I'm not 100% sure but I think we've sold all the East and 2 or 3 sections in the south. Probably shift a few more before Sunday as well. What do the stands hold? Must be close to 4k so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Looking forward to this now it's coming up. We are in great form, I wonder if Naismith will be tempted to make a few changes or stick with the team that've been performing. I think he'll make a few but nothing experimental, just give a few guys like Gordon, Rowles and Atkinson a chance to get back in and get some minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raging I've got to work on Sunday so won't be able to get to this one - I do like a new ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Wonder Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Think we're close to selling out both stands by the looks of it. Think we only have section DD left on sale in the South apart from a few seats in the first two rows of the other sections 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A part of me wants us to keep going as we are and not rock the boat too much. I think you could see we were a bit all over the place with Ross County when we tried to be cute with our experimenting. I'd rather we now prioritised max strength for the cup games as we've got some space in the league for that now. Still think Gordon will get the cup games anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it'll be strong but I don't really see those 3 listed as experimental. Atkinson has had a good season, Rowles is a nailed on starter anyway and Gordon is better than Clark. Gordon I think will definitely come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passionate Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hope you good Hearts people are looking forward to the game like ourselves, hopefully Police Scotland don't make this a bit of a chore, no parking in stadium complex or surrounding roads, When this happens it is guaranteed that pockets of trouble will break out, with no old bill in attendance obviously.. Have you been informed of the Police enforcing the "Thistle law". keeping supporters behind after the game until Home supporters can be dispersed, (knowing our luck they will keep the 2.5 k Airdrie supporters back).. Should be a decent occasion, do any of you guys remember the last time you played Airdrie at the Excelsior (one time) . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there's no any bother as the vast majority of folk just want to go to the game and get back.

Agree totally, have you sold your allocation of around 4.5 k .yes a pre season friendly played in a monsoon around 05, 1 each with Owen Coyle scoring a peach and i think it was Phil Stamp scoring for Hearts( could be wrong) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't mind it being Stamp, but I'd be lying if I said I could remember who it was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be around 3k + for us now, as out of the 3700 main stand it looks as if there's only about 300 odd total left across all sections plus ruling out block A (c. 250). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEETHING Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Amazed to discover that Airdrie are still a going concern tbh. 0-4 away win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crùbag Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Hoping we can put the Airdrie Knights of the KKK to the sword by a few goals. Can still mind them being our bogie team in the 90s. Hopefully play a full-strength team with no brainfarts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This lot are Clydebank though, so no worries on that front 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
