Agreed. I’m not looking for a refund or anything, but there’s not even a thanks and better luck next time communication to those that have paid and aren’t getting to go. The club treat the fans like a piece of shit on their shoe, and have done for years now. Demand outstrips supply, but a wee token gesture every so often would be nice.

I don't disagree the club have contempt for the support but some of the complaints in here are taking the piss I mean imagine thinking the club are going to be excluding people from ballots ffs Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendlies were not included on your ST and you had to tick the box for them when renewing your ST. The friendlies were a separate ballot. Mate I was having a laugh 🤣 I'm fine not getting one, it was a penalty shootout and someone had to go out. Also, I did tick the friendlies just was unlucky not to get any. But aye appreciate the sentiment 😁 JCDBigBear 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats going to happen at every club though, people controlling ticket distribution are going to look after their pals if they can.

McEwan's Lager 30,523 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 37 minutes ago, Prso's headband said: Good shout, not sure how it could work then. I was talking to someone last night who suggested they should have done it by Section, so for example take all of the top tier of the SJ, Copland, Broomloan and then redistribute half of those people in the corresponding sections in the below tiers. And then reverse it for the next fixture (everyone in the bottom tiers are successful and half would move to the top tiers) if we are still under restrictions. That seems sensible to me because it would ensure people are still together but without knowing how the ticket system totally works it does seem like it would involve a lot of manual processing.

You were clearly talking about names being removed from the ballot witch is completely different if this is what you think you've either misread or misunderstood my point - if everyone was in every ballot those being " looked after " would be at every game with a ready made excuse they came out in the ballot Tiger Shaw 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fallout is being overegged here. It’s been pretty minimal. I think we can all probably agree: - The club is shite and communicating, and not transparent in their decision making - Fans are not well treated / rewarded - Folk being disappointed in not getting a ticket is natural - A wee bit of venting is ok McEwan's Lager and Tiger Shaw 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
