Not only for his years of great service, affinity to our club and being our cup winning captain. I would like to see him being successful as I would love for him to be our manager sometime in the future but then again if he is too successful he will never look at managing us.

Over the course of the season it should be - in this case Alloa were 12 points ahead of Brechin. Brechin were actually closer in points to 10th than they were to 2nd. Alloa or Brechin: it doesn't make a great deal of difference to us but I think Livingston and Dumbarton will be pleased tonight. There's a fair chance Brechin will be whipping boys next season. Out of interest, I had a look at the head-to-heads and Brechin have only beaten us once in their history: 2-0 at Glebe Park on 17/01/04 about 6 weeks after Gus took over. They ended up finishing bottom of the league while we were 7th. Notable for being the last time Basher started a professional football match. Made a couple of appearances from the bench for us after that then that was it. He was still only 29. The St Mirren team was: Woods, Van Zanten (McKenna), McGowne, Dempsie, McGroarty, Millen (Broadfoot), Gillies, Murray, Lavety, O'Neil (Crilly), Lappin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their options are sack him and take a big financial hit or stick with a guy who can't get the team playing and lost a dressing room. Andy Barrowman was on the radio the other day saying how surprised he was that ICT brought in Malpas to help Foran because they didn't get on when they worked together before. They're a real mess which is good news for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shull Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 At least, the Brechin away support will fit in.the West Bank. Money saving bonus for our Club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Zo Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 The disappointing aspect to next season is that there are going to be very few big away supports coming to Paisley with only Morton, Falkirk and Dunfermline bringing any supports worth of note. Brechin, Inverness, Dumbarton, Queens, Hamilton (assume they will lose play off) and Livingston all bringing less than 250.It's therefore even more important that the home fans turn up in good numbers to compensate for this loss in revenue. Really looking forward to the new season and genuine chance to make a real push for the top 4 or even top spot.Morgan and McGennis will only get better plus I am sure we will get some of the players from last season signed up plus there will be some new signings in the next month or so.I think we are in for a very special season.

southsidebud Posted May 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 If the final piece of the jigsaw is Hamilton then it really is an open division next year. Bookies will probably have Falkirk and relegated Premiership teams as the three favourites with us (and maybe Morton) just sitting 'outside the medals'. Hopefully JR gets the business done early in terms of key re-signings (we know who they are) plus a couple of major signings (second keeper / out and out striker) If this is done then we can win the league.

I think wanting Alloa up rather than Brechin wasn't based on relative strengths or finances of each club. It was because Alloa are managed by a St Mirren cup winning legend, and he's trying to do well with a part-time team. It would have been nice for us to play Alloa and give Goody a song or two. Alloa is also a lot nearer than Brechin, a doddle to get to, just over the Kincardine Bridge. I think I've pretty much nailed it why a lot of us wanted Alloa - Jim Goodwin, and it's nearer.

In fact it's more you have no sense of humour, but that's ok as well, takes all types. Isn't it ironic who likes your post?

Was speaking to a Pars fan at work and they are worried for the season ahead on a budget point of view. They will have lost big away gates vs Raith and Hibs next season, and if United go too they reckon that over the season they would be down about 6000-8000 people through the away gates, never mind the reduction in home gate too. That's in excess of £100k disappearing from their last years budget, before any corresponding drop in home revenue, advertising or hospitality.
