Doonhamers win Three in a row

The Doonhamers TA hit three in a row at the 2024 ATAC 7s (Sunday 4th August), that continues their 100% record in the competition since they joined ATAC in 2022. They won 6 games and drew 1 in another dominant performance. Hosts Carnoustie TA were runners up in an 8 team competition with newest ATAC members Sons of Scotland TA (SOSTA) 3rd. NETA, ETA, WESTA, WEBATA ad DTA were the other clubs that contributed to a great day. Massive thanks to Carnoustie TA and the Stags Head bar for their hospitality and another very successful day.

WEBATA successfully defended the walking football trophy with ETA second and WESTA 3rd.

Doonhamers on 3 wins are now closing in Perthshire TA with the most 7 wins since the competition was first played for in 2001.

Euro 2024 Ticket Sale Fiasco

Today should have been a day of celebration for the Tartan Army getting their hands on a ticket for the upcoming Euros.  The reality is that it has turned in to a shambles.  A quick and workable solution needs to be found to allow excited and the most loyal fans to secure their tickets for next summer.

We are extremely disappointed and concerned that there was no supporter consultation in advance of the ticket sale schedule and methodology. The opportunity was there. Additionally, we would have expected the SFA to have consulted with other participating nations in order to identify best practice. This was a serious failing.

After attending Fan Embassy workshops in Hamburg last weekend, ATAC got a flavour of what other countries do to sell their tickets and we have been in discussions with the SFA’s Scotland Supporters Club since the beginning of this week to highlight these.

Accountability for what caused this will come in due course, but the most important thing is to have this fixed and communicated as soon as possible.

Spain v Scotland

ATAC committee members met yesterday with the SSC Team, SLO & Security. One of the topics discussed was our upcoming trips to Spain & France

We are surprised to learn that the Spanish Police have designated our match there in the high risk category. Fans travelling to Spain should be aware that this may result in a more visible Police presence than we see at other away matches.

We know that a number of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 fans throughout the Tartan Army will have purchased home end tickets independently of the allocation we have received through the SSC.

Fans need to be mindful of the heightened security category, and what this may mean for accessing the home sections. This always carries a risk to gaining entry but may be more enforced for this fixture.
