4th Stand and be counted

[BornCaley]

This has probably been answered elsewhere, but has the club an official position on our 4th Stand. I know there are some seats there at the moment, but please...its embarrasing..

What has the club to say on this?

Why waste money on a 4th stand when we get shocking crowds like we did on Saturday? There is no point in building a 4th stand at the minute. If anything, I'd prefer to see better North and South stands being built for the fans who already go. A stand alongside the A9 is a waste of time.

We struggle to fill 2 stands so can't see a 4th stand being built for a long time, if ever.

What would be "embarrasing" would be spending money building a stand that would sit empty!

football stadiums have 4 stands...regardless of the crowds that fill it.

Falkirk don't either.

The only reason to build a fourth stand would be if it generated money from non-football events.

It's shocking to see how empty TCS is so early in the season.

With six St Mirren fans by the look of it.

Comments like that will have you head-hunted by the SPL to work on the committee that decide membership criteria - that sounds like the sort of thing they would come up with!

lets face it,prices are shocking, my mate who came on sat had to pay 15 quid 2 get into the north stand and he is 16, it should be about 5 pound, personally i would prefer a full (er) stadium ....

If your mate is 16 and still in full time education, he could have bought a junior family ticket for ?7, provided he bought it from the ticket office before the match. Given the number of empty seats, he could then have sat anywhere in the north stand there was space - this is one thing the stewards rarely seem to enforce, although you wouldn't get away with it at a busy (OF or Aberdeen) game.

football tickets in general are expensive 1 adult and 2 students are ?50!

This is true, unfortunately the removal of terracing put paid to cheap football at ICT, when we got into the SPL. I personally, would have it back in a flash. Atmosphere was always better in the terraces.

the one positive aspect of ict being relegated is that we could get the terracing back.

I was part of the last group of fans to stand in the terracing!

In the current economic climatye there's no point at all in spending money on another stand that might sit empty even for Old Firm matches.

EWS-my ID is BornCaley...do the math

and to the others naysayers....i dont care that other teams ( i.e Falkirk) have only 3 stands.......my post isnt saying we NEED a 4th stand, its just how a stadium should be...We should have stayed at Telford Street then.....besides i wanted to know if the club had a position on this...Nuff said
