  1. It's the same situation as usual.Every 'Well fan who wants a ticket will get one.In all the years I have been going to Fir Park, I have never heard of anyone missing out on a game because they couldn't get a ticket.

    Unfortunately missed out a couple of times due to not being a season ticket holder anymore. Had a season ticket for years then had to give it up due to change in work shifts. Couldn't get a ticket for either playoff game against rangers even though there were plenty of tickets left as I hadn't bought a ticket for a home game. Always pay at the gate like everyone else when I can get to a game so only time I bought a ticket was for european games which they said for some strange reason didn't count. Season ticket holders and well society members should 100% get first pick at tickets etc but 5 per person is a bit much. Surely 3 each would suffice and then let people who purchased tickets for previous rounds who aren't season ticket holders can get tickets as don't see a public sale happening.

  2. If its between Van der Gaag and Barraclough it would have to be Barraclough for me. The fact he is currently working as a scout in the English Championship would mean he would be very knowledgeable of the lower english leagues where I think is our best chance to bring in players who could quickly find their feet and help us climb the league table. His managerial career seems pretty decent albeit in the Irish league compared to that of van der gaag whos best finish was 5th with maritimo, hardly something to shout about. I'm just glad that Butcher, Adams and Shiels seem to be out the running!

  3. Really poor performance tonight. Too many slack passes, lack of imagination going forward and yet again piss poor defending of a crossed ball! We look so slow and predictable when we try and play through the middle. Thought Law had his worst game for us tonight unfortunately. Hopefully this is the right good boot up the arse we needed before we play Celtic.

  4. regarding attendances at Fir Park i myself pick and choose games always have done and some seasons was at nearly every game whilst last 5-6 years maybe only 10-15 a year down to family commitments etc but now 2 boys getting older hopefully be down more but i heard a great initiative from Hartlepool which they done this year they used to have 2000 season tix holders all paying £400 a pop roughly meaning they had £800,000 a year right off but their average attendance was only something like 2400.They put in place this year some fabulous advertising on radio,posters,pubs basically everywhere in the town stating that if you bought a season ticket this year it would depend on the amount buying them what the price was for example if 2000 fans/£400 a pop,3000/£275,4000/200,6000/150 and 8000/only £100 a pop and low and behold the whole town jumped on this bandwagon with regular updates all over the town about the price and they sold 8000 season tickets meaning no loss in revenue from year before as still £800k raised from season tickets, but all the benefits a crowd this size dictates like atmosphere,pie and drink sales effect on other fans coming to tell their mates etc etc I think this is a great idea and wish Leann would think this through we have on average 3000 season tix holders at roughly £300 each giving £900k at start of season can you imagine fir park with 9000 season ticket holders all paying just £100 each the added revenue from drinks,pies etc and also the boost for the players also no taking over our ground by the grueseome twosome even 6000 paying £150 each

    whats all your thoughts?

     

    That to me sounds like a great idea. With everyone struggling for cash right now im sure more folk would snap up a season ticket if the price was cut due to an initiative like this. Ive had to give up my season ticket and hate having to watch the scores come in on a saturday when i would usually have been to the game. Would we get enough interest though to bring the price down?

  5. Price is the biggest factor although as someone mentioned earlier the fact games are getting changed to suit tv has got to have made an impact. I had a season ticket and had to give it up as the last year i had it i missed 5 games due to them being changed to days i worked. So thats near on £100 i spent on games i didnt see.
