    Update: 13/03/17
    I've been deliberately quiet on this during the priority sale for season ticket holders. As mentioned previously, it's only fair that ST holders got their choice first. General sale opens tomorrow at 10am, so we're now good to go with our section. With huge thanks to Campbell Kennedy, we've secured seats together for those up for a party - ideally located behind the goals (slightly to the right)
    If you would like to join us - just ask the ticket office to sit in the "active" or "singing" section, (they'll know what you're on about) - and they'll give you a ticket in our part of the ground. We have space for over 200 buddies.  
    As for the flag display, Motherwell have kindly agreed to let us in early to set up. Also confirmed that our flags fall within stadium guidelines. If you can volunteer some time pre match to help set up - drop me a PM. I shall repay you in beer.
    This display does require mass participation. If you find a flag on your seat, wave it like hell as the teams come out. Keeping schtum on the specifics, but we think it'll show our club in a good light! 
    Any questions, feel free to ask (or PM)

    We're certainly not short of interest for places. 200 could sell out quite fast.

    Well done Doakes! Hats off to you and your buddies for getting this off the ground and doing your bit. I am sure you will get your 200 tickets for the singing section sold no bother.

    I will be in the main stand and looking forward to the display.

    PS Dexter was my favourite American TV show.

    As for the fans last night?
    800 odd turned up by the sounds of it.
    f**king magnificent backing of the team from first to last minute.
    Most stayed right to the very very bitter end.
    A few points of praise here.
    When we conceded goals there was no abuse from the stands that I could hear.
    When Billy panicked, nobody appeared to abuse him either.
    I think we all understood that the team had tried like hell but ran out of legs after playing Hibs and Celtic.
    That led to applause at the end despite the result.
    As the players thanked the crowd, someone shouted out "Don't give up" at the players. I won't lie, I had a lump in my throat. What a wuss I am. 
    One final note to mention was when one of the security guys appeared to attempt to stop someone (presumably Div) from filming. Immediately over 100 people around him closed rank and all started filming at the same time. Whoever you guys were, that was a f**king awesome display of solidarity. That sent a message alright. Football is OUR game. It doesn't belong to the SFA or the clubs. If we want to live stream a crappy quality feed through Periscope then we are going to do it. Brilliant.
    Great night. Great atmosphere. Shame about the result but within minutes I'd moved onto thinking about the next game. Sure the players will too.
    We are not going to win all of our games buds. Suck it up and move on.

    Hi Spoogy1
    No update to report other than what's in the OP, still early days. Not putting up pictures... But what we can tell you is that there will be a lot of flags involved

    The drums were great at Ayr. It was an old fashioned ground with terracing and standing up. We could all bounce about and sing away to our hearts content. It was just like the old days. If you were stuck in a seat with some drummer boy banging away in the seat next to you I could see it being a problem but at Ayr both the drums added to the atmosphere.
    Hats off to the Drum section of the NB Aggro. I also thought you did a sterling Job.

    Getting this back on topic. 
    After a lot of discussion and pondering, a plan is in place. We're placing the order asap, as most of our material will be coming from Poland. 
    As promised, I'll happily post up receipts, once rates have been agreed with the supplier. 
    A huge thanks to everyone who has donated. Honestly blown away by the generosity. Our group are determined to give everyone (even the doubters) something to be proud of. As a team on the way to fan ownership, I feel this is a great example of what can be done when our supporters come together as one. 
    Not giving away many details about the display. One thing we can confirm, it's not a card display. It also won't be a dig at our opponents. It's been designed to capture the spirit of our club. 
    This is by far the most ambitious plan we've ever put together. Anyone who wants to help can get in touch through Twitter, or via the email address below.
    Will update the thread as we go along.

    Everyone is welcome to join us. The fact that around half of the names we have are families with young children speaks volumes.
    That said, we don't want to spoil the day for people who don't want their view obscured by flags, so having our own section of a couple of hundred people makes sense.
    I can honestly say that once you see the display, you'll change your mind on it. It's unlike anything we've done before, on a totally different scale, thanks to the crowdfund. 
    There's no right or wrong way to support St Mirren, but everyone should have the choice to support the team in their chosen way. The fact that we want to sing, wave flags... doesn't make us any better or worse than yourself. I don't understand why you're so keen to put us down.
