Stu Posted July 5, 2022 Report Share Posted July 5, 2022 Is it now no longer a three monthly spend? I notice there's another proposal looking for support today which is the third one in what seems like a month or so. Not complaining if it has changed, just curious as to when it happened. The info may well be on this thread but I've missed it because I've blocked SMISA's equivalent of Nadine Dorries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazil85 Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 Latest spend vote. Seems to be the same as the trip voted on last year for the women's team, bar the price. As part of the 10% members pot you get the chance to vote for various projects presented to the SMiSA board. On this occasion we are asking you to vote to donate £4,500 to help the St Mirren women's the with the cost of flights for a pre season tour of Germany. The poll will remain open until 11pm on Tuesday 7th February and the result announced shortly afterwards.

Callum Gilhooley Posted February 1, 2023 Report Share Posted February 1, 2023 As I said last year when they requested similar - it’s a massive NO from me. Get your arses down to Tesco and do some backpacking , have a bucket collection at games and those who want to support this can do so - not just SMISA members or approach local businesses etc for sponsorship .

Now we have bought the club, I'd support giving every penny of the £12/£25 directly to the club to spend on developing the club on points such as youth development, stadium improvements and growing the fanbase. And if needed (under exceptional circumstances), paying down losses/ staff wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazil85 Posted June 27, 2023 Report Share Posted June 27, 2023 I know the three month terminology is probably dated now but here’s the latest spending requests from the members pot. I’m happy to vote yes for both. ‘SMiSA have been asked for 2 funding requests that require member approval, these are: 1/ The club have asked SMiSA for £15,000 to buy medical recovery equipment designed to speed up recovery time of players when they are injured. This includes a wireless muscle stimulator, muscle air bands, large ice machine for ice baths and strength and conditioning equipment specifically designed for players on rehab. 2/ We have been asked by Colin Bright for £5,000 for the pre match entertainment for kids. This figure will be matched by the club and will give younger fans some pre match entertainment throughout the coming season. Both requests require a simple yes or no vote’ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
