I was dropping off at the training ground today and it was looking great. I'm no expert on astro turf and was left wondering why a tractor was pulling a wooden pallet up and down the length of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be to evenly distribute the black pellets or to brush the turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some fans are happy to (shock horror) save the club they support money wherever they can. We pay a third of the surface with money that equivocates to about 7p a day for each person and we should expect to play on the pitch for free?

With the amount of money spent by supporters over the years , they should all get the opportunity to play on the Greenhill Road pitch for free . Also, a Testimonial Match especially dedicated to the Fans should be a given , maybe once every 10 years. Saints v Real Madrid or Barcelona or Man Utd, etc. It would be free entry as a major thank you to the fans for our unwavering support of the Club we love and pay for.

Same can be said for fans of every team. We’re no different, it’s just the way football has went. It’s all about money and that’ll likely never change again. Bigger the team you support, lighter your pocket. Clubs are not in a position to ignore any possible income streams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread was specifically started by you regarding increasing income if we had a synthetic pitch at the stadium. Now you’re saying we should let fans play for free and get rewarded with free matches against Man Utd. If you think that should be our reward, god knows what you think Man U fans should get for the extra money they fire into that club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A glamour Testimonial match every 10 years is not too much and fans getting a kickabout on the Greenhill Road pitch at home matches, say at half time would be a great gesture by our Club who we heavily fund at some outrageous prices.

HSS Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 £175 to play on a training pitch v a team of has beens is a joke. How much does it cost to play at SMP for Saints Aid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Man U, Barca or the likes without recouping any of the cost from ticket sales, aye good luck with that! As much as I agree football prices are shocking, they're still in line with other clubs at our level and way cheaper than following some teams. It's just the way it is, not practical to ignore an income stream because of it. Just a fact of modern football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be £30 soon for Admission to a St Mirren league match. Every Club in Scotland could decrease admission prices in 2 or 3 years time with suitable adjustments to their budgets. Most of the 40 Clubs could be part time and still more or less be in their same Division and league place. And a Testimonial match for fans every 10 years is not too much to ask for.

It would be a goodwill gesture to St Mirren Supporters not St Mirren Customers and I am sure the Club could take the hit once every decade. It's the least they could do to reward the Saints fans.

Our reward is to watch the team we support, if you don't want that, don't pay to watch them. No one is forcing you to. If you pay £10 to go to the cinema on a regular basis would you expect a game of laser tag with the Avengers every decade? They could and I would love if they did, even go as far as say I agree they should. But living in the real world, it's never going to happen (unless maybe if we got rid of the bigot brothers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren isn't and shouldn't be a typical good or service to purchase. Nothing will change with your shite attitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddies1877 Posted November 22, 2018 Report Share Posted November 22, 2018 Imo it’s a bit much to be asking for but we want a fan ownership club then money needs to come from the fans in as many ways as we can if you can’t afford it or just unwilling to pay it then don’t but if there is fans out there happy to pay it then good on them only benifits our club.

I was in Germany in October for Bayer Leverkusen v Hannover - 17 euros a ticket; great atmosphere; good game, 4 goals, a penalty (and save), VAR incident and sending off and a 93 minute equaliser. Oh aye, beer on tap in the ground, free transport to / from the game and club freebies handed out after the game. Scottish fitba, you can shove it.

For our £22 admission lots of things could be included along with being able to watch us being shite at football. Free transport to the match from anywhere in Renfrewshire. Free car parking Voucher given free at the gate to spend on drink and food at Pie Stall. Free Match Programme or Teamsheet. Goodies for children. Probably a few more things to get value for £22 admission fee. PRESENTLY ALL CLUBS IN SCOTLAND, INCLUDING ST MIRREN TREAT THEIR FANS WITH ABSOLUTE CONTEMPT AND LIKE SHIT.
