the barrhead teacher Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Another home game l will probably miss due to kick off time. Why bother with a season ticket when TVs deal leads to this ridiculous 5.15 time. Friday night would be much preferable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usual over reaction, go or don't, just do it without advertising it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that there increasingly is little point in a season ticket when games get moved about like this at relatively short notice, if your in a position where unusual kick off times don't suit. The money teams get from these tv deals at present l doubt covers the loss of revenue from Lower crowds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how many people would that inconvenience ? fwiw, i think 5.15 KO on a saturday is just plain stupid & I do agree about the season ticket thing.

saint in exile Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I don't have a problem with 5.15 ko's or Friday nights or Sunday lunchtimes. I DO have a problem with games being moved from their advertised times. Once it's on paper, it should only be changed if absolutely necessary.

the barrhead teacher Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm probably just missing the good old days when you knew the game was on at three on a Saturday or Tuesday or Wednesday nights. Life seemed simpler. Also you could catch the reserve game if saints were playing away or first team game postponed. Remember three of us sitting in park head main stand in late eighties surrounded by unamused Celtic fans after frozen pitch cancelled main game at love street. We lost three nil which was probably just as well given the looks we got, particularly my pal Alan who proudly displayed his scarf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Remember the reverse happening once. Parkhead was off and a decent crowd turned out at love street. Un ft ortunstely we lost 7 something. Jim thorburn was in goal. b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Zo Posted October 1, 2016 Report Share Posted October 1, 2016 I remember reading on the forum that we actually only get something ridiculous like £2k or £3k for a televised game on Alba. Anyone else heard the amount we get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pepé Le Pew Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 I've been enthused that there may be a team in almost as poor form as ourselves in this league after listening to a bit of the commentary to the United vs Pars game last night. Need to roll up the sleeves and go for the jugular of these Fifers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed the last game with its 5.30 kickoff because I would not make the last ferry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
