Tickets on sale now.
Given the length of online queue, we must have shifted a fair number already.

It feels like, for me at least, that our season ended ages ago and yet now we have to get up and ready for these two huge games. Hopefully the management team have used these weeks to get the players primed to peak just at the right time. I thought the grass looked at bit long at Firhill and wonder if that was done on purpose to make it harder for Airdrie's free passing football to be effective. While we aren't as fluent as Airdrie I suspect the Firhill groundsman won't be getting out the lawnmower too much over the weekend. As for how we'll line up I haven't the foggiest. Not even sure who'll be available. Has Corr recovered and if he has will Murray give him the nod in a game that matters? Is Keith Watson fit? Will McGill get in ahead of the dependable if unspectacular Liam Dick? Turner, Easton or Byrne along side Stanton and maybe Brown or Matthews? A lot of decisions to be made.
I'd probably take a draw from this match which would set us up for a titanic clash on Friday.

It will be good to watch a live game and be spared Michael Stewart deliver a treatise in the sartorial elegance of Ian Murray any time he is focused on by a camera.

Absolutely exhausted after watching that ding dong of a game at Partick last night.
Jeezy peeps, that was an intense performance from both teams and how they kept up that tempo is testament to how fit and motivated each team was.

Makes me question whether our team are gonna be able to cope with Partick.

Their players certainly ran themselves into the ground and We can only hope that the rovers can get the tempo that high to match them.

I certainly am not particularly confident for Tuesday, methinks we are gonna have to hang on in there and hope we can turn them over at the San Starko.

Big Graham was magnificent over both legs…….36 years young but with the work rate of teenager on speed!!!! Very Happy

Gonna watch the match on Tuesday before we depart for Tenerife aT 03.30
Wed early doors and have to catch the second leg from a bar or somewhere on Friday….

COYR COYR COYR.

Just purchased my tickets. Why are Thistle selling tickets £2 cheaper than us, when our price was set by the SPFL as minimum pricing?

Different ticket pricing. Is it that the SPFL put a premium on the second leg, usually the defining leg ?

Castle · Joined: 24 Jul 2010 Posts: 4940

Nope it's because the spfl set the minimum ticket price not the maximum. At least according to the statement put out when the tickets went on sale. Or perhaps the spfl state that you have to set the price at the same price as you demanded from other premium matches during the league campaign? So for Thistle that was maybe only 22 quid but for us it was 24.

Ok, Castle, thanks.
Unless we fall to a very heavy defeat in the away leg, this will be our most important game in a long time. It also has the potential to be the most thrilling. In that context, £24 does not seem unreasonable.

Upon checking my away match tickets, appears I have purchased them for the home end!!!!!! I've e mailed the ticket company and left a voicemail with thistle asking them to change them. No idea how I failed in this simple task.

Pressure will be on PT to get something at home so we need to be smart and hit them on the break and keep it tight at the back then skelp them at San Starko and please, not Brown at CB, please!

First game of the season. Late goal after good work by Ethan Ross pulling the ball back to Kieran Mitchell to equalise. Whatever happened to those two? Very Happy

Does anyone know if Raith TV are showing the game abroad? My boy desperate to watch the game but will be doing so on a portable device at work in Australia. he's got Raith TV on it but previously has not managed to get the BBC broadcasts when they have been on. I couldn't get them either when I was out there visiting recently.
