You’re only saying that cos we were one of the flesh who voted your big club out of the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckets of cash, three points and a worldie in the last few seconds to snatch an undeserved win. You're welcome, btw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wait till we give you less cash, 0 points and score a worldie in the 94th minute to snatch an undeserved win next weekend...

It does show a lack of class and belief in your own management team/ players to actually go and beat a team in your own stadium if 500 extra fans are there from your own club. It's tin pot as f**k. I'd be right behind it if the shoe was on the other foot though. We do have a massively smaller budget and never had expectations to even challenge for the league this season as well. The fact there has even been a title challenge to this stage is pretty funny all things considered. Both teams will most likely finish on a higher points total than both the big Dundee team and Kilmarnock managed in previous championship winning seasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibby82 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) We usually keep the Shed for bigger games such as these. Away fans were always housed in the Fair Play until this season. Though I would have assumed Raith would have got, at least some of, the Jerry Kerr too, so guessing they're holding that back to see what home sales are like.

No away fans have got close to selling out at Tannadice all season and I doubt that will change next week. I don't think United have announced the allocation yet or which stands are being allocated to Rovers so it's difficult to say whether it's unfair or not. United do tend to punt away fans from the Shed for big games in order to give it to United fans so I presume that's what's happening. Which seems perfectly reasonable and fair given that there will be greater demand for extra tickets from home fans than away. FWIW, if we are doing it to gain an advantage then I'm cool with that too. Abso-fucking-lutely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Lad Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 We sold our allocation 1950 the last time so would see no reason why we wouldn,t sell our allocation this time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 I remember we gave utd over 3000 seats for a 'do or die' game. They couldn't fill half of it. Thank you. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We managed it the last game and our home crowds have been growing all season which you would assume would translate to this game being sold from our end. You're quite clearly doing it to gain an advantage because you're absolutely shiting it from a team with a fraction of your budget who had an aim to finish 4th. Like I said though, I'd be dissapointed if we didn't do the same if the shoe was on the other foot for where the game is played. Still petty and tin pot as f**k from a team who think they should be top 6 in the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loemba90 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 If we’re opening the shed to Utd fans then it’s a good decision, anything else is just a nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are still top 6 for attendances in Scotland which is one of the reasons why we will need more tickets for United fans for this game. The demand to fill 3 stands will be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think initially United were planning to allocate behind the goal to Raith fans, but representation from supporters' groups have indicated that, in present circumstances, it would be bad PR for our own fans. It'd be a big surprise to me if they've changed their mind, as the club is great at shooting themselves in the foot, but it appears they have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is going to be more demand from United fans for this game so the club are left with 2 choices move Raith fans to Fair Play and give Unite The Shed or keep Raith fans in Shed and United fans occupy The Fair Play. The latter has happened like never. I don't think the police would agree to it as crowd management before and after the game of having United fans at either side of The Shed would cause logistical issues. it makes sense to move Raith fans. Shame for them that means less tickets but there isn't really much alternative. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look full and all the chat before the game was that you were close to selling out. In the end it didn't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
