fifexile Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Apparently the fixture list is out tomorrow. If the games have to be played behind closed doors is there any word if Thistle will live stream the games? If they do I'd expect ST holders wouldn't have to pay, but what's a reasonable price to pay and would you pay another club to watch away games?

CGJags Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I think reduced crowds may be back for home matches on 17th October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auld Jag Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) At the moment prices in the Premier league vary. Cheapest Motherwell £12.00, dearest Livingston £20.00. Not all clubs in the premier league have said how much they will charge. If you have a season ticket the streaming will be included in the season ticket price.

redandyellowallover Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 If the quality of the picture was good and the stream of a good quality also then I would happily pay £20 to watch a match, if we don't have the option of actually going to the games. That's probably a bit on the high side of what the majority would pay, but it would be likely that 2-3 people that would normally go to the games together will just pay for one stream and watch it together.

p12tfc Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) What’s the odds Hearts and Thistle get 14 away and 13 home games? No doubt luck of the draw Edited July 28, 2020 by p12tfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if the clubs will charge more when they play the ugly sisters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

policemans whistle Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 It isa difficult position. It might mean paying at the gate works out cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Thistle could maybe hold 2000-3000 spread about; perhaps arrangements for pregame tickets could allow family and mates who go to games together to be close (with one seat distance between them). There are problems like folk going for halftime pies or pees where you could get crowding so there's a lot needing to be worked out. Funnily enough, it may be easier for smaller clubs who still have a lot of standing room. Edited July 28, 2020 by Mr Bunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our chair has stated budget is fine and we have money, so surely price the ST based on league and quantity of games. We are two leagues down and potentially 6 home games down. A lot of folk will have been on 80% wages, a lot may have or will lose their jobs once furlough is ended. The pandemic has affected the club but it’s also affected the fans, who have put a lot of cash in for nothing back over this period Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Fewer games to watch than in a normal season. Isn't that a silver lining for Thistle fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
