  1. I have a season ticket but I am honestly considering doing the shopping and sending the wife towatch the game.

    I say that but she'd kick seven shades of black mixed with white out of me if I even tried and I've had enough B&W knocked out of me recently by TC.

    Will think long and hard before deciding.

  2. Posted on the feeshal' forum that I am actually tempted to stick a fiver on us to win tomorrow - 0-1, penalty in 85 mins. It would just be so typical St Mirren. We're at the stage where you really think one more defeat could see a manager bagged.... so we'll pull one out the hat and he hangs on, for a bit anyway.

    Five spot on it... ICT 0 St Mirren 1. Penalty kick, 85th minute*....

    *Maybees.

    Say hello to Shull when you get there Poz!

  3. I'm not defending TC here, as I have zero knowledge about the inner workings of SMFC, sadly.

    But when someone refers to a place as no longer being 'a great place to work', it implies to me they previously got away with murder and don't any more. Maybe I'm cynical.

    Or....

    They were previously treated with respect but now.......unsure.png

  4. With a few exceptions there is little chance of making money out of a football club, with freedom of contract limiting the chances to make money from young players is limited, in Scotland only Falkirk & Dundee Utd. have been able to sell a player a season from their youth set-up.

    For a club of our size what is being sold isn't really the bricks & mortar of the stadium but the passion of the support us - I find it hard to believe that potential abuse on twitter is the real reason for any prospective buyer pulling out. If it was then s/he wouldn't last long and presumably we'd be up for sale within six months.

    As Doris Day said in the verse that was omitted from Que Sera Sera - GIRFUY!

    Unless the owners are savvy enough to employ people who see potential and tie those lads up quickly and with longevity in their contracts.

    It obviously is possible as some clubs, ala Hamilton and Dundee Utd do it with regularity.

  5. pod. The problem is we season ticket holders have paid for our product in advance. In my case x 3. However when you support s team its not about the "product" its a bug and you support your club forever and this like us on the forum will no doubt ccntinue to do.Whether Tommy goes now he will certainly be away in 18months time. Quite frankly with the dross we have been watching this season perhaps a season or two in the championship might be no bad thing and would give us the opportunity to rebuild

    The big question there though is,

    "Is TC's level as high as the championship or are we in danger of freefalling through the second trapdoor?"

  6. It doesn't matter where the figure came from.

    IF correct then the Board, (owners) are wholly to blame for the loss.

    If you don't listen to the customers who have, after all, gave plenty of notice re their disgruntlement, then you are bound to reap what you sow.

    It's not the fans who caused the loss any more than a customer causes a shop to make a loss when the shop sells shoddy goods not fit for purpose.

    Gone are the days of blindly following a team no matter how little the Board show signs that the fans are important.

    If money is the top, middle and bottom line then it is the only weapon the fans have.
