But another "first" has just happened - 40 seats in lower T in the corner next to the Police control area have been released. It's the first time we've ever seen seats in that section opened up for sale to my knowledge. I have wondered about that this season. Why would they not allow fans there. I just thought no one wanted to sit there.🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t mean there are “many” as you suggested - that just means you know a few. Obviously out of the 19,000 Jambos there tomorrow you won’t have any more of a clue than I do how many are in the OO. As I suggested, you just made that up!

I didn’t say that, I was just picking up on your use of the word “many” which, although can mean different things to different people, I would suggest is misleading and a hell of a lot more than several people you might know. To some it could mean a majority or a large minority and I’m pretty sure it will be neither since it’s very much a minority pastime in this country.

Very accurate description. Yes we are chipping away at it but I can't see it being a full sell out. Ideally we could shift a wee bit more in lower G and lower H and then every section will either be full or almost full. Another positive is that loads of people are re-selling seats. This means that they are aware they can give tickets back to the club to sell again and also that means we are making more cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JALBO Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Today's teatime numbers: Main: 58 Gorgie: 4 Wheatfield: 48 Roseburn: 89 LEFT: 199 As as been commented on throughout the day, the club released front row H and J plus lower T seats en masse this morning, swifly followed by a large splattering of ones, twos, threes and fours round every corner of the ground - which appear to be season tickets that are being unused for Sunday's game. That took us back up to 280-ish at that point, and as sales have continued through the day quite a few additional seats have been appearing in various parts of the ground, mainly in 1s and 2s. FWIW, I reckon we've now had close to 19,000 seats made available for occupation for this match, plus whatever duplicate sales have been made for unused season tickets seats - for which there appear to have been many. How those are factored into the attendance is anyone's guess though. Edited December 10, 2021 by JALBO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
