The Incredible Adam Spark Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) I doubt anyone will know the answer to this at this juncture, but hoping someone employed by the club notices it and can advise. I notice the St. Andrews friendly as being described as 'low key' - does this mean fans won't be able to watch it? That's my birthday weekend and a day trip to the seaside to watch the lads would go down a treat.

Woodstock Jag Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 My guess is that it means there's no formal entry per friendlies v Queen's Park at Lesser Hampden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redandyellowallover Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 What's to be unsure about? The game at St Andrews will be the same as the QP games at Lesser Hampden. Low key with no formal entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 What's to be unsure about? The game at St Andrews will be the same as the QP games at Lesser Hampden. Low key with no formal entry. It reads as if WJ thinks it'll be a normal game at Lesser Hampden, rather than like a normal game at Lesser Hampden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodstock Jag Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 It reads as if WJ thinks it'll be a normal game at Lesser Hampden, rather than like a normal game at Lesser Hampden Isn't the crucial word in my post "per"? I thought that made it clear I was referring to past games at Lesser Hampden being "low key"/"closed door" - call it what you like, and that it was inferring the same thing: that spectators could watch but it wasn't formal entry.

Tom Hosie Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I doubt anyone will know the answer to this at this juncture, but hoping someone employed by the club notices it and can advise. I notice the St. Andrews friendly as being described as 'low key' - does this mean fans won't be able to watch it? That's my birthday weekend and a day trip to the seaside to watch the lads would go down a treat. I would guess it would be very much like the game against Cowdenbeath at Edinburgh Uni last pre-season. Not a formal fixture but stroll in and watch. Should that change I would, of course, post on here. Maybe worth checking with the Club nearer the time in any case. They will be better placed to answer than me. BTW can't think of anywhere better to enjoy a birthday weekened than St Andrews. Just about my favourite place in the world. If you do go - enjoy!

I thought the same as Ronald the first time I read it, but thought not to bother. Is there any point in arguing about semantics really? For what it's worth, I had taken 'per' to mean: as is the norm. Who cares though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any point in arguing about semantics really? For what it's worth, I had taken 'per' to mean: as is the norm. Who cares though? It's not got formal entry, as is the norm at friendlies v Queens Park at Lesser Hampden... That means the same thing! If I'd said "as per" would have been any clearer? The emphasis wasn't on the venue but what is meant by "low-key" in respect to friendlies. As you say though... semantics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoopster Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 (edited) There is also a chance the game might not be in St Andrews. Our official site has the game against Thistle as 'to be arranged'. If Thistle aren't going for a training camp in St Andrews, then I can see why they wouldn't want to go up there. Edited to add: after going to our friendly last year at St Andrews, it's just a park really and there won't be any issues with people watching.

Woodstock Jag Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 sorry lads am a bit slow but whats formal entry? Formal Entry = A turnstile where money/ticket change hands Informal Entry = Oh look a football match. Let's just stand over there for a bit and watch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, so it's like dress down Friday? By the way, can anyone remember the last time we had a high-profile friendly as opposed to a low-key friendly?

The Earl of Hathaway Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 As I mentioned to a Spiders-supporting mate at work, the only reason we've agreed to play a friendly at St Andrews is so that all those English students who comprise the Queens Park support can have a few Pimms without having to worry about the 4 x 4.

wee jim Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 And dress. What would that be on the night formal/informal? And the pie stall will be what? Formal/BYO And something else. If its informal does that mean, because you haven’t paid any money, you’re not entitled shout abuse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
