I use Firefox and have never had a problem, I have been told by a few people that they have trouble with the website when using their phone but no problem on Pc or tablet

The game is completely corrupt, the SPFL are only interested in the clubs that command the biggest TV audiences, everyone else is just cannon fodder.

No season ticket purchasing from me until it is absolutely certain the league will go ahead and I will be allowed in to watch games.

As is their usual method of operation, the SMiSA board have informed members of proposals at the very last minute allowed which gives members as little time as possible to mull over the proposal.

With 2 or more directors on the board representing Kibble and them being employees of that business, we would effectively have paid board members whose only jobs for us are to sit on the board, something I thought would not have happened under the proposed takeover.

With over 75% between smisa and existing fans who own shares nobody but fans can make full decisions and have them passed, 27.5% of shares owned by others means they can block decisions from being passed. Kibble could replace all existing staff with their own supervisors and trainees and effectively decide how much we pay for maintenance of everything from picking up litter to building new facilities. Complete fan ownership as promised would never be achieved if this is voted through, GLS always had the ability to sell a percentage of his shares and has obviously decided he will do. As someone has already said - fan ownership my arse.

Come off it Waldorf, you know that any grant would mean unwanted close scrutiny of the association.

Why would anyone who chose to watch a Saints game on video or TV need to see any signage. It would be as much of a waste of money as the Graffiti art on the walls which shows images of players, unfortunately the images don't look very much like the players they are meant to portray.

I like that name in bold, very funny. Incidentally i know you are right, i was on the SMiSA committee for a season and a half and during that time was offered a free place in hospitality on 2 occasions, reason being the tables were not all full and they wanted to make the place look busy. I declined both offers.

"The players need time to gel" - aye we know we've seen the hairdos.

GLS will have no shares left at all, so would have to be elected as chairman by SMiSA members, so possibly him, but i know at least one of the other current club board members has an ambition to be chairman.

There is a distinct lack of interest from SMiSA members to even attend meetings never mind join the board and attend board meetings, also it has been made increasingly difficult for anyone to join the SMiSA board because of the current boards selection criteria. I wish i could share your optimism that a whole new committee would be formed but i don't see that happening. What happens if the current board resigns en masse leaving nobody in office.

The chairman and the board member are embarassing with their current conduct. Offering to fight with a supporter should be a sackable offence and stating that the proceeds (though god knows who would pay to watch) would go to charity - that being the St Mirren charitable trust. Just give money to the trust and don't bother with a fight. That charitable trust is very handy though, it's just the right type of trust that could take over from SMiSA if everything goes wrong. I believe they could take control of the SMiSA funds and run the club without input from SMiSA members.

I liked this post - does that mean i'm you.ffs

Sadly I don't see the early payoff regime ending in the near future, i think we are in the money-go-round fraternity, where almost everyone involved gets a cut of the deal in one way or another.
