BBC ticket pricing for 166 clubs in the uk. Minus hibs who didn't respond. Thoughts?
Forest Green Rovers' cheapest season ticket is more expensive than ours. Their highest ever attendance is less than 5000.
I have no idea what conclusions to draw from that, but it's pretty interesting. I picked them out as they used to be my local team, but other Blue Square clubs have similar pricing.

No they don't seem to want to answer that question
Maybe if I call it a shambles I'll get a response
Possibly the club have had to rethink they're protocol on it
My impression was that if you responded to Alison's email that you couldn't attend in person you would get an 'in absentia' vote.

The Airdrie game was the worst for me because I was young and naive. We were flying high (for us) and for a kid like me, I thought playing a 'weaker' team would be an easy path to a final.
If nothing else it taught me at an early stage in my supporting career that nothing is guaranteed with our mob.
-
Too many steps in the first game?
2nd game.
Edit: On the plus side, I bought my scarf for that tie and still wear it to the games.
-
Yes, another one for the cup semi game game against Rangers. The game was in the bag until the referee gave them a penalty for an infringement against Derek Johnstone. There was only two things wrong with the decision. DJ dived and the tackle took place outside the box IIRC.
The one that upset me most when I was younger was losing to Airdrie in the Scottish Cup semi replay.

Cheers for the info guys certainly clears it up a bit.
That was my initial question & if what Andy says is true then there is a weeding out process going on peoples credentials. Don't know if i like this idea as lets be honest if some complete numpty was a candidate they wouldn't get voted in so why not just let everyone who put their hand up have an equal shout of getting in.
Where did Andy say there was a weeding out process?

Some amount of pish on this thread.
'There's no leg room in new stadiums!'
Jeesy peeps.
Aye, but you're probably one of those people that thinks there's leg room on a plane too.
-
Ach what the hell...seen this one recently..has the holy grail of pissy wee new stadiums...'filled in corners'..only 12k seats too which is ideal for us.
Would be nice, but cost 25 million. More than 3 times the cost of a Barr effort like St. Mirren Park.
-
Youv been away too long. We can level many things at st mirren& all the other new grounds, but lack of leg room & general space, is not one of them!
I do come home from time to time you know, and go to the games. The only place I get legroom these days is at the cinema.
-
Love this "soulless" "flat pack" "legoland" shite people trot out when we talk about new stadiums. Its a fucking pile of bricks,the soul and atmosphere comes from those within it and those on the park!
It's not just about atmosphere. If you are sitting on a wee plastic seat with your knees on your chin and shoulders wedged between your two neighbours then it can be a miserable experience.

Apart from maybe playoff tickets, I don't see much evidence of it in American sports. At least round here, the economy is such that the New York baseball and football teams have had to reduce ticket prices across the board. They built fancy new stadiums and tried to hike their prices, but crowds dropped off.
When I first moved over here, there was 10 year waiting list to get New York Jets season tickets (and they were even worse then than they are now). The list was closed.They have burned through that list the past couple of years to the extent that they are advertising season tickets for sale on the telly. Not only that, but they have a whole load of tickets for sale at $50 a pop.
Similarly, the Yankees were in a battle for the pennant a couple of weeks ago and yet on Stub Hub you could pick up tickets for many of their games for less than $10. One game they were offering $4 tickets.

You can't really get away from the 2 options of redeveloping Fir Park and moving and the former isn't feasible. The clock is ticking and the club must take a clear decision.
I don't see how the latter is feasible either.

Racist Ron Atkinson.
Or Frazzie.

He's useless and will definitely get us relegated. What were the club thinking? They took far too long to find someone so there is no time to bring in any new players now. It's going to be a long hard season.
-
If I was living back home, moving to a lego stadium would run me very close to attending less matches. Unless there was terracing involved - then I could be persuaded.

These days, it's just as easy to read electronic mags on the bog as paper ones. I'll bet there are a fair percentage of posts on here these days that are sent from the stalls.

2-0 united. Bottle gone
We shipped 2 goals to Celtic. They shipped 4 to ICT.
If we get an early goal I think we'll win by a couple.

He is scottish in the football world.
Born in England to 2 Scottish parents makes him 100% Scottish in my book. My criteria for Scottishness/international football have always been:
a) Born in Scotland
or
b) At least one parent born is Scotland.
c) No exceptions.
But that is another thread. As far as this one in concerned I don't see any chance McCall will even be invited to talk to Blackburn, far less get offered the job.

Another option could be a Downloadable copy - Same price no printing costs.
If it was downloadable, I'd buy it.

Player for player, Celtic are probably better in every position except for keeper. When they perform, there isn't a team in the SPL that will compete with them.
-
Looks to me like we have been holding out to see what happens to Faddy before signing this guy.
Wikiepdia (for what it's worth) has him listed as centre-mid.
EDIT: maybe not Wiki, but I found it somewhere earlier in the thread!
EDIT EDIT: Found it. Says he's a right footed midfielder here, but no idea how accurate.
-
More importantly though we need to smack the SPL clubs into touch as their attempts for the most part at YD has been laughable
A signifcant problem is fans (and boards) don't have the patience. Even at a club like ours who depend more on young players, there are far too many people in the stands who expect a level of consistency that is just not possible with a young team.

You'd have to be mad to want that job. Shebby Singh is like a mental version of Romanov.
Of course, there will be plenty of applicants.

Those are both cracking wee grounds, but when you see that the Kalmaar cost over 22 million quid, then there is no chance of ever seeing us build a similar one.
