    Cairters_Corner reacted to TsuMirren in SMISA Annual Report 2018 email   
    I honestly believe that if SMISA came out and stated that the time frame could change (shave at least 2 years) or that £100,000 would be saved for a rainy day fund upon takeover (say approx 12.5K per year) then more may join/come back. Allow members to target their £2, create fund raising streams, get the club mentioning them (not just via a note to David) and open themselves up a little bit. Not everything needs to directly benefit the club, that's why the club have their own staff to do that. 
    "Stronger" when 100 extra is only £600 a quarter (is the club THAT poor) and additional £10 or £23 makes no difference to the time frame. That's the wrong message.

    As per The Holy Grail, it obviously depends upon your definition of peril. Gordon's never going to be questioned now, I literally can't think of one thing he could do within reason that the fans wouldn't support. As said before, fine if you're Chairman at a regular club. The other thing is, you and I as non-SMISA members shouldn't have been part of the debate anyway. Public meeting, secure web link, full presentation of finances and a vote on the night possibly extended to season ticket holders. But, even then, the second anyone says "this gives Jack more money" it's backed anyway and debate becomes redundant. 
    Personal view, not sure 100K is worth giving up a second stand for. You now have away fans entering from all four corners of the ground...just doesn't sit right on many levels, first one being safety.

    Would imagine we will be targeting players from whatever club is relegated from the Premiership. We need to be signing players with top flight experience.

    I was introduced to St Mirren back in the days when the Reserves played the mirror fixture to the 1st team......at 3pm on a Sat!!!!They got no bad crowds at them,travelling to away games wouldn't have been easy so just pop down to LS.
    I must have been 7 when I realised we actually played away games too.
    PS....Reserve games were given a match report in the Sat night Times and Citizen.
    PPS....Sorry if I sound like Ricky.

    Just wait to the W7 boys experience the policing in the lead up to and the actual OF games. Through no fault of their own they will be targeted for strong arm policing. 
    Given this decision to screw one set of fans over I very much doubt the board and the fans reps will have the backbone to stand up for them either. 
    One town one team, we are on our way......until the OF come calling.

    F#ck pandering to the ugly sisters - give them the away stand and that’s enough. Their games against us will be on tv anyway so most of them will watch it in the boozer anyway

    Agreed.
    It would have been relatively straightforward to consult SMiSA members and ST holders. Out of courtesy if nothing else.

    Why were SMISA members not consulted on this at the very least?
    How about trying to boost season tickets sales and looking at other sources of income through stand and stadium sponsorship?
    SMISA agree to part-fund the 3G pitch at Ralston dipping in to ring-fenced monies and don’t get a say on our matchday experience!!

    So why have we made no effort to promote filling them?

    Last season, a lot was made about the benefits of selling additional West stand season tickets.

    It was responded to and worked well.

    Not one attempt has been made to build the support for the forthcoming season.

    Fergie and his megaphone come to mind!

    We are not tapping in fully to the potential of the new season.

    Apparently this will be returning to replace the U20 Development League next season. Don’t think it’s been confirmed yet though.
    Hopefully 1930/1945 kickoff times and games played at St. Mirren Park. Thoroughly enjoyed Reserve football at Love Street- only time I ever sat in the Main stand.
    Saints also won the Reserve league West in season 1995-96.

    Does anyone else think the respective videos/DVDs mean 99/00 is more fondly remembered than 05/06 as well? Nobody really wants to watch Kirk Broadfoot's detailed description of his pre match routine again, but 50 mins of Yardley goals, Dougie Vipond and rock guitar? Yes please!
