Malky79 Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Our wee section of the East looked busier than usual but the Main stand and Cooper look no busier or if anything quieter, with a poor away support crowd figure looks about right give or take a few.

Aye, I'd agree with that - although our usual bit in the East looked even emptier than normal, at least in front of us. As I said earlier - about 50% of our usual group don't have season tickets, so they just got in free. I would imagine it would be the same for plenty of people.

eaststandfan Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 I wish will we would stop giving away free tickets as we never play well which wont help people to come back. Can anyone tell me how many games we have won when we gave away free ticket I think it might be about 2 in the last 2 seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that section F near the half way line, quite near the front was she ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Is that section F near the half way line, quite near the front was she ? Your thinking about Maggie. My season ticket seat was right next to her for a couple of years when I was younger. It was fucking terrible. The "F" is the 4th section in the East, not the 2nd.

It was fucking terrible. The "F" is the 4th section in the East, not the 2nd. Mine too. We moved in the end cos we were having barney's with her more and more frequently. One that sticks in mind was a game where she was giving Nijholt pelters - except he was out injured and wasn't even in the squad that day.

Neil Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Aye thanks to the wee wumman who gave me her voucher just as I whipped out a twenty at the gate The steward actually tried to deny me saying she couldn't give it to strangers . Think she replied something like 'He lives doon the road fae me - I have known him all his life!' Never seen her before in ma puff but thanks alot!!! Don't think the 'scheme' worked then Similar situation happened when I was heading in, only this time the stewards were openly asking for a voucher for some old guy who was about to fork out to get in. Gave him my voucher, the only stipulation being we went in the same gate. Like to feel I saved the old guy some pension money, not having to pay to watch the garbage that turned out on the pitch.

Brazilian Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 Well played Neil, and the others, Your thinking about Maggie. My season ticket seat was right next to her for a couple of years when I was younger. It was fucking terrible. The "F" is the 4th section in the East, not the 2nd. Think we may have stumbled on the reason for the downturn in attendances I used to sit a couple rows behind her in section F, E92, forgot how bad it was until Llanelli when we were not far from her, A loyal fan she certainly is but how many has she turned away from that area her boy mustve sufferered from severe ear damage over the years always seemed a decent lad mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rinkydink Posted April 6, 2010 Report Share Posted April 6, 2010 Mine too. We moved in the end cos we were having barney's with her more and more frequently. One that sticks in mind was a game where she was giving Nijholt pelters - except he was out injured and wasn't even in the squad that day. She must have hated Luc - I mind him winning a crucial tackle on the East Stand side one day as a team broke from a Motherwell corner...only for her to explode and give him pelters for being out of position. She was known as Mrs BMX socks in my days in the East Stand as she regularly sported a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My ears seem to be OK (my dad's aren't ) and I am now in the process of deafening no.1 son (with my volume rather than hers). I didn't make Saturday's game, nor the previous week's game, so apologies for jinxing our decent run. I don't make as many games as "Mrs Falkirk", but there will be few who do. She is pretty much there every week, and her heart is in the right place, even if it seems otherwise sometimes. A bit like us all I guess. As far as the Nijholt abuse goes, I don't remember her being anti-Luc at all, but my ears might not be that good after all . Oh, and as for mistaking players on the pitch - hands up who has NEVER done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
