esaciar Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Hi there, New to the boards - even though I've been skulking around them for a while now - and I wanted to introduce myself. I was born and raised in Northumberland and have lived here for my entire life so far. I met my wife about 8 years ago now and we struck up a conversation about Paisley - she was from the Brodie Park area and my grandparents were from the Seedhill area. I had always been proud of my roots - my grandfather had been a submariner, a shipworker and then a firefighter and my grandma had been a worker at the thread mill before they moved across to Northumberland. So I've always had that connection with Paisley. I've been offered a job in Glasgow and the wife and I have decided to move across to Paisley and settle there. It's an opportunity I am really looking forward to. My grandfather used to love St. Mirren and spoke about them all of the time - Cunningham, Knox, McGregor and Gebbie were some of the names that he had witnessed as a teenager. Sadly, he is no longer with us, but I have always had a place in my heart for St. Mirren because of him. Now that we're moving to the town, I've considered the possibility of getting a season ticket... So, I was just looking to introduce myself and make a few contacts. Cheers!

pozbaird Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 Before considering getting a season ticket, please answer the following questions truthfully and honestly. Is it all Cheesy's fault? Is the new scoreboard shite? Should the consortium lower their asking price? Is Jim Goodwin the anti-Christ? Are JD Sports on drugs? Is it all Cheesy's fault? Does Tommy Craig intend to be shown up by guys like Alex Neil all season? Will you set Dickson to ignore? Will you 'like' all my jokes, no matter how shite they are? Gus McPherson or Danny Lennon? At all times, do you promise to call 'Rangers' by their proper name? Please choose from 'The Rangers', 'Sevco 3058 Scotland', 'The Sevco Franchise', 'TCFKAR'. Is it all Cheesy's fault? ...welcome to the asylum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Don't waste your money on a season ticket mate Saint Mirren are crap . In fact that's an insult to the word crap there's no words to describe how bad they are . If you have any sense you won't even consider it.

esaciar Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Before considering getting a season ticket, please answer the following questions truthfully and honestly.Is it all Cheesy's fault? It's not ALL Cheesy's fault, but he is too inconsistent for my liking at times... Is the new scoreboard shite? It's a wee bit bigger than I am used to, but it looks like it'll do a job... Should the consortium lower their asking price? The morality and love of the new owners are more of a concern for me than the price they pay... Is Jim Goodwin the anti-Christ? No. He's a god among men.Are JD Sports on drugs? People who buy things from them have been known to be where I am from...Does Tommy Craig intend to be shown up by guys like Alex Neil all season? He doesn't intend to. Whether he will be is another question... Will you set Dickson to ignore? ?? Will you 'like' all my jokes, no matter how shite they are? I'll try, but I can't make promises...Gus McPherson or Danny Lennon? They were a 'team' that was better than the sum of their individual parts...At all times, do you promise to call 'Rangers' by their proper name? Please choose from 'The Rangers', 'Sevco 3058 Scotland', 'The Sevco Franchise', 'TCFKAR'. I call Rangers various things...

Welcome, I would hang fire on getting the season ticket though, Come along to some of the games, see if its your thing and take it from there. Also check out some of the Pubs in Paisley that are frequented by supporters, Like The Tile Bar, The Argyll, The Bull in etc. Hope all goes well with the job and move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've supported St. Mireen from afar for most of my adult life, so I can imagine I know what to expect...It'll be good to feel justified in having opinions. I'll feel like a legitimate fan!

Dont expect eveyone on here to accept opinions, but most of the folk on here are good. I lived just outside Newcastle ( a place called Forrest Hall) back in the 2002 to 2004. and used to sometimes go to St.James' Park to watch Newcastle play- Wasnt the same as St.Mirren but played in Black and White so wasnt all bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esaciar Posted August 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 The only problem is getting our house sold. It might be that I end up renting something in Paisley - a wee one bedroom job - before we make the move up permanent. The job doesn't start until January, so I've got plenty of time... Neilston Road is near the in-laws, but I'll need my own space and Well Street is near the stadium, which is cracking. They look the best options at the moment... Any thoughts?

Seen a few 'For Let' flats in the Sandstone Tenements on Love Street that don't look too bad, only thing is its near to where the stadium used to be. Tore it down but doesn't look like much is happening with the place. Even though Love Street was old, and parts of it a bit decrepit, I miss the place and it had an atmosphere that we just don't seem to have at St.Mirren park, apart from that its a nice, all be it, wee stadium Edited August 14, 2014 by Deekthebuddie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
