vikingTON Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Palpable enthusiasm for this one. I think the club have missed a trick by insisting on the usual £21 entry. It's a dead rubber in any serious competitive sense and the final home game of the season: the ST money is already accounted for. Why not set prices at a tenner for adults - free for under 16s - to try to entice folk to get out the house and watch a game of football? And instead of just announcing the change online and using the Tele's unreliable coverage of local events to spread the news, just fire out 6,000 vouchers and hand them out in schools, through New Scots services too. Who knows - they might just enjoy their experience and want to come back again. For the cost of a couple of hundred walk-ups and extra marketing expenses, I really don't understand why the club doesn't make some effort to turn an otherwise low-key send-off to the campaign into an opportunity. 1 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.

Cet Homme Charmant Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Attendance looks around about 1500, which is probably what you would reasonably expect for a relatively meaningless end-of-season game. Cutting the admission to a tenner may have added a few hundred, so might have been worth a try. EDIT to add: Turns out it was over 2000 which is pretty decent.

Pedrodelawasp Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Broadfoot left one on Rudden there. Had to be held back afterwards. Seems raging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Our season in a nutshell today. Played pretty well, created the better chances (without a draw actually being unfair though) but didn't have the cutting edge to get us over the line. Difficult to judge too much given the lowered stakes involved but I thought the defence did well throughout. With Ayr and Dunfermline playing each other the lowest we can now finish is 6th, but any sort of last minute, heartbreaking goal to consign Inverness and their assorted pellets (Gardiner; Ferguson) to the play-offs and relegation would be a lovely send-off. In the big picture we've had a decent season - excellent in cup competitions, both financially and in performance terms. Given the losses to the first team last summer I'm not surprised we had to just consolidate our position in the end - I'd have expected that before a ball was kicked. But with both Airdrie and Partick sitting on entirely achievable points totals, the lost opportunity can't be overlooked either. Losing fully half of our home league games is ultimately what has cost us - each of those lost was effectively a six-point swing to another team in the division. 2 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.

LargsTON Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Notable just about every player ran straight up the tunnel at FT bar one or two, also quite telling Gillespie took his time to leave the field after being one of only 3 or 4 to acknowledge the support. Maybe I'm reading too much into but a larger clear out than expected may be on the cards?

Maybe they forgot, but someone should’ve been telling them to head back out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 About half the home fans left either before or just after the final whistle, so I really wouldn't be ripping my knitting about the disrespect shown by players who didn't hang around too long either. 2 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.

gmfc23 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Doesn't matter how many fans are left at full time. It's the last home game of the season and the fans that stayed to applaud the players for they're efforts this season deserve a much better response than they got today. If players are leaving by choice or told there contracts won't be renewed it's still just a bit of decency to come over and thank the supporters who've generally been behind them all season. To the players that didn't bother there arses today and are leaving don't let the door hit your arse on the way out you won't be missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barely anyone around me left before the final whistle and nobody is "ripping their knitting" anywhere. As the poster above says its just basic manners to return the applause to people who have paid their hard earned money over the season.

I was behind the goal in the second half and could clearly see half the Cowshed filtering towards the exits before and immediately at the end of the game. Just as they would have done in any other home game. That's not a criticism - I left after a brief applause when Imrie came over too. The idea that professional players should be required to show some extra reverence than the fans themselves at the end of a nothing game like today's is not for me. They don't owe us anything - they get paid a wage and are expected to do a job on that basis.

Popular Post gmfc23 Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 As much as I understand your point it's not just any other game though is it. It's the last home game of the season and for as long as I can remember the players come over at the end of a long hard season no matter even if we've been relegated maybe baring 13/14 but even then more players came over to the fans after the last home game. Regardless of individual opinion it's just not acceptable to fk off up the tunnel after the last home game of the season especially not when the guys who are applauding you have in our case been paying your wages. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
