Still looking back rather than forward though. Has anyone questioned what would be the position going forward if e.g. The whole family end sold out through a half-season Saints from Santa campaign which saw all of the South Stand sold out?

Cornwall_Saint Posted August 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 What would the club do if: We sold out the West and Main Stands with season ticket holders... But only half the Family Stand? Knowing they can fill the Family Stand with mutants three times a season, would they still kick out our own fans knowing they wouldn’t be able to enter the West/Main stands, or take the financial loss and allow our own fans in the Family Stand?

You have never actually made any points. You equivocate. Always - other than things you may do tomorrow. Riveting stuff, btw... I can't understand why you have so many fences upon which to perch when the idea of a forum is surely to debate. Yes, you have suggested that the way to ridding our ground of some pollution is by Saints fans coughing up to buy more season tickets in the other stands so that the Family Stands people would have nowhere to be shifted to. A suggestion that, as you are probably well aware, is unlikely to be effected in the foreseeable future - so - a non-commitment by you. Yet again. Cornwall Saint asks the pertinent point of what might happen then - if such a sell-out were to miraculously occur. Would the vile sevco masses be allowed to share their 'family' space, in continued chase of the Bigot buck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll happily pay for an under 18 half season ticket when they become available. Will you? If so, then for around £28 with 1.000 others doing the same we can sell out that stand and test the theory. Money where my mouth is. Happy to start a thread to enable posters to signal their intention to the board if that helps.

Is there a Baz equivalent to a nicotine patch that cold help you here going even longer or not at all? Cold turkey doesn't seem to be working. I'm sure he's made many other mistakes & learning's.

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 The bottom line is we should not be having this conversation the vast majority dont want the family stand given to the old firm. Unfortunately no one is listening in the board room. We are numbers like all walks of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is, I don't know but looking at prices at other clubs grounds they seem to categorise games into different prices with higher prices when e.g. The Big Two, HIbs and Hearts come calling.

Surely if the West, Main and half the family were all STH, the other half would be used for our fans who pay at the ticket office. Wither they filled it or not. Getting kicked out of the stand is bad enough, but I'm sure they wouldn't get as low as kicking their own supporters out of the stadium. The repercussions would be enormous.
