Interesting read after not receiving one yesterday and the moans that followed.

I agree with most of TC’s post, I would probably keep Eckersly though and possibly let MacKenzie go and hunt another CH to partner big Harry.

Judging by the scenes in The Bankhouse it might be an idea to stick a few quid on Falkirk to win this one

I'd guess there were 700-800 empty seats in the away end - Livi had 230 supporters or so and I'm guessing about 200 St Mirren fans in there as well. Not sure there was over 1000 empty seats in the 3 home stands, although I suppose once you spread out 300 empty seats over a stand its possible... even then you are talking about the family stand only being 75% full. Looked about 50 seats in beside the Panda Club and maybe a similar number in front rows of W5-7.
You need to go over your math again.
1600- 430 doesn’t = 700-800.
Amazes me to think people genuinely believe that we can cheat attendance figures inside an all ticket stadium with a barcode entry turnstile system.

Anyway, back to the game.
Great day, glad we got it done and dusted today. We were the better team but as long as it was 0-0 it was going to be a nervy end to the game.
Gary Mac was fantastic, great shift and great to see him back at his best.
But McGinn was captain fantastic today. Playing through injury and putting himself about all over the park. When he jockeyed the ball out of play in the last 10 minutes really summed his performance up, what a captain.

Saints had three stands plus a section of the North Stand.
"Official" crowd given as around 6200
Plenty empty seats on family stand towards the main stand, Panda club section. West stand also has pockets of empty seats all over, particularly in W1 and W5.
These stands may have been “sold out” but certainly not full.

Wouldn't it be dead funny if we all sang Hands up if your top of the table tonight
Then when we're 3-0 up "Hands up for the champions"..
Am I the only person who woke up singing Beautiful Sunday this morning?
Still whistling it in work just now

which majority do you wonder won't get their way? and why won't they?
The ones who like to be heard, a bit like the yes campaign (I voted yes btw).
Convinced they are the majority because they're shouting loudest.

Wonder if the majority will not get their way?
Amazes me when this happens.

Because some people are in a position of having to vote no to something they potentially support because it is dressed up as being for the good of the club.
Seriously?
Just vote no FFS.
Where’s the shake of the head emoji Div?

Spoke to a few people in passing yesterday at the game.
All n agreement that SMISA are wrong with this proposal.
Unfortunately it’s been put across in such a way, with emotional blackmail included, that means it’s more likely to be passed.
Disappointing & an error of judgement in my view. Doesn’t fill me with confidence.
Can’t get my head round this emotional blackmail.
If all these people don’t approve then they should vote no and that will be that.

I thought the OP was meaning for it to buy new issued shares rather than existing ones.
There’s no chance this will happen.

I thought the 50K being converted into shares was a better suggestion , ultimately that is what its for anyway is it not?
If used for a share purchase the 50k would go straight to GLS or the selling consortium, not to the club and towards buying the 4G pitch.

Laurel & Hardy learn St Mirren are 12 ahead with 12 to play for and have a superior goal difference...
If it did come down to it the goal difference would be very tight.
Should we lose all our games 1-0 and Livy win all their games 1-0 we’d only win the league by 1 goal.
But, we’ll win it on Tuesday so no matter.

I am one that advocates "big ticket items" and put the proposal to SMISA that an option to "Save the pot" was put on each & every ballot to give the members the opportunity to vote on saving the money.
I think i used the term "instead of spunking it on balls for the 1st team" or words to that effect.
Now we have a big ticket item, an item that I would support paying for from a saved up £2 pot but I cannot support it being paid for by money ring fenced to achieve the goal of purchasing shares and ultimately the club.
You can argue till you are blue in the face and come back with a load of bollocks about the money will getting repaid. That is not the point.
Like Poz's wifes telly fund, he was only dipping into it once, but then he done it again & again and before long, there wasn't enough money for the telly.
Bazil, as far as I can see, you are about the only forumster arguing it's a good thing to spend from the ringfenced pot.
That in itself speaks volumes.
Hopefully, the members vote to reject this ludicrous proposal.
Just vote no then and no matter what the outcome we should all respect the results.

Good work mate, why both clubs couldn't have said that in the first place is beyond me. Clearly we are not getting a Sevco sized allocation for some reason but 2250 will be our biggest away league support for over 15 years. Should be great.
Great support but we must have had at least that at Fir Park for the 3-2 victory in 2007 ?

When Tsumirren resigned from the SMiSA board I did predict a stinker of an idea being proposed, and this certainly stinks. It may not be the only one to come between now and the end of the AGM.
Quite simply it states in our constitution that the only money that can be used for this type of project or any project is the £2 pot, the other money is ring fenced to buy the shares, the £2 pot money can be saved up to replace the astro turf if the members so wish.
I can’t see any reference to this in the constitution, the £2 monthly pot isn’t even mentioned.
The constitution does say membership money can be used to achieve the objectives set out.
Objective 4.3 - “playing a role helping to achieve a successful St Mirren”.

In short i am going to take the money you were saving up to buy the controlling interest in the club from me, and keep it,but i am happy for you to replace with more of your own money. Seems fair when you put it like that, can you help me buy the eiffel tower as well guv?
Nonsense.
They have put together a proposal for the members to consider and vote on. If the members vote against it then nothing happens.

The email says the next 9 quarterly spends + £5k that they have just now.
5 nines are 45 + 5 = 50

Get there early, drive past the Ashvale Chippy and stadium on your right. Do a u turn just before you head out of town and park facing the way you came.

I nominate Shull.

I did too , if it means there's more to spend on player contracts for next season , and one of said players scores the winner v the old scum , then yes and yes will have been a great idea !This is more what I got involved for to be honest. I would have been happier to increase my subscription if this was the type of thing we were investing in instead of local boys clubs, footballs, t-shirts and music bands.

I sent Div a pm years ago and volunteered to help out as I had a fair bit of spare time each day to moderate. I was a young guy with no children who spent a fair bit of time on here so was happy to help.
Back then I had NSS and Tom helping Div also, we all pitched in to keep the place tidy but now it’s non existent due to everyone’s personal commitments.
I work hard running my business and spare time with my family is far more important than moderating the forum, priorities change. I feel I’ve done my bit and now there’s little point in me having moderation powers any longer. I’m quite happy to continue do what I can when I can but it’s not going to be on a daily basis.
New moderators would definitely be good but be prepared to get a bit of stick (and some abusive & threatening PM’s) for every decision you make.
Anyone up for the responsibility should drop Div a PM. I’m sure he’d welcome some sensible forum users offering their spare time for the good of the forum. I’m sure most forum users would be grateful for the efforts also.
We have a great platform here to talk about our football club and I’m glad to hear Div saying he’s not planning on dropping it.
