Morrisandmoo Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 1 hour ago, Return of Yermaw said: the perceived increase in arseholes attending is probably related to folks/society increased lack of tolerance of behavior that doesnt conform to their own views as to what is acceptable. for instance those that like to sit in their seat for 90 mins consider those who stand and jump about to be arseholes. Those who stand and/or jump about consider those who ask them to sit down to be arseholes. Some folks consider those with feathers in their hats, kilts or big flags to be arseholes. Those in kilts consider those in no colours or without TA standard issued attire to be arseholes out for bother. and so it continues. As for those attending pished, well, lets just say that it would reasonable to say there would be far more folks attending more pished 20-30 years ago. All in all, if you think there are more and more arseholes going to Scotland games, then i suggest it is more a reflection on your own narrow views as to what is acceptable behavor and dress at a football game or indeed a Scotland game. As for me, i alternate my behavior and dress from game to game. last home game i was in my kilt sitting quietly throughout studying weaknesses in Poland's formation and shouting out helpful tactical hints to Strachan at opportune moments. This time will be in jeans, pished, louping about with the football a mere distraction. 100% Spot On. Embarrassing listening to all this greeting.

weekevie04 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I'll go for around 40,000. If we win, and get a positive result in Slovakia, followed by a good performance in England - expect the next home games will be sold-out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so,but if folk are paying £40 odd for a seat,the least they shall expect is to be able to use it rather than having 8 people squeezed into 4 places. Utter bellends that have serious issues if they can't spend 90 minutes away from their pals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we're paying through the nose for a seat and lest we forget you should be thrown out for standing. People seem to think the rules should apply but not to them. if you want to stand with your pals then pester the SFA for safe standing. Don't ruin other folks enjoyment. Also how groups of adults end up in the Family section I don't know. That rips my knitting because it's those feckers that are normally causing the trouble.

For your last point,I don't think there is a family section now,bizarrely. You can buy kids tickets for all areas of the stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASTA Mick Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Depressing when you have a season ticket and get stuck behind some guy that drops his guts every few minutes and in-front of some clueless rangers fan. Can you swap seats when you've bought a ST? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz7 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Never used to bother about prices much as always go with my sons and family tickets were I felt good value. Last night however has got me pissed off nearly 20000 empty seats is ridiculous. Those extra fans could have made the difference. The amount of fans leaving after 75 mins as well unfortunately says it all. We are down in the dumps and I am really feeling it. The last few campaigns have knackered me and lost all my optimism. We have had nothing to celebrate game wise since 2008 campaign. Sfa need all tickets at a tenner to fill ground and even that won't work if we lose in slovakia. Giz a fkn razor lol.

Scotland v Georgia at Ibrox for example. 34K turned up- mainly due to the price of tickets. Cut the ticket price by £10, sell another 14-15K tickets, make more money and have more fans behind the team. Its not rocket science.

TheBoysinGreen Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 We got 43,000 in for the Georgia game on Thursday night. Cheapest tickets were €30 and the dearest around €80. Most empty seats in the premium section. How much do the SFA charge in Hampden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudScot Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 A change of manager, style of play and formation is the only thing that will see the attendance bumped up to what it should be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
