c.r Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I reckon maybe 100 odd members all in, 20 /30 with pyramid, 20/30 with burns, 10/ 15 with Howard, 40 with killie club?? Irvine Valley 10? Just guessing those numbers but don't think can be too far away 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM21 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Impossible to make everyone happy in this situation but the club seem to have found a way to please almost nobody... Credit where credits due... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillieDIV Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) If the announcement was 200 tickets go to supporters clubs and the rest go to a STH ballot then I don't think too many would have a problem. The club has muddied the waters unnecessarily here IMO. Edited June 25, 2019 by KillieDIV 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Scouser2 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Can understand the difficult decisions club must have had to make but for me it doesn't seem right to exclude a large group of loyal fans As a ST holder for decades and I go to around 70% of away games each season......was in supporters club 30 odd years ago but then we started to go to games as a family via cars etc ....and have carried that on since .... O well 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrTumnus Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I would have been disappointed but would gladly have accepted not getting a ticket if I had been given a fair chance. Now I've been given no chance. Crazy decision!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killieboykfc Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Absolutely terrible decision. f**king mind boggles. I live in north lanarkshire and go to every game, got a season ticket but cause I don't go on a registered supporters bus to away games I don't get the chance to get a ticket. I could've accepted missing out on a ticket due to limited availability but this is a shambles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Is this a sick joke ? Utterly baffling, travelled for 30 years home and abroad and never needed a bus more than a handful of times. Do these clubs have memberships I doubt it ? I have run buses in the past from Kilwinning do I ask for an allocation then ? We had a bus at last game of the season I think we are as organised as other buses. lol whit a joke. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shug Posted June 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 What a way to treat fans who travel hundreds of miles every week to follow killie. ST holder, shareholder, TIK and privilege seat holder who travels to every game from Falkirk yet because I don’t travel on a bus from killie I don’t get a chance of a ticket! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirdwatch1965 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Supporters buses,f**k me. Not everyone goes on these buses. Not everyone wants to go drinking as normally happens. 4 of us were driving down and back same day due to work. Disgraceful decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muir93 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Be interesting to know, if possible, what % of fans went to away games on a supporters bus last season? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullitt Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I have lost out this as I travel by car from Motherwell with my son and dad. Three season ticket holders who attend majority of away games. That being said, I do think that supporters clubs getting first dibs is the correct course of action in the initial batch, even though it works against me. Generally most on a bus will be season ticket holders anyway. Going forward we need a points system as a matter of urgency to stop this in the future. Likely there will still be 600 odd tickets left for ST holders to fight over. Whatever they done would have isolated some groups, it was a lose lose situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosskfc70 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 No win situation for club but think this is the most unfairest of all possible outcomes, always thought season ticket holders were the lifeline of any club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killiekranky Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Putting a lot of pressure on the people who run the buses. Very much looks like the board passed this difficult decision onto the supporters clubs and leave them with the difficult job of saying who does and doesn’t get a ticket. Could end up leaving lasting bad feeling in some clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeb30 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Where has this source came from? Nothing announced by the club yet, if true then it’s a blunder by the club, people make there own way to away matches and some only travel on the buses now and again but might actually get a ticket, what’s stopping the guy who runs the buses saying to his pals I’m guaranteed this amount of tickets I’ll get you one even though he might not even always travel on this bus or not at all, Im a season ticket holder but looks like I will not even be given the opportunity to try and get a ticket. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
