Ach, enjoy. The Crown and Robinson's opposite the Europa are nice, historic pubs. I haven't been to either for a wee while, mind.

To be fair, somebody did something to Main! I'm not even 100% convinced it was Main...

I'm just waiting for @Oldfellow's match report. People slag @faraway saint, but when he does go to a game (admittedly about as frequently as the planets align) he gives us a running commentary of what's happening.

Shaughnessy scored a few last season. In fact, wasn't there a point when he was our top scorer? If we encourage him to get forward now and get, why not?

Aww, I love the red! I wish the club would do black and white striped scarves with wee thin red stripes. It's our third colour, and always should be.

Well I hope you enjoy your day! You should have taken your Mrs on Saturday and celebrated your anniversary over there.

If it's the George Best Airport you'll be absolutely fine! I use it for work and make it in about 20 mins in a taxi You'll be out of the stadium by 15:30.

By this time next week I expect us to have sold 200-300 more. Just because it's pay day. Of course, the vast majority of people who intend to buy a season ticket have already done so. I do expect there to be a few hundred more sold, though. That should work for the gate until your card comes through.

What time's your flight? Mine's 06:30. I'm only taking hand luggage and can check in the night before, so I will basically head straight to security. I reckon if I get there 90 mins before my flight, i.e. 05:00, I should be okay.

Motherwell have European football to look forward to this season. That helps a lot. I still think we'll sell a couple of hundred more. Plus folk may take out the finance option and pay for them monthly. Not everyone can afford £300+ upfront, particularly if they are purchasing more than one.

Enjoy Belfast! Are you flying? If so how long did it take you to get through security? I'm flying on Friday and don't want to get there ridiculously early, but at the same time I'm worried about the queues. It's a testimonial, so I would imagine that there would be a reasonable turnout. Then again, it's a Monday night during holiday season.

That's very true. Lots of players have come back to play for him, and Flynn has signed a new contract, so that's a good sign. I was just looking at his managerial stats: I would be delighted if he emulated his form at Motherwell, which accounts for the majority of his managerial career. The signings he has brought in are a reason for optimism. I am looking forward to the new season.

From P&B:

The physical ones take a few weeks to produce, however a QR code was issued with the initial email which should admit you to games up until then. As with previous seasons, I would get there early for the first few games.

It was when he was in the jail, I think.

It doesn't look like it: https://crusadersfootballclub.com/news/paul-heatleys-testimonial-game-monday-night

That's good! I took mine from his Wikipedia page, but Wiki's not reliable as we all know. Thanks for rectifying that!

This is a St. Mirren forum, in case it escaped your notice! It's the close season and we have several new signings. On top of that Arbroath were lauded for their great team last season. I think most of us are looking forward to the game - I'm relishing the Belfast trip and that's a friendly!

I have received an email from SMISA who hope to purchase 30 season tickets:

"Great news about Gallagher signing!" "He's 31 and only made 15 appearances for Aberdeen last year! We're taking on Aberdeen's cast offs." "He's experienced! 31 is a long way from being passed it. He's been capped for Scotland fairly recently, for heaven's sake."

We've sold TWO season tickets since Friday, it seems! I think most people get paid at the end of the month. I reckon we'll sell a couple of hundred by this time next week. But I regret to say I don't think we'll match last season's sales.

I won't be at this game, but was wondering whether the lads will be wearing the new strip? Anyone going?

Was he out of contract? Did we get anything for him?
