Am guessing they would have had a say in it? They asked their 12 away supporters what they thought and only 8 are going now!

People would have organised travel etc already. The league should be required to announce dates and times of games 8 weeks in advance. Expecting people to organise days off work, travel, accommodation, even things like childcare with only a few weeks notice is insane.

Don't think this would be the right game for it as a standalone, maybe if was just the start of match boycotts. Personally I'd love to find another way so as to not impact on the team which this clearly would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMax399 3,993 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Another game on the ST I won’t be going to, as well as the Hampden games. Not a great start to the season in so many respects. EllonLoyal and Paisley Blue Loyal 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given how much The Rangers board seem to like Dignified silences then surely they’d appreciate The Dignified silence from a near empty stadium or does it not work that way 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The European qualifiers only concluded last week and once it gets to the knock out rounds there can be as little as two weeks between rounds.

The international break officially starts on the Monday regardless of when Scotlands game is. Rangers requested a switch to away fixture but "other parties" didn't accept that. I can only assume that was St Johnstone. gj923 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cunts running the club could tell me it’s Sunday and I’d have to check my phone to see what day it is. They are liars and I wouldn’t believe they’ve actually done anything of the sort. They probably just rolled over and accepted like the little bitches they are. Said it before but they couldn’t give a fuck about the support. However if it was announced Cinch were the match sponsors then they’d kick up all sorts of drama - they only give a fuck about themselves.

AberfeldyBlue 1,872 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 so after perhaps one game where they may get an upturn is back to looking at hald empty stands whilst we are packed in like sardines and thousands cant get a ticket I am sure the USA owner thinks he playing hardball but this isnt Ted Lasso and he will learn the hard way, as per HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are thousands of empty seats there every time us of the filth play so taking away 300 or so seats from us isn't going to make any difference to that. Token gesture to get them onside which will probably be reversed within 2 years. HG5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 2,017 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Other than making some of today's headlines I really don't see what St Johnstone gain as a club. At no point last season or any other did St Johnstone supporters lose out on attending a game due to an away ticket allocation. Biggest recorded attendance was against us, at just short of 7000, with a capacity of over 10500 it leaves 3500 unsold tickets. At times in Scotland we seem to hell bent in undermining ourselves with decisions that don't make financial sense. Another game added to TV coverage with half empty stands. graeme_4 and HG5 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ayro 3,497 Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 I don’t get why they don’t do what Livingston had, one full stand the length of the pitch to house the home fans, give the other 3 stands to us. If they consider they can do two stands then one at the side and one behind the goal, it’s not rocket science. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One at the side is where all their season ticket holders are and the other is press, hospitality etc so wouldn't mean much of a bigger allocation. ayro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
