Plenty of room for all paying customers, if section H is getting held back for us too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always open the North, doesn't matter how many are attending now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, what confused me was the closing (for now) of the upper and lower sections H to Falkirk fans for this game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Section H isn’t on sale due to the recent issues. I’d be shocked if they split the north stand either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 I'm having a hard time believing, given the way ticket sales are going, that it wouldn't be better to open block H, and get extra stewards to occupy the area between there and NS. Accies fans at the East end of the North, lock the middle door. Don't allow them past the half way point so they never get near the Falkirk fans and vice versa. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the sensible thing to do if we needed to sell the last of the main stand. Still 500+ tickets though even without that last section though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, would be pretty daft to not sell the section closest to the away stand because of previous issues then put home supporters in the same stand as away ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it first hand and it wasn’t much tbh. Due to the time of year/late KO, the “young” QOS fans had had a good drink and were up for berating the home fans but it was mostly older fans/families along that way so the stewards had to get involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I fully accept the fact it did happen, just can't get round the fact it was QotS fans that were the culprits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sputnik Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Regardless of previous incidents, there must be a better way of accomodating a few hundred away fans who will already have been allocated an entire standalone stand to themselves that doesn't also involve blocking off a massive chunk of the main stand too. Seems bonkers, but I guess if we don't actually sell out the rest of the main stand it maybe doesn't much matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don’t sell out all our tickets then they’ll keep that bit sectioned off however. Edited February 14 by LatapyBairn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartA Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Doubt we’d need the far north end of the main stand but if we do, then Accies fans can be put to the other side of the north stand. Not rocket science. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest in the lower tier. Edited February 15 by bridge of allan bairn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
