Pinhead Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Well the crowd thing didn't really work at the end of the day, was a good try and looked good on tv but the massive crowd that was expected failed to materialise so i would hope this decision will be reversed on our next meeting.

Lenziejag Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 On the numbers given out it did seem low, but from the main stand there didn't look to be many spare seats in the JHS apart from in the Hospitality bit. Also where I was in the main stand it was pretty busy. It is probably worth another go if the next game isn't on telly and is at a regular time.

javeajag Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Said on BT that the crowd was c1000 up on the same fixture last year which equals + £25k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Col Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Assuming of course that the same number of Thistle fans turn up for the next Sellick game, which after today's abject failure is no guarantee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Firhill crowds always seem to look more than the figures that come out, many times i have seen the JH almost full and fans in north stand and they give out a 4k attendance. But suppose as you say why not give it one more chance and see what happens as the decision has been made for this season so most will expect it to happen.

That was the rearranged New Year's Day game on a Wed night and on the TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClydebankJag Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Given the poor number of Jags in attendance and the need to maximise income should we give Celtic the His and North Stand next time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point as they didn't sell the JH stand out, guess the less home fans in attendance will be down to a multitude of things that have pissed them off.

Norgethistle Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 7088 at the game, someone had tweeted that we had less than 2000 fans today, if so we really are slumping attendance wise, NS looked empty on the telly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kji7 Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 A combination of crap kick off time, more than likely defeat and the unique poison Celtic fans bring to game will have kept away all but season ticket holders and core PATG fans. Not surprised at all if we had less than 2000 there today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javeajag Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Tbh it's difficult to go these games when we play the way we did today ... Never going to trouble them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawlty Towers Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Having looked at the fixture list our home league games from now until the end of 2015 are all Saturday games kicking off at 3pm - basically what I hear most fans asking for. Lets stop all this around in circles bickering amongst ourselves and turn up to the games or am I just being silly? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 What none of us know is how many ST holders didn't turn up today. If it's considerable then it stands to reason the number of our patg fans possibly held up. Taking a short term view that's probably preferable re money in the kitty. The Club tho' needs to have a long hard look at this fixture. Even without the upheaval of having to move stands I'd suggest matches against the OF does nothing but harm to ST sales. There's little point dividing the cost of a season ticket by 38 games to show the value when you've no intention of turning up for two of the fixtures. Two fixtures that'll be in all probability moved and televised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 John Lambie Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Didn't really bother me moving to the main stand, I'd keep the situation as it stands unless it is clear Celtic/Rangers will not bring anything near 6k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Third Lanark Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 So they away team never sold all their tickets, as I expected. Don't give them it next time I have to say it did look quite full. I was quite surprised at how empty hospitality looked in the Jackie husband stand only looked about 20 people there. I was at the far left hand side of the main stand so don't know if there was much hospitality sold for the main stand did anyone see?

Two fixtures that'll be in all probability moved and televised. In fact, if both cheeks are in the top league, it will most likely be 3 homes games pre split, and possibly 4 depending on which side of the split we all end up. That 3 or 4 games is out of a total of 18 to 20 home league games (depending on how much the fixture computer likes us!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
