Good man. After all, they might have missed it. We need more caring people like you in the world biffer.

Edit: an after thought, you did remember to tell them that we’ll let them stay up late on Friday given it’s a special occasion didn’t you :?

I phoned to get reserved tickets in a different section to my reserved STs as more of us are sitting together, but was offered the option of just turning up and taking unreserved seats (suggesting that's an option on sale).

So if the unreserved sales don't show up on the site, difficult to draw conclusions.

East Stand capacity is 10,700, pitchside standing and corporate West Stand maybe another 700?

Agree I would be very disappointed if we didn't get 10,000. It's the big boys cup, we have a higher ST base this season, U16s go free, the Weegies are playing away so expect a good number of Warriors through to see if Cockers can get them through to the QFs ;-) After all, this is our biggest game in at least 7 years, with pretty big implications for the Warriors too...


I managed to do this, move reserved seats. Maybe they just didn't have enough available in the sections opened up at the time. That was the case for me over the xmas period, but was fine once they opened up a new section. I would try again.

Just no sense of humour out west. Hopefully even less at seasons end?

Biffer? Winding up the unwashed? Surely not...

That forum hits new levels of outrage and paranoia every week. Shame, plenty sensible folk on there.

A quick glance on the ticket website suggested 8000 or just over sold.
Don't mention Rory Hutton. I did once but I think I got away with it.

If that 8000 sticks, I'd suggest it’s a good result for a Friday evening with very few travelling support.

That’s excellent if it’s right with walk-ups to add still. Could have been 20k if Cockers hadn’t p*ssed off the Warrior Nation with his “little brother” line :lol:

Sorry Sammy, I wasn’t very clear - I did get reserved seats, thanks though! In Section 16, which confusingly someone else was told would be unreserved. That’ll work well...

If they want to throw their toys out the cot. Remember that was the team who played ‘here comes the girls’ at an 1872 game

I remember that at Firhill. That was properly funny. I miss all that kind of stuff and it's pretty sad that in the view of a handful of fans (and thankfully it genuinely is just a handful), "the banter" is only allowed to travel East!
