ Quote The club’s review of supporter migration issues on Friday in conjunction with our security partners has now been completed. An error in determining sales in the ticketing system for the John Lambie Stand meant that half of its capacity was not being used. This meant supporters who had hoped to watch the match from the John Lambie Stand had to purchase tickets for the Jackie Husband Stand in the lead up to the match. As it became evident in the lead up to kick-off that the John Lambie Stand was not as full as reported, our stewarding partner G4S had to deal with a number of supporters who breached the Jackie Husband Stand trackside wall to move uncontrolled to the John Lambie Stand. Throughout the first half, tensions continued to rise within an element of our support, who were disgruntled that they were displaced from the John Lambie Stand and who wished to be relocated there. Reports were received from G4S and Police Scotland around the feeling of tension and discontent and that many fans had indicated they were going to move from the Jackie Husband Stand to the John Lambie Stand uninvited. In addition, the club’s safety officer received a report from the assistant referee on the Jackie Husband Stand side that he had been struck by unknown missiles from the corner of the Jackie Husband Stand at section 9, closest to the John Lambie Stand. While the club accepts that supporters were frustrated by how Friday evening unfolded off the pitch, this behaviour from any of our supporters is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the club. CCTV footage is being reviewed and anyone found guilty of such behaviour will face a lifetime ban from the stadium. As a result of these factors, our safety team required a disproportionate level of stewarding to this area which was seriously compromising our deployment plan. With an uncontrolled migration of fans from the Jackie Husband Stand to the John Lambie Stand expected, the decision – after conversations between the PTFC Safety team, Police Scotland and G4S – was made to have a discreet migration from the corner of the Jackie Husband Stand into the John Lambie Stand. Other options were considered such as externally migrating to the John Lambie Stand through the outside of the stadium and a tannoy announcement around the migration. This decision was reached as the first half of the match was ending. Unfortunately, the organisation of this controlled migration was not initiated early enough and took longer than anticipated to complete. Once the process was initiated, other supporters in the Jackie Husband Stand, on seeing what was happening, chose to emerge from several of the exit gates along the stand to make their way unescorted to the John Lambie Stand. During our efforts to resolve the situation a minority entered the field of play, which was made worse by the reckless individual with two smoke flares who was eventually arrested. This individual was subsequently arrested and will receive a lifetime ban from Firhill Stadium. Accumulatively, this all led to a delayed kick off in the second half of the game. To ensure there is no repeat of the situation which arose on Friday night, we will: Initiate adequate checks on our ticketing system to ensure that tickets recorded in the ticketing system match numbers actually sold. Hasten our match day safety communication channels to allow agreed actions to take place quicker, if required. Provide a greater number of stewards pitch side to deal with any incursion attempts. This update concludes our investigation into last Friday night’s first leg tie at Firhill, with the full focus of everyone at the club on this Friday’s second leg away at Somerset Park. Once again, we’d like to thank supporters for their incredible backing in recent months and weeks, including last Friday night, which is so important to and appreciated by Kris and the team. Tomorrow night we will need that level of support more than ever – we look forward to seeing a large, colourful and noisy support at Somerset Park. Safe travels to all the red and yellow army. Guess we didn't get rid of whoever wrote Jacqui Low's statements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preferred the tears and snottery ones of old though. Those minters were squarely the responsibility of our self-proclaimed "PR Guru" Chairman, Jacqui Low, who was successful eased out of the club by a huge fan effort. It's nice to see that since then, the club's comms have been much clearer, fact-based and open, and that they now investigate and take responsiblity for errors - a complete turnaround from Low et al. ETA: Haha, Looks like I spoke a little too soon as there is still some fan-blaming in the latest one when the problems were down to poor organisation...

I preferred the tears and snottery ones of old though. Well I worked that one out myself quite confidently knowing that the stand holds 1800 and you didn’t fill it. Would also add the crowd was exactly the number that was expected. The only difference being that it was split differently between the 2 stands. There’s something else you can stick in your trophy cabinet pal. Thistles twitters statements from 3 years ago that give you so much joy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
