Ally Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 The fact there was a half baked idea made public and as you say needs fixing shows a level of amateurism that feeds the belief we are a MIckey Mouse club. If many forum members can see the flaws, and I don't include the "criticise for the sake of it" team, why can't the person/people responsible within the club? This. It's astonishing that no one within the club has questioned the logic of the promotion before going public with it. Div is of course correct, it's easily rectifiable... However the club making an @rse of it is all people are getting from this at the moment. Once again the club shows a complete lack of understanding of its customer base. I'd like to be more forgiving, but this is such basic stuff it just screams incompetence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG BEN Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 As I read it, I thought I'll ask a few pals and buy their tickets then I got to the different stands bit and thought I'll no bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kombi Buddie Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) That's not true at all. The positives are that the club are trying to do something to encourage new fans to come along and that they are offering cheap tickets to allow them to do that. The implementation of that plan might not be particularly good, but that doesn't take away the positive intention. The club has sterilised the positive intentions by sending the season ticket holders buddie to another stand. Therefore, it is not a positive at all. {We may be wrong and we'll find out at the match by seeing how "full" the north stand gets. They've still got time to fix this. They don't even need to say "chap's we've f**ked up again^ a simple "thanks to supporters suggestions, we've had a rethink" 2 options are Unreserved seating in the Westbank, sit where you like {inconveniences season ticket holders who want to keep their seat for this game} or Season Ticket holders & Buddie into the North stand & leave QOTS in Weststand.

Doakes Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Wow, what a load of moaning. They're giving away 2 tickets for a fiver. You have the option of sitting next to your mate if you pay a wee bit extra. Not everyone in Paisley has money - I'm sure a few folk will be pleased to give 2 mates a cheap day at the football For feedback - since the club are obviously reading this forum at the moment, a better initiative might be to open up the 2 stands behind the goals - cash gate - £2.50 a ticket. First come first served, if (big IF) it fills up before you get there, you need to pay normal price for the main or west stand. Make your money back on selling flags/scarfs/pies/drinks etc inside the foyer. Make it feel like an occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E=Mc2 Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Why not take faraway? Perhaps there is a reason he is called "Faraway". Perhaps a wishful whimsical nickname given by close friends due to the challenges he faces on personal hygiene. He could sit next to Elvis.

Our attendances are a lot lower now. I'm sure the club would love to reduce prices, but not sure it's possible... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Tony was telling about this on Saturday. He has visions of Saints fans in all 4 stands roaring us to success. He really wants to fill the place or as near to as he can week in week out. Great enthusiasm and drive, unfortunately I don't think the local community and even our existing fans share the same enthusiasm at present. Nice idea but he might be better trying to get two stands full before focussing on all four. Don't walk before you can run and all that. He was on the St Mirren Show last night talking about this scheme. Anyone hear what he had to say? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doakes Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Bus fares only for our kid on football players. My Season Ticket money is getting stole. Not sure if you're on the wind up, but I'm perfectly happy to pay when we're bringing players like Rocco Quinn, David Clarkson and Gary Irvine. Far better than we had before.
