GOAT 30,449 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I thought it was pretty pathetic. It's just a 20 minute drive from Glasgow ffs, yet too many couldn't arsed showing up. I've got a funny feeling the semi-final against the bheggers might attract a better crowd.....? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Edinburgh, is that a good enough excuse?Did you go because you couldn't be bothered because it was only Kilmarnock?Or because it was raining?No? Then wind yer neck in pal, it's not aimed at you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdasyn 431 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Live 2 hours away, haven't got a driving licence, finish work at half 5, skint. Was a bit gutted I couldn't make it but I'll make up for it with a few more away games this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansion 120 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was in attendance. Chadwick stand was just about full. Opposite stand wasnt. Midweek games are hard for Students and Late workers to attend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Callahan 9 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Unfortunately train time-tables aren't tailored to my needs.I met a mate in the pub just before the game, he arrived just on 7.30pm, plenty time to walk to the ground and be in before kick off.I'll give you 3 guesses which city he works in and what time he finishes at.......You don't need to justify why you never attended, you also don't need to make an excuse up.

cwoodloyal 34 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 £40 for a ticket on sunday,then £20 for 2nite,home game on sat then an away trip in europe next tues,a lot of bears maybe couldnt afford it 2nite plus all the costs with travel and if they had the choice to miss 1 of these games it would have been 2nite.

Clemdog 39,389 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The first game I've been to were it felt like I was watching a kick about down the park.Think the atmosphere was left down the M77. No complaints though, I'd much rather spend my money and my night watching The Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markybear 136 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I think the point he's making is folk that go all the time should get 1st dibs on big game tiks, maybe like a tier system. Tier 1- goes to every game, tier 2- 3/4 of the games, tier 3- 1/2 and so on. Tickets then dribble down the tiers when in short supply. Pretty much like the travel club system Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
