I’ve earned the right to pass on an ST and to berate a god awful manager . It's obviously up to you what games you attend. Absolutely no problem with that. I'm not really sure how you can judge and come to the conclusion that Stubbs is "a god awful manager " though? You do realise we've played 2 league games, winning one of them don't you ? Have you given every Saints manager the same amount of time? 4 Buddie Marvelous, faraway saint, Radar and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are the one in the know would never dispute that fact. I wrote we are trying ( TRYING ) to sign Ryan Christie. That is a fact whether he signs is another matter but we have made contact with Celtic regarding said player. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oaksoft 9,582 Report post Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) 4 hours ago, St.Ricky said: Simple pod. Anyone with an interest in St Mirren and who follow their fortunes are fans. My take is straightforward .. fans interest level can vary...e.g. not all fans are on the Forum. Doesn't matter. Fans who respond to their interest and use their available financial resources to purchase services which build the revenue and infrastructure of the club are also supporters. Doesn't make them in any way superior. The club is seeking to grow the fan Base knowing that this will translate into more revenue when growing numbers of these become active supporters. Clearly there will be a number of fans who for personal reasons don't or can't make the change to contributing revenue to the club. Doesn't make them less of a Fan. You are trying to discretise something which is a continuum and you are tying yourself in knots as a result. That is the fundamental flaw in your argument right there. Not everything needs a label.
