Popular Post Pieboy Posted July 25, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 10 minutes ago, Fletch said: The OP here is absolutely pathetic. It's not unusual for councillors to have directors box or chairman's club tickets. He's a guy who has always supported Kilmarnock and would have been at the game one way or another anyway. They let his family sit with him? So what? Have a word. Pathetic? Have a word with yourself. I’m not normally one to get involved in petty squabbles on here but I will respond as a point of clarification. My post has nothing to do with his boy being there. I am just pointing out that Councillor Reid was in the Frank Beattie stand that we were told was off limits for season ticket holders. I am unsure as to him and his sons membership of the chairman’s club but I’m not prepared to speculate. However, it doesn’t look good when you are the council leader and your council/ governing party is mandating stadium limits and you are in the stadium in an area that wasn’t designated as accessible by supporters. I don’t really have anything to else to add as I don’t want to get personal or political as I said in my original post. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only takes a quick glance realise that directors etc are being classed as part of the club. They obviously fall into that bubble. If you have a genuine issue with it then take it up with the club but you have absolutely no idea who does and doesn't qualify as a club official. As usually people are absolutely desperate to be outraged in this case because they weren't first choice for a ticket, but also would have been outraged if tickets were freely available and they didn't get preferential treatment. Email the club. Ask them why they let a wee boy sit in the main stand, or just bitch and moan about it with no detail of how the situation arose. It's far from a huge deal when we undersold for the game anyway. I have taken it up. It’s nothing to do with the wee boy. It’s also nothing to do with whether we were undersold or not. It’s to do with setting stringent rules and then breaking them when it suits you. It really is an easy concept of all fans being treated in the same manner. And not breaking covid rules. I’ll await the club’s response. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know who is included in the bubble that's allowed in the red zone. You don't know if his seat is Chairman's Club or not, it's by no means a new thing for the Council to have tickets in the directors area. You're basing it on a picture of a wee boy on the main stand. Were Billy Bowie's boys at the game? Probably. Main stand? Probably. It's a low move to be going after people over it because people in a family bubble are being allowed to sit with people who have been allowed to sit in the main stand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kerrwmorton Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I hope the Councillor didn't have binoculars with him, as the number of masks being worn on chins, no masks at all and folks sitting side by side with their mates was way higher yesterday than at the Morton game. There was even a family who chose to sit in one of the gap rows so that they could all be in the same area. I know that it was incredibly hot, i know that going to the football currently feels like a sterile Orwellian experiment but my point is we need to be seen to comply with the rules we've set for ourselves. For those curious, I was in Section 10 of East Stand with one of my sons. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 2 hours ago, Zorro said: So you think a father should be separated from their child at the football? I’d like to think a community club would demonstrate a bit of common sense in this situation. If it wasn’t for the fact I’ve posted on here for years, I’d genuinely struggle to believe grown men are upset about a kid getting to the football with his dad. Or is their something else behind the anger? To be honest more pissed off I wasn’t allowed a bottle of water in that could last both myself and my 10 year old son a full 3 hours on a roasting hot day, wouldn’t happen in Bowhouse nick as it would infringe their rights 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historyman Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 This thread doesn’t make us look very good. The sooner things get back to normal the better as the current regulations are confusing, contradictory and in many cases quite likely ineffective. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjkillie007 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 To be honest it is a fair question. We were told no fans in Frank beattie but it turns out there were fans in Frank Beattie. Poor communication from the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrTumnus Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 I wonder if the folk that think this isn't an issue would say the same if our capacity is set at 2000 next week and they don't get a ticket for the opening game? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjkillie007 Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 It's not so much the fact that there were some fans in the Frank Beattie that bothers me, it's the apparent cloak and dagger way the club go about it that is the problem 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

funky monkey Posted July 25, 2021 Report Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) Heard a Chairmans Club {sic} season ticket is £2.5K. Chairmans Club ticket holders attended RP last season whilst the rest of us watched KTV. Suppose the point is, the more you pay, the more you get. Is that right though? Businesses buying these tickets will use them for all sorts of reasons, probably get tax breaks when buying them, will buy when business is good and drop out when business is bad. All normal you say. Should Chairmans Club season tickets be given priority to any other season ticket, especially given the club said no fans would be in the FB red zone? Cathy has dodged this issue a bit I think. Also, any politician in attendance at RP in these times, who is not a season ticket holder, is a hanger on and shouldn't be there in front of a paying season ticket holder.
