    No real incentive (if you need 1, I do) to buy a season ticket......what with zero guarantee of getting in and having to play 3rd fiddle to foundation and hospitality gang and my internet being slower a learner driver it's no looking good to see the matches.

    Giving priority to foundation members over season ticket holders for the West Ham game could come back and bite them I reckon.

    I don't need justification to buy a season ticket, I'm stupid enough just to go and get one every season. Think I might change my name and age for next season though and go for an OAP version.

    I've been told this was all John Nelms idea and not the foundation guys but surely the foundation guys have to go along with it or does John Nelms now run the foundation.

    I'll say again I like the simplicity of the foundation but not when it puts it's members in a priveledged posistion over season tic holders.

    All wrong and it's all wrong if John Nelms aka Linda Blair is making these decisions.

    Will 100% have been JN's call.

    Very poor of the people running the foundation not kicking back and saying to him that season ticket holders should get priority for tickets. Actually, thinking about it, seriously poor of Nelms even mooting the idea.

    Interesting thing going on at Patrick, to increase their crowds…

    In my opinion John Nelms should be making a statement explaining why the Club have not tried to increase the number of spectators permitted to attend home games at Dens Park from 500. He should also be explaining why only 1893 Foundation members are permitted to apply for a ticket for the West Ham pre season friendly.

    Looks as though Partick are trying to find a way to work within the guidelines to boost their potential numbers who can get into their ground.

    I don't know where the idea that John Nelms is solely responsible for the decision to give 1893 subscribers first refusal for West Ham tickets comes from. I think it was a misguided decision for many of the reasons given by Rross but I would be surprised if the idea was entirely down to John Nelms.

    I personally spoke with one of the founder members, he told me it was John Nelms suggestion, I have no doubt to believe him, he isn’t going to the fame himself
