Right....just means we have two shitty sides to aim for now rather than one. Win tomorrow and we're actually in a better position than we were on Saturday...

I think we now have 2 absolutely pish teams to aim at. Ayr and Raith can be caught. They are both honking.

Any older buds able to identify the three guys in the middle of the front row of this pic?
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
Other players are:-
 
 

 
Lapsley, Mallan, Lornie, Neilson, Telfer, Johnstone
 
 

 
McGill,    ??,   ??,   ??,   MacLeod.   
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
Mallan = Jimmy, great grandfather of our current star Stevie.
 
 

 
MacLeod = Ally of Argentina '78 fame
 
 


 

Everyone is welcome to join us. The fact that around half of the names we have are families with young children speaks volumes.
That said, we don't want to spoil the day for people who don't want their view obscured by flags, so having our own section of a couple of hundred people makes sense.
I can honestly say that once you see the display, you'll change your mind on it. It's unlike anything we've done before, on a totally different scale, thanks to the crowdfund. 
There's no right or wrong way to support St Mirren, but everyone should have the choice to support the team in their chosen way. The fact that we want to sing, wave flags... doesn't make us any better or worse than yourself. I don't understand why you're so keen to put us down. 

You were moaning that you didn't want it happening near you or having a banner over your head so they have organised to have it in a specific section so it's easy for you or others to avoid. Now you're moaning about being told where to sit.. they are going to be a section of about 100 people in a crowd of thousands of Saints fans its hardly a huge inconvience to you. No-one at any point in this thread has insinuated that people who aren't into the banners/flags/drums or whatever are any less of proper fan so stop being an arse.

Happy to support this as much as we can lads, good effort!
Have made a donation on behalf of the website.

Wish I could be there pity we don't have a bus service that come fro Nz

Just made a donation to the fund page every wee bit helps ..............
Made a plea though to the team to Please retain league status and push on......I fear what may happen should the horror of relegation come upon us....so lets all get behind the team in the league games and save our Club the Ignominy of this horrible thought.... Forever a bud come what may and Come on ye saints

As some of you may have seen on Twitter, a group of us are arranging a cup final display. 
These things take up a lot of time and effort. We've had mixed success with these in the past, but confident we know what we're doing this time around!
We've made up a gofundme page, if you could spare a couple of quid, it would really help us to buy materials. 
Would appreciate any comments, advice, suggestions or questions to get this show on the road!

Update 1, 21st Feb:
- first batch of material ordered
- help required, if anyone has a talent for art and can spare a few hours, please get in touch 
- [email protected] 
 
 
Update 2, 24th Feb:
Have collected just under 150 names of people who want to join us for the display. Speaking with ticket office to ensure that we have our own section of the stadium (not restricting view for other supporters). St Mirren have given us information regarding safety etc. No issues.
Crowdfund figure, £360! Thank you to everyone who has been kind enough to help. 
 
 
Update: 13/03/17
I've been deliberately quiet on this during the priority sale for season ticket holders. As mentioned previously, it's only fair that ST holders got their choice first. General sale opens tomorrow at 10am, so we're now good to go with our section. With huge thanks to Campbell Kennedy, we've secured seats together for those up for a party - ideally located behind the goals (slightly to the right)
If you would like to join us - just ask the ticket office to sit in the "active" or "singing" section, (they'll know what you're on about) - and they'll give you a ticket in our part of the ground. We have space for over 200 buddies.  
As for the flag display, Motherwell have kindly agreed to let us in early to set up. Also confirmed that our flags fall within stadium guidelines. If you can volunteer some time pre match to help set up - drop me a PM. I shall repay you in beer.
This display does require mass participation. If you find a flag on your seat, wave it like hell as the teams come out. Keeping schtum on the specifics, but we think it'll show our club in a good light! 
Any questions, feel free to ask (or PM)

Welcome aboard Pondsman, am a knew guy too.. believe I was at the cross in 59 age 2.. so we became buddies the same day lol,, Good post mate joined too because there was to much doom and gloom on here from the same culprits week in week out, as fans we have a role to play just like the team and coaching staff,, together we can make this happen,, lets here yous and see yous saints fans COYS

I think St. Ricky's prediction of 25 points is overly optimistic and Shull's prediction of relegation by Raith Rovers is overly pessimistic. The truth lies somewhere between the two and I believe we can stay up if we take it one game at a time and get behind Jack Ross and the team. The teams we are competing with for survival (Ayr, Dumbarton, Dunfermline, QoS) are not that much better than us in terms of their squads and the players we have brought in this month give some cause for hope. Let's get right behind Jack Ross and the team and see what happens.
Please be gentle with me. First post on the forum though I've been reading the posts for some time and a Buddies fan since the 1959 Cup Final.

This is a sound idea that needn't cost a lot. For example, in the home concourses at Celtic Park they have affixed to the walls frames that take newspapers. They have been filled with the newspaper reports of famous Celtic wins. I was using someone's ST to watch us get thumped there back in our top flight days and stopped to read some of the reports at H/T. I have kept a collection of our cup final win newspaper reports, pretty sure lots of Saints fans have too. Maybe the Fan Council / SMiSA could look into the possibilty of affixing something similar within the home stands, and ask fans to donate suitable material to insert into them.
Get those HoF panels tae' f..... 

Our stadium m is perfect for our needs and requires minimum FM maintenance.

'Great' Ideas like painting the concourse blockwork are where the problems start.

Once you've done it once, you need to continue to do it every 5 years or so until eternity, at great expense. Otherwise the place starts to look obviously filthy.

It is unnecessary, unaffordable etc...

By all means get Poz to design a few more pictures though.

Edit: BinEK beat me to it

Our stadium is awesome.  Far better than what we had previously.  Yes we all have fond memories of Love Street but it was a decaying relic of a bygone era.  I don't have to walk up an incline to get there, my seat is reasonably comfortable, I can see the entire pitch (unless a certian little runt with stupid hair chooses to stand up for no apparent reason) without any obstruction from a support beam, we have a supporters bar where we once had bugger all, we have a dedicated car park where we once had bugger all, we have undersoil heating that we cannot afford to run and  you can urinate on a wet day without getting rained upon!
 
Come on folks get a grip of yersels, the stadium is cracking it is just the product on the park that is rank!
