Wellarmy Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I think i'll be working next Saturday, probably better to right enough. I love the derby matches but Hamilton vs Motherwell certainly isnt worth my £22! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEWELL Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Agree it a ridiculous amount to charge people to watch a game. £15 should be the max with £10 for kids. Anyway i'll be there as it's walking distance from where i stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Used to take the two boys to Inverness and it would cost me £50 to get us in. Looking at it that way, £22 next week isnae too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 IMHO Accies have a damn cheek charging that amount............. It's just plain GREED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweed Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 People in glass houses and all that -its exactly the same as we charge them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 almost! we charge their Juveniles £1 more EDIT: and concessions £4 more Although we again reward familys with the £28 entrance. after the debacle of a few years ago, reducing for Rangers fans promising reductions for others then turning the Accies fans over, I wouldn't expect any favours from then, unless our commercial management team went into some serious negotiations. Shame but do they even have a travelling support that any sort of reciprical agreement would benefit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trafficlight Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 £22 for a local derby in the top flight. I'd bite your hand off ! What's the crowd normally like for the new year fixture ? Bigger than usual ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 And I'm making the 400 mile round trip from Skaville to take my nephew.

Robyn Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Right, my dads an Accies man and has invited me and the other half into his box at NDP on Saturday. But I have no idea if they are similar to the Cooper Suites (inside seats, bla bla blah..) and where are they situated (not been to NDP before)?

Is this not the hospitality bit that Onthefringes attracted the attention of the locals and plod whilst celebrating our victory there last time? If so, perhaps not the greatest place to be if we get the result we hope for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, perhaps not the greatest place to be if we get the result we hope for. The very same... and the reason I'll probably have to miss this one out. The viewing area from the boxes are covered by a black mesh, thus, giving a distorted view and like watching anything Billy Reid has tactically (we'll use this term loosely) set up, likely to give you headaches. Hamilton offer seats directly in front of your allocated box, out in the open, zero segregation and stewarding and to say the locals are vermin despise all things Motherwell is an understatement. Similar situations arise most games, I believe nothing has changed since May, sit on your hands if you must take up the offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Bezzer! Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Strange. Hamilton Accies have only won two games this season, against Hibs and St.Mirren - the only teams we've lost to! Even stranger, they won at home to Hibs and away to St.Mirren! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Unfortunately the days of sitting in the centre main stand at any ground and supporting the opposition in a well-behaved manner are long gone. People have got used to segregation policies to such an extent they feel personally insulted to even be in the vicinity of opposition supporters no matter how polite and dignified they may be. People in the Cooper Stand even get upset if there are opposing fans in the hospitality boxes who stand up at their side's goals so it's not just Accies.

weeyin Posted November 3, 2009 Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Aye, that's a shame. When I lived in Hamilton, I always enjoyed the Accies game. A whole load of us ('Well & Accies fans) would walk down to Douglas Park and stand together on the terraces. Made it even more important to win.

One of the only games you will see opposition fans mingling in a friendly manner is the Everton and Liverpool derby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special aka Posted November 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2009 Good post indeed. I mind going to a Hearts -v- Motherwell League Cup tie at Swynecastle with a crowd of Jambo supporting workmates, must have been early season 1982-83. In fact, no ................ it's about time I followed Fatcalf and wrote a book. Don't hold your breath now Edit. Think I'll call it .....
