Tord31 Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 They've held back half of the West Stand which presumably will go to Celtic in due course. Also presumably all the debenture seats will go to Celtic. Organised well tbf so likely be close to a sell out for both semis so plenty coin for us to compensate for missing out on top six Link to comment

That would make sense to help out the impoverished supporters of the east end of Glasgow club, giving them match tickets on tick who otherwise wouldn't be able to make it. Link to comment

Organised well tbf so likely be close to a sell out for both semis so plenty coin for us to compensate for missing out on top six I could be wrong but I thought that when they sold the debentures, in true West of Scotland fashion, you had to buy debentures in the green or blue side of the stadium depending on who you supported. That means that there will be a bunch of sevco fans given first dibs on tickets in our section. Assuming they don't take up the option would the SFA really be daft enough to sell debetures to celtic fans in the middle of our fans? Link to comment

I think we’ll struggle to get to 10,000. Not surprising at all, obviously. Link to comment

The fans apathy is totally understandable just now, but added to the fact, loads will be sick of hidings from the Tims at Hampden/Parkhead Link to comment

Howard Marks Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I'll be buying pints* for AFC Chat members at The Rose Riley pre match. Just show your membership card to take advantage of this great offer. *maximum of three pints on offer. First come, first served. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer. 1 Link to comment
madjockmcferson Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 so, going forward, if a team offers to buy the tickets upfront are they guaranteed 50/50? 1 Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Just now, NEM said: They've set a precedent now so don't see why not Can you imagine that for a semi final though? Say we get 22,000 after sponsors etc get theirs. We only sell a max of 14,000 (about our average). 8,000 unsold @ say £35 or whatever is the guts of £300k we need to pay the SFA. I think for a semi, 15,000 (when we’re going ok & not a fucking shambles) is about what we’d sell. Take the gamble for a final as we’d shift as near as damn it half Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 We should have guaranteed half the tickets and given any unsold ones to schools etc through the community trust. It's the least the club could have done after the shambles it has presided over in recent years. Link to comment

madjockmcferson Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 the lack of sunlight on this is staggering really. Hearts get 50% cos the club bought the tickets but no indication thats actually a new rule...it just kinda happened. its just weird. they are averaging 1300 more than us per home game, so is it about that? what if it was 1000 more, 500 more? does that count. what are the criteria?
