Isle Of Bute Saint Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Everyone is of course entitled whether they want to attend a game or not. Don't understand myself why something should stop you supporting your own team especially at home . If it's bigotry then supporting your team at home is a way of showing your against such minority groups. Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it exists again we all know that but have never felt threatened or took offence at our home games. My concentration is firmly on the football to see my team wining. As long as there is segregation when I can I will attend these games to support St Mirren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shull Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Shouldn't be segregation at a football match but thankfully there is. I will be there also. Quite a few Celtic fans tell me they are not bigots. I have never been to a match with them so I dunno. Although at St Mirren Park, in the past, it seems that the majority of their support are singing the not so good songs. I may be wrong.

As an example, I was at Given and will go to Parkhead only once this season. As a result I will lose out on an opportunity to watch my team play. At home, I will attend each match against all opposition including C and R as I want to see us at home playing the top sides in the country. Same logic.. Only loss if I don't go is mine IE. I miss out on the experience. Do I like the sectarian stuff from our Govan Friends? No. Do I enjoy listening to songs about political struggles in other places? Not really my thing. What I do enjoy is being there, supporting my team vocally and financially as they meet the big beasts. And.. Every now and then we get a win and I love it.

In fairness, unless I’m mistaken, on this occasion I think Ricky is merely saying you’ll be a loser in the sense that you’ve effectively paid for a ticket and you’re not going to use it. Maybe you should let someone have it who wants to go. If I was in Paisley I’d take it off you. Each to their own, but whenever I go to a home game against the OF, I certainly don’t waste any of my time or energy listening to the pish they spout. I’m fair to busy watching the game and cheering on the Buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be there to welcome the new manager and do my best to ignore the sectarian f**kwits at either end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russian Saint Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Now Post Stubbs era. New manager, big game ahead where last season Premiership Champions and Championship Winners meet for the first time and it's at our place. Less than 847 seats were available for the Home support to buy a few days ago. A number of these will be snapped up to see the first match under our new manager Oran Kearney and welcome him to the club. Celtic away support averaged over 3600 last season so if we all turn up there will be a full house. What a way that would be for the SM.SMF.SMFC..OK era to kick off. Magic. I can’t attend the game but hopefully I can watch it on Saints TV.There seems to be renewed optimism and feel good factor returning over the past couple of days since OK has joined us, plus that of names like Anton Ferdinand being possible additions. Getting anything from this game is a big ask but as long as we see effort and commitment from whoever plays, we can’t ask for more than that.Good luck to the Saints on Friday and to those (Saints) fans turning up. Do us proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trinidad ! Warmer than the Simple Digital Arena that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St.Ricky Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Sold Out Signs. St Mirren Active report on Twitter that the match on Friday is approaching a sell out.

St.Ricky Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Over 6000 there on Saturday against Hibs. Average now 5797 per Premiership Game. Next league game at home is Kilmarnock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always happy to be corrected. With luck we will climb a place or two by the time the Rangers game has been played. We are in 4th from bottom place with Dundee less than 200 per game ahead of us. Kilmarnock bring a good support and it is an attractive game with the Rangers one likely to match the Celtic crowd.

Ayrshire Saints Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Our average crowd is going to be massively skewed after the next two home games. Will bear no resemblance to where it will end up so pointless making comparisons at this stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
