heynow2005 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just reading Rangers have been given the go ahead for 12500 fans at their friendly with Real Madrid on Sun then 17k for their league opener. Would be hoping we get at least 6 or 7k for the Ayr game based on those numbers but who knows if the same logic will be applied... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue here is its, I beleive, down to the local authority, and imo past history would indicate it not going our way. Would be goos though to get more fans in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems ridiculous that we would be stuck with 2-3k when clubs around the country (where covid rates are potentially higher) are getting bigger crowds 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merk Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 The club have to start as high as possible with the bare minimum they are willing to accept being sufficient to allow all season ticket holders entry. Anything less is a joke and if it happens due to local authority ruling, then the club should be sure and make that public knowledge. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ipkis Posted July 20, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Does anyone else think leaving it down to local authorities, and clubs bidding on a game by game basis, is a ridiculous way to do this? 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that's the way it's being done at present. What we have to do, as I think has been stated elsewhere, is prove that we can be trusted, both tonight & Saturday. Wear your mask, sit in your allocated seat, in general don't be a dick! If we can manage this then the local authority won't have any reason not to increase the crowd to a higher, more reasonable capacity. Let's just make sure we don't give them that reason! 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, I'm sure authorities can charge licensing/admin fees and get some money in too - an the Scottish Govt can 'claim' no special consideration given to football - which has certainly been a bone of contention recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, already, we have clowns on these pages saying they'll sit in their own seat regardless of what seat they've booked for the game or what instructions they're given by stewards etc. Makes you despair.

Mclean07 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Looking at the availability in the Chadwick yet tonight, I’m wondering if we’ll need that big a capacity for the Ayr game, especially as it’s on Cooncil TV. An awful lot of people seem put off by the arrangements for getting a ticket and going to and watching the game. Looks like it will be lucky if it’s 1500 tonight. Quite strange given the demand for season tickets and the general enthusiasm. Having said that our own group is reduced due to holidays being although I would have thought 2000 was a certainty. Looks like they’re not going on general sale. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in taking my temperature. It’s to be 25c + at 7 o’clock. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone mentioned above, can go to the pub and mix with as many as you want indoors then walk to the football with as many as you want but then sit in an outdoor arena socially distanced but need to wear a mask....... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twonky65 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Re mask issue at the game. Take a packet of crisps/ popcorn and just eat them very very slowly. That way you don't have to wear a mask -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live too far away to commit to a season ticket but would have been up for travelling through this evening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armstrong86 Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 Surely selling out tonight’s tickets would give the club a stronger argument for increased numbers for following games. I'm currently on annual leave so could buy a ticket right now if the remaining tickets went on general sale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Dan Posted July 20, 2021 Report Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I’m not going as I don’t get away from work at a set time so if I got an early entry slot I may miss it. I have a season ticket and occasionally don’t get to midweek games till nearer 8 o’clock due to work so I am snookered for midweek games until the staggered entry thing stops. Will still pay to watch it at home as well. Edited July 20, 2021 by Cowboy Dan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s still tickets available with a 7:30 entry slot in the Chadwick - not for you specifically I just meant those who are wary about being there very early!

I finnish at six and dont have the car today so cant garuntee id make an entry slot time so im not bothering. Ill buy the steam and im sure there are many in the same boat. -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
