Jaggernaut Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Stop all your f*cking moaning! This is Thistle. Partick Thistle! The only club for the likes of you and me. A lot of the time, we're crap. Sometimes, we're good. Going to see Thistle play at Firhill, or anywhere else, is one of the great things about living in this country. SUPPPORT YOUR TEAM!!

What else can we do as football fans of clubs we love ? back to basics imho . Arthurlie are my local ( glory hunting team ) although ( Johnstone have apparently won promotion ) . I am season holder at Firhill and will not waver in my support ( at present ) of the team I have followed since i was 1st sacrificed at the age of 8 . I will continue to buy my season book for myself and my reserved tickets for my u16 kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any lingering doubts of not boycotting that sh1thole with nazi stewards have been well and truly removed if that entry price is true. Dundee and Melville can suck my big fat lightsaber, no way am I stepping foot inside Dens or helping fund that mob, and just because they cocked up last season and didn't get to the SPL, doesn't mean they can get away with charging near-SPL-prices this season.

stolenscone Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 Price will always be a determining factor, but it's far from being the only one. John Boyle tried to get punters back in the door at Motherwell by cutting prices while still putting a half decent team on the pitch. That experiment ended in administration after no marked increase in attendances. Facing facts, the Club can't continue to exist if it loses money every year and there is no rich benefactor willing to fund the shortfall. That leaves the Club Board with a decision: will an increase in prices result in an increase in revenue, or will it just cause more people to stay away? It's not an easy decision, particularly if you accept that football is already overpriced to begin with. I would much rather see a greater degree of openness and engagement coming from those who run the Club. We should all be on the same side and pulling in the same direction, but it often doesn't feel that way, although in my heart, I believe that everyone has the best of intentions. A change in personalities at Board level would probably help to re-engage the fans, if I'm being honest, but only in the short term. A fundamental shift in attitude is needed from both disallusioned supporters and directors of the Club to sweep away the nonsense of the last few years. Sadly, I don't see many outward signs, but I remain willing to do my part, however small that may be in the grand scheme of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hot Shot Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 To all those who are in disbelief that folk are complaining about a quid increase. "F***sake it's only a quid" is not the issue, suggesting "it's only a quid" is suggesting that you had already planned to go and already had the 16 quid budgeted to begin with, therefore,it's only another quid and somehow that's acceptable. With people who have tight finances and decide wether they can justify their last 20 quid on going to the fitba on a week to week basis it changes everything. I look to go to every Thistle game, every season and it's great when week in week out my finances are good enough to allow that, however, come the weeks when i'm sitting with a spare 20 quid in my pocket I will no longer see it as viable to spend it on the fitba,because it's simply not enough now and i'll stretch over that 20 quid to attend, 15 quid for scottish 1st division fitba is NOT value for money, but fitba is my thing and with 20 quid in my pocket it was accessable, at 17 quid entry it is no longer accessable to me with 20 quid in my pocket unless I walk approx 20 miles. There are many ways in which the club could raise much needed cash from its fans, STJ proved this, Thistle fans have proved this. It's not about paying "just one more quid", you're dillusioned if you think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smurph Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 An increase, again, is pretty bad. £17 is a bit steep. Look on the bright side though, Dundee are charging adults £19 for a mediocre game of First Division football. Thankfully, I can still get a "Youth (16-21)" season ticket, so all is well for me.

The Earl of Hathaway Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 £20 spent in the pub watching soccer Saturday for me next season. What a waste of money. All hangover next day, kebab and bottle of wine on the way back from the pub to add to the cost. Time for you to watch 3D football I think.

Third Lanark Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 If for 2 years the price of the gate has went up its only fair that the price for people to sit on the Thistle B.O.D goes up as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, though I was under the impression they paid £5k per year to sit on the board so should be £6k. Though I wont hold my breath waiting to see it happen.

McKennan Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 So, if Joe Soap has money he can sit on the Thistle board? Aren't we getting a little off topic here? What do we get for our seventeen quid that's 'more' than sixth place last year? Second place the year before was better value for money, wasn't it? What could the club do to lessen the blow of putting up the gate price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie inglis Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 It's also worth pointing out, our concession gate allows people U-21 to get a concession ticket, not just OAP & Students. Which is pretty decent, not many clubs do that. I see no reason why an unemployment gate couldn't/shouldn't be introduced, but as long as you had to produce a letter dated within a month saying that you are on said benefit. And photo ID? so unemployed, students, kids, under 21s all get in cheaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
