Replays Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Story seems to be that we had asked to sell our 150 allocation through TicketCo to ensure they were reserved for away supporters. Musselburgh declined this as they wanted to use their own ticketing system. 40 ST holders emailed to reserve a ticket, the other 110 tickets were handed back to be put on general sale, where it seems home fans have bought tickets for the away end. Pretty poor stuff. Edited October 17, 2023 by SReplay 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FREDDYFRY Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 So was this done on purpose by Musselburgh to limit away support, surely not? Wont happen but they should be made re-fund all “away” tickets sold then re-sell via Clyde to our support. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replays Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I’d be quite surprised if the club weren’t speaking to Musselburgh or the SFA about it but I’m not sure what, if anything, would actually be done about it in practice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are expecting our board to actually function and do something meaningful, you sure it was water in your tea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty poor stuff. I may be wrong here but is that not the usual protocol i.e. the home side deals with all ticketing arrangements. I get the capacity at Spartans is obviously bigger (and it was a league game) but buying tickets for that was done through Fanbase (as it reminded me as it defaulted to Spartans for the ticket portal this morning). And the option was there initially for away tickets, but just went off fairly quickly. Don't get me wrong, if home fans have ended up with away tickets its poor show, but I'd have thought the home side were within their rights to insist on using their own ticketing mechanism for the game, just as we would be if we were the home side. With all that said, I've not been a fan of the online ticket situation anyway since it was brought in, not been a fan of TicketCo either at times, it would have been ideal if it had been actual tickets. Assuming there has been a capacity cap set at Olivebank for this one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, I do expect a Clyde win here. If we lose, we not only need a new manager but a whole new team. I only hope there's enough in the new kitty to fund it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ultimately up to the home team though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Bully Wee Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Crownpoint...... no update..........nothing.............. surely not a difficult decision for GCC between two applications, either choose a plausible one or dismiss both, make a fecking decision soon as this season of a farce is driving me completely nuts. No disrespect to the next two teams we're playing but ffs games against Bonnyrigg and Musselburgh (we never budget for a cup run!!...) when we used to be playing teams like Dunfermline, Plastic Whistle, QOS, Livingston, .............................. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Stag Nation for stating the fecking obvious............... don't be under no illusion that we know exactly how poor we are and have been for the last 19 years since our financial woes trying to get into the PL..... maybe we'll take Jordan White back on loan seeing how Staggie fans have been giving him pelters of late..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullyWeeStonehouse Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I think both of the retro shirts from Matchwinner are class. We had a lot of smart strips in the 90s. The majority of the strips we’ve had the past 15 years have been pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
