    Maybe the club is doing all it can to make the ground a Dickson free zone, so what not to like  :rolleyes:

    Maybe - but if so why offer tickets in the family stand. To be honest I wouldn't give your conspiracy theory much credence. In terms of probability I'd say it's far more likely that the worst ticketing website I have ever had to use in my life is probably more likely to be the source of the issue.

    You may find that the seats you are talking about are registered to someone else, they have until a certain date to renew their season ticket before it becomes available to everyone else. This is what happened to me last season. Moved from the Family stand back to the West stand but had limited choice due to when I purchased the tickets.

    4800 seats being reserved? I don't think so. 

    Like I said when I went in as though renewing I could see spare seats next to my sons seats in the main stand, but when you went in as a potential new season ticket holder those seats disappeared, and the only ones available were in the family stand. 

    BTW, I couldn't even get the graphics to load up on Chrome on a Windows PC, it did work for me on Microsoft Edge.

    He didn't "slate" Coton at all.

    He also didn't claim Ross signed him.

    You need to learn to interpret the written word my friend.

    He says it was an odd choice and he claims Ross rates him. I paraphrased but I'm right about the sites content. 

    Roker Report were put in their place two days ago. They'd be linking Ross with all manner of shite players from the Scottish Leagues on the basis that Jack Ross might know them. With Naismith going to Peterborough, and Kamberi signing for Hibs the Chairman responded to tweets about how disappointing it was to miss out  on targets to their rivals. Donald responded as directly as he could

     "We can’t be beaten to a signing of a player we don’t want to sign. We have plenty of targets and we haven’t lost any yet."

    Haaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, oh that's funny. As  mentioned before, my belief isn't just that he's on the committee. So, you haven't proved anyone wrong, he hasn't proved anyone wrong, it'll be nearly impossible for me to be proved right and I'll just continue to be suspicious of him. No amount of further chat will change any of that, it's my opinion. 

    Next vote must be almost weeks away, save your strength for that. Who knows, it might not even need much discussion.

    I'm not trying to prove anyone wrong Kenny. If I was doing that I'd copy and paste the obvious evidence from Facebook and reveal his identity. I'm not doing that. I'm simply telling you his name is not that of anyone on the SMISA committee. I don't know more than that cause unlike others I'm not obsessed with who sleeps with whom or who is mates with whom. Im just pointing out something that would be obvious to people who use both formats.

    Carry on battering Bazil for his arguments, I'll side with you there. I'm just trying to point out that you are wrong in assuming hes on the SMiSA committee.

    Yeah I wouldn't bother reading that site eastlandsaint. It's full of shite - or at least it really has been this summer. This article is typical of the pish he comes away with. No room for negativity apparently, and then he slates Tony Coton. Then he says "but Ross rates him highly" - yet it wasn't Ross that recruited him at all - it was Donald. 

    It's a bit like reading some of the posts on the St Mirren Facebook page, best left alone.

    Have never had a problem  however im from the old school. Phone the ticket office, pay with my card job done easy peasy.  Edit job done in less than two minutes wise up guys. 

    Old school didn't pay Interstadia to run a shite data mining website with limited functionality and cards that cause problems at the first games of every season. It's time to bin them.

    He only posts stating his thoughts.

    I could swear blind he wrote that he was posting what he'd been told. Not what he thought he'd been told by the voices. emoji23.png

    I think you are a coward. I've been told you are a fanny. I believe you are the dullest, most boring user of the BAWA forum. And I absolutely know that I wouldn't want you working for or representing me in any way. 

  8. I'd agree with this - as well as the lack of an opt out for the use of personal information for marketing purposes and the fact that the company still haven't found a way to get their functionality to extend to the worlds most popular web browser the usability is still utterly shit! 

    As I said earlier in the week both of my sons haven't decided yet whether or not they wish to renew their season tickets. My sons fiancee was considering buying a season ticket so she could go to matches with him. They still haven't made up their minds but I thought I would check the situation regarding available seats. When i go in through either of my sons family memberships I can renew their seats, and I can see a number of limited number of vacant seats around them - one right in front of them and one immediately behind them that would do the trick. However if I try to become a new season ticket holder those vacant seats all disappear and the only seats I can purchase as for a huge area of the family stand which appears to the only seats that haven't been sold. 

    I told my son this and he tried it on his laptop and sure enough he's got the same problem. So it now looks as though both he and his fiancee have had their mind made up for them - they will now not be buying a season ticket and my other son is even less likely to buy one given he won't be sitting beside anyone he knows. 

    As far as I am aware the club hasn't sold 4,736 season tickets for the coming season so I'm not sure why they should all be shown as being sold out but they are!

