Charlie Endell Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 tynecastle is a shite hole, easter rd would have been better Good atmosphere at Tynecastle - you feel like you're on top of the pitch. Easter Island would be better than Livi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potty trained Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Possibly one of the funniest threads I've read. Why is it do difficult to meet in Glasgow at lunchtime, have a few pints. Leave on a supporters bus at 3pm. At the ground for quarter to 4. If we win, celebrate in the ground then straight on a bus back to maryhill for a few pints. If we loose, straight on the bus and back to maryhill for a few pints. Fact is, it's a great stadium, once you are inside it, and that's what the SFL care about. Why should they give 2 shits what the fans do before and after the game. That's down to us to show a bit of imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I know about ten folk wanting to go to this, none of whom are season ticket holders. I am a regular and paid in to all home games bar one last season. This season I've missed three cup games and Hamilton in the league cup, otherwise I've been to all games home and away. Just because due to personal circumstances and choice I don't have a season book, should I not be able to get a ticket? The club is happy to take my money on a Saturday.

Members Willjag Posted November 3, 2012 Members Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Well if it's season ticket holders that get priority, at least the 500 kids season ticket holders will be ok! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar point I hope parents aren't priced out of talking their kids along to such a big game. A cup final coupled with the u16 initiative could cement a lot these children as Thistle fans for life. If we win they'll at least have bragging rights over their sevconian class mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackpool Jags Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 The Blackpool supporters branch vehicle will terminate in, em, Maryhill. Its punters will then avail themselves of the facilities of the Maryhill bus. If that's over subscribed, then either the Jordanhill or City Centre buses will be the order of the day, depending on their seating availability. Re the venue: we're in the final, and we'll make it a day to remember whether it's being held in Livingston or Lithuania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should respectfully point out that there will be no sorrows to drown, only heroes to welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topcat Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Not quite in agreement that the finals destination can not be changed. There is after all nearly 5 months to said final. If enough supporters make enough noise especially letting the sponsors know. Although the SFL may wish an SFL destination historically it has been played in SPL grounds on numerous occassion. 8 times at McDermid, 4 times and Fir Park etc. A great final needs two sets of supporters and I scratch my head to think how this venue does anything for the supporters of QOS. Travel from Dumfries on a Sunday, a later kickoff, work the next day. I don,t think QOS will bring anymore that 3-4000 If it can,t be Rugby Park then I would argue for Somerset. I know it is a bit of a dump and probably just short on capacity (10,243). But when full it will have a crackin atmosphere. Supporters of both sets of teams will have an easier journey and a great day out with pubs, cafes, restaurants a plenty etc. The final should be an occassion and a day out for all supporters whether young ,old, bevy merchants, families etc and Livingston just doesn,t seem to tick any of these boxes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people still might like to stand at matches, but I reckon it's now a minority. Also, there are only two wee sheds at Somerset; if it's raining, at least half of the people forced to stand would get soaked. Sorry, but there's no way that ground should be used for a final.

You're right - Livingston offers virtually nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uberteeb Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 I presume the Star & Garter Breaks Club will be leaving Star 2.30pm, leaving stadium at 6pm, travelling to Grant B's house arriving 6.15pm and returning on Tuesday to Maryhill?
