Desperately Seeking Susans Posted April 17, 2019 Report Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) If the club bid for those items, they could be the first exhibits in a club museum at the stadium. Tommy, having played the whole of his career at Love St, should be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Far more deserving than some folk who are in it or about to be inducted. Given the auction is next week, I can see a whole can of worms being opened if SMISA use their money for it without getting member agreement. Of course, the same folk who would criticise them for going down that road would also moan if they didn't bid and they end up with someone else!

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted April 18, 2019 Report Share Posted April 18, 2019 When someone passes away many of us regret that we didn't ask them, tell them or do something for them. Perhaps the club will respond and posthumously award Tommy induction into the Hall of Fame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see them saving him for a big occasion. 150th anniversary, century anniversary of our first Scottish cup or his birth. Something like that instead of a run of the mill year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately Seeking Susans Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 May I congratulate the club for investing on behalf of our community, the buying of these sacred historical items which will, hopefully, adorn the creation of a club museum in the stadium. Together, with our trophies and other artifacts, a walk-through experience of the St Mirren story will prove to be a great attraction solidifying our identity, our community and our history.
