My point though is there currently is a massive pre occupation with trying to stop the spread. Have you been to a GP recently? Temp checks, masks, everyone in hazmat suits, last time I was there I thought I was going to be sprayed with disinfectant, all to "stop the spread". Well, it's not working, 1 in 14 had it in Scotland last week. We have flu every year, which also kills, and now in greater numbers than covid, but I don't recall any previous attempts to segregate in hospitals for any other illness.
 

No, I'm a white middle aged man so not diverse enough 😄

Fans with disabilities, LGBT+ representation, different ethnic backgrounds, more woman represented etc....
We are a community club and should be increasing our fan base by becoming more inclusive to everyone. 

Yes there will be and to be fair the members there have a right variety of experience.
I would like to see a bit of diversity in fans of more diverse back ground and would be great to see some input from fans of different backgrounds to build inclusivity around the club.

There will be a lot of talented people within the support who could bring  fresh energy and thoughts to SMISA. Hope there are a healthy number of people who put their names forward. 

Perhaps it's time for the medical profession to change how they deal with covid. 
Currently there are still lots of protocols and preventative measures to stop the spread - separate wards etc - which reduces capacity.
This is despite the risk from covid drastically reducing - flu is now more deadly. I currently have covid and it feels like a mild cold - I know lots of people who have had it recently and no-one has been really unwell.
Perhaps if we remove protocols given the reduced risk it might help hospitals cope better.

He's not in hospital, he's under my patio - with the others. [emoji317]

AGM announced for 21st April.
Three places on the current SMISA board up for re-election - those of us who didn't pay much attention when the constitution was drawn up are probably surprised to hear only a third of the board are up for re-election each year. 
I'd urge anyone who wants change and a more inclusive SMISA to stand for election.

It really is a pish level of service. Feckin amateurs.

I do like Jim, but it would be hysterically funny if his move "up" led to an unscheduled trip to the play offs.

Not fun Hendo. Been there. At least you will get replays of any highlights. Hope these are St Mirren goals.

Going to miss this due to a positive covid test. Oh for the days before self isolation rules.
Just hope the stream is working properly, and please please please no cutting away to replays when play is going on.

With Rickys connections, Elvis’s realistic expectations and St Lucifers love of all things Kibble, I expect a strong field of candidates

I was there elvis General opinion is we’ll be lucky to win another game all season and are budgeting for being in the Lowland League in 4 years

I will predict right now counting our last two games we will go on a twelve game winless streak.

That’s my general feeling.
They are a group of supporters who, after many years of trying, managed to get fan ownership to a place. However, that doesn’t mean that group is the right group to kick us on. There may be some great fans in there, but can they make a difference to a business?

I think you have a point, and a lot of members don't scrutinise much what's going on. Those that attend the meetings do that, which is why I think the AGM is time for change. Those unhappy can put themselves forward or nominate others to stand for election to the Board.
While I don't doubt that the current SMISA board went into this with good intentions, I think they are far too comfortable in their positions and have stopped engaging with members.
