What's that got to do with anything , that kind of scenario happens the world over ? That kind of attitude is why Todd and Corson were too small-time for Fergie  , and the "we are all St Mirren supporters on the BOD" days are gone at most clubs forever. It was Gillespie who negotiated the deal to bring in SR , do you think it even crossed Robinson's mind that Gillespie didn't support the club growing up ? It's such a narrow minded outlook , much the same as Wardrop's , childlike even !

You were doing so well with just the wee reaction digs.
 
Oh well back to day 0 for you, addiction is tough. 

Partly because AW used his unsuccessful attempt to become part of the Smisa board to to criticise Kibble on the Smisa website  , his poor showing in the vote shows that most of the membership have no time for him . The longer this drags on , and the more the mud slinging goes on , then it's less likely AW will ever get his ban lifted , in my opinion of course !

As John Needham said tonight , the working relationship between Smisa and Kibble on the BOD is great , and the improvement in financial performance , turnover and the club in general is testament to that. AW is still the fly in the ointment here , because it appears that in his eyes , it's still all about him !

Well you’ve come onto this thread abusing him before he’s even appeared so what does that say about you?
FS (I assume that’s who you’re talking about as you seem quite obsessed by him) can be a contrary, argumentative and piss taking f**ker there is no doubt, but he’s far from the reason this forum has gone down the pan. 

Good luck to him, he’s done wonders for the club. A football team, flirting with relegation to the part-time leagues, to a top 6 SP club during his time on the board. Not to mention, the delivery of fan ownership. 
 
He’s had a lot of criticism from some over that time but no one can doubt that outstanding progress. 

You believe AW came out of that looking good? He was like a spoilt, petulant child throughout, at one point even refusing to hand over his microphone for a rebuttal to a question FFS.
The SMISA meeting is a cross section of 100 or so members and taken across lets say, very *specific* demographic of late middle aged men who seem to be on the whole, quite agitated and firmly of the belief that their way is correct and that's that. So it did appear that there was significant support for AW in that room.
However, proof of where the fan and membership interest lies in this entire situation is in the polling, so lets lay down some irrefutable facts here:
Approx 400 members voted in the recent elections - around 1/3 of the total SMISA membership. There were 5 candidates to choose from to elect to the SMISA board Alan Wardrop's statement garnered easily the most publicity, the most traction and was the most (to quote our pal Doakie) 'explosive' of all 5 member statements. A proper blockbuster they'd have you believe. Alan Wardrop's statement and campaign resulted in him finishing 5th placed among the 5 entrants and nowhere near winning a place on the SMISA board despite the publicity around it.
  From that, I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of the SMISA membership either don't see this as a large enough issue to bother voting on whatsoever (because you can bet your bottom dollar that an engaged membership would have taken the time to cast a vote on such allegations if they believed there was systematic wrongdoing) and the vast majority of the 400 who did vote, decided that AW is either not to be believed and/or not worth one of the two places on the SMISA board.
That should be the end of it really. A few shouty, grumpy old men are really all that's left of this. I don't trust AW, I don't trust his reasons for doing what he's doing, I don't trust him sitting on this for several months and I don't trust the explanation given for him sitting on it since February until now. It was a cynical move to get on the SMISA BoD and it has failed spectacularly. Him and his mouthpieces now need to sit down, shut up and accept that the large majority of supporters are not interested in their noses being out of joint over minor issues and are not willing to support or back them up on this.

Seek help.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the single most embarrassing forum post of all time. 

Oh, Alan....
 

Talking about yourself in the 3rd person should also be a crime.

He asked what the breakdown of the vote was to ban him. Unanimous was the reply ! 😆

If you mean the new league with Colts teams , no , it wasn't mentioned. No time , AW and his cringeworthy agenda made sure of that .

Club have a good relationship with Kibble , Everything has to be rubber-stamped by the BOD , so any interest in using club land for any other purpose has to pass at Club , and Smisa committee level. AW failed to be elected . Kibble have no interest in selling their shares.  

Forgot one 
The directorship (including the Kibble) lead St Mirren to their highest league finish in almost four decades & put them in touching distance of European football  

I’ll be accused of a bunch more things over the year, I’m sure. It’s the mentality of people like you to try & make it us Vs them. Be that the Kibble, SMISA, the club chairman or whatever the hot topic of the time is. 
 
You simply crave controversy & discontent at the club. St Moan loyal. 

Surely to f**k there can be no-one looking at that post and thinking 'yes, that's a good look for you Alan'.
Jesus cringing f**k

The fan zone is a great idea and the club would obviously benefit. IMO there's no place for an "independent" supporters club  , it just creates a them and us mentality. A fan zone , where everyone is registered by the club is clearly a better option !

Yet again at the bottom of the statement, all about blowing smoke up his arse.
I personally think the idea of a bigger fan zone is excellent and the sensory room is a great idea too.

Wardrop has been waiting his chance to get back into the club and execute his anti-Kibble agenda. He thought this was the chance he'd been waiting for , but he's f**ked up , and is now proving he is an arsehole who's in it for himself. "Mr  St Mirren" ? 🤣😆😂

If I wanted to convince everyone of how much I cared about the club, I would absolutely pose outside the stadium in my home top looking like I’d been sent to bed with a skelped arse and no dinner. 
 
I’d also make public that I was refusing to help the 240 paying members of a wee club I ran because of my own drama. 
 
Then, and only then, could I be Mr. St. Mirren. 

Was going to say that would be paying under minimum wage, but then we got done for that when the "great custodians" were in charge as well, so it's possible.

Apart from those outside the club who are  trying to get back inside the club ?

TBH no one outside of the club has the slightest interest in this nonsense.
Most Saints fans I know couldn't care less about it, as they have a life.

The highest league position in 38 years would suggest that the club is being run by people with at least a reasonable amount of competency. Indeed, the appointment of the manager was, according to SR himself, orchestrated by bogeyman-in-chief, Jim Gillespie: https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/scottish/stephen-robinson-on-why-sudden-morecambe-exit-doesnt-sit-well-but-st-mirren-statement-was-too-good-to-reject/41375577.html
When the previous board departed we we were in the bottom half of the Championship......