    As for age- Well I am no spring chicken but if your meaning the usual LPMs, Stu D, "slit list" brigade then just because they post a lot doesn't represent the 6000 fans that turned up for our last few games....

    I've no idea what it's got to do with age but you are right about one thing. I don't represent any of the "6,000" fans that turned up for the last few games. I don't claim to either. I represent myself. My opinions are my own and I post stating my thoughts. If you think you are representing anyone other than yourself then I suggest you seek medical help soon. You've lost it :rolleyes:

    I get the feeling that Stubbs is already a man with a target on his back.

    There's already a large amount of negative posts that will, IMO, only increase as I fear we could struggle in the top league, as Ross probably have done. 

    A poisoned challis, almost a "no win" situation as nothing short of top 6 place, which I feel is next to impossible in out first season, will see him torn to shreds on a weekly basis.  

    I sincerely hope we get off to a good start or the current negativity will grow and Stubbs will be doomed before the first quarter of the season is over. 

    There is already a fairly long list thinking, or hoping, he will fail, seen this before with our managers. 

    I know no-one will be the slightest bit surprised but I get the same feeling. 

    Lets face it there's a load of people with really unrealistic expectations. There's the CEO with his 4th - 6th place rubbish. The Chairman who only wants to watch entertaining football. And a board that launched a pile of names into the papers that showed pretty clearly that Alan Stubbs wasn't necessarily first choice. Then there's a load of slabbering fans who think the club will be able to get Stevie Mallan and Lewis Morgan in for the coming season. Or the really daft ones who think Alan Stubbs - a man who in his own words was sidelined by Martinez having gone for the Everton job at that time - will be able to get Marco Silva to send up a load of loan players from Merseyside when Stubbs couldn't get Martinez to send any to Hibs, when he was there, nor Koeman to send him any to bail him out at Rotherham. 

    Staying up should be the only goal. If Stubbs keeps St Mirren ahead of Livingston all season long, and perhaps one other - he'll have had a successful year in my opinion. I don't think there's many on here that share that pragmatism though.

    I remember it well.

    As long as he is backroom staff and doesn't appear out the tunnel then I'll be happy.

    It doesn't look at all clever does it? Jackson's leg is fully extended, knee locked, and he's clearly not pulling back from the challenge. It's hard to conclude anything other than this being a reckless, maybe even dangerous challenge. It would be a straight red card offence today. Back then, incredibly, it wasn't even deemed a foul and when the ball broke free Christian Dailly took full advantage to score. 

    You've got to wonder about the conversation that took place recruiting Jackson though. Did Jackson not tell Stubbs that he wasn't the most popular man in Paisley? Did Tony Fitzpatrick or Gordon Scott not flag up a possible problem - after all both of them are supposed to be big St Mirren supporters aren't they? Or was Stubbs happy to knowingly recruit a divisive figure that could turn, at least a section of, the St Mirren support against him? Maybe all four just felt that at a "fan owned" club they could use this to tell their fellow owners to wind their neck in and to show who is in charge?

    He must have done that by now :blink: somethings must be brewing. Maybe working on a battle plan and teaming up  with Stu-d. Oh shit :shutup could be a pincer attack :ph34r::ph34r:

    No teaming up with me. I've got no problem with it at all. A business has decided to pay to put their name to the stadium. That's good news. At least this time it's not taxpayers money that should have been used to better the town that is being gifted to the football club.

    I think McDowall saved a penalty? Or am I making that up?

    We used to have a few on the blacklist:

    Darren Jackson

    Paul Hartley

    James Grady

    Ross Tokely

    Sam McGivern (I think.... can't remember his crime)

    and going back a few years...

    Ally Dawson

    Danny McGrain

    Yes he did. 

    There's a report and a picture of it on here

    https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=1898

    Stevie Kirk was also hated - probably for his involvement in Abercrombies triple red card.

    Yeh, that was it. Quick google. We lost 3-2 up at Tannadice in 1991.

    Les Fridge had to be carried off after colliding with Jackson's boot.

    That's how I remember it too. Kenny McDowell went in goals.

    Jackson revelled in the abuse he got as I remember it, but I gained a respect for him watching him play for Scotland and seeing just how hard he worked as a player.

    If the teaser is the actual strip I don't think it would be that far away to be honest. Joma will be working to a template and it's pretty evident from the picture what the collar will look like and what the detail is on the main stripe. The only way - I'd imagine - it would be significantly different would be if they decided to go with a predominately white top with just the single black stripe down the middle with the black and red collar detail. 

    I suspect the away kit will be the Joma variety that has two stripes down the left hand side of the top - similar to the Romania away kit - but with a single black and a single white instead of the two yellow ones.
