Much as we would all prefer this option who under writes the approx. £100k in lost revenue. Would we attract an extra 4,000 Killie fans ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might have only given them one end but they still had either part of the East stand or part of the Frank Beattie stand which would be preferable to what we have now, but as superfan says, would we fill our own end ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be possible to segragate sections of the west and east so that they still have the numbers but are contained at one end of the ground?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dropping the price by £4 to encourage home fans back is a worthwhile trade off. Nice idea but £32k x three or four is a lot of money to forego. I think every other club except Hamilton increases their prices for the OF. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security requirements are way over the top as the demand by away fans is satisfied by their existing allocation. The price is prohibitive, as the game is often on TV and we usually don't often get a result. We need an imaginative promotion for Killie fans, like buy one get one half price, while leaving theirs at £27. We need to encourage family ticket holders. Even though safety is OK after the game, we may need to do something to reassure people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhumper Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 The folk that think its unsafe at RP after these games have obviously never seen us win at Ibrox the week they went into Admin! Been held back there for years at FT but not that day. Was almost as if the polis were wanting folk to get sore faces outside the away end! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though safety is OK after the game, we may need to do something to reassure people. Agree with all of that, make those games part of a multi-game deal so that they actually work out good value. Since we know they will be on TV try lowering the price for once and restricting them to one end with part of the FB or East stand and making family tickets valid. 1 minute ago, Killie alan said: I get what you’re saying guys but surely the safety of our supporters is first and foremost.

It is safe, folk have just got it into their head that it's not. The pubs in the town will be full of tims on sunday, same as it was last month against Rangers and there will be zero issues. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudger Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Massive overreaction to the perceived lack of safety at these games. There have been a few bad games due to certain circumstances but the vast majority pass with no incidents whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cammy_boy Posted September 21, 2018 Report Share Posted September 21, 2018 Main issues are the feeling hemmed in and that we bent over to them both on the park for years. Folk wont admit it but they wont go because they think we wont win.. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to hear! Sunday, with the unveiling of the History Board at 10.30/10.45am, marks the end of Phase I. Managed today to get the Park Suite for a cuppa afterwards so TiK people attending aren't twiddling their thumbs 'til kick off. Will get that out to everyone shortly. We are planning the next phase and how best to have the discussion with everyone regarding potential projects. (The 'Chairman with £100k' was a useful thread) Arranging a 'Meet Cathy' thing too soon...........hopefully Sunday will bring a few folk to have a blether with her informally in the Park Suite first. There is a lot of REALLY pro-active stuff going on behind the scenes and a real desire for positive change. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shortie Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 it is what it is to me - personally I don't mind either the old firm coming to RP. I like the atmosphere when both ends are filled up. And when you beat them it is even better. I have never felt intimidated by them. I think the 2 points raised above would get more fans coming back to these games Realign the price with other league matches. £22 a ticket when we are giving them 8,000 tickets is already generating significant income. Dropping the price by £4 to encourage home fans back is a worthwhile trade off. Make it easy for family season ticket holders to ‘bolt on’ an upgrade for each old firm game at a special price to encourage their attendance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caldow Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 I used to get really riled by their songs but that’s exactly why they sing them. They think it makes them big/ clever/ hard/ smart. No matter how vile their celebration of murderers is nothing is ever going to get done about it. Just ignore it, don’t boo or get upset and just be glad that you’re not one of them. Don’t worry about your kids hearing it - if you bring them up properly they’ll also realise how pathetic and sad it is. It is a problem with our society as a whole but it’s not about “culture” or “heritage” - it’s about being scum and a lack of respect. I don’t think they actually hate each other because they’re just the same as each other - it’s everyone else that they’re trying to offend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
