marco77 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 From looking at the pictures, it doesn't look like a great turnout. Still think it should have been an open day for all fans regardless of the type of ticket you can afford. I would have went today but don't have season ticket or friends with anyone that does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Completely agree. Excluding non season ticket holders seems rather short sighted at best especially when they're encouraging people to come along and buy season tickets. Â However, actually having a season ticket doesn't guarantee you entry on match day. Yet again, our cards didn't work again yesterday, despite renewing them 2nd day they went on sale. Son was left stuck outside while mine set off both the red and green lights (WTF?). Sick of them not working properly 2bh. I wish the club was "committed" to installing a working ticket system, instead of the crummy amateurish system we've had for four years now. Yes I will be phoning them on Monday!

Â I like the idea of the Open Day. Â My kids would have loved the signing session but, unfortunately, they are with their mother this weekend. Had they been with me, I would have tried to make time for it. The problem is, as has been mentioned many times on this forum, there are many demands on family time these days. Two consecutive days based around trips to Firhill is, perhaps, too much. Maybe not so bad if you're local but many of us aren't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Strikes me that making a truly open Open Day, might have given the Club an opportunity to promote season tickets to those fans who hadn't yet signed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potty trained Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) It seems as if there was next to no mention in the build up. Â First I saw, was a tweet on Thursday. Â Apparently it was mentioned at the start of the month on the website. Â I don't understand why it wasn't open to all, before the league Cup campaign. Â Could have turned it into the strip launch too. Edited July 30, 2017 by potty trained Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaila Street Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Strikes me that making a truly open Open Day, might have given the Club an opportunity to promote season tickets to those fans who hadn't yet signed up. I've not renewed my ST yet. No reminders or communication from the club at all. However looked at the tickets website today - what a mess. Only worked on the third browser I tried and are here really no seats left in JH1 and only 14 in JH2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dan Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 Went along today, Muzzy walking around the pitch. Gary Fraser sprinting. Signing in tomorrow. No one asked to see my season ticket. Archie waiting on a couple of clubs to see if we can bring in others midweek. 3 possibly 4 to come as we may need rt back cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been better timed with an away game weekend, eg next week. Also should have been open to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jag Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 I don't quite understand the club's insistence that the "open" day is for season ticket holders (plus two guests each). Surely to generate as much interest, especially to younger fans, they should be advertising it for all? Â Anybody can go anyway - the gates are open for everybody to walk in so why they don't try and get more there is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rid Skwerr Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 It's not very "open" if attendance is restricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Anybody can go anyway - the gates are open for everybody to walk in so why they don't try and get more there is baffling. Â I suppose we could've stayed on and brought the subject up at the Trust meeting. Â Think the Open Day should be just that, open to anyone. As mentioned it should probably be a community thing. Could invite local youth football clubs along to see training etc. Don't see why the Q & A should be restricted to ST holders either tho' it should be a more "closed" affair, but I can think of ways that could more or less restrict it to Jags fans only.

Lambies Lost Doo Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Any good topics in "Meet The Manager" or "Supporters Trust" events? Â Last year Archie was asked a belter of a question by a wee girl "How many times have you been hit in the face with a football?". Still makes me smile. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Thistle Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 The season ticket bit is just to make season holder feel they are getting something extra , anybody can attend there is no checks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 The season ticket bit is just to make season holder feel they are getting something extra , anybody can attend there is no checks So how did people, who may have liked to go along, learn this?

jaggy Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Just saw the Jagzone video. Not many there which is a pity but maybe thats due to reasons mentioned above Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 ^^And also people overestimate the draw of Thistle. To get others along you would need to ramp up the day with street food stalls, live music, entertainers like a mini festival with advertising in press and outlets like itison.com which we don't have the resources to do.
