You'd think that a fancy dancy super duper computer system would be capable of ordering customers by amount spent and that those at the top should be given the same privileges of STHs for the following season. If there ever was such a thing as a coding change requiring just an hour to implement, that would be it. Yes Oaky, but Pod pays a premium for his preferred option of deferring his contributions to the club. That’s fair surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardBuddie Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Only a thought, couldn’t we ‘bar’ away fans and have pay at the gate home fans in there, thinking mainly about (when fans get in), home games against say Hamilton & Ross County when both are luck to bring 200 fans?

Hendo Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 7 hours ago, Tommy said: It will cost the club more to put a game on with fans than behind closed doors, so because of that some PATG might have to happen for the club to cover the extra cost. Maybe away fans will be allowed to help to cover the cost. I can see all clubs extending their dodgy streaming services on a pay per view basis for those who aren't season ticket holders, or continue free streaming for STH who can't get in.

To accommodate any likely restrictions the chances are that all four stands will be needed for ST holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod Posted August 21, 2020 Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 5 hours ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: The way I see it (and it makes no difference to me as I fit neither category) is that STHs pledge their cash to the Club up front which for obvious reasons will be highly beneficial to the club. You choose for reasons or convenience best known to you, to pledge your cash to the club on a week to week basis, which is still obviously hugely beneficial to the club, but arguably slightly less so. So, in the highly unenviable position of the club having to make a very difficult decision, I could understand why preference would be given to STHs over fans in your category. Aren't all fans beneficial to the club. Some don't have the finance to pay up front. But that's not my excuse. Its being able to attend games with my son when he visits from Uni. I also purchase his ticket. It's would be a shame if it came down to us or them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you say “aren’t all fans beneficial to the club” when I clearly stated in my post that fans who choose to support the club in the way you do are “hugely beneficial to the club”? That doesn’t make any sense. The point I was (I thought clearly) making, was that in the unenviable and highly unique circumstance of the club HAVNG to make a choice between the two, I could understand why they would err on the side of STHs. What is so difficult to understand about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fricky-Troll Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Season Ticket Holders should stay at home and continue to watch on St Mirren TV. Just let paying customers and away fans into the Stadium. £25 a ticket. Should help the finances of the Club.Can I suggest you change your username [emoji23] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slarti Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Can I suggest you change your username [emoji23]Maybe he should change it to "Copycat".According to some (most) ST holders on here, they bought the ST to help support the club financially. The club already have that money and it will cost the club if only ST holders are allowed in as there will be no extra income, only outlay. So, if ST holders really want to support the club financially, they should give up their attendance and allow only "pay at the gate" customers in, therefore maximising the clubs income per home game.Or maybe they don't want the club to maximise its income and would, in this case, be selfish and demand their own attendance first, therefore costing the club money.Just a thought.

BuddieinEK Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 Reason to buy season ticket.

Ayrshire Saints Posted August 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 And what is the official complaint procedure for the 95% of ST holders who won't get "their seat"?

Not sure wht there is even a debate over who will get priority at SD games, it will be ST holders end of. Whether folk like that or not that's how it will be.

Tommy Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I think away fans wont be allow in anytime soon since the government wont want fans traveling to different areas of the country on supporters buses and trains.

There won't be away supporters but it won't be for travel reasons, there simply won't be capacity. It could be argued that Kilmarnock have the capacity giving their home support size but yes, you may well be right. You can travel freely, but having 50 people on a bus from different households will surely prevent away fans from traveling around the country.
