Spidersmad Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Capacity is 959, although a section in the centre of the stand is given over to hospitality. Taking that and season ticket holders into account that leaves very few tickets for sale to the general public. You're lucky you got 256 tickets! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the hospitality guests got into the black box, what is the actual point of it if its not just by hospitality? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's *corporate* hospitality Your average punter who buys hospitality gets put in the main stand, shepherded pitchside from the JBM by the secret service at the start of games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidersmad Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Hospitality for the average punter above. Their block of black padded seats is right on the halfway line. No idea who the people are who make it to the Royal Box, apart from the QP "directors" and the opposing club's equivalents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all been said before but…….As a piece of architecture it’s woeful, as part of a ‘stadium’ it’s a joke; but that photo there, the contrast of the black, stark exclusivity of the few prominent against the backdrop of Glasgow Tenements is just so wrong on so many levels, arrogant, tone deaf and embarrassing. How that ever got planning permission I will never know. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How that ever got planning permission I will never know. Said it before, but I find it genuinely annoying to look at. All you can see is what it could have been. It’s a monument to missed opportunity and every single one of the worst aspects of what we’ve become. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not just bugged by it I'm really pissed off every time I look at it. It should be knocked down so we can build a proper stand, like a proper football club would. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is everything that is wrong with how some treat football and its fans. Matching blazers, clearout the best malt every Saturday and get in for f**k all whilst contributing very little.

Hampden Diehard Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 (edited) There have been complaints about the officious stewarding since the last game so hopefully there isn't the same carry on this time. Edited August 8 by Hampden Diehard 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy.1995 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Tough game to call tonight.Queens at home will be a tough nut to crack.Suspect the first goal if any will be crucial. Livi seem to have gotten the Spartans debacle out of their systems and looked good,albeit against a poor Pars team last week. Falkirk looked decent last week, but Queens had their chances.Early doors,but points so important at this time of the season,could make a huge difference to both.Mon the Lions.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost as if one tiny ridiculous stand is nowhere near suitable for football at this level; shocking, truly. Probably came as a bit of a shock to the committee. They'll be trying to work out why nobody told them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can keep the soft play area and chandelier at the back if they want, and even hang on to their padded seats in a new 'proper' stand - just give us some more seats with a decent view! Dare I say it? - the original plans were "bigger and better". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid not, so with there being literally no tickets left there's literally no way to watch the game (other than from the grassy hill next to Lesser). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything involving a connection between club and fans has been put to the bottom of pile when it comes to investment. The cost of everything and the value of nothing springs to mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
