Welcome Paul
(Also I am aware it's a large G but the editor won't let me change it....)

Norrie has run the story on the official site for us too
http://www.saintmirren.net/pages/?p=15623
Have also asked the PDE to run a wee blurb on it.
Brian Caldwell has also been very accommodating and has offered as half time at any home game to do the presentation of the medal.
We are a truly brilliant club with a brilliant support when we are all pulling in the same direction !

Exactly right. If enough others had taken the time and effort to get involved like Div, then this 'fans takeover' may actually have taken place.
I think you deserve enormous credit for your efforts Div, especially as your only motivation was the best interests of the football club we all support.

Well, I'd like to thank you for your efforts Div. Whatever some might say about others who were involved in trying to drive this forward, I reckon your motivation was commendable, and your efforts worthy of recognition. it seems to me that you were championing the concept of supporter involvement, and, for that alone, you deserve credit from where I'm sitting.
It's easy for people to sit in front of a computer and snipe on online forums, without actually trying to do anything positive and practical to advance their own preferred scenario. Talk's cheap, and posts on internet message boards are even cheaper. Fair play for using your personal time and resources to try and secure what could (all other things being equal) have been a very positive outcome for this club (and likewise the others who did similar).

We are going to sleep on putting a full statement out tonight but will say this for just now.
We made the very best offer we thought was both Sustainable and deliverable of £1.25m.
We based the value and the structure of the bid based on the Commitments and Finance that we had.
It is obviously extremely disappointing to have had our bid rejected especially having gone through the whole process of raising the fabulous level of support from the Fans for a second time having missed out by such a narrow margin the first time around.
Thanks again to all those (both those for it and against it) that engaged in the process and the debate.

We will make a statement this afternoon after we have had a chance to consider the rejection of this offer.
Obviously there are a lot of disappointed folk who backed us and we need to take stock.

Vanzy is sure to bang in 25 plus now... don't spend it all at once.

I think that's a decent point. I mean, as a fan, there's not much you can do apart from fill out the form and commit to so much money a month. The only way to do more would be to volunteer any kind of skills you had to help them out but most people just don't have the time for that.
