insaintee Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 This is turning into a GREAT thread. I was thinking of attending a home game but not now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 Unfortunately Shull seeing as you try your best to start more threads than anyone else it is pretty difficult to avoid the ones started by you. I think even you might understand that until you open a thread you don't know who started it. Hundreds of people went to game today found there seat dirty moved to a clean seat end of story no big deal but not you. Ejaculated at prospect of starting another meaningless thread. More mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beyond our ken Posted July 26, 2015 Report Share Posted July 26, 2015 The big question is are the vomitory gents toilets snotters still there from last season? there are no toilets in the vomitories, which are the passage ways that lead from the front of the stands to the main under-stand concourse Unless, of course you can't make it from the stand to the concourse.

Big Yards Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Just a shame there's no atmosphere in the place! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the barrhead teacher Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 You need entertaining football to create an atmosphere- something lacking in 99% of games since we moved here!!! Decent crowd today, given about 5 or 10 minutes in the whole game to get excited. How many will be back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Just a shame there's no atmosphere in the place!Plenty atmosphere if we are creating chances, scoring and winning. Far louder than Love Street ever was with equivalent attendance. Couldn't hear North Bank from Main Stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 I hate this ground now due to having to share the west stand with teams with small support. A few hundred away fans treated better than 1200 home fans due to issue of space, or lack of it under the stand and toilets. Feel sorry for the fans in wheelchairs who have only 1 disable toilet between them due to the club believing saving a handful of pennies is more importance than looking after your supporters. My mate didn't even get into the west stand yesterday due to be told it was full Plenty of empty seats in W1 so feel they just ran out of tickets and couldn't be arse printing more. Thank to a saint employee and the stewards I was able to join him in the south stand for the 2nd half, but the experience at the start has already piss me off and what I saw on the pitch made it worst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you really are talking nonsense, Love st was a super atmosphere, the new ground is hopeless, Broadwood Stadium and more acoustics than our ground ffs.

shull Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 The atmosphere in the North Bank was great if one was in the middle of the North Bank. Otherwise, Naw. Even sitting at the Love Street end of the North Bank, the singing was barely audible. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 The singing from the West Bank is great and loud when it gets going. The Sons were in great voice yesterday and so are we when the going is good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlucifer Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) The singing from the West Bank is great and loud when it gets going. The Sons were in great voice yesterday and so are we when the going is good. Yer erse. The ground is as lively as a morgue, even at the best of times. When things were going well at the old ground you could feel the ground shaking. Edited August 18, 2015 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside Nipper Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Its been a few years now since the relocation. it ain't growing on me one bit. Tye new place is not a good experience from a football supporting perspective imo. The depth to the stands is way too shallow, low rows are limiting in viewing perspective and the exposure to wind is terrible. The good stuff, it's functional , it is clearly the correct capacity as in all the time since the move we have not sold out, it is liked by the media for its ease of broadcast enablement, its probably energy effiecient and compliant with current building regs, all good and relevant stuff. Its not home for me though , maybe newer generations will enjoy the place without having the option of default of comparison with the Love street ground, the walk via the Wee Barrel the Cosmo blah de blah, nostalgic nonsense. I know, just me , but a piece of the St Mirren fc I loved to support at games at Love street died when we moved, ironically on for a new life.

ADMITCHELL Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) I think it is a generational thing. If you grew up at Love Street then the new place is definitely not home and probably never will be, despite being better in terms of access and functionality. The same as those who attended before seating was installed hanker after those days of swapping ends and standing for the whole game. However my 8 year-old son who was never at Love street loves the new ground and will call it home as its all he's ever known.

Given it is a modern stadium, the current grounds falls woefully short in that regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BEN Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I think individual season ticket seats should be binned. I'm in W4 in a great seat but I think allocated seats are a nonsense for us. If I am going to a game and I can persuade 3 or 4 lads to come along, it means you can't sit together or else you give up your own seat and that leaves a space. It also doesn't allow for future generations. If I had grandkids(God forbid)it would mean me moving seat to take them which is no big deal really but only one seat would become available amongst my friends which I think would make it hard to sell. Why do we need specific seats for 2,500 season ticket holders in an 8,000 seater stadium. First come ,first served imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it is a modern stadium, the current grounds falls woefully short in that regard. You are right there. Apart from having to sit in the rain there is only 1 toilet is available for them in the west stand when it is being shares. I am surprise the fans and their carers are not complaining to the club about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
