Miss Saint

Good post. Aye ye joined to help to get it up and running thinking things will get better etc.
Totally agree with free guest or two - that should be a given with your membership. Apparent ly some members don't want free guests cos then that's folk getting in for nothing while they are paying - that one kills me!
The big chairs and tables were gotten free at start of last season - there is a reason - the seats are guff, tables fine.  As for those other fold up ones...aye they shite too.
Bar prices for me should be more in line with other members clubs.
Buddievison - don't even start me on that.
Parking permit - don't drive no idea what costs are but I had kinda assumed there was an area for parking with the bar. Food - doesn't bother me too much only had a Panini a Cpl of times, wee nephew likes the pakora but there isn't much choice wise. Another member mentioned after the game on Saturday that she would like food after as an option.
Main Stand thing - come on noo if ye sit in main stand you are already at the stand....doon stairs, turnstyle and in. Plus not all members are from Main Stand - if you get direct access to your stand I want a shuttle bus roon to the West :-)

Fair comment.  Joining the 1877 Club doesn't make financial sense.  I say that as a member who is also footing the bill for  his 18 year old grandson.  So... Why did I join?  Firstly to support an initiative that I hope will be further developed in future to provide pre and post match food,  drinks and TV coverage of games and a chance to rub shoulders with players post match.  At this point the cost of drinks seems reasonable to me.  
What would I like to see at this time?
1. I would allow one guest for free when accompanying a member.   It presently costs me 3 pounds and I take a guest each time. 
2. I would provide chairs and tables sufficient to let everyone have a seat. 
What would I like to see in the future? 
1. Improved members benefits.  E. G.  access to Buddievision. 
2. Discount on parking permit for supporters annual parking permit. 
3. Improved range and quality of food. 
4.Direct access to a Main Stand area where season tickets can be bought. 
 

Yip, I joined cos my nephew now comes with me to the games - which I love, but can't get him in our bus's pub as they don't serve food. I had stupidly assumed it would be members club type bar pricing which it isn't. So all it is expensive, and the way certain things have been dealt with it's making me strongly rethink being a member. It was also advertised/sold as having players in, guests etc - hardly ever happens. Gies yer tenner, pay full bar prices and weesht

So at 10pm Friday night Colin (who I now know now is Colin that does the door at the club) put out a tweet to say that the club wouldn't be open afterwards to non members, unless paying guest previous to game.
So many things wrong with this - short notice, tweet from someone's personal twitter, nothing official, nothing on FB page for the bar, no email to memebers.
Alan Wardrop did come on to twitter on Saturday morning to reply - so apparently some members have complained about those getting in for nothing. Ok - why were all members not asked about their views on this? What about us members who don't want guests charged and therefore have no problem with non members being in after?
I went in after and it was nowhere near full yet folk turned away at door because of this decision.
I've said this repeatedly - its NOT a members club from what I can see from my first year in it. ( I have already told Alan that I don't think mine and my nephew's membership will continue much longer). A members club - meetings, agms, votes - surely.. not to mention members bar prices. You basically pay a tenner a month to get you in.  Alan did say back in March when he gave my nephew a tour for his birthday that he had taken my comments on board about the fact that players are hardly ever in and that this would change (too early in season to judge that).
A fellow member has requested a meeting, as yet no reply. Not everyone is going to agree with the same things but I also think a meeting is needed to air our views, its meant to be our club but it appears we have no say in anything. I shall wait and see what happened over next few weeks then decide whether to keep our memberships.
Any other members on here got any thoughts on it?

Mon eh Saints etc

Aye well we defo got the day for it weather wise.

Talented lad who for me will make it at Celtic just hope it's Rogers who is manager next season for Lewis.  The fact he wanted St Mirren to get a fee and demand staying till the end of season to help win the league puts him in a bracket of real legends. Thanks Lewis will never forget that. 

We’ve seen many young players leave before really achieving anything tangible in the stripes. Many have left to try their luck down South. This kid has his head screwed on, and has a chance to really make it big, without having to leave home, or leave family and friends. He leaves us having helped secure a championship, and the last thing he did at home was to score the winner against Morton, before winding them up something rotten. He’s scored great goals, has contributed greatly.
I really hope he gets his chance at Celtic, shines, and like another true talent there in Kieran Tierney, becomes a Scottish international and secures a life changing move to the EPL. I am sure, absolutely certain, that if he turns out against us, this will be different from some players who join opposition teams and are jeered. He deserves, and I’m sure will receive, a warm welcome back.
A sixteen million pound move to Spurs or Southampton, Everton or Newcastle.
Pleasing. Thanks for the tangible memories Lewis, good luck at Celtic.

I would have preferred the open top on the Sunday, get another day oot it and another day of folk going into Paisley to spend. The players have 3 POTY nights after Falkirk, all buses except oors (stopped our do's years ago due to being let down time after time) so they will need to spread themselves oot a bit. I always gave out the trophies and the last one we had it was JACK ROSS that got POTY - well ye can imagine what I was like- never happened. After that we scrapped them, shame., bus that's just celebrated 60th anniversary.
Still we aw manage to have a good time  in Langs ourselves - its got beer, we can sing oor wee hearts oot - what more do you need. Tho I shall be joining the McGarry and Broon clan at Banky for a bit .......only one Tam McGarry

us W4 folk do sing..well some of us and I think it was my pal Darn that was doing Opera - it sounds like him tbh even tho I cannae rememeber. we here W7 but  not always loud and sometimes w4 and w7 are singing different songs.
Away games - defo more drunkness which can make folk sing or sing more.
ABSOLUTELY AGREE - with no feckin music at end of game. As soon as it came on Saturday I thought oh f**k off and let the singing take over. Kills it! nae need! get it aff!!!

I always have and always will miss Love Street.  The 4-0 celtic game was magic, end of last season RR and Ayr games were great BUT Tuesday night aye that was guid guid! Thing is Love Street will always be home but I am sat with the same guys at the new ground and actually more of our bus together now, decades of memories with the same crowd just in a different place now... all good
The Bull Inn, hadn't been in there in a long long time but popped in on Saturday for one... I also got a hug from an old uni pal. Tis the place for hugs obv - decent!

He'd be the first Celtic player that I would feel no specific ill-will towards. I really hope he tears it up for them. The way he's conducted himself this year is absolutely f**king exemplary.
