100% correct in your post , there was an acceptance before the game started how the game was going to pan out , enhanced by Mark Wilson’s tactics on trying to play out from the back against a team who were quicker on their press and never let us get out .

I get that but we never competed partly due to the manager’s tactics In a season, more often than not the team with the biggest budget will win the league Falkirk , Livi etc are still making a fist of it in the Premier League against teams with much bigger budgets, we didn’t even make it a proper Cup Tie on Sunday

The fans bit I agree with but it was 4 nil going on 6 or 7 at our home ground Are you seriously happy with that ?

We didn’t show we are a good team , we got beat 4 nil at home against an under strength Celtic team ( no Maeda etc ) If Mark Wilson had abandoned his philosophy of needlessly trying to play out from the back ( a la Russell Martin) then we could have made it a real Cup tie . The amount of times Tony Watt who did well yesterday was isolated after winning and holding up the ball with his strength was staggering but we still persisted with tippy tappy football on our 18yrd box against Celtic players who were pressing . We’ve not got the quality of players , Logan , Ashcroft etc to play this system against the better teams , St Johnstone being a prime example . Mark Wilson set up his team so predictably yesterday, Celtic knew exactly how we would play . Moving on , surely Mark Wilson will have to alter tactics depending on the opposition we are playing. The only plus yesterday was the financial aspect of the game .

Thought Mark Wilson got his tactics totally wrong with persisting on tippy tippy playing out from the back style . Allowing Celtic their press from on our 18 yrd box was football suicide and contributed hugely to the game overall Incredibly naive

I’ve no idea why they are trying to mask the price of Hospitality , why not just tell the supporters the price it actually is . You don’t go to a restaurant and be told that’s not really the price to pay , we’re really sorry but we have to add 20% VAT on to your bill . Looks like they’re trying con the supporters into paying a higher price .

No idea who makes the decisions re Hospitality at Firhill and certainly the pricing structure. Hospitality anywhere only works if it’s a vibrant atmosphere and almost at full capacity which enhances the fan experience. A half empty Hospitality Lounge doesn’t really do it for me unfortunately.

And they always tell us they don’t read the forum !!!

It will be surpassed, just now after 2 start of the season games with no Hospitality the Club has probably lost circa 10k If as you say they made it £100 per head I believe Hospitality would have been full so in effect any Profit made is better than Nil Scary thing for me is nobody seems to be making any decisions or being pro active , thought that was why we had a Chief Executive

Bottom line is Hospitality is too expensive and not value for me , ditto player sponsorship Fans have voted with their feet on this

Hi LIB Think we possibly can argue against that if they can’t sell Hospitality for the first 2 home games of the season?

You’re right , it’s used by business owners when they are VAT registered. The way it’s been advertised is to give the impression that the Supporters are getting an alright deal when they’re not . IMO this has all been calculated to sell Hospitality this way because they know the price is excessive.

You always know you’re getting ripped when sellers say + VAT Most football supporters wouldn’t even know how to calculate the VAT on the £115.00 ( the action price is £138.00 ) It’s only done to mask the actual price in this case the Hospitality package Shame on the people running our Club just now .

Why would you even go for the Player Sponsorship option not knowing whether Hospitality will be even running at all

No idea what our Chief Executive or our Commercial Department are doing , I would imagine Hospitality/ Sponsorship are key elements in the mechanics of running our Club and financially it’s a disaster. Beyond ridiculous that we can’t sell out Hospitality in the first two games of the season. This looks to be price led with supporters voting with their feet at overpriced Hospitality. With an outside Caterer , maybe it’s not viable to run with a small number with costs etc Time for our Chief Executive to earn his money
