Falkirk game - Non ST renewers - HibeesBounce.com

***wee 162*** · 18-07-08, 00:06

This is just a quick idea, feel free to shoot me down in flames if you see something wrong with it.

I've not renewed my ST because the amount invested in the team is not matching the amount I expect, particularly considering how much it is currently costing to get into ER. However, I'll still be going to the games because that's what I do. So basically it's a complete token protest from me. I would quite like the club to know that I'm pissed off though, and I was wondering how many others would also like to do so.

So I have a cunning plan

The price for getting into the Falkirk game is going to be £22 I'd imagine. There's around 30% of that money which is going onto the park. I would quite like it to be noticed by the clubs custodians that I've noticed this. So my plan is nipping into a bank on the Friday and changing £7 into pennies and using that plus £15 to get into the game. That £7 in pennies represents about 30% of the entrance fee which is about how much will be getting spent on the park. If we're going to pay pennies when there are pounds available, the club will get pennies from me from now on.

I'll keep it in bags of £1 each which will be how I get it from the bank, no up to me if they want to count each bag...

They can maybe borrow Rod Petrie's scales.

I think it is a good original idea, if there were a number of people doing it, it would be an effective protest.

Went through the nae season ticket gig some seasons back and just cost me mare dough over the year and nae chance of a Hertz (spit) ticket. Even made it worse when I realized that fuck all goes fae the season ticket sales tae buying new gash. I rest my case young man. See ye in the Iona.

***Smurf*** · 18-07-08, 08:03

Why not pay for the actual season ticket this way?

A better protest IMHO.

Because I'm not buying a ST. And I'd like to make it pretty clear the reasons why.

I'm also interested in how easy you think it is going to be to lug £345 in pennies about

I think there's a law which says the folk you are paying only have to accept a maximum of a dozen coins, or something like that, not that the person on the turnstile is likely to know! And as you're likely to cause a holdup I think the police might take an interest in your protest and move you on!!

Really. I'd be interested to know where this law sits in the statute books...

So if a ticket costs £13 and someone, or a lot of someones, come along with 13 £1 coins, Hibs can KB them?

its all legal tender so there can be no reason for anyone to knock it back.

***Weehibbydrew*** · 18-07-08, 12:31

Wouldn't you just be hurting, though, the poor sods who toil in the ticket office, probably for minimum wage? Would Petrie and Farmer care a jot for their discomfort? Considering Petrie would walk a mile in tight shoes just to pick up a 20p piece, I doubt it.

***Dub*** · 18-07-08, 12:34

Sounds like a reasonable plan although I would tend to agree with alangordon [words i never thought I would say] that the protest might be better served by buying your ticket at the ticket office. I'm sure the bloke/girl at the turnstile would turn you away because they would be under pressure to ensure that the money they took in was correct and therefore would need to count every bag. If they didnt and you or someone else underpaid they would either lose their jobs or the underpayment would come out their wages and I'm sure you wouldnt want that Al.

Legal Tender Guidelines

Legal tender has a very narrow and technical meaning in the settlement of debts. It means that a debtor cannot successfully be sued for non-payment if he pays into court in legal tender. It does not mean that any ordinary transaction has to take place in legal tender or only within the amount denominated by the legislation. Both parties are free to agree to accept any form of payment whether legal tender or otherwise according to their wishes. In order to comply with the very strict rules governing an actual legal tender it is necessary, for example, actually to offer the exact amount due because no change can be demanded.

The amounts for legal tender are stated below.

BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES:

In England and Wales the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes are legal tender for payment of any amount. However, they are not legal tender in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

COINS:

Coins are legal tender throughout the United Kingdom for the following amount:

£5 (Crown) - for any amount

£2 - for any amount
