  1. We missed the boat with the bing last time in premiership it we did not own it then so hypothetical. The best hope commercially is to maximise old firm and hearts dollar like clubs like Motherwell and give them a decent allocation that does not piss everyone off. This is not attractive to me personally but brings in cash and we don’t sink or swim on these results anyway. Converting the bing into a safe standing lightweight stand would take 2000+. We would need a sustained period in top flight to cover it however. And to add a decent digital screen not that stupid scoreboard that’s the most pointless addition to the ground in modern times.

  2. Xmas eve and hogmany fixtures were the perfect opportunity to have double headers against your local derby team, in our case probably killie. Can't understand why this has not been muted as it would reduce travel for supporters over the festive period and create a lot of interest to encourage folk along.

  3. I'm not that bothered with the old firm games at foothills but it's unfair if not discussed with the club's upfront. The biggest thing for me is the fact there is no regard for trying to make the game easy and accessible for fans at midweek games and over the festive period. Also the "FU" message the Septic sends to the SPFL by postponing a Saturday game as quick as its announced makes a mockery of the whole establishment.

  4. Me and the weans season tickets didn't work today, first time ever. Renewed both cards earlier in the week.

     

    2 of our pals, who hadn't renewed, had no problems getting in.

     

    Wasn't an issue as lovely chap at the Northy gate let us in, he was saying loads of peoples cards weren't working today, I bet it was everyone who renewed!

     

    Same happened to me in the JHS and I had renewed, looks like they were prepared and no fuss at all to get in.

  5. They appear to be picking up the email and mobile number from the sign up account for tickets etc and using the ones that have ticked to receive info from club. I did wonder how my kids were receiving stuff and I never until I checked.

  6. Tag will only start to pay dividend if it has something extra worth having. I've said all along it should have exclusive streaming of U20 matches,it would then be worth extra.the games are recorded for tactics etc anyway so couldn't be that difficult or expensive to implement.

  7. our main problem is not anticipating the second ball. Our success rate from picking up possession from this is poor.Higgy for instance wins almost all flick ons but we rarely capitalise from this by a runner overlapping. There are examples of this all over the pitch.

  8. Having had a look at tag its not really worth anything as the stuff on it is not marketable or value add. If for instance it had live streaming of the under 20's games, id buy the top up to season ticket access in a flash as im not going to go to these matches, but would happily stream them and im sure others would do he same, brining in a few bob.

    At least the infrastructure is there now to make more interesting content available in future I suppose.

  9. St Mirren played a high line first half to prevent us from playing out so even giving the ball to the fullbacks they would have been closed down quickly and would have to punt, also kept three up when we had a corner. They had to change the two players early second half as they were knackered. We pushed wider in the midfield second half which made the difference and created more space, it was obviously discussed a half time or we would have got stuffed..!

  10. The whole squad coming onto the park a few minutes early and do a cardio arm up is a good idea. Its amazing how many goals in general are scored and conceded by teams in the first 5-10 mins of the second half. Setting a high tempo is important especially if your a goal down. Im not too bothered about the subs at half time as they keep warm generally all game behind the goal.
