The restriction on the numbers confirms why the fitting out of the last part of the main stand will not go ahead,it will only accommodate 200people, ie an elite I have no doubt those attending will enjoy the experience but with the cash we could have permanent tv screens and heaters under the west stand and still have money to give to the youth academy. Remember the money spent on a banner and the golf outings that hand over more money to the golf club than they give to the academy. After this game it's back to cold grey concrete , but not for some others, but if it is a success , Peter Lawell etc will push for us plans to be allowed to drink

The time to do something was at the AGE but those present bottled out.Only the chairman of SMISA voted against the 're election of the Directors, the rest of you sat on your hands ,so don t come on here and moan about the board,it's too late.

Mr Gilmour does not like to discuss Douglas Street Ltd, but note on page 17 of the accounts, they are the parent company ,ie ST Mirren FC are just a subsidiary

Their duty under the companies act is to promote the success of the collective body., not majority shareholders, to do so would be a breach of the companies act, ie a criminal offence Some of the Rangers ex board are getting looked at under these duties

Conflict of interest?

Curious item in the accounts, interest charges of 9 k ,what is this for, who is getting this interest? The only loan in the accounts is to SMiSA and they are not charging interest . Can somebody ask at the AGM

One little office has been built ,used by WAGs on match days, plus toilets and kitchen,maybe someone could ask at the AGE who uses the office and how much income it brings in?

I am not a lawyer but I believe our directors may have a conflict of interest , as directors of Douglas Street, the company that controls the 52 percent it's not in their interest to invite investment into St Mirren FC through a new share issue as that would reduce their share percentage, but these same directors,based on the latest figures St Mirren accounts SHOULD be issuing new shares to get investment into the club . As I said I am not a lawyer ,any out there care to comment?

The Fans Council , which composes of 17 people ,were set up by the club and support the club's ideas,they were set up instead of a Supporters Liason Officer as required by UEFA regulations,ie another cheap option. The SMISA guys are a democratic outfit of several hundred people who pay in every month , who provided the most finance for the dome,are major sponsors of the Youth Academy, have shares in the club, have joined with the club to reduce the cost of the panda club etc etc . Entirely different outfits

It's really simple and this board constantly reject it ,sell new shares in the club.It may only produce 100- 200k but that would be enough to get us a striker and get us out of the mess we are in. This should be raised at the AGM

This company was closed down in 2019, their registered office was a council house in Feegie Park!

Fantastic us plebs who invest a million quid every year into this club will, well might if they get a license, be able to get a drink before a game.We have to pay of course unlike our directors. You have to register as only 150 people can be accommodated ,so will we be restricted to time or number of beers? Are we really asking people to buy raffle tickets for a booze tent that may not happen , has no one taken on board the need for food banks and winter is on its way!!!! Is this the best we can do????

Feel free to boo the fat controllers so called music

The panda club got the singing going ,but had to give up as the fat controller played his music,then the singing section tried to start before the game,but again the fat controller played his music. You have no chance of getting an atmosphere going until we have this music stopped at least 10 mins before the start of the game , but no one will tell this guy to shut up.

fact , every shareholder with more than 1,000 shares have been made an offer, but they cannot reveal who they sold their shares to,all very secret

Yes

This is happening now , so why the secrecy , who are the buyers and why would anyone spend 2 million quid to buy us ? If something seems to good to be true, it usually is! The scenario we are seeing has been played out numerous times in takeovers down south and has led to disaster for many clubs , what occurs is 1) the secret buying of shares by some unknown or traceable finance / holding company or hedge fund 2) once 75percent is achieved ,the club's articles are changed and the money borrowed to buy the club is added to the club's debt.Remember SG only wanted proof of funds,nothing else. 3) Assets are sold and leased back to the club. 4) The club are charged for advisory or management services 5) Debts pile up,they have their money back,they have the assets,they walk away. If you have to sell shares sell them to SMISA now !

Does this mean we do not need to listen to the fat controller playing what he thinks is music?

Somebody out there is trying to buy up the 23 percent that combined with SG 52 percent would give them carte blanch to do with the club's assets This is no good news Another Murray International scenario

At the SMISA Q&A Tommy said that he took on board the fans points on the poor form at set pieces, ie corners and free kicks and we should see something better at the game on Saturday. He was a brave man to turn up with no wins to date and I believe he will drive it home to the team we must see improvement. It was a good turnout from the fans , could have been even better if the so called "fans "council had also turned up instead of having a meeting in an adjacent room. But then again maybe they think , on behalf of the fans ,that everything is going well on the park

As I have said before numerous times the board have continually knocked back investment from the 49 per cent shareholders to buy new shares meaning the money would go into the club, not into their pockets, so we could afford some decent players. I have nothing but admiration for the job Brian Caldwell is doing to cut costs and get extra income in, but he does not need to if the board would put up new shares for sale

You are a clown that's just cost us and every other club 100k that we would have from EUFA

I look upon this as either continuing to rent our country from Westminster , they doing all the maintenance etc or we can buy , taking out a mortgage , oh and asking them to remove the shot called strident from our back door. Taking out a mortgage and being responsible for your own repairs can be a risky business ,but would you really got back to renting?

I said last year the club was stagnating ,now we are in decline due to a lack of investment. Using mean giving the board money for their shares ,that goes into their pocket, but issuing new shares that means the money going into the club to invest in decent players,better scouting, increased hospitality, increasing revenue. In the past we could have bought the full back Robertson for 60k , but we did not have the money! SMISA and other shareholders have tried to invest this way but the board have knocked it back, we are now seeing the results of this, no real hope of reviving the club, and our best players deserting a sinking ship. THE BOARD MUST ACCEPT INVESTMENT NOW

Never mind the away strip, now we have BLUE training gear and polo shirts , unbelievable
