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. The seethe if they didn't get in would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Think it's going to be next season now before anyone is back in ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSS Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 ICT are changing the way they decide on who gets access as both games they’ve had have been short of “capacity”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought could happen to a few teams. People might not be willing to take the risk, however small, at this stage. All in all, a fecking mess.

Ayrshire Saints Posted December 12, 2020 Report Share Posted December 12, 2020 Speaking personally as a household with 2 STs we have absolutely no interest in travelling to attend games where spectating is limited and with restrictions. Happy now to wait for normality which should be next season. I appreciate that's probably a minority view but it really makes very little appeal as a match day experience with no opportunity to meet up pre or post match for a pint and sitting in a sparsely populated stadium in masks with set arrival and departure times etc. Not for us so happy to let whoever most benefits the club go if it comes to that this season (personally I'm doubtful pre split at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure I'd fancy going to a game when there's only a few hundred in the ground. A big part of the enjoyment is the atmosphere IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very similar reasons to us choosing not to go abroad on holiday, not even close to what I'd call a holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 2 ST's but not bothered at all about being included in the first 200/300 allowed back in. Would rather wait until everyone allowed in.

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? Not sure how they were allocating tickets, but I'm sure I read that Inverness were struggling to get 300 fans to take tickets for 2 games so far, and have announced it's now "first come, first served"1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Just watching the Fulham match, nice to see some supporters in attendance. What tier/level is Paisley in and what numbers would we be allowed if the level/tier was low enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to know how others felt. For me, it's all about the whole matchday experience and the present arrangements are not appealing. Happy to wait, as long as I can see it online.
