Are you really so thick that you think, on selling next season's tickets, St Mirren will suddenly decide to charge full price for the family stand in the hope they fill it? Sorry. Rhetorical question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Well... Opinions are opinions. I'm simply suggesting that ,were we to have a decent season this time, then we have an opportunity to change the dialogue. Sell out the main stand and west stand - around 4,400 tickets I think. Why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Pityme Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yeah looking like the best decision ever, ever to give the bigots two stands and tell families and kids you're not welcome at SMP. I wonder if it will just be explosives that get thrown at our keeper a week Sunday? Still our board will get to toast the Queen in the boardroom again when they are back at their big teams ground.

proudtobeabuddy Posted August 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 If ever we needed proof that's it's not worth the money giving them 2 stands just look to yesterday when RA PEEPUL trashed the disabled area because they scraped past Killie....

Totally agree, give them one stand. But I for one would never take my boy to an old firm game at home because of their behavior and I'm sure plenty others do.

Reasons - They were local, they had an exciting young manager and played attractive football. That was around 1975. My sons and now my grandson go still - we have an exciting young manager and the last few seasons have been memorable to say the least. I wouldn't allow myself to react to the sets of fans you mention by not going along to watch my team playing at home. Just my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is this yet another fabrication? It's not about the club not welcoming families it's about allowing the bigots both ends behind the goals despite their behaviour. I think those saying they stay away is because it's became even more poisonous an atmosphere at home games when they're in town. Doesn't stop me going but i can understand why a lot of people with families choose to miss the game, perhaps not discouraging future fans in the process but definitely not encouraging.

Broken record yet again. Where do the board ask why fans choose not to attend these fixtures and how do you explain more home fans at a celtic fixture last season than a Killie one within the space of a fortnight? More lies and spin for a point that's been labored for far too long now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turn up in sufficient numbers over the season and buy out the family stand through season ticket sales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do know that there needs to be something organised first before it can be cancelled. Ticket price, exactly the same as last Novembers game against Rangers. And you wonder why folk say they don't trust what you say or write. Thats a laundry list of shit appeasement right there, even by your standards. is the Panda club and pre-match entertainment (not the marching flute band) happening..? NO. is it £5 more for an adult home ticket than the Aberdeen game, Yes... some peole,just cant handle the truth, we are run by the old bigots! What they want, they get. Even re-badging the stadium.

suedehead Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 ..... My shifts at work determine which games I can attend these days. ...... I'm free to go to the next home game but I definitely won't be in attendance though, and nor will my young daughter. .......... Two home fans who would normally attend but won't. ....... That's just for starters, I'm sure there will be many more like us. ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more successful, the more the possibility, but I wouldn't hold my breath. We have fans who work Saturdays, who have moved further afield and can't afford the expense, unlike you. A couple of possibly a dozen reasons why people can't attend. Edited August 13, 2019 by pod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
