Brian Fantana 28,894 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 How do you know these things aren't going to happen? Also we don't just get a lump sum of cash re the season tickets as most of the fans will be paying over the 4 months. Don't want this to turn into the boardroom section but personally I don't want the club to pay Mike Ashley the £5 million back. It's the only bargaining chip we have with regards to trying to sort out this retail deal. Also there wasn't a deadline on the loan.how do you know they will? perhaps if the board were more transparent then we would both know.It's more than just MA we owe money too.As for MA - £5 million is nothing to him and for that money he gets all our sponsorship money up to 2017/8 and a massive chunk of retail money till the loans paid back. For that £5 million he stands to make a lot more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
minus22 207 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Surprised it's not more, even if you don't believe the king/mini hype come and watch the football.This. Plus TO indicated to me on day 2 of general sale it had surpassed 30k and I've noticed a few others mention it also over the weeks. Fuck knows, Maybe its PR to get more people buying. I just can't believe that only 8k have been sold since public sale and there really doesn't look like 20k left when u look at seating plan either. Cannae wait for next Friday right enough, reckon the place will be totally buzzing and hoping for high attendance and to absolutely rip St mirren a new one!

I got mine last Thursday and the boy in TO said 29,000 had been sold then so the current figures are probably about right Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo 32,526 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Even in our final seasons in the SPL, we were often only hitting around 35,000 (proper attendance) for many home games30,000 season tickets on the back of last year is a fantastic achievementNot so sure about that. I remember us rallying round and the stadium being well filled. People bought into CW. The official average over the season was 46k, and from what I remember it looked it.

Inigo 32,526 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Don't want to piss on the parade here but given the signings we've made and the wages we have saved from the clear out of players in the summer, we are probably spending far less than we did previously. Add to that the ST money and we must be a good few million up on the books.So with this money plus the investment King was promising, should we not now be paying off the loans and/or bringing in some more players and refurbishing the stadium?9 Million won't go far. It'll be needed for wages and to run the club over the course of the season. We'll be running at a deficit again this season.I also don't think we'll be spending less on wages. Most of the top team guys that have come in will be on a fair whack. And remember we paid for some of them.We won't be able to pay a loan or refurbish the stadium on money from our turnover this season. No chance.

jintybear 8,536 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The Peterhead game should be a fiver to get in for season ticket holders.I know I thought £15 was a bit steep !

sammy cox 664 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Could be wrong but I think when in div3 the figure was something in the region of 38,000 STs sold but averaging crowds of 45,000.If the club manage over 30,000 STs this season it's still a great show of support once again from the Rangers support.

Suppose I'm just dying for major uptake of season tickets as well given all the changes and it looking rosier I couldn't understand the guy behind the glass either he honestly looked half arsed when I was getting a couple of season tickets when I asked what have you got available in the Copland bud instead of the govan and he just mumbled and looked like he couldn't be arsed helping me so I get what you mean trying to understand what they are saying lol ?

rfc1990 1,140 Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Looking at available seats just now, in the Bill Struth Rear. How is it possible that there's restricted view seats then right next to it is a normal view seat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loan is interest free and we are negotiating better terms of the deal. Let him wait.And we certainly don't want to be splashing cash on players. The manager is doing well with his choices while watching the pennies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gman36 3,455 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I guess with the 15 quid they are trying to find a balance between keeping the price low, but also the fact the crowd might not be great so keeping the price you as well. That being said it's still a fair amount of money just after shelling out for a ST Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
