Perhaps we should all write to the St Mirren SLO and pitch the idea. Do the club make any money direct from this game being on BT Sport or is it just lumped into the overall league prize money? Think I was the only saint fan there that didn't take the bus and just drove up instead. Can't remember the reason why, but by the end of the game paying for petrol wasn't a worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north isles saint Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Was planning to head down on the friday night ferry to Aberdeen, arriving on saturday morning - will have to think about Plan B.........will have to fly down on the friday instead I guess.

Eric Arthur Blair Posted January 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 How times have changed. The opening game of the 2011/12 league season was away to Dunfermline, 25/07/11, shown live on BT Sport. Finished 0-0 (Tommo missed a penalty and vowed never to take another...how we wish he'd kept that promise ). Anyone care to hazard a guess as to when the next time we had an away league game broadcast live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 We had 778 fans in Dunfermline on Friday, 1,400 at the Saturday game. I'm sure if the club and supporters buses run a few extra, we'll still see big numbers at Dundee United. I'll guess we'll take over 1,000 Supporters buses probably won't as an expensive outlay and if 2nd bus is only half full they will lose money. Think the club should do something for this as would make a big difference to the size of the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad they're showing it. Now lets pump them AFAIK no BT cash goes to clubs for individual league games. The cash is distributed according to league positions at the end of the season.

Think we took over 30 buses that day. Supporters were in the main stand as well as the old terracing behind the goal. Cracking day and result.

Notice they were selling bus tickets through SMFCtickets for games before, perhaps could set up something like that. Fiver a seat, club cover the rest. Would be a great advert for the club if we could pack the away end on live tv! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 You're only "pretty sure" when your birthday is? [emoji4]Didn't notice he put the match date on his post just saw the 2014 part. Yes, my birthday night out remember I cheered rather loudly when I saw we had scored the winner. Some strange looks in restaurant but didn't really care.
