lady-isobel-barnett Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Makes sense tho' that's one of the likeliest fixtures to be postponed and fans could easily be buying a ticket for some rearranged game on a Tuesday night.

little_miss_jag Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Hope season ticket holders are going to given 1st offer to buy tickets. Edited December 17, 2012 by little_miss_jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 It's the last game of the season that I'm worried about. Anybody know if you can get a full view of the pitch from the rock/castle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know if you can get a full view of the pitch from the rock/castle? Yeah I am, really worried about the last game of the season. I think it's the only game am at risk of missing!

Sam Leitch Loyal Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 As I said on a thread elsewhere, you can make sure of a seat at the last game of the season by booking hospitality now at £49 per head. Or, if you're the barmaid in the Woody, you can flicker your eyelashes at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody know if you can get a full view of the pitch from the rock/castle? Yes you can but whether the powers-that-be would let you is another matter. There is also the waste ground facing on the other side from the stand (no, not the town centre) which is often used as a viewing platform. Might be stewarded or policed on this occasion, though.

Or, if you're the barmaid in the Woody, you can flicker your eyelashes at me. I know I seen that a while ago but It's christmas and I don't have a spare £49. Hoping that season ticket holders are given priority instead. Edited December 17, 2012 by little_miss_jag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the game is all ticket, and every ticket has sold, I don't see any harm in some "extras" viewing from somewhere outside the ground. Obviously not to be encouraged and I don't know why anyone would travel only to view from outside but hey ho. Shouldn't be policed or stewarded as long as it is not literally on site.

Must look out the old abseiling gear. Think we could get a gigantic Thistle flag flying from the ramparts?

MWM Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 It keeps playing on my mind that if the league goes to the last game of the season and I canny get a ticket then I'll miss us winning the league because of the garden shed capacity. I doubt I'm alone in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nomads should have 400 tickets set aside for this game IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt I'm alone in this. Is there any precident in moving games, by mutual consent, to a larger venue? Surely Dumbarton would be happy with a bumper pay-day and chances are their season will be over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Doubt Dunfermline would be happy with that. Am I right in thinking the amount of season ticket holders we have alone exceeds the away allocation there!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right in thinking the amount of season ticket holders we have alone exceeds the away allocation there!? Well it depends. The "official" away allocation is 500, however in all realism, given Dumbarton will be relegated long before it, it could even be extended to up to around 1,500.

ian_mac Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Dumbarton would be daft not to get temporary stands in for the last game of the season. Could be assembled in less than a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozieptfc Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 As ian said im pretty sure there would be temp stands put up if it went to the last game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shut up mimsy Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Most 3rd division teams have been getting temp stands for you know who.. So clearly it must be financially beneficial so no reason why this wouldn't be done edit: made an arse of a spelling and would like to add that i think glasgow warriors have had it done for a sevens tournemant Edited December 17, 2012 by shut up mimsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin1876 Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't think Dumbarton would turn down the opportunity to get a crowd of 3000-4000 (which, if the title is decided on the last day, is quite likely), so I expect they'll either put up a temp stand or play the game elsewhere. I doubt there's anything stopping them from playing at Cappielow, for example, as Morton are away on the last day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Say we're in the SPL next year and there is a chance Celtic could win the league at Firhill, would those here suggesting the Dumbarton game be moved to Cappielow or similar support playing the game at Ibrox or Hampden?

If we were to get all the money, and our season was over, then no I wouldn't mind. 50,000 fans with average ticket 15 quid would make 750,000 minus say 20% for stadium would leave us £600,000. Would you turn that down? Likewise, say we move the game, we could get 7000 fans instead of the two thousand at dumbarton. The extra 5000 fans brings in £75,000 for Dumbarton and 7000 isnt too high an estimate. Edited December 17, 2012 by read'n'yell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenziejag Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 I know it is exciting watching Thistle this year, but lets not start counting chickens- there are still over 20 games to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly, I'd prefer exactly that, rather than seeing thousands of pox-ridden zombies celebrating at Firhill.

I wouldn't have any objections actually. Providing we were to keep the full gate and we had nothing to play for ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
