St Mirren v Hibernian SPFL Premiership 8/11/23
Oldfellow replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
It felt really strange. Car park lights were out when we arrived. There was no music as the system was knackered and the crowd were very quiet. The players warming up and back in the dressing room may well have been affected by the lack of noise which might normally get them geed up. It's not as daft as it sounds -
That may well happen but we can't hold on to every player just in case. We'd have a squad of hundreds and huge debt !!! The value of a good manager is not just deciding who to bring in but who to let go. He is in a better position than you or I to make an informed decision and minimise the risk

My brain isn't what it used to be. I've got Caldwell,Reilly, Kirkpatrick and McShane. Who was the fifth? -
St Mirren v Dundee Scottish Cup Fourth Round 21/1/23
Oldfellow replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Did you buy all four season tickets at the same time? Mine and grandsons were bought weeks apart. No doubt I'll get it sorted. Just means a trip to the ground -
St Mirren v Dundee Scottish Cup Fourth Round 21/1/23
Oldfellow replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Can't get my seat but can get the seat next to me occupied by my grandson. We're both identifed by the same e mail address. Back in July I had the same problem with league cup ties and had to go to the ticket office. I was told there ( by the guy that does the announcements at the ground)that as e mail is the sole ID only one seat can be allocated to each email address. He joked that as we were clearly going nowhere in the league cup the next time I'd need to buy a home ticket would be at Scottish cup time in January and that gave a lot of time to get the problem sorted. Am I surprised? Not really . Will have to go down to the ground. -
Frank Mcgarvey diagnosed with cancer

Not often it happens but this news reduced me to tears. Wonderful player. Wonderful team -
I feel much happier and more comfortable with the old firm only having one stand. I think it may also have helped the team performance. Clearly the attendances have been good compared to previous seasons but I do have one question. How does the income compare with previous seasons playing the OF? I don't know how many attending are paying the full whack and how many are freebies or concessions. In short are we losing income even though the attendances are good? It may well be the case that it's worthwhile even if we lose some income . I'd just like to know and will ask the question at the AGM.

More redundancies. Where are you SMISA?

I haven't a clue what state the clubs finances are in but surely making savings isn't always because of financial troubles. Being as efficient as possible is what any worthwhile business will strive for eg to increase funds to improve the standard of playing squad . -
Heart of Midlothian v St Mirren SPFL PREMIERSHIP 13/1/23
Oldfellow replied to shull's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Can't understand why the game is not being played on Wednesday 19th October when both sides are free. Instead we get a date that is liable to be inconvenient for a number of people and with a greater chance of weather postponement. -
Saint Mirren v Celtic 17 September 2022
Oldfellow replied to Rascal's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
On reflection the Hearts game on Sunday probably couldn't have gone ahead due to policing and other logistical difficulties in Edinburgh. There was nothing to stop the Saturday games though. -

Oldfellow replied to Rascal's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
Agreed. There was ,in my view, no logical reason to postpone last weekends games . Given that the games actually were postponed it would be illogical for next weekends games to go ahead much as I want them to. No games on the day of the funeral would have been perfectly respectful and adequate . SFA and SPFL have screwed up and they probably know it. -
Tasteless and juvenile. I'm not a royalist but she was someone's mum and a fellow human being. Yes she had a life of privelage but her life must have been like living in jail. I certainly wouldn't have swapped places with her

St Johnstone v St Mirren 3 September 22
Oldfellow replied to Rascal's topic in Matchday & Travel Club
I agree. I think we were a bit carried away and complacent. That resulted in carelessness .Some of our passing was dreadful and when the pass did reach its recipient the control of the ball was poor. I exclude Richard Tait from the poor control comment but not Main and Ayunga. Just as an aside listening to the radio on the way back Michael Stewart (one of my least favourite people ) seemed to be sneering at us . I don't think he has ever rated us. Shelley Kerr was not dissimilar. She was probably still smarting from the Rangers score. I assume neither were at the game but seem to be able to talk with great authority about it . Perhaps I'm just imagining their dislike for us and it's me smarting from a score I didn't like . -

I know but I'm not convinced it won't get changed. Hope I'm wrong -

I think it will be on Sunday 18th at 12 noon as they are showing an EPL game on Saturday lunchtime. Would rather it wasn't moved at all so I live in hope. If it is moved it is very short notice. Perhaps they don't realise people have other things going on in their life and need to plan . On second thoughts they just don't care.
