Although we have had a number of hoops to go through, we are now in a position to confirm that our intention is to live stream the match back to GGL or KCS to be correct.
We aim to make advanced tickets available online tomorrow evening, and the pricing is:
£7.50 Adults
£5.00 12-16 yrs / Concessions
Children under 12 FREE when accompanied by an adult.
Prices on the day will be announced later in the week, subject to initial demand and space available.
More details tomorrow, but it would be good to gauge the interest as we have never done this before, so we have no idea what to expect.

That's a bit stiff for watching it on TV.

That's a bit stiff for watching it on TV. Then don’t pay it. As pay per views go this is not unreasonable. If the club have priced this wrong then there will be very little take up of this offer. If others believe it to be VFM then you’ll be in a small minority of moaning, miserable old gits. |

A bit of a strong response. I agree with Dave. Personally I’d offer this up for free and look to make a decent day of it at the club and £ at the bar. Completely understand there are associated costs but do they have to be viewed in an isolated way? Guess we’ll see what the take up is like.

I would just like to update you on this: Nothing including pricing has been cast in stone, if its felt £7.50 is too expensive we will reduce it 'say £5, kids go free with an adult? We want as many people to attend as possible, the funds are going towards your SUFCtv service. This is the 1st time we have ever attempted anything like this, so we are learning, and knowing the demand/price is something we would rather learn now and not next week  |

Like SUFCTV have said this is the first time they've tried this. Live streaming can be a technical nightmare and I'm sure they're doing this on the thinnest of shoestrings too.
Give them a break. Saying it's a bit stiff charging that amount to watch on TV actually helps no one. As Carl said "if you don't like it then don't come".

Considering
a/ sufctv is a volunteer service that goes out in all weathers to provide for those who can't travel
b/ provides excellent commentary including a professional broadcaster when available
C/ the cost of travelling to Airdrie is going to cost upwards of £150 unless you are prepared to spend almost a day out of a 40 hour period on a coach
I would say a nominal fee as advertised is pretty cheap to see this historic (for sufc anyway) fixture live. It is damn good value.
Hope it goes ok and attracts the support it deserves.

Will there be commentary on the game over the internet for this one ?

my 2ps worth is that £7.50 is a little steep. I might be tempted if I lived close to the ground but with £6 travel to and from, plus drinks I would give it a miss. If it was a nominal few quid or free I would consider travelling to GGL to watch it(50/50 at this stage) and would probably spend at least £12 on drinks so I guess swings and roundabouts.

I don't know other people's financial health (and I don't want to either) but bearing in mind the cheap season ticket offer the club has run for the last few seasons combined with the other points I raised earlier, the chance of watching an away match in Scotland for £25 (inc drink etc) seems a steal to me.
And before anyone asks, no, I won't be taking advantage - unless Easyjet mess up!!

Watching football with out a drink is possible  |

A lot of things are possible Stewart. I could walk a 6 hour round trip to GGL, drink tap water and thus spend nothing, but I aint gonna. If it was a few quid I'd be tempted, at £7.50 im not, there's not much more to add.

What's £7.50 in this day and age? A hipster pint in London.
