JamboFever Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Gorgie Suite package is now sold out. They are opening the Executive Lounge, same deal (£55 + VAT including buffet breakfast, return coach and some banter with Gary Naysmith and Ian Black (at a guess)). Just picked up a brace for me and my long-suffering cousin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I live on Universal Credit at the moment I am more than aware of hardship that others may have and I can't afford the best seats and will have do without some things to bear the cost.

If I had my way I would make life so much easier for football fans who really want to go to games but cannot afford it. Maybe when we get to the final we should have sections of the ground based on household affordability and fortune. I remember Wallace Mercer intoduced the UB40 scheme back in 82, I'm sure it was for the Motherwell game, it certainly boosted the crowd.

Remember this time last year the club wasn’t slow in announcing ticket sales so far I just had a quick look ... sales look impressive (in my opinion), assuming those shown as available / unavailable is accurate. I’d ‘estimate’ that sections available for sales represent perhaps 6,500 seats and I’d ‘estimate’ that 5,000 have been sold. NB not based on any counting at all!
