I do think that this is a factor in dropping home attendances at the OF games personally. Whatever happened it seemed a bit heavy handed as there were 2 stewards and 2 polis talking to the guy whilst 2 another 2 stewards and 2 police watched on from the walkway.

Well said DD!

They thought he was a Celtic fan. He appeared to show them a st book tho. Dont know anymore than that.

Quite happy to slag them off at every opportunity!

That news made me feel a bit better anyway. Crikey that's a poor support!

Interestingly the statement on the official site quotes everyman and his dog but offers not clue to how the powers at ICT feel about this.

Livi @ 2.62 please

It's all sevcos fault as the Dees have their fixtures!

My money would be on Pat Fenlon for football reasons.

Think this could drop the gate numbers as well but we shall see.

I already queried that in a post as I couldnt remember him being booked previously. Really not sure where this has come from. Maybe mistaken identity? Confused also...

I actually thought you were going to explode when pepper scored lol That's why I still have a headache. Aye thats it!

It's Sunday and yes it's because Motherwell are playing on the Thursday night I believe.

Just seen the post match interviews with Conor Pepper and Billy Mackay. Good stuff being produced for YouTube by our media team. Special mention to Davie for the good interviews this week and last. Very professional.

Still can't stop smiling. Tynecastle is probably my favourite away venue and what our team did yesterday was amazing. This team has loads of guts and has the "togetherness" factor. Not a large support travelled but those that did supported their socks off and theplayers obviously appreciated it.The celebrations at the end reminded me of our 1st division season with terry leading from the pitch.The players worked so hard and got a deserved point which actually felt like a win. The ref had a 'mare day and actually lost control for periods. Both pens were not pens but I think ours was to even things up tbh. From our seats Forans challenge didn't look like a red but on seeing the tv footage then I think it was deserved. Unless I missed it I don't remember him being booked earlier as another poster mentioned? He seemed really fired up yesterday before the sending off. He had thrown the ball away twice and was absolutely screaming at the ref when hearts got their pen. No one could accuse him of not caring about our team IMO and actually it seemed he was too fired up having been out for the previous two games. He made a mistake so not a hanging offence for me. Quite happy with our progress so far. Bring on Celtic.

I'm more concerned at no OTJ or Foran next week against Celtic!

There wasn't a dull moment yesterday that's for sure!

Tempting Gringo but no I will have Dunfermline to win at 2.00 please

As you say reason is lack of bodies. I sold inside once but hardly sold any!

If you check out the travel thread there's a hospitality offer as well!

I would nt like to be you when he sees this lol!!!

Norma ifs funny how we remember the good times but forget the bad. If you remember back it was a real struggle the first few months we were in the 1st division and it only became "fun" after christmas when we went on our unbeaten run especially away from home. I remember being at Firhill in Dec and we lost, you couldnt see the pitch for fog and Ive never been so cold in my life! it certainly wasnt fun that day.

With respect OCG this is not so. If you re-read my post you will notice I said "our team played a fabulous opening 20 minutes and showed some urgency after the break." and "penalty (brilliantly saved by Ryan)" and "some of our new guys look promising". This team will come good in time - but we have to acknowledge that the disciplinary record over the last year (especially at home) has cost us dear in terms of results. My second point (as above) was about doing something about discipline. My first point is that - while there are many positives about our club's treatment of supporters - there are still some niggles that need to be addressed when it comes to relations with supporters. Making it easier for a man and a boy to get through the Main Stand turnstiles when paying cash was a problem on Saturday. It needs fixed. But one of the other major niggles has been stewarding. As mentioned by someone else on another post, I also saw the stewards being OTT on Saturday in the way they dispossessed a harmless looking older lady of a small juice bottle as if she was about to cause mayhem, bloodshed and carnage in the North Stand. Yeah, I know 'rules are rules' but this was a harsh application of the rules. I well recall the last time we had really good atmosphere at a home match - versus Dunfermline some seasons ago. A good sized group of fans had gathered on the uncovered section of the Main Stand. They were fantastic - great singing, good natured banter and really getting behind the team. But they were standing, so the men in yellow weighed in heavy-handedly, ejected poor old Immortal Howdenender and snuffed out the atmosphere. Meanwhile, ever since then, away fans can stand and do whatever they like and are left alone by the stewards. I have faithfully followed ICT for many seasons and if you check my earlier posts you will see that I have always endeavoured to be positive. But the reason I have made my original comments on this post is in the hope that maybe someone in a position of influence in our club might read what I have written and take note of what an ordinary supporter has to say. Maybe its a vain hope - but you never know. My main concern is that we get the missing fans back at the stadium supporting their team and helping with the club's finances. What can be more positive than that? Apologies A96 prehaps on retrospect I was a little harsh. As a mum who takes her kids to games I know how expensive it is and as for stewarding well dont get me started!!!! I like the start of the season personally. I like the optomistic feeling it has but reality soon sets in. It just seems that a lot of folk are being negitive at the moment sometimes about things that cant be sorted. However it would be a boring old world if we all stuck to the party line so all opinions should be welcome. I dont know what the answer is to getting the missing fams back. It seems to me that the club is working hard for the fans at this time and the only way I can see that we would be able to employ more staff/players is to get more money in. The problem is that theres not a lot of money about. As for customer service well I think the club probably does its best given the resources it has. If more people could maybe volunteer to help then maybe things would get better. if you have specific ideas for instance re the turnstiles why not contact the club and discuss them. I am certain you would get a hearing.
