joewarkfanclub Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Good video. Maybe a bit OTT for a cup quarter final. But given the drive the Society have been on to try and increase the attendance, it cant do any harm. Not sure it will work with the game being live on tv but the naysayers cant complain about effort or intent. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchfindergeneral Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 Can't make it to this one as I am off to a wedding in East Lothian. Would love to see us have a go from the start and not in the last 10 mins of the 2nd half. A lot of questions over who starts etc but can't see Kettlewell tinkering much, if at all. Personally I'd go for the below. Hopefully ApStam makes the bench Hegyi SOD Balmer Gordon Casey Wilson Halliday Miller Sparrow (or Jair or Tawanda) Vale Moses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not done anything spectacularly wrong to deserve it (granted, I've not seen anything from Saturday). Unless it's rotational/give Heygi a shot in the cups? I'd also prefer Davor over Halliday, but I love the wee man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again not bothered if it's Davor or Halliday starting, just not both at the same time. McGinn probably won't be dropped, which is fine, but if that's the case then Kaleta should be in over SOD.

wunderwell Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 This game is a problem. Plan A doesn't work. Plan B has proven last season and this season has worked for the last 30 mins of football games. Could the support accept watching Plan B from the start of the game? I'm bored a lot of the games watching the same old. If you play Plan B you could see us win 5-0 against Ross County and lose 5-0 to Dundee as an example. But let's dig a bit deeper. If you play with more strikers you pen people in at the back and this is why this crazy 5-1-4 you see at the end of games tends to work, as they have to subsequently keep more players back. Continuing with the 5 at the back defends breakaways. It becomes really really open in the midfield obviously. I'd love to see it but expect the same old against United with simply a few changes to the players. What's the thoughts of the forum, love to see it or simply nonsense?

weeyin Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 I'm hoping Zach Robinson is inspired to score against his old Dundee rivals. I'm not unhappy with his contributions, but I think a goal or two will raise his levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im skint so if I had a tv I'd probably watch it there - but I don't. For me any games I get to over and above my season ticket is a bonus but I will try and go on Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what happens when TV dictates what games go live. Why can’t they show a live midweek game from Dingwall ? However, as they say “It will be all right on the night “ Let’s hope so.

If I get along it'll be a game time (probably within an hour of kick off) decision for a variety of reasons, so hopefully there's more folk in that boat, too.

I had heard we had sold 5500 home tickets I hope you are right, but find it hard to believe - even we - would advertise seats as available when they are not. Would lead to absolute carnage at the games. One of my biggest concerns abut the club is how stubborn our crowd numbers are to shift. We rarely rise above 4500 or below 3500 home fans whereas a few clubs seem to see bigger swings in the good times. I do think its crazy that fans cant just rock up on the day of most league games and have to go to the ticket office beforehand. No other business would make it so difficult for fans to part with their money. If anyone is on the Well Society board or knows someone who is can they ask why the club just cant have a QR code on the wall beside the turnstiles where folk scan the code get their ticket and get in (I do accept not everyone has a mobile phone but even in these days that must be less than 1% of the population).

Total sales sitting above 6k as of this morning. Interestingly, data shows that the vast majority of our fans purchase within 48 hours of the match, no doubt payday will be a factor like you said. Here's hoping we can add a good few more on to that total before kick-off on Friday. A huge thank you to every member of the Society who has volunteered to get the word out there and raise the profile of the match and the Society. Initiatives like such take time to build and growth doesn't always come overnight but developing connections in our community and regularly having a visible presence in the town and surrounding areas is key to getting results off the park. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got me intrigued so i had to check out my seat. It is greyed out so fine, but what I did find when I started a fresh purchase was that not all seats shown in blue offer a seat number when hovered over. Some do but most don't. So I guess that despite the 'blue' coding on most, they possibly have been purchased but did not turn grey when sold. Certainly is confusing though.
