we will need everyone on board this coming season

My apologies if I have misunderstood your comment. Completely agree with you the most important thing is to hope for a decent appointment as manager and that he brings in some decent players. I do think having at least one PATG turnstile for each stand would help.

You did but no problem. The main thing the club needs to review is the patg pricing structure as we're going to be hated if £26 is ever charged, never mind £30. If United stay down, then £30 for their glory-hunters is fine but if it's St Mirren/Partick, making them Cat A or Premium is going to be an embarrassment. I can't see a pay gate at the derry, unless the club grow a pair. If the club do mobile ticketing, they shouldn't really need pay gates.

Eh? I was 'teasing' about a poster's constant back-flipping on here, never mentioned the poster or what the back-flipping was about. What the club needs is a decent appointment and some decent players to win the fans back, everything else is only more important to the agitators

Correct...win football matches more people will come

I would be very surprised if the club had category A and B games next season. They might try to charge a Premium price for home games against the Dabs if they are also playing in the Championship next season but they might lose out big time as the derby matches are likely to be televised live on BBC Scotland.

That pricing structure is currently in place which I hope will be reviewed. This would mean Nelms understanding why it's ridiculous to have bandings in the 2nd-tier so I'm not confident. Can't see many fans preferring tv to a Friday night derby if the price is right. If it's £30, crowd about 6k probably

How much to people want to watch Local Derbies. Hearts v Hibs, Ross County v ICT, etc. I'm not convinced that anyone other than a supporter is interested in these games. Seems to me that we need to work on trying to sell out these games, whenever they occur. The supports are not as strong as they were so I think keen pricing rather than premium pricing might be the order of the day to try to sell out the ground.

There is no rationale for charging anyone in the fizzy any more than anyone else, other than making derbies Cat A which I think is reasonable. Doubt the club will announce anything before end of July.

You know the answer.
Send an email to the club expressing your concerns about the pricing for ticket prices next season.
I had the choice of paying £30 to attend a home game against the Dabs or watch it on the new BBC Scotland channel it would be a ‘no brainer’ for me. I would watch the game on TV in the comfort of my own home.

You've said that 5 times already, give it a rest, at least till the categories have been announced jeezo

4 derbies now. Didn't want to jinx it by speculating for the coming season. Best 4 missed penalties I have ever listened to.

No problem, John, you know it makes sense
