chubbs Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm sure all the supporters clubs will have registered their membership numbers for the last couple of years .... or will the all now claim to have 200 members on their books. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chris1810 Posted June 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Terrible decision from the club. I feel for those who travel to away games themselves or on public transport. Really surprised at this. Tinpot club mentality. The precedent had been set for other cup games. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiekranky Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Back heeled responsibility completely. Wouldn’t like to be the guy in charge of deciding who does and doesn’t get tickets on his bus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Painter Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 How many people have messaged @Squirrelhumper To ask for a ticket? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steppskillie Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) My prediction was correct then thought I wouldnt get a ticket despite being a shareholder, season ticket holder, only missing 4 league games home and away but just not a member of a supporters club. Oh well...saves me coming back from holiday to watch the game then which I was planning to do. At least I know my place in the pecking order going forward. Very frustrating when you are at Dundee midweek with only 96 fans, ICT away with 125 fans, Parkhead with around 250 on more than one occasion. Difficult decision for the club though I suppose someone had to miss out. Edited June 25, 2019 by Steppskillie 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven to home games and away games for the last 40 years as I don't stay in Ayrshire. I have also been a season ticket holder for more than 30 years and am a shareholder yet I am excluded apparently. What a fu**ing joke.

BobbyJoe_Kfc Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Appreciate this is complex - and inevitably people will be disappointed in whatever the outcome was, however, this is patently not the best way forward for this tricky situation. An own goal by the club I would suggest. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepie Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Anyone who travel on these buses will think it’s a great idea while folk who don’t will think it will be bulls**t. I’m surprised they have went this route but there was always going to be way more losers than winners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieFM86 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 2 minutes ago, SCOOT KFC said: What if you travel to every game by car or train? Agree. Because I need to drive to away games due to work before or after the match then I have no chance of a ticket. I’m sure there will be a lot of people in the same position who didn’t miss any or many away games last year but because they don’t get to games by a supporters bus then tough luck basically. Poor decision by the club. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug2930 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I go to probably 3/4 of games in a season between home and away. Never near a supporters bus. I've got no problem at all with the guys who do Ross County and Pittodrie on a Wednesday night on a supporters bus getting first dibs. But will be interested to see how many are left over after that. I've had.no expectation of a ticket since we found out capacity. However some kind of ballot would have been better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jam1869 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Some guys only there for a piss up on away days, get priority over season ticket holders. Shambles. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiegram Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Well I’m unlikely to get a ticket. Don't have a problem with the criteria in principle but I do wonder though how reliable the supporters clubs lists will be. Might be open to some strong arm tactics. Don't be surprised if some clubs claim to have 3000 members. Some supporters club secretaries should switch off their phones about now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoktid Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Was impossible to please everyone but that’s a slap in the face to people like myself who have always made their own way to games. We all know it’s not a superfan v competition but 22 years on the bounce having a ST and I pretty much won’t get the opportunity? Anyway, hopefully the home leg gets well packed out and there is a healthy win over both legs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skygod Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) It does look like the club has passed the buck for distribution on to the supporters' clubs. Unfortunate, as it sets a precedent for future all-ticket matches. Maybe they will have a good explanation.

PrestersKtid Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I’ve gone on supporters buses, mostly killie club, many a time but doesn’t necessarily make me a member I take it? Real shame club could’ve easily given a portion to the SCs and then balloted season ticket holders etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harley Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I drive to most away games. I never go on a bus. A season ticket holder and a shareholder and I now even won’t get a fair chance of a ticket for Rhyl. My son just texted me from Aberdeen where he is working and said he is seriously thinking about cancelling his season ticket. Complete and utter f**k up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GavKillie Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I'm starting up a supporters club. We make our own way there and I'll blag the tickets and distribute appropriately. Honest I really will. Let the bidding wars commence!!! Imagine not trying to please the season ticket holders who go with their kids. So much for family club! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 It's not as if all the tickets will go to the buses. Just first dibs. Most clubs will run 1 bus. Some might even do mini buses. I'd suggest convenors will take care of their regulars (1 ticket each) and the rest will be distributed by the club in the usual manner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebigguy68 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 A rare blunder by a typically well informed board if true. Outdated notion of how folks get to games. Season ticket holders are the lifeblood and should get priority. In fact, the more I think about this the less likely I’m inclined to believe this is the decision. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
