Not sure of the cost of printing1k+ season tickets every year, but there will be a saving there for the club. Would like to think they've done their sums and the cost of fitting and maintaining the system is substantially offset in the saving of manned tunstiles and printing of season books year after year.

I wonder if this could be run in conjunction with the TAG scheme. All season ticket holders will be issued a smart card with a barcode on it i'm assuming but pay at the gate punters who are part of the TAG scheme could be issued a card that can have tickets added to it that are bought online or over the phone. I occasionally go to matches at Old Trafford and have got an official membership card with a barcode on it. As and when I but tickets online they are added to the card and I just need to scan it at the tunrstile for entry. Might be too costly to implement, but would save a lot of queues on match day if the majority of folk are either ST holders or have purchased their tickets online.

Yes but as with the Conway transfer they could sign him up and offer us a pittance. We reject it and it spends the next 10 months playing out in court. By the time Ayr got the money for Conway (60% more than Utd offered) he'd been there 10 months

Also says on the gossip column that Scott Arfield has been released by Huddersfield. Always impressed me when he was at Falkirk, he'd be worth a look but probably wont be short of offers.

Cheers!

Who's reporting that? Not seen any mention of the make up, just assumed it'd be the same as the rest of the leagues.

Exactly. It's just about making the right choice of manager and right choice of players. We've got crowds that match those teams so there's no financial disparity in that sense.

If the wealth redistribution proposals are the same as before then where we'll finish will depend on whether we'd be better off. I think it works out that the top 3 clubs lost most, the next 3 lose some then the rest gain money and the teams in the first gain a whole lot. So in theory if we were to finish in the bottom 6 but out of the playoffs then we'd be better off than we would have been should this not be passed. That is the worry! But the big upside to this is that whilst there are more relegation places, it would be much easier to have a good shot at getting promoted should we drop down and the financial impact of being relegated is much more diluted.

Just announced that there will be 1 league body, redistrubution of wealth, and playoffs as of next season with a 12-10-10-10 format

For all the work required in the wooden main stand??

Yeah I agree, think for me it's also a massive 2 fingers to anyone that said we'd fall apart after he left.

Was listening to Sportsound the other night and there was 2 or 3 tweets read out that had DU fans complaining about the signings so far. Basically saying that they regressed as a team signing the likes of Gardyne last year so they fear for the season coming up. It may only be a few tweets now, but if he makes a poor start next year more and more will jump on the bandwagon.

He follows me on Twitter, beat that bawbags!!!

That will go down well. Think the Dundee Utd fans are already getting restless with all the "First Division" signings.

I'm a bit surprised that there's not been any movement on this, especially with us essentially securing promotion 2 weeks ago.

What happened with Conway will undoubtedly happen with O'Donnell should they decide they want to sign him and he wants to go. Months of us scrambling in the courts to get what's due to us.

Hopefully Thistle get the ball rolling and start thinking about season tickets for next year. The sooner they can begin getting money in the door, the better chance we will have of securing the players that Archie wants.

The circumstances in which Conway made his way to D United could very well mirror Stephen O'Donnell's move there (should it happen) Pretty poor way to conduct yourself when trying to remain high and mighty with situations like this.

They really aren't shy at shafting smaller clubs when taking their players but greet like weans when someone does it to them

Champion

New favourite; CHAMPIONEEES, CHAMPIONEEEES!!!!

This much was evident from the Morton fans that were on here for a while and the ones on the First Division "Banter" page on Facebook.

Probably will be that weekend, i'm going to a wedding too that day. Rangers will only be playing at home that day if they are drawn at home in the cup. The SFL season starts the week after, well it did this season anyway!

Taking my missus and the wee barra with me tomorrow. According to Chris Jack to Twitter Falkirk are reserving a further 2,000 seats in the main stand for us. Hopefully we'll fill it!
