Skora11 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Let’s hope for at least the amount of season tickets we have sold. Anything above that would be a bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post G Posted July 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Irrespective of how this has been handled by our club, and to be fair, clear and constant communication throughout would have eased a lot of concerns amongst supporters, I’m still amazed that the SPFL get away unscathed from scheduling this as the first fixture. Killie at home to Inverness for example would have minimised impact on fans due to the number who may have traveled. In a football climate where cash is king, this fixture is a huge source of income for us and the fixture date could effectively cost us £100K in lost gate receipts. Taking money out the equation, the governing body has a responsibility to look after clubs and promote the sport in our country while encouraging supporters to attend. They have the biggest fixture outwith the premier league and they schedule it for the worst possible time. I would loved to have seen Kilmarnock and ‘our opponents’ go public with this and call out the powers that be for being totally inadequate at their jobs, yet again, and ultimately putting fans last.

skygod Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 The SPFL and the BBC would have wanted a high profile match, preferably a derby, to kick off with. They couldn't have known what the state of Covid restrictions would be - could have been stricter or more relaxed - and probably didn't care much. If it hadn't been us it would have been someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had no idea what restrictions would be like and probably didn’t care. And even if they had picked a similarly high profile fixture for TV purposes, the main problem still exists regarding club finances and supporters attending. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 When do you fit the high profile fixtures in then? We have to play Ayr four times, it would be a fool who thinks they could reliably predict when these games could be scheduled so they weren’t impacted by any restrictions. There are just too many variables involved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are, and nothing can be guaranteed, but at the time of scheduling the road map was already in place so I think the footballing authorities could have at least went with that and worked out what's what. If the situation changed then so be it, it's strange timesriggt now and some things can't be helped, but at least give it a fighting chance. I couldn't believe it when the fixtures came out and they had this one down so early on, makes absolutely no sense, and I see they haven't done the same for Glasgow, Edinburgh or Dundee derby's so why us? Them not giving a f**k. Edited July 27, 2021 by Dieter's Heeder 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them not giving a f**k. I actually take it as a compliment that they’ve not scheduled our games against Ayr up against one of the City derbies. It is recognition that this is one of the biggest and most eagerly anticipated fixtures in the football calendar. The fact it’s been so long since we’ve faced each other on league duty only heightens the anticipation. The roadmap only signposted a route out of the restrictions in place at that time. They didn’t give a clear picture of what factors may necessitate further restrictions. As I said too many variables. The biggest being the government has so far failed to react consistently to the threat posed by COVID. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Letting folk who have put £300+ in and more than likely written off the same last year, have priority first, is the blatantly obvious way of being the best and fairest way. That's kinda how loyality in football works. Players wages dont pay themselves. No season tickets sold = no club. why just include last year, what about people who have had ST for more than 25 years? shouldnt they get priority? killie have sold ST for this season, people who have bought them for this season should all have an equal chance of a ticket. -18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because people who bought last year did so with no guarantee they were going to get to games. They showed some faith in the club during the pandemic so this is the club saying thanks to those that did it. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funky monkey Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Every season ticket holder should be treated the same. Simple as that. The loyalty terminology is becoming divisive which is no great surprise. -21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngonge88 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 I just don't understand where this "loyalty" stops. For example, you didn't have a ST last year but do this year. And it works out you get 15/18 games this season. Do you get a loyalty discount/ballot next season because you missed 3 games this season due to ballot. Average admission of £22 per game pay at the gate. Works out at £330 worth you would receive from your £350 ticket. As I said elsewhere, being technically an exile now, I haven't bought one. Just trying to ask a level headed question on it -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what folk would have said if 2700 folk had taken refunds last season? Lotaliry gets rewarded and if that means waiving the right to a £370 refund, then I think a two tier ballot is fair for this season. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also works out cheaper not paying £370 to fund a team during a pandemic so folk can watch on stream for zilch. Lifes not fair. Not sure folk who stumped up £370 last season only not to get inside the stadium, being allowed first dibs on a one off game is top of the unfair league table. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
