ThornTON Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 With only the main stand being open, just curious how many folk are not going for this reason alone. Quick poll to see how many are being driven away because of the clubs decision (albeit an understandable one) to only open the main stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InverAlly Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Should have a 'Maybe' option. I'll be there if the wean's Brownie Christmas Show is finished in time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this poll, you could do it on a Saturday to see how many on here go to the game, just to work out a percentage figure of the total attendance. I doubt we'd hit 50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishyTON Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Not going due to only main stand being opened. I have got a nagging leg injury and there is no way I am sitting in those cramped seats and making it worse. I understand why the club has done this and actually agree with them doing it, but it means that I cannot go. Mon the Ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymcc1874 Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't think it's an understandable decision at all. The place is a nightmare, while (as someone mentioned on a previous thread) the Cowshed offers both seating and standing options. I'm not going for that reason. TTG JIM!!!

ThornTON Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 I don't think it's an understandable decision at all. Because the stand needs to be open for the directors, players, non-ambulant and the partially sighted anyway. So they would still have the costs of the whole ground being open.

Ken_Ton Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 With only the main stand being open, just curious how many folk are not going for this reason alone. Quick poll to see how many are being driven away because of the clubs decision (albeit an understandable one) to only open the main stand. Going because I support Morton, went to Turriff and want to see the replay. Would much prefer to be in the Shed, however will live with the discomfort (I'm 6' 2'') or hopefully find enough space to stretch my legs. Also, please tell Dougie...I'm bringing a friend.....!!!

Well then Sinclair St end could easily be opened for the cost of 1 or 2 extra stewards (which would be covered by the few extra people who would attend if they weren't going to be stuck in the stand) TTG JIM!!!

Dr Zhivago Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Going but not fecking happy about it!! I'd forgotten that only the stand was open. Was going to take the boy, but he likes to wonder about.. no way he'd sit (took him to the stand for a pre-season game and he drove me mad!). Won't be there..

WeegieTon Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Not going primarily because it's the main stand that's only open. Like others I agree with the decision but i do not want to try and cram my 6'2" frame into one of the tiny spaces available in the stand. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThornTON Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well then Sinclair St end could easily be opened for the cost of 1 or 2 extra stewards (which would be covered by the few extra people who would attend if they weren't going to be stuck in the stand) And turnstile operators, possibly the pie stall, cleaning the toilets and the terrace afterwards, extra folk selling programmes/raffle tickets. The police may also not agree with it, there are numerous factors to consider not to mention what happens if it starts raining and folk start heading for the stand en masse. It's not all about costs, you clearly don't understand the logistics of opening more space than is necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
