  1. Wow, what a load of moaning. They're giving away 2 tickets for a fiver. You have the option of sitting next to your mate if you pay a wee bit extra. Not everyone in Paisley has money - I'm sure a few folk will be pleased to give 2 mates a cheap day at the football For feedback - since the club are obviously reading this forum at the moment, a better initiative might be to open up the 2 stands behind the goals - cash gate - £2.50 a ticket. First come first served, if (big IF) it fills up before you get there, you need to pay normal price for the main or west stand. Make your money back on selling flags/scarfs/pies/drinks etc inside the foyer. Make it feel like an occasion.
  2. Lower ticket prices Introduce alcohol in grounds More emphasis on selling club merchandise/food/drinks on match day Free tickets for local schools, reid kerr & UWS Improve matchday experience. Flags/clappers etc for young fans (Leicester do this well) Mascots giving out sweets etc at half time Hand out free tickets to scheme weans, run buses from different parts of Paisley to the ground on match days (a kinda Bingo bus/Asda bus idea)
  3. Would be very surprised if Rae had a go. He'll attempt to frustrate them, get men behind the ball. Feed the Shank and we might nip an upset
  4. B365 offering 10-1 on a Saints win. 6-1 for the draw...
  5. I like BT Sport, but Michael Owen is enough to make me consider watching something else.
  6. It’s easy to buy into a summary of events, rather than listening to what Rae actually said. Must admit I wasn’t keen on the guy at first, but there’s no denying he has a certain quality about him. The combination of Rae and Farrell seems to be well trusted. Rae the more vocal of the pair, with a strong idea of where he wants to take the club. Farrell is a bit of a silent assassin, fully behind Rae and clearly knows his way of thinking. The dynamic in the dressing room must be entirely different now. Players know that if they don’t perform, Rae and Farrell won’t hesitate to swing the axe. Got to have respect for that no nonsense approach. Messrs Gow, Howieson and Agnew might be on a shaky peg come summer. Impressed by his approach to the first team. Football is a results business. Winning brings confidence, confidence brings good football. “Tippy tappy pish” at the back has never impressed me at St Mirren, but I do like to see fast, direct football going forward. I don’t believe Rae means he wants to play hoof baw – rather, he just feels that direct football is the way to get results in this division. It’s difficult to disagree with him on that. As for the development team, there is an argument to be made that it’s not ideal preparation for the first team. But every team is in the same boat with no B team or reserve league in Scotland. Hope he doesn’t attempt to change the way our development squad plays as I feel this could damage our tremendous reputation for bringing through young talent. Overall, very impressed! Hope to see his words translate on to the pitch.
  7. Morton v St Mirren is still classed as a "catergory A" risk match by the authorities. So we're a "risk club", apparently
  8. Not sure if anyone is familiar with the world of buzzfeed, but you get some entertaining articles on there. St Mirren get a wee mention in this one.. http://www.buzzfeed.com/richardbeech/soup-of-the-day#.ga88ZJ3Lo
  9. It doesn't matter how you win, as long as you do Winning is habitual Keep winning ugly, keep the pretty wins for later
  10. Buttered them up good and proper today Finally spreading our wings
  11. "I'm not 100% sure on the offside rule but I think that was onside" - St Mirren Radio I love this guy.
  12. I made a noise like Gary Neville when the 2nd went in tbf.. Work colleagues know better than to question it by now
  13. Think the lad on the radio is reading this thread btw. There he goes with the "buttering the goal" comment again
  14. You've taken that too far, ya knob of butter
  15. Sounding like Shank and Clarkson beginning to form a bit of a partnership already, got a good feeling about those 2. Gallagher having a good game too? Would hook Howieson, put on the new boy on the left wing. Lets see what he can do
  16. "Rocco Quinn, probably the goal on eez mind"
