sbcmfc Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 That's all very well and good... If you're a home fan. Very true! I wouldn't grudge folk bringing a mate with the voucher, especially if it's someone who wouldn't or couldn't otherwise go, but might come along for free. I'll offer my voucher to a couple of non Motherwell supporting mates. I'd also completely understand any utd fan who can't come or doesn't want to come to rearranged game, and would rather have their £23 back. Unfortunately MFC have to rely on honesty from the rest I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoza Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Blame can certainly not be attached to Motherwell FC if Scottish Power have powered down the grid, but surely to fuck Motherwell should have known about the potential for it to happen? If not, then Scottish Power should be reimbursing MFC for the inconvenience. MJC is right about one thing though, Fir Park is a shit hole and sooner rather than later the POD and East stands won't have a safety certificate in place leaving only the Cooper and South Stands open. That's unless MFC spend millions of £££ redeveloping the two of them of course... The College is just three years old and it had no power either on Saturday.

coldonmac Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 The best bit for me was the fact that as the smoke started billowing across the field, the announcement over the PA was to remind fans that no smoking is allowed within Fir Park. Perfect timing .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 i'd just send united the money we took off their fans at the turnstyle and tell them to sort it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Diggle Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Rescheduled for Wednesday November 7 at 7.45pm. I tried to mail the club there just for a wee bit of clarification, but the mail bounced. I'm guessing because I use gmail. Anyway, I read the article on the club website on the rearranged game and it says. . . . . "Please note that entry for this game will be by Match Abandoned Voucher only, pay at the turnstiles or by tickets purchased at the ticket office." Doesn't mention season tickets holders who were advised NOT to collect a match abandoned voucher. I know it'll just be a minor oversight, but with mfc . . . . . . .

I know it'll just be a minor oversight, but with mfc . . . . . . . Were they? I honestly never heard an announcement saying season ticket holders should not pick one up. Maybe I wasn't listening, or maybe the tannoy was just shite when that part went out, but the only thing I remember hearing was all spectators should collect a match abandoned voucher at the exit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Had an argument with a steward who refused me vouchers as I told him I had season tickets, and the other senior steward shouted over that it was only those who paid in who were to get them, the PA hadn't mentioned any groups in specific, it was no time to discuss it with a 1000 ish folk surging thru the tunnel behind us, So was disappointed that yet another MFC announcement in the website yet again doesn't clarify it Guess Wendy's time will just get wasted answering individual queries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it was mentioned earlier in the thread as well. So yeah, they were. Quite clearly, multiple times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirkySuperSub Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I use Gmail as well and I've never had any problems when I've ever had to contact the club SD. Maybe they've got your email address on the block list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Season ticket holders will get in, probably user a special voucher in the back of the book, don't panic, the comms might not be great but there will not be an issue on the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myteam Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 on my way out of the east stand, the steward told me that it would be a special voucher in the season ticket book i would be using. better be right eh!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmostFrazzled Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 When I was heading out the Cooper stand they told me I only needed a voucher if I had paid in, and that season ticket holders would use a voucher from their tickets.

'Wellfan 2k7 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Would it matter? If you have your book, then that's evidence enough that you are entitled to entry. Too much fuss over nothing on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Could someone who doesn't have gmail check with the club please? As per the web page and the PA announcement, everyone will need a match abandoned voucher, or a newly purchased single match ticket or PATG, I have been offered a ticket as they are aware some stewards issued the wrong info, particularly the pair of numpties in the Cooper who refused me and many other season ticket holders, vouchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_P Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Same goes for the East Stand. The message was pretty clear that only non-season ticket holders should take vouchers so I expect there will be quite a number of unhappy campers over here too. I believe many will have looked to the re-arranged Hibs game only a few months ago and considered that the arrangements put in place would be the basis of what would happen this time. This appeared to be immediately re-inforced by the message given by stewards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fal_Dosser Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Checked the web site again, and it does indeed suggest that entry will be via the voucher, but I can't believe for a minute that the club won't clarify this and season ticket holders will use a voucher in their books. I was amongst the first group to leave the East and even at that stage the stewards were saying that season ticket holders did not need a voucher for the rearraged game. As it turns out, I'll be away on the 7th, but I certainly wouldn't be chuffed if I was told I needed to pay. MON RA DOSSERS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MON RA DOSSERS They have clarified it in an email in response to my query, I can't quote it on my phone but it was quite clear I will need a single match ticket issued as I don't have a voucher It's possible they do not appreciate just how many season ticket holders were refused vouchers or indeed just told they didn't need them but unless ST holders query in advance it could lead to one all mighty SNAFU at the turnstyles, if enough query it they may realise the scale of the problem and act if required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaag Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Club's gonna make a tidy wee profit on this - should make up for the shortfall caused by the 1 dundee utd fan that had 15 abandoned match vouchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
