We make a wee bit revenue on the site through the advertisements we run. It's not a massive amount but it does cover our hosting costs, and the licenses for the forum software etc..
There's a bit left over after those costs, so I've decided, on behalf of you lot who at the end of the day ensure the ads make money, to use that to donate to the Help A Buddie scheme.
So today I've purchased 10 tickets to allow fellow buds in the community get along to a game they could not otherwise get to.
This is probably the most difficult time to ask supporters to dig deep for even more money to support their club but I'd hope that some local Saints friendly businesses might step up and match us.

If you do, then you can purchase the tickets here; https://www.stmirren.com/tickets.shtml
 

I am a useless bastard and was supposed to publish this poll this week after getting an agreement from the 1877 club that we could piggyback on them presenting their awards for the season after today's game and hand over ours at the same time.
Trophies didn't look like they would arrive on time so like a big baldy bastard I did nothing and then THE FUCKING TROPHIES ARRIVED THIS MORNING.
So we have rushed to put together the quickest poll in the history of Player of the Year awards.
Voting closes at 16:45 TODAY. Sorry folks!
Choose your main player of the year and your Tam McGarry young player of the year for season 21-22 below. Mind Ronan has won pretty much everything so whilst he is a more than deserving candidate this is our chance to reward one of the other stellar performers in the squad.
But it's up to YOU! And once more, apologies for the rush , feel free to give me a slap when you see me. Baldy useless baldy bastard!

Couple of the young members of the South West North Bank W1 crew will be handing over the awards after the game today in the 1877.

So very sad to read of the sudden passing of Steve Rowan last week.
Steve of course was the producer behind the excellent "Love Street The Movie" DVD that was published to celebrate our time at the old stadium.
The follow on piece to that film, featuring the last ever game at Love Street and Steve interviewing supporters and ex-players is on YouTube but the actual film itself is not. So, inspired by my good friend @Yflab and for everyone to enjoy who has not seen it, here is the full film.
Rest in peace Steve.
 

Didn't end particularly well for him at Fir Park but whilst there is never any guarantee of success this looks, on paper anyway, to be fairly low risk.
We've been through an awful lot as a club (and an awful lot of money) to get close to establishing ourselves as a proper Premiership club and not just one that flirts with relegation every season. The market wasn't exactly awash with outstanding candidates and Robinson looks a pretty safe pair of hands to me.
This wasn't the time to gamble on a rookie IMHO.

I think the club have come out of this last week very well.
First of all we had the foresight to build a very decent compensation clause into Goody's contract - £250K is absolutely not to be sniffed at.
They obviously knew Jim was going latter part of the week but even so to have appointed his successor 3 days after he officially left is pretty stellar work and they managed to keep Robinson's name quiet until the very last minute which again is very unlike us!
To have ended up with a solid, experienced manager who has a proven track record of doing well in this division and getting to the latter stages of cup competitions with a similar sized club is excellent work.
Robinson also has a history of bringing though young players and has had great success bringing players up from England and selling them on at a profit too.
The appointment ticks every box and to have all of that AND £150K profit is just outstanding.
