Jaggernaut Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 It's virtually certain that the last game of the season at Dumbarton will be a 100% sell-out, with only a relatively small percentage of the potential Thistle support able to attend. Anybody know if it could be arranged to screen the game live in the Aitken Suite or/and the JH Stand? A fee to be charged, bar and food, what a party that could be. The Sons could get a cut, and as it's only Jags fans that would be there, no effect on any other teams' attendances. More £££ for the club as they start preparing for next season.

Jaggernaut Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The more I think about it..... it would mean a welcome party already in place for the team coming back to Firhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willjag Posted April 11, 2013 Members Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Technically, I think it could be beyond us. But what a great idea especially the return. Is that the POTY night as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fistle1876 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Dumbarton won't sell all their tickets. Buy them from for their end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collins Out! Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Will be getting switched to Hampden surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dave Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Fistle has the right idea. Buy them from Dumbarton direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagsfan1963 Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 I like the idea of a temporary stand being built across from the stand. Elevated to give a view over the fence. If that's not possible I'd love the idea of a large screen tv at Firhill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 If (hopefully) the league is settled before the Dumbarton game I can't see demand being that great - if points are needed there to clinch the league it'll be a totally different matter though...

Shuggie Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 As a potential revenue earner for the club, some advance planning for such an event at Firhill could be prudent - especially if any key technical difficulties are actually surmountable? I wonder if a pint or two could be enjoyed in the stands considering the circumstances that might prevail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Is it Falkirk that streams live coverage for a fee? If they can do it, why should it be technically non-feasible for PTFC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Dumbarton won't sell all their tickets. Buy them from for their end. It could tho' be a crunch game for Dumbarton tho' I kinda think it'll be Cowden & Pars fighting to avoid the play off place. Looks like the Sons have a normal home support around 500-600. Last game of the season traditionally brings out a few more so even if nothing at stake by May 4th a ground that size is bound to sell out if arranged properly..

Though the SFL might worry that the arrangement would catch on and sevco would end up playing every match at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lady-isobel-barnett Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 (edited) Brechin got dispensation to play at Forfar so there's some criteria and did Queens not play a game with Ross Co at a neutral venue? Brechin are in play off territory so it can't be argued that it needs to be a dead rubber*. Best I suppose to wait a wee while to see what status this game will have. But Wales were allowed to move a home fixture to Anfield after all. *kinda think that might have another meaning in Dumbarton.

uberteeb Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 It's at times like these I am glad I am one of the 'true supporters' with a season ticket The league should be won by then anyway so I can't see demand being huge anyway to be honest.
