Fawlty Towers Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 So we will play them and Dundee Utd 5 times this season and possibly more if we are both involved in the play offs 🥱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last years victory over Dunfermline was definitely a ‘must win’ though we possibly didn’t know at the time. This could be just as important!

partickthedog Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 I must have missed the change to the rules. I thought that by finishing 4th in the Championship last year, we were effectively the 16th best team in Scotland and went straight into the draw for the final 32 in January! No doubt somebody will tell me that this rule was changed 5 years ago! What a dull draw this is when we had the potential to play lots of different teams for the first time.

CotterJag Posted October 29, 2023 Report Share Posted October 29, 2023 Getting a home tie is good but there were about 50 easier ties than this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 20 ties, so I guess only the Premiership teams from this season get to round 4 automatically. Not sure when it changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fault for that tho' lies firmly with the SPFL and its inane league set ups. Having an open draw in the Scottish Cup is both traditional and part of the competition's appeal. But it's often the Cup games that get devalued and repetitive fixtures are partly to blame. The vey fact we're playing nine clubs at least four times each makes getting a different club in the Cup all the more attractive. Bad enough watching what could be only 12 different teams at Firhill in a 10 month season. Lose this game and those who travel to away games will be stuck with visiting 11 clubs this season. There's a lot of outside influences that negatively affect attendances at games. Little if nothing can be done to rectify that. But Scottish Football, primarily the SPFL, simply exasperate things.

Mr Bunny Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Who is fit to play? KD says Ngwenya, Fitzpatrick and McMillan unavailable (though latter two back in training) but is Milne fit? McKenzie at RB again I suppose. At least Aero will be back to stiffen the back line. If Milne isn't fit we might have to play Williams at RB and McKenzie at LB. Hope to all the gods Milne makes it.

partickthedog Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Seems rather early to open match thread for PTFC v QP so I will not do so. Instead I will resurrect this older thread to ask a question about the cup tie. Was hoping to buy tickets but both the links in the news item on the official website https://ptfc.co.uk/ptfc-news/queens-park-ticketing-information-4/ appear to be broken, and are coming up with "Server Error". I have tried via Google searching etc to try and find another way in to PTFC Tickets or something similar, but without success. Does anyone have any ideas, failing which I will wait and hope that the link is fixed? I will try and phone the club if I get a moment tomorrow morning.

lady-isobel-barnett Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 I bought a ticket this morning before it was mentioned on the PTFC website. See if you notice a mistake? Perhaps being corrected and maybe reason for "Service Error"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Date and time seemed OK, as were the teams (though I could be a bit pedantic as to why a dot after F but not after C). When I got to the top I finally realised!

For games not covered by season ticket i go up to portacabin behind JHS and get my ticket there on the day of the game. IIRC before covid you could add games not covered by the season ticket on to the ticket either via online or a phone call to the office.

This is a bugbear of mine, okay for most cup games bit didn't get my own seat once during the playoff games last season. How hard can it be? You can add ticket to the APP but not necessarily for your ST seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the only way around it would be to issue designated seating tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hard can it be? You can add ticket to the APP but not necessarily for your ST seat. Considering the Club (rightly imo) went out of its way to provide a "singing" section within its allocation of away tickets at certain games last season, you'd think above would be simple. Besides the same principle applies if only marginally insomuch as the atmosphere is always going to better when fans aren't split up. A major part of the appeal of having a ST is having a designated seat. So why not extend that appeal? Another benefit of having a ST is knowing you don't have to arrive unduly early to guarantee you'll be sitting besides your usual cronies. If routine Cup games were included (re seating) then it would make purchase of season tickets more attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be an issue if a game was particularly busy and some ST holders didn’t go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
