thewhiteman Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) good luck, hopefully to become a permanent feature, improve the atmosphere and encourage more involvement from the wider support The stadium does have the potential to have a good atmosphere if everyone gets involved I'll be sitting opposite the chosen area with friends who don't normally attend the games so will post some pics after the game Edited October 6, 2014 by thewhiteman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiteman Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 would also agree with focusing on singing saints songs and supporting our team rather than goading or trying to abuse the opposition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopCat Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Sounds like a great idea, best of luck with it! Hopefully with this we can then SMP into somewhere nice for our players to play and somewhere that opposition teams don't like coming to. I fear it's became the opposite in recent times.

barney Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 there could be a case for the ground to be split into sections. family stand - keep as is. singing section - let the masses sing! oap section - some nice comfy seats for the auld yins. A small electric current can be passed through the seats to make sure they're awake every 10 mins. They will need a larger number of toilets than the rest of the ground. Travel rugs can be hired. moaning section - keep everyone who plan to moan in here. if budget allows then we could have a sound proof screen between the moaning section and the seats next to them. If the game isn't going well, punters can pay an extra fiver to get into the moaning section so they can let rip. fighting section - charge more for this as we will need some to pay extra for police / stewarding / pr company to explain why we have a fighting section. Everyone in here has to fight someone - if the opposition can't send in some fighters, they have to fight each other. Would actually be better than the local majorettes, or some under 8 team playing penalty shoot outs that normally is papped as entertainment. scran section - loads of food concessions concentrated around this area. the seat in front has a fold down table similar to the ones found on planes. Booze section - seat service and a nice selection of beers and wine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murray7 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 I'm all for this. Seems that the vocal support has really pushed us on in recent games, particularly away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarteen87 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 A vocal support got us through the cup semi final! that to date has been the best i've heard us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herbie Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Maybe it's just me going auld and daft but did we not try this before and it didny work? Just asking like.... Best of luck with the venture. The place needs plenty more atmosphere though if anyone starts banging a drum I will personally put my size 11's through it. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestion Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Just another update to let everyone know whats happening! + 100 members on Facebook, Wow amazing in a couple days (https://www.facebook.com/groups/748036301936484/) + Twitter been set up and doing well (https://twitter.com/StMirrenActive)+ St Mirren have said they will be doing everything they can to help us+ Looking likely that season ticket holders from other stands will be able to sit with us! - Brian Caldwell ( St Mirren General Manager) " my initial only concern is the first row behind the tunnel incase someone falls over" so we might not be able to sit directly behind this but isn't that much of a problem! Thanks again to everyone and lets get SMP rocking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time a moan was uttered , the clappers would immediately spring into action with a quick "C`mon Saints" or a short burst of OWTS. Alternatively , re-route the mains supply from the OAP section to issue a quick corrective current each time the moaner tries to slip in a fly "Aww FFS Cheesy !"
