I don't know how Hibs tickets usually sell around matchday but there could be a good few more than that at the game Edited May 3, 2023 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground hold more than 20000 so more than 4000 seats still available. the now. Don't think it will sell out but both clubs will likely sell a few more.

I think we should do what Killie did, and have an SLO hand them out outside the ground. We could charge a fee which will pay for the SLO's travel and a wage. I think for £1.50 that would be reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I'm not well enough for the journey to Paisley to collect in person this week. I think your suggestion os a good one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hasn't come by Thursday, I'm sure someone on here, who's going, might be able to pick it up for you. I live in the East End and am working, nut could potentially arrange for someone to go for you on Friday, if the club agree to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beyond our ken Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 For any other postal purchasers who dodnt get their ticket, make sure you log your details TODAY with the ticket office and your ticket will be reprinted and you can pick it up from Karen (SLO) outside the stadium tomorrow. I hope the weather is good in Edinburgh (and pishing in London), it can be freezing in Leith. Apparently, the failure to get the the tickets printed and posted happens with every game and a contingency gets drawn up, some way for a ticketing company to operate. I hope the postage fees are refunded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 A bit disappointing that we can't sell out our allocation for this game. Kilmarnock without an away win in a year sold out 400 tickets more. Our first top half finish and potentially European football for first time in 38/36 years and struggling to sell 1500 tickets.

Sent from my T610K using Tapatalk I think this shows the level of belief that the support has in our ability to finish better than 6th. It might also be a reaction to the abysmal performance v Killie, who had been showing some improvement and have a potential game-changing player in Armstrong (maybe we should be targetting him for next season) which we obviously lack. We are just not showing any kind of form recently but maybe the 2-week break will help us. The long weekend and the distance to travel might also be a factor, my take is that many fans possibly believe we are mid table and staying there so some apathy might have crept in. With all that being said, if we win tomorrow and Hearts get a hammering then maybe the mood will change. If there is some proof tomorrow that we can still improve our position then we can maybe get a bit of a boost for the fans Edited May 5, 2023 by beyond our ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we definitely failed to sell out our allocation, btw?It was posted on St Mirren official media outlets still tickets available. I understand the financial aspect but I'm 100% sure if this was a relegation "6 pointer" it would sell out no problem.

Not sure where you're getting this from, the consensus seems to be we have the best team we've had for years. No form you say.............................short memory, focusing on the Killie game is very short sighted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Penalties and sendings off have helped us recently in other games and the lack of goals from the front players is still a problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who said we were the only ones, apart from you, obviously? we don’t know how our record would look without these events but they helped us when we needed it when there was little evidence of goals from open play our position is great but recent performances have not been. It doesn’t stop me or many others attending but obviously sales for tomorrow are not what many hoped and performance is always a factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've done your best to paint a negative spin and your anecdotal point equals the square root of zero. We'd scored 7 goals in 3 games before the disappointing Killie game, but you keep up your gloomy outlook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albanian Buddy Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 If this was a last game one-off winner takes all then I’m 100% sure a bigger crowd would attend. Let’s not knock our crowd home or away. Those that can afford to go brilliant. But those who can’t should not be made to feel guilty. It’s a fcuking expensive day out once you factor everything in. Just to put things into context.

You can't even read what is in front of you, i stated that the Killie performance was a possible reason why we haven't sold quite as many tickets as we would like. It was terrible and with obvious extra fans making the effort to attend that day then my view is that the flatness will discourage some from returning until they have something else to cheer about and that will only come from the next 2 results. If I'm so gloomy then why will I be attending, instead of sitting in the house watching the coronation? where will you be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys in the non OF sides that would go on to successful careers. How about this for an XI: Money Clarke, Hendry, Levein, McKinlay Connor, Brown, Rice McAvennie, Robertson, Durie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
