port-ton Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Fans to enter cowshed through wee Dublin end due to caley changing area. I was critical of the club for midweek but didn't think they'd inconvenience fans to remedy it. Are they going to continue with this for other teams? Good people will do good things, bad people will do bad things, but only with religion do good people do bad things!  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealTonKid Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I've added tomorrow's ICT game to my fan card, so I don't know how/if they're gonna be able to scan it at the WDE turnstyles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could tell Inverness and their torn-faced 'Rain-jurs ledge-und' manager to either 1) lump it, 2) run themselves up to Lady Octavia, or 3) carryout their boycott and see what happens to them. And if they're not going to do any of the above, then 4) inconveniencing 40 folk in hospitality is a less bad option than 5) inconveniencing 85% of your customer base. The site is supposed to be a place for the extended 'family' of Morton supporters - having an affinity with people that you don't know, because you share a love of your local football club. It's not supposed to be about point scoring and showing how 'clever' or 'funny' you are, or just being downright rude and offensive to people you don't know, because you can get away with it. Unfortunately, it seems the classic case of people who have little standing/presence in real life, use this forum as a way of making themselves feel as if they are something. It's sad, and I've said that before..  So, having been on Morton forums for about 15 years I guess, I've had enough... well done t*ssers, another Morton supporter driven away. You can all feel happy at how 'clever' you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing they've got to provide a certain amount of space, etc with all the guidelines too. Apart from about 10 fans who stand there in all weathers, it's not going to make much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 5 minutes ago, SpoonTon said: Yeah, but how is it going to work? Since nobody’s paying attention to this point- it isn’t going to work, unless they have hand held scanners, which would need programmed and they’ll probably make a rip roaring cunt of that. I hope the club take as seriously the complaints on here about how dismally the kids in the Cowshed are being treated by the stewards as they are taking the bleating of that wee bellend, Dodds. Somehow I suspect not, though. Will they be sticking portaloos in the gym? Are players allowed to shower yet? Obviously that won’t be happening. The club are really as well just upsetting Inverness again, rather than mess about with their current procedures. I’d much rather see the whole away party upset tomorrow than the 10 or so old blokes that like their spot on Sinclair Street. Maybe one day the board will read the room.

I genuinely didn't have a clue how it would work. I didn't know they had hand held scanners. I also don't think it's daft if people are feeling put out by it. I don't think you should dismiss fans habits in terms of their experience on a matchday - it's a bit belittling to dismiss their preference to stand in the Sinclair Street end just because they are in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have to go in different doors of shops, wear masks, do track and trace, book tables in pubs, etc. All we're being asked to do is go in different turnstiles. There's much bigger problems at the club and I'd be far more concerned if they couldn't get a solution and we're forced to lose out on hospitality money. Instead there's a solution that's a minor inconvenience and there's tweets saying a 'new low'. It's more than likely that the club don't have much choice to find an alternative anyway and aren't just doing it because Billy Dodds moaned in the papers. Probably worth adding that I think the club have brought a lot of this criticism on themselves. If other things were dealt with better wee things like this wouldn't be magnified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EanieMeany Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 If other teams don’t like it they should complain to the authorities that are inexplicably refusing to allow changing rooms to be used. The only real option in Cappielow is the hospitality lounges and there’s no way that should be given up, so if it has to be portakabins then tough shite. It’s not ideal but it’s not Morton’s fault there’s stupid rules in place about not using dressing rooms.  The club should under no circumstances be closing a section of the ground or the main entry point because some fuckin idiot throws a tantrum after his team got beat. Morton’s fans are their only priority, not other team’s comfort for half an hour or so. Rolling over like this is just the latest in a constant stream of embarrassment: stand your ground and simply state that the situation is what it is and sorry, but that’s how it has to be. AWMSC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capitanus Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Am i missing something here? Why are people being asked to enter via different turnstiles? why are Morton supporters being moved out the Sinclair Street End? How is Billy Dodds moans about our grim facilities for away teams affecting the former? *insert signature here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the gym, which has now been allocated as the ICT dressing room, is situated beside the Sinclair St turnstiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Same turnstiles that feed Sinclair St and Cowshed as always. The gym is to the right just as you go through the turnstiles, just before the steps up to the cowshed.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
