Guest BlueGaz Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) The clubs in the top and bottom six of the Ladbrokes Premiership are now confirmed - we expect to publish the post-split fixtures early next week. (8 April 2017). Round 34 - Saturday 29 April, 2017 Round 35 - Saturday 6 May, 2017 Round 36 - Saturday 13 May, 2017 Round 37 - Tuesday 16 May & Wednesday 17 May, 2017 Round 38 - Saturday 20 May & Sunday 21 May, 2017 Hopefully out today. Should be Celtic (cfmd), Aberdeen and Hearts at hom, St. J and Partick away for us. Quite an exciting run in. Looking forward to it. Will miss the last game of season, Iron Maiden in Brum. Good planning Gaz. Edited April 11, 2017 by BlueGaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reevesy Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Don't be too hard on yourself, most of us expected your last game of the season to be Saturday 20th May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is right though, it's farcical that one fixture was decided before the rest. I'm not paying £49 for the pleasure of a trip to Ibrox for a meaningless match, so personally couldn't care less when it is. It's all about the trip to Todders for me now Edited April 11, 2017 by Reevesy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its not going to change any time soon. They will sell what they believe makes them money, its the way of the world unfortunately. I don't blame you. They both rip us off with this fixture, disgusting. All important games for us to keep St J at bay, hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem for the regular fans is that, if they don't pay it, then the one game a season mob will That means any hope of an organised boycott goes out the window and they can basically charge what they like.

Heard a bit of Superscoreboard last night and they were talking about how 'well Thistle had done, and how they could get more people through the gates. The people running the game telling everyone that only 1/30 post split fixture matters isn't going to encourage a wee guy from Glasgow to go and follow Partick Thistle. The people in charge of selling our game are doing us a disservice. There's going to be some cracking games in the next 6 weeks, but they've put a dead rubber on a pedestal.

sbcmfc Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 The near doubling of the price for the OF game kind of undermines any gripe about Motherwell etc sticking 2 quid on the tickets for OF visits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 22k signed up for home / away cup games, semis and finals. So when we get a ballot like a couple of weeks ago, only about 18.5k got a ticket. There are guys who get tickets every time, and in this particular ballot there were guys who didn't get one, didn't get one in October, or last year for semi and final. But the club don't give a fvck, they will always sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are slightly different set up. You have to sign up for away games during renewal and the numbers always far exceed any allocation we get, even for Hampden, so you will never get a sale for an away ticket. So we don't get one game a season mob - for away games anyway. Edited April 11, 2017 by BlueGaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely mental It is, but the clubs don't dictate the price for Hampden, so we don't get shafted. There is only 1 winner for OF away fans, and 1 loser.

Reevesy Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I'm sure in recent years that the top and bottom 6 were confirmed before game 33 but they still waited until then to announce them. Might even have been last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good planning Gaz. We split 2 season tickets between 3 of us this year to keep costs down (and reduce the number of games we "had" to go to). We weren't really bothered about who would get what games as long as we each got one OF game with a coin being tossed to see who got to go to 2. I was up North for Hogmanay so missed the first one and will be on Holiday on the 29th so will now miss the second one!! I reckon I've been to a maximum 4 games this season so my value for money season ticket has worked out at around £75 a game!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
