The sight of Craig Burley slumped in his commentary seat with a face like thunder behind us was glorious. Etched indelibly on my memory. I've got the DVD to prove it. I happened to be working in Middlesbrough and took in the Middlesbrough, Preston game. Weirdly enough The Boro were managed by Strachan and had the likes of ex Celts Killen, McManus and Robson in the team. MacDonald too though he was injured.

BuddieinEK Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 This ^^^^^ There has been no attempt to increase ST sales in the family stand to stop the ‘need’* to give it to the old form. At no point have the board said if x amount sold then we will not pass it over to the OF * need is subjective in this context, there is no ‘need’ to give it to the OF but there is a value judgement made by the board that they would rather take the OF money and alienate some possibly many of our own support. AMEN AND AMEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wendy Saintss Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 I care because they are one of the many reasons why I am not going. If all decent fans and those decent dudes in authority cared enough , Sevco and Celtic would be removed from Scottish Football and the rest of us would thrive without them. We may then win the League one day and hear the Champions League tune booming out at Greenhill Road. Totally agree shull.Fans of every club need to boycott games against the Old FirmUntil they do, they are condoning sectarianism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps a lot of us should buy season tickets in the family stand for next season. You're bright as shite. Ha ha ha ha Let's move the West Bankers into the Family Stand, then give the Bigots the whole of the West Stand. Move the Main Standers up a bit and give the scum half that Stand also. Thicko.

shull Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Shouldn't be giving the sectarian vile cnuts any tickets. If we have to, it should be the bare minimum. A couple of hundred tickets for ONE SECTION of the North Stand. Any shit songs or constant standing up then arrest or throw the vermin out. So fecking simple.

Now watch as GLS actually implements this for next season (again presuming we are all in the same league, I’m holding out hope of both our survival and Sevco going bust) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iamhammer Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Hope rangers don’t get a late winner in a couple of weeks or they will be on the park at both ends of the ground if today is anything to go by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Ricky Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 3 hours ago, Cornwall_Saint said: What’s the point of a season ticket if you don’t get covered for all home league games? (Presuming we are in the same league as the bigots next season) It will already be advertised as “All games except against the vile bigot clubs”, so even if we sold out the Family Stand on ST sales prior to the start of the season, it wouldn’t make a difference. Clearly I am proposing that the club make a greater effort to encourage more home fans to buy season tickets. Starting point has to be selling out the main and the west stand tickets. That would be around 4400 I think. This season, over 3,500 have bought. That would leave no room in these stands to move our fans in the family stand into.

DLBud Posted August 4, 2019 Report Share Posted August 4, 2019 Not true we out numbered the dead club in 1977 in a game that ended 3 3 but all the headlines were about the scum fighting among themselves and having the players taken off the pitch. I find that unlikely as I was in the old Love Street end with my Dad (a lifelong blue nose) and that part of the ground was full of Rangers fans. I remember cheering our second goal just on half time (McGarvey, I think?) and my old man almost getting into a fight with some idiot shouting abuse at his 8 year old son.I guess they’ll have had the Caledonia end and part of the Northbank so they probably outnumbered Saints fans by about 2-1. Was a big crowd that day, probably about 25,000 and I’ve only seen anything more than 10,000 Saints fans for a Euro night or big cup match.Might be wrong though.

The decision will be made PRIOR to the sale so not one ST holder in the family stand will have paid for his/her seat for the OF games.

I was a bit older than 8 unfortunately well 12 years older. During that time old firm fans were thrown out the love street end if celebrating goals. Loads of crowds of saints fans over 10k that period the may before there was a crowd of 17000 for the second leg of the Renfrewshire cup final.
