kumnio Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Will the SFA finally accept that they have screwed the prices up. Only Saturday game of the year, and a very poor attendance. SFA gtf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolhibby Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Apparently the worst Saturday crowd in 13 years.That is scandalous IMHO.Questions need asked. Is there a fans rep on the board? If not why not? J Edited October 11, 2014 by Bristolhibby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Why do you think Saturday's match against Georgia have 17,000 empty seats? I think this is a fair question to put to the SFA and it would be interesting to see their answer.

thplinth Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) Stop trying to talk to the SFA like they are decent normal human beings. They are not as they have proven so many times. We love Scotland, we love the scotland team... but the right course of action now is to withdraw all funding from the team, and use that as a financial weapon to bludgeon the SFA board not into submission but to death. If you have them on their knees but then let them back onto their feet you have no one to blame but yourself yet again. All of them have to go. (Doncaster and those other kunts to follow.) This is so easy, all you do is cut off the money supply - 6 months max - all of them gone.

thplinth Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 The TA is the most nationalist rich, YES voting demographic in Scotland. So if we (the TA) cannot 'clean out' our own house, i.e. the SFA, what expectation can we realistically ever put on the rest of Scotland to ever clean out their own houses i.e. holyrood, westminster etc.. We have to clean out the SFA, it is the first tangible step. It is something we can all achieve quite quickly, if we decide to together.

kumnio Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Apparently the worst Saturday crowd in 13 years. Thats pathetic, surely the SFA need to look at themselves. The teams on a relative high, confidence in the players and manager must be at a 6 year high, yet we have a poor attendance. The SFA are not fit for purpose.

betsy123 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ireland tickets were 10 for kids and 20 for adults today, a crowd of 35,000 isnt too bad against Gibraltar. From watching bits of your game,there wasn't many empty seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Of Paisley Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Ire should not be aimed at Doncaster. Should be aimed at Regan and that utter Broadfoot. The contempt they have shown the support deserves their arses and heads handed to them on a plate. 34.000 is embarrassing when you consider the momentum we have enjoyed under wee Gordon. We have shot ourselves in the foot big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanTokyo Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 34000 at say an average price of £37 is £1.26m in revenue. 52000 tickets at average of £27 would be £1.4m so surely even the inept SFA can see they have lost out today. What a useless shower of ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_B81 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Today's game should've been a sell out. Only Saturday game and the team on the up. £42 for North and Main Stands and £35 behind the goal was a joke and, even though I would much rather have been at the game than watch at a mates house as I did today, I'm glad there were a good number of people who voted with their feet and refused to now to the ridiculous prices. Even keeping last campaigns prices (£32/£25) would more likely have seen a sell out. Wonder what it'll be like against Gibraltar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TartanTeddy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 (edited) First home game competitive or friendly I've missed in Glasgow while being home in ten years. But I couldn't accept the prices asked. Was a bit strange to be on the subway gong the opposite direction twenty minutes before kick off. But to be honest, I sat in the Landsdowne Bar in Kelvinbridge and had a really nice meal and a couple of pints and watched the game on a large screen in a warm and cosy environment. All in £20. And that's the thing. For those that normally go and decided not to because they are tired of getting shafted by the SFA, it's actually going to be hard to get them back into the seats. So the loss isn't just fans today. TT Edited October 11, 2014 by TartanTeddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khana Lagur Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 (edited) Don't want to come across as some drunken emotional early morning idiot - but that attendance today was a fucqin disgrace: 34, 719. SFA you want your arse kicked because you have no idea what make Scotland fans tick. That crowd was there IN spite of you, not because of you TW@TS And you can try and ban me if you want. But you WON'T. You know you WON'T. Edited October 12, 2014 by Khana Lagur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tartan Docs Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Will the SFA change the ticket price for the Gibraltar game? It should be £25 a ticket and give partial refunds to ST holders........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
