W6er Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) A bit obsessive, I know, but I knew that season ticket holders had until midnight 4th February to book their seats. I have just checked online and it looks as though nobody's bought them! https://www.smfctickets.co.uk/login.php I really don't understand the mentality, and would have thought most people will be looking forward to the Cup. This after we refused Motherwell's request for extra tickets. I know many people will buy them at tomorrow night's game, but I'm shocked at how few have been sold.

Eric Arthur Blair Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 The online booking system is a massive crock of shite. Don't believe anything it portrays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a very small crowd on Saturday, which is poor especially given that Motherwell are bringing 1,600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munoz Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 There will be a healthy home support on Saturday. A good chance of progress to the quarter finals has got to be a big incentive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornwall_Saint Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 I always preferred cup games to the league. With the Scottish leagues you play the same old teams three or four times a year, sometimes for years on end. At least with the cup it’s our best chance of winning something, and makes this game more interesting than the average Saints v ‘Well league fixture.

It’s going to be like 1977 all over again. Dirty cheating Motherwell bastards! With a reverse result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...my guess is that there will be 6,200 there come Saturday. The away end full of Well supporters adding to the atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turrabuddie Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 As someone said earlier, I believe many will buy their tickets tonight or on the day, however, I think tonight’s result, and performance, will make a big difference to the attendance on Saturday.Big turnout if we play well and thrash Accies tonight.Much poorer if we don’t perform and it’s a draw. Or God forbid a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fear is that many will be feeling the pinch after Christmas, or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right that finances are TIGHT at this time of year but I think that Turra is right and a number will buy today or pay on the day. I've given up on the online booking system and buy tickets by phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online booking system isn't perfect by any means, but regardless of how people buy them it should show the number of tickets sold. I've just calculated we've sold 2,701, in addition to the Motherwell support of 1,600, making a total of 4,301 tickets sold. I'm anticipating another 1,000 to be sold before Saturday if we get a decent result tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for another 1,000 or so on top of that. 5,300 would be decent though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Our W7 Group should be moved permanently into our Family Stand. Overspill from the Away End should be seated in W6 & W7 This should have been arranged before tickets were sold for the Cup Tie. Motherwell fans should be in the West Stand also.

You will be worried. I agree with you. I'd love to have the W6/W7 lads behind our home goal. And, happy to see overflow of away fans in W7 and W6. Won't happen this season though. Looking forward to W7 W6 giving their usual great backing to the team. Edited February 5, 2020 by St.Ricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell should definitely have been given more tickets, given that they sold out their allocation within a few days! It would have meant more money generated and a better atmosphere.
