Yes that's true David. SMiSA were contacted about running a Saints Aid again this year though and my guess is in ordinary circumstances we would have done so, but unfortunately due to a combination of time constraints and personal circumstances making people unable to commit their time to organising it, we simply weren't in any position to take it on. What Slash has said about past events is sadly accurate. As someone who has helped out with the auction in past years I was raging about the manager issue that year, and massive thanks have to go to Ricky & Steven for agreeing to step in at little/no notice. Even last year we were presented with a bizarre combination of shirt numbers despite folk bidding on specific ones and for a worrying amount of time, no-one knew where the balls were. This was added to not being able to do the post-match presentations in the hospitality lounge for, if memory serves, no great reason - instead being left with the players lounge (just a small room which about 40 people were trying to cram into). If there were problems at this year's event then it really wouldn't surprise me given past history but hopefully the club will learn from any such mistakes and look to put them right in future for everyone's benefit. All in a fans game is a great event with everyone winning out of it and the positives far outweigh any negatives there might be.

Just on Saints Aid so that everyone is aware and in no doubt - that was basically agreed by both parties. Unfortunately we weren't able to commit to doing Saints Aid this year so the club decided to run the fans game event in-house instead. At a personal level was glad to see the club do that as it is something of an easy hit to raise money for Youth Development & hope everyone that played in it enjoyed it.

We always have. Good to get as many people voting as possible.

From http://www.smisa.net: Get voting people!

As posted in the SMiSA section a short time ago and from the website:

From SMiSA.net: Wilbur - it was a frustration that the vote couldn't be ratified sooner. For the avoidance of any doubt all votes in the trust require a turnout threshold (I believe for this vote it was 50% if memory serves) to pass any vote whether for or against a given motion (or carry through any of the 3 options in this one). Failure to get that first time out was what necessitated going back to the membership.

Wilbur, Confirmation of the vote will be given over the next week or so. The first vote simply didn't get enough responses, which was seriously disappointing considering what we're talking about.

Happy to confirm that Saints Aid is going ahead this year Clicky

Sorry Wullie, not on this as much as I used to be. Hopeful that there'll be a Saints Aid styled event this year, though it may be a bit different to the previous format. Watch this space...

Amazingly the 4th one that wasn't pictured!

Just want to ask quickly if anyone on here knows either of these two chaps - looking to get updated contact details for them so the trust can contact them. If anyone does, please drop me a PM. Cheers.

Thanks for that iTunes tip buddie, much obliged - helped no end.

According to the properties it's mpeg-4 audio format... Incidentally have heard of (and used) converters which extract the audio layer from a video (like from youtube), converting the soundtrack to mp3 however...

Hi folks. I'm looking for a little program for the above to convert some stuff downloaded from iTunes to shove on my PS3 for in-game music as said game (annoyingly) doesn't like mpeg4 tracks. There's a few links on google which look plausible but I'd be happier if someone on here could recommend a good program to avoid the inevitable dodgy downloads? Anyone able to help?

Just read today's PDE - piece on the service is in it (p3).

It was indeed a fantastic turnout. Was really taken aback when leaving - didn't realise that some folk didn't even get into the building at all. Saw Tom Nicol from the PDE taking photos before the service, so I expect a feature will be in it at some point soon. First humanist service I've been to as it happens - liked it. Couple of fitting tunes and good words as has been said. RIP Derek - hope you've got a good view in Love St up there mate.

Yeah they did John - heard them loud & clear @ HT.

Can't really say it any better than that Mond. It's a great gesture...well done David & Billy.

I can only echo that sentiment.
