Plus the loss of the stadium sponsor, lack of gate money and hospitality. Obviously we sold Kyle, but I can’t imagine there will be any money left to strengthen in January. Well Jim Goodwin has said that if strikers don't start scoring he will find one who will I presume in January so must be money somewhere.

Vambo57 Posted December 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 I'm a bit disappointed in the responses so far folks. They are way off topic. No surprise there eh? 😃 The original post was basically asking for your opinion concerning allowing pay-at-the-gate fans back into the ground first - as opposed to ST holders - providing some income to the club. If it is ST holders only, then this will cause a loss to the club. Personally, I would be happy to wait and watch the games online until thousands are allowed back in. What do you think?

Not straightforward mate. Depends on the numbers but there's a chance the pay at the gate punters wouldn't match the numbers allowed in. Does anybody know what other clubs, Ross County for example, have done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard of ballots being done and if your successful then excluded from next ballot Not sure if ST only but maybe easier to manage if it is with trace and protect and other protocols to follow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilbur Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 Two obvious problems with the OP's suggestion IMO. Firstly, it would be a giant-sized boot in the stones (or lady parts) for those who paid top whack for a full-season ST in the summer knowing they were giving the club a donation. Secondly, who would buy a ST in the future if non-ST holders get treated better than they do ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many, I don't happen to agree, would see it as a way to help in this unique and difficult time. Your second point is, IMO, irrelevant as this is more than unlikely to occur again so it's a one off.

RichardBuddie Posted December 11, 2020 Report Share Posted December 11, 2020 To be honest as a ST holder I would want in, however I would gladly give a ‘donation’ to the tune of the value of the game ticket - to help the club out.The day will come (hopefully soon), I have said many times on here that I hope the club is ready to act when the go ahead is given. It’s difficult as a partially filled stadium of ST holders only brings in hee haw revenue to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never considered that option, that would work a treat, just wonder though at what point the governing body would pull the plug on 3pm PPV as fans start to gradually come back?

Anyhow I thought you had given up “supporting” the club. The amount of hours that some of these volunteers have invested since the year 2000 would put you and I to shame. They have done it because they believed in the concept of fan ownership from the outset and were driven by their desire to put the club first. Toolbag. I think that’s your favourite term of reference. As i said listen to one of the bawbags incase he doesn't get in, absolutely pathetic response, what a clown🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 So far in the limited tests with Ross County, ICT etc those allowed in have been ST holders. Besides the fact these people have paid up front for a season worth of games there are also practical reasons. 1. Track and Trace - the Club already has all the details of ST holders so can quickly chase up T&T if there is an outbreak of Covid. 2. Ease of issuing entry tickets. The Club can simply email a 'ticket' to those whose name has been lucky in the draw. For non ST holders there would have to have a public sale which would be time-consuming selling tickets, taking contact details and the risk of a large number of people gathering without a 2 metre gap. There is also the cost of opening the ticket office. The alternative is sell tickets on-line meaning when we play the sevco or Sellic the stadium is full of bigots and Track & Trace goes out the window. 3. Fairness. The same non-ST holders would be able to apply for a ticket each time possibly depriving other supporters from seeing a game. 4. More income. ST holders have already paid up front. If they get entry then those that really wanted entry can pay for PPV. Little income is generated with 300 fans considering the costs involved. So ST holders should get entry.
