To be absolutely fair, that is not how it is written in the actual document - http://smisa.net/images/docs/election2016/Job_description_v1.pdf
For avoidance of doubt, the document also states:
"The successful candidate will [...] Be a SMISA member and be passionate about St Mirren and the community around it."
and:
"No specific qualifications are necessary for the position."
 
 

Big shout out to BarryMitchell who is working his socks off confirming all these sign ups.

Come on Buds ......... let's do this now and smash that target
#buythebuds
#COYS

I think strange though it seems ( although through 900 barrier ) it actually 'feels' like its on the move now as some predicted ( I wasn't one of them ) so I'm glad they will smash it now I say 'they' I mean US

869 signed up. Been a good push in the last few days. Let's break 900 tomorrow!

The issue being, if a lot of folk are waiting for it to happen and for it to be credible before they sign up - what happens if the deadline passes without 1000 being reached and the sellers don't sell? There won't be anything for them to sign up for. I can understand St Mirren fans not signing up as they have concerns about X, Y or Z, but if anyone definitely fancies it, but only after it launches? Seriously - sign up NOW to give it a chance!

It is difficult in the present era in Scotland to generate any enthusiasm for anything to do with football, because as a nation we are rapidly falling off the scales in terms of the quality of football on offer compared to most other countries in Europe. This is made much worse by the fact that St Mirren have fallen so far behind other comparable clubs within Scotland in the past few years.
All the more reason to make a special effort to turn things round at St Mirren before it is too late.
So anyone who is swithering as to backing the present bid or not - get the finger out or watch your club wither away into oblivion.

The counter on the website is updated manually - so whilst there were 20 sign ups during the meeting, they won't be added to the counter until that's done

Like this?

I thought Colin Orr and David Nicol from SMISA were very professional tonight, particular praise to Colin for being dropped in it with the presentation at the last minute.
I think the Deadline of June 19 will concentrate minds and hopefully we will see a swell of support as this date approaches. Certainly the team of SMISA deserve it.

Or even ; #buythebuds

It's technically buythebuds.

The Smisa website says there will be some form of recognition in the main stand for the fans who back the bid.

Well it depends how you interpret the wording. The board sets the subscription rate and a change to that rate is (arguably) a change to the society's rules - although I get where you are coming from. And as you point out - if the members are unhappy at the decision, they can easily vote to replace the board.
The second point is really more crucial - ultimately if 'future smisa board' decided to set the membership fee at a rate that was deliberately prohibitive, they would be in breach of their own rules, the spirit of SD more importantly, the laws governing CBSs.
I think we agree - its pretty unlikely.

Get this bigoted shite off a Saints supporters forum please.

That's me signed up. Out of the loop a wee bit here in Llandudno, but happy to be involved in #BuyTheBuds

Well done SMiSA. Nice bibs, quite like the idea of the logo on the front too.

Alex Rae's view wasn't that he didn't want to play passing football or a passing game (both he and DF said they wanted to play good football, but wanted to be winners first and foremost), I think its more that he just feels there is limited value in teaching youth players to 'dink' it out from the goalie to the full back, who then 'dinks' it to the centre half, because once these youth players start playing senior games, they won't get away with that - if that's all your youth players know, they will get slaughtered in the senior game, and their confidence will get destroyed. I think he means he wants a balanced style of play, passing, but not passing for the sake of it, because that will usually get you into difficulties.

could be david preece?

AR did say at one point he always wore a short sleeved shirt growing up so no-one could call him a Jessie....so I think the coloured boots have had their day at the Paisley 2021 stadium.....
