    Born in Glasgow, early years in Dunfermline then brought up in Houston and now live in Kilwinning.

    I live in a small street and there are another 2 Saints fans living there. I also see a car from Stevenston that has a St Mirren badge sticker taking up the whole back window.

    Unfortunately still too many Rangers And celtic buses leave the town.

    that's my car buddie ,but it lives in saltcoats,just like me ,saltcoats born and bread ,everybody asks me same question ? why st Mirren,simple answer is I think im a glory hunter as in 75,76.77 we were nearer top of league than bottom and as a 7,8,9 yr old I was attracted to the hope we would be great forever,and I remember liking black and white stripes (my favourite English team who I picked about the same time  is west brom ,,yeah I know its navy and white but pretty similar ),anyway I have now passed my love of everything st Mirren on to my daughter who like me goes home and away ,although she now takes in u20 games as well ,am I actually a bad parent or will we maybe come good again in the hopefully near future

    No it doesn't.

    You only have to look through the past news to see that your statement is blatantly untrue.

    There was a statement on the 8th of September regarding the Hibs game.

    I don't think it's the website updating that's at fault..............................

    U20 Side: Next Match

    September 8, 2016 By admin
    SPFL - Feature

    The St Mirren Under-20 side are back in action again next midweek when they play host to their counterparts from Hibernian. The SPFL Development League fixture between the young Buddies and Hibees on Tuesday, 13th September will take place at the Paisley 2021 Stadium and it will kick-off at 6:00pm. For more news on the SPFL [...]

    that's not what I said ,it was the result of this game that took 2 days to go onto official site and that was the 1st thing on site since alex rae post match comments on sat night after game ,,so nearly 5 days with nothing new

    The site is actually updated very regularly compared to a lot of other sites of clubs our size.

     

    hold on div the official site is poor ,news is slow at best ,nothing changes for days on end very often,my example of last week is typical ,our u20 were top of league and playing hibs AT HOME no less and nothing was put onto site till Thursday afternoon when the game was played on Tuesday ,its seems like other things going on at club that nobody can actually be bothered to do anything

  4. seems that the fans council gang has got one of their own promoted to the board and have now got more inside info,thats all these guys really want anyway ,the folks who pay a monthly fee to keep the club going are just being used ,I know as a fee payer I have been asked my opinion on nothing ,just expected to keep up the direct debit while so called fans with the best interests of the club do everything to stop it making money ,while they assume they speak for the fans ,,,well wake up before it goes tits up

    I think reading around other posts across the forums my realistic expectations for the club I adore and now invest into monthly are as follows:

    a team that can competitively  compete in the league it is in

    a squad of players who give 100% every game for the badge - the fans - and the manager

    a kit deal with a company that is both lucrative for the club and respectful to the fans

    a facility within the club where all fans if they choose can get together for a pre or post match drink

    St Mirren as an organisation behaving in a much more efficient and professional manner eg getting the basics right such as replacing letters that adorn  the front of our stand when damaged in a reasonable timescale - sorting out hall of fame boards - having a functioning tannoy system - overhaul of the catering facilities to function in a way that all customers get a decent product without the lengthy queues 

    negotiating a good sponsorship deal with a company / organisation that reflects our growing or improving status in the community 

    not selling out to either of the old firm - or if it is such a financial necessity - keeping the fans informed and thus fans not speculating on the bones of the deal

    investing in the club academy with a view to an ongoing production line of fresh talent to be promoted into the first team squad 

    having been present at the Smisa event where I listened to Gordon , David , Tony and Alex all speak eloquently I want to see a charter of the short to mid term vision released to the fans and an input of new and creative ideas coming to fruition for the benifit to the club and community 

    finally to make my match day experience an enjoyable one with a team that I can be proud of and every so often gives me wonderful days like 17th March 2013 every so often

     

    great post ,agree with all you have said ,I would also just once like to see the stadium filled for the 1st time and probably only time ,because it would hopefully mean all your points had been addressed

  6. most folks on here have been saying since the club opened that £6 is a crazy amount to be asking folk to fork out to pay money and help the club out by buying drink before and after games ,but as usual the fans council say no even though they don't ever bother to ask the guys and gals who are actually paying for it every month ,,,,,then they have a brainstorm ,   bring a friend for free  wonder how   maybe because its not working and nobody actually going ,but still asking supporters who don't know a guy who knows a guy to pay £3 while its still 75%empty fans council ,,,bod,,,manager,,,team,,, its all looking very similar   BLEAK
