W6er Posted February 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 According to my calculations we have sold 2,791 tickets in the home stands. I expected a lot more would be sold. I wonder if many folks will decide to go to the game on Saturday? It would appear a lot of season ticket holders haven't purchased their seats.

A lot of folk including myself will buy on the day. Funny seeing Motherwell fans getting their knickers in a twist on twitter though as we won’t give them any more seats, this seasons Kilmarnock, all appearing when the teams playing decent.

Aye, it was. However it will be embarrassing if we only sell half of our seats. A bigger crowd is more money and a better atmosphere. It's human nature to want to see your side win, which might explain why sales have been so bad. I have to be honest and say I respect Motherwell supporters who, like ourselves, are just a stone's throw away from the aresecheeks, and yet support their local side. I can't blame them for relishing the good times and taking every opportunity to watch their side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the barrhead teacher Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I am sure it will be a decent crowd for such an attractive tie. However, no one seems to have picked up on the fact it is a holiday weekend for schools so many families, including my own, are away or doing other things. Bit gutted to be missing game, but this might be a factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit gutted to be missing game, but this might be a factor I hope I don't seem contrary, but do many families really go away in February? The forecast is terrible, which I'd have thought would put people off going out altogether. 19 minutes ago, pod said: Regularly happens with cup games. They'll turn out in their numbers as always. Does it? I have never monitored the ticket situation as closely as this before but as of about five minutes ago, we've sold 2,938 plus the 1,600 to visiting fans. Ordinarily I would expect a bigger attendance for a Saturday game, but as it's not included in one's season ticket, the weather is miserable, the side is struggling and people are skint after Christmas in many cases, I'm not overly optimistic. 17 minutes ago, St.Ricky said: Might well be but Around 4,300 there on Wednesday so hope for the same or larger number.

There was no provision for buying tickets other than for the match against Hamilton on Wednesday night. I've found this happening before. Now, I telephone the office and buy any cup or, occasionally, away tickets that way. But, I am optimistic that will top the 6,000 mark for the match which is 75% of our capacity. More would be great.

W6er Posted February 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2020 3,014 now sold! Still less than 50% of home capacity, but then I'd expect a few hundred tickets to be sold tomorrow. I predict a crowd of 5,300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bishop Posted February 8, 2020 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Stewards and ticketing staff stated there were no tickets for the west stand today at 2.50pm and sent a lot of fans around to main stand. Someone brought 2 around for me and a mate while we got soaked. Is there no end to the incompetence and lies the fans have to deal with. Our biggest source of income is from ticket sales and we continue to make this really easy task so much more difficult than it is. There was literally hundreds of seats around me today in the West yet staff were insisting it was sold out. Utter nonsense. Get a grip St Mirren.
