Harmonica Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Sure it's around this time every year..And the year they got relegated they were up in arms at being charged SPL season ticket prices and then ended up getting 1st division games ...

Locky Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Pretty sure they did the same last year. Interesting I guess, but perhaps makes sense. Depending on how many they shift, might influence how much Wee Lee gets to spend in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought Police Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 As others have said, they're striking while on the up and can sniff European football. If they wait until after their next three games (Livi, Rangers, Celtic) then there may be a bit less interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattyK82 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 May as well strike while the iron is hot. Their fans seem to have forgiven and forgotten how bad they were/are and how much they wanted streaky lee oot. The club know the wee streak could end at any moment (with Livi away, Rangers at home and Celtic away coming up, they’ll be desperate for fast sales over the next week or two). Seriously though - this has to be some kind of record - they must be needing 💴 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't heard it, other than speculation, but it makes sense. They got rid of a few in January and didn't do much incoming business. We know that the club's being run by the CEO and Ron's lad while he recuperates, and the January window combined with STs going on sale this early would suggest a degree of financial hardship that wasn't there when Ron was in good health. It's supposition, but that's why I said I think 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they release them well before people expect. Not February tho. I would agree that's not a good sign.

They’re 5 points behind us but equally they’re (after their UPturn) only 5 points above 7th with three of the most difficult fixtures anyone in this league faces coming up. With St Johnstone (h), Celtic (a) and Aberdeen (a) as ours, I’d hope (before Sunday I’d have said expect) to be more than 5 ahead come mid-March.
