One team town, no violence ever at SMFC games, and these cretins won't let you have a Saints scarf sitting on your table. About time such establishments were named and shamed and the significant community of drunkards that follows our club removed all business from them. Not angels are Saints as one Buddie above abuses a local Company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My aunt asked the other customers in the pub if they minded her wearing colours and not one said yes so needless to say she drank up and left and will never be back in. Perhaps yer Aunty should have taken her top off.......................................................then again.....................maybe no.

On both occasions we were "asked" to put our scarves away and my son's boy told to cover up his Saints T shirt We don't go there anymore I have no quarrel with your point sir, no quarrel indeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambud Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 You should be allowed anywhere in Paisley wearing a saints top. In fact it should be compulsory. I had breakfast in Glasgow on Sunday morning and one our table had a saints top on and he was welcome. He actually got congratulated!!

Isle Of Bute Saint Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 St Mirren league win to be celebrated with open-top bus parade Thousands of people will party on the streets of Paisley when St Mirren's SPFL Championship winning side are honoured with an open-top bus parade through the town centre. Thousands of people will party on the streets of Paisley when St Mirren's SPFL Championship winning side are honoured with an open-top bus parade through the town centre. Renfrewshire Council is marking the Buddies' return to the top-tier of Scottish football by staging the large-scale outdoor celebration event on Saturday 21 April. St Mirren mathematically confirmed the title on Saturday after a 0-0 draw with second-placed Livingston means they can now no longer be caught. That means the league trophy will be presented next week on the pitch immediately after their last home game of the season - against local rivals Morton - which the parade will follow. The open-top bus will leave the Paisley 2021 Stadium before 7pm and travel through the town centre, to a specially-erected stage in Bridge Street, behind Paisley Abbey, around 7.30pm. There, fans will be able to greet their heroes, with short speeches for the crowd from key figures from the club as they show off the trophy. Before the team arrives, DJs from Pulse FM will be keeping the crowds entertained with St Mirren-themed songs and entertainment. The bus will arrive in the town via the west end, with fans encouraged to see the team travel along the following route: High Street (at Paisley Museum), Storie Street, Witherspoon Street/New St (past Paisley Arts Centre), Causeyside Street, St Mirren Brae, Gauze Street, Cotton Street. Renfrewshire's Provost Lorraine Cameron - who will help host the event - said: "We want to congratulate St Mirren on a wonderful season and are delighted the council is able to stage this event so the people of Renfrewshire can honour their team. "I am sure the streets of Paisley will be full of celebration on the 21 April and I am looking forward to being there for what will be a great atmosphere and a wonderful occasion." St Mirren chairman Gordon Scott added: "We want to thank Renfrewshire Council for organising this event to allow the people of Paisley - whether hardcore fans or not - to see the team and trophy. "St Mirren are - and always will be - at the heart of the Paisley community, so it is fitting we get to celebrate a memorable year for the club and celebrate together as a town." For more event information and to keep up to date on all local events, visit www.paisley.is The St Mirren celebration event will be the first of two weekends which will see the area around Bridge Street and Abbey Close packed with activity - with the Paisley Food and Drink Festival to take place one week later.

alwaysabuddy Posted April 18, 2018 Report Share Posted April 18, 2018 Just watched a video on youtube of the team celebrating in Bankhouse after Saturday's game and a good watch it was. Can't help thinking though that 4 clubs have run buses throughout the past xx years leaving from Court Bar, Tile Bar, Brewers Tap as well as the CW club from Bankhouse. Would it not be an idea for SMFC to acknowledge all the travel clubs and organise players visits to each of these hostelries ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
