Seen this image which made sense. Feasability studies being done as we speak. Club finally realising that Commercially we have under- achieved. couple of hundred grand being spent at Auchenhowie, over 1 million being spent on stadium improvements. The work for Ed house/ Museum is out for tender. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen this image which made sense. Extra tier on the SJ stand would only increase capacity by 6/7 thousand. Still think the corners need filled in and extra seats fitted to front of BR/CR. Think that might be enough for 13 thousand on waiting list. How to pay for this £2000 from the waiting list is 26 million. For that they get 3/4 free seasons when complete.

Was nowhere near as difficult to get tickets when we were winning things as it is now Our ST as % of capacity was far lower then, as I'd imagine was the waiting list. What makes you think that when we start winning titles again ST holders are going to start chucking it? Folk are renewing in droves when we're not winning, cant see a shift change and folk then not auto renewing when we are. Its changed dynamics now with the ST holder base dominating near maximum ticket availability. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if some of them are children and concessions. What if any of the people die during the construction of their new seated area? What if they don't have 2grand sitting spare?

pollok-bear 7,537 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I brought up the expanding of the stadium but a question we need to ask ourself is where has the 13 thousand on the waiting list came from. Tims are dominating just now and makes it strange all these fans weren’t about when we wur dominating. Alot of fans seemed to have come from nowhere. Are ppl actually willing to have a season ticket for a long period of time to make it worthwhile to expand our stadium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you're right, I just get the impression that as years go on and the club returns to winning titles on a regular basis that the numbers may start to drop. Our next title win will be the biggest the club will ever experience, it'll never be topped at any stage in our history. It's brought a lot of attention to the club in terms of people wanting tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've mentioned it on here before but I know personally of a guy that only ever supported Man United until this season when he bought a ST for us. Since our season has more or less ended and United beat PSG his social media accounts have reverted back to just being about Man United Embarrassing cunt that he is pollok-bear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McEwan's Lager 30,259 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 A few years ago a committee worked on plans for a museum in Ed House. Not sure if it will be the same idea or whether new plans are being drawn up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's brought a lot of attention to the club in terms of people wanting tickets. After what we've been through after the relief and jubilation of the first title there will be a demand to get on a run of them. That's when the real bitterness and gloating will come again and I doubt many will Jack it in then. Are you likely to chuck it soon in the few years after we get top again? Has anyone even implied it let alone stated it? Nah mate, we're all around for the long term payback and then some 👍 .Williamson. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking into every way to bring more money in via hospitality trying to make match day an experience. TheCutch, Inigo and Escobar 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
