BuddieinEK Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 The home match v St Johnstone has been brought forward by 24 hours and will now be on Tuesday 25th March. Feckin typical... I arranged staff training for the Tuesday night as we had a match on the Wednesday... now the match has meen moved and I can't make it. Yet another match I am forced to miss after a late change to tbe advertised fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Calder Saint Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Clearly take the fans to be idiots. I have three season tickets I will not be renewing. Totally fed up this season with basically everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fmckinn Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Maybe it's been brought forward to give the new manager an earlier game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Very rarely do St,Mirren play on a Wednesday, Its usually always a Tuesday, But its a bit short notice especially when they knew for a while that the SPFL had pencilled the game in for a Wednesday, Its not right, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieinEK Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 SPS... that's why I waited as long as possible before eventually confirming the staff training just two weeks ago. Is there any reason the game couldn't have been moved earlier if it was always on the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 These things happen its 4 weeks away. Would miss it anyway both dates. Think we will have a new manager by then new enthusiasm ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we will have a new manager by then new enthusiasm ! These things happen? Seriously? I accept that selling our soul to the tv companies means it happens for tv scheduling... but that would not seem to be the case here. If it's to suit the clubs it could have been switched ages ago which would slso have taken fans into consideration. I actually waited as long as possible before confirming other plans in case it was switched. Am I supposed to take the "ach well these things happen" attitude when I am needlessly missing a game I've paid to see? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the clubs board of directors and the various football authorities in the coming seasons, while attendances diminish will say. . . oh well these things happen and they will genuinely have no clue as to why and not see the connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know attendances have been slightly on the up? It's a fallacy that attendances are, long term, affected by these things. As for the BOD, I'm not sure they exist.

It's a fallacy that attendances are, long term, affected by these things. As for the BOD, I'm not sure they exist. I get your point and there are no facts to back up my comments, I just think it is yet another case of the clubs not giving a toss about the fans this is just one instance but with this happening two or three times a season, how many people do you think would say . . great another late change I love how they do this it really makes me want to go to games, as opposed to the number of people who say phuk it I'm fed up with this and eventually just drift away from the game When you add the numerous reasons for anyone not going to football I just don't think this helps The game could easily have been changed when the midweek fixture was originally announced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still shows there's little consideration for the fans. PS It could suit other fans who couldn't make the original fixture.

faraway saint Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) Is 4 weeks really that short a notice period? No, in fact it's plenty. Yes. You should get to bed earlier and organise your fixtures within a 2 week window, sorted. Edited February 25, 2014 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
