elvis Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Has anyone looked at todays paper I know it's only the Sunday Sun but saying we are having to rethink giving the old firm family stand due to the fact we have so far sold 4,000 season tickets hope it's true.

Ayrshire Saints Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 I never knew there was such a thing as the "Sunday Sun" ! Oh and it's total bollocks as you would expect from any rag with that title (unless the club have been keeping record sales very quiet which I doubt greatly - Fitzy would have been publicly orgasmic by now if true).

MenstrieSaint Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 The 4,000 season tickets is " Fitzy counting " , we have probably sold 1400 and he,s just two free kids to every season ticket sold to talk the numbers up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalky1 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 It was posted on facebook by a saints supporter, it is also on the Sunday Mail. Stuff was posted on Friday by the club and we weren't far away from the 4000 figure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
class of 76-77 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 It actually says that we’ve surpassed last season’s total and sold over 3000. That’s more believable considering we sold just over 2750 last season. It’s a very impressive total given that the early bird scheme doesn’t finish till next week.

We should be offering a deal or marketing campaign of some sort to try and bring immigrant customers in the Renfrewshire area and build fanbase. I know if the roles were reversed, I'd be looking to take in some local sport in my new home town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that has again been dropped into conversation by GLS in his latest interview. He definitely seems like a man with his heart now set on filling in the corners of the ground with seats and offices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Bull- Guinness. Is that enough? Paisley, overrun now by the rats of the dregs. Aye, I have a high dislike of what it has become. A shithole. Boarded up shopfronts, junkies, lowlife scum...all products of mismanagement by social engineers with a bee in their bonnet. Left wing socialism and unions that broke the town's back in the name of egalitarianism. Well, Yi reap what yi sow. Go and watch the Saints getting flogged, then yi think, well, always next week. Yeah.....always next week. Live in hope. Think it was The Disciple. Was there also a Cumbie? You' re definitely from Paisley and older than I had first thought. Just a pity we didn't win the 2021 as it was a great chance to turn the old town around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renfrew, Houston, Erskine and others have all grown massively since I moved into the area. More people work outside the area then in the past as big factories have gone.

I had Pols in my catering team for over 10 years on one vessel a team of 36 even before they joined the EU. They are great people with good humour when you get to know them so if there is a large local commuity it should be worked on to get some along to St Mirren. The club should look into this.

On 2nd June last year, the West Stand had sold 479 and it took until 11th July to sell 1,000. Using all these published figures based on the busiest stand, seems impossible for nearly 4,000 STs to have been sold. I'm putting this story down as Tony Talk.

Nowhere has Tony been quoted as saying we have sold nearly 4000 season tickets. He says we normally sell 2700 but have sailed past that and we are ON OUR WAY to selling 4000.

This time last year on Friday would have been the 15th of June . 2 weeks between that and the 2nd is a pretty significant difference when it comes down to it. He also didn't say we were nearly at 4k. He said we are past 3k which isn't hard to believe. Edited June 17, 2018 by LargsBud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other posters mentioned 4,000 which i was replying to, Tony mentiond 3,000. 2 weeks is significant, as is another month and a half that it took last season to reach 1,000.
