To get you in the mood for Fir Park tomorrow, here are some pics from the brilliant 3-2 comeback victory  in  May 2007.

Wow. In your relentless pursuit of petty point scoring and one-upmanship  you've actually played the dying child card, like it's some weird game of top trumps.
 Even for a sanctimonious bar steward like you, that's pretty low.

Brian Caldwell already explored this and approached a number of airlines. Couldn't get the idea to fly unfortunately.

Far from being anti social and excuse ridden, St.Mirren have been positive and proactive in trying to address local concerns. Unfortunately, for some it's never good enough.
A few years ago the complaints were about general noise levels.  in planning terms, the use as a sports ground/recreation was established decades ago. Despite that, a noise assessment was undertaken and St.Mirren erected acoustic fencing. 
Since then, some local residents  again raised the issue of noise, pushing for another noise assessment!  Given there is not a case to answer, it would appear complaints have turned to the offensiveness of the noise, which is far more subjective.
On another point, if I recall correctly, there were complaints about balls in gardens. St.Mirren, being the good neighbour, and certainly not making excuses (which given the standard of playing ability would be very easy), erected taller fencing to stop balls. The consequence...complaints about balls hitting the fence!
The club is proactive in improving standards. Fitzy has also met with local residents a few times in his short tenure.
The locals may well be offended by the swearing and frequency of use, and  St.Mirren should do more to address it. However, I suspect even if St.Mirren were to take a zero tolerance approach and the swearing was wiped out, another complaint would soon surface to suit their agenda.
Having a very public facing role in development and planning for major infrastructure projects, I have first hand experience of the lengths people will go to discredit proposals/developments. Whilst legitimate concerns can be mitigated and resolved, some folk will always find something else to complain about no matter how much you address their issues. At the end of the day they just don't want it, but need to justify their dislike for developments rather than simply state their dislike which holds no weight and appears irrational.

Very sad news. I've fond memories of Cubby from when I travelled on the Knox St bus with my Gran & Papa in the 80s and early 90s, as well as from my time as a ball boy. Cubby never gave in to our demands for an increase to the £1 a game wage!
Condolences to his son Scott(?) and the family.
I managed to dig out an old photo. I remember Cubby organising the Knox St bus through to Edinburgh for a sing song against Dunfermline supporters on live tv for STV's charity telethon! Cubby is standing behind Santaponsasaint.
