Ayrshire Saints Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 17 minutes ago, Sonny said: Aye. There is a great delusion that somehow Black & White Army Forum represent the fans. When the number of posters used to be displayed at the bottom of the page there was usually only around 100 people logged on during a live match. On non-match days the number was significantly less - often in the teens. And this thread shows that only a few people actually get involved. There may be a lot of 'members' of the Forum but many are dead accounts and many simply no longer post or use the site to gain information and not get involved. Out of the many fans I know I am the only one that posts on here. Only one other has an account. Considering we have around 4,200 regularly attending games then this forum is very insignificant to gauge what the fans think. Take away the multiple personas and it's even less !

Strangely enough back then the majority of St Mirren shareholders voted to sell a controlling interest in the club to Reg Brearley rejecting the bid from a consortium led by Stewart Gilmour. https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/12301534.brearley-gains-control-of-saints/ In 2012 also in a room full of passionate St Mirren supporters a vote to help a "Rangers" team stay in the top flight after liquidation passed with a majority of 11-2. St Mirren fans have a history of getting it spectacularly wrong. Lets hope, for the sake of the club that this time round the majority have shown good judgement in gifting away the power to run the club. Much more recently they got it spectacularly right in supporting BTB in its present form. An evolution of that backed by the current people involved has now passed. (and then some) Let’s hope once again we have made the correct choice and the very few airing weird and wonderful caution a few years back continue to be wrong.

bazil85 Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 additional point here right enough. By my calculations on SMISA membership numbers we have 1,187 BTB members. Wee bit of a dip over the last year (although worth noting, easily still over 120% of initial target) Hopefully we see that number grow under the new arrangement.

slapsalmon Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 Whatever way anybody voted the outcome being so clear is probably a good thing. By rough calculations the yes votes make just over 66% of total membership which was what a few were arguing to be the required amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You quoted a membership number God bless ye Baz, only 13 short of that magical 20%. Not like you to make stuff up Eh? A famous tennis player might be asking if you’re being serious. The target for BTB was 1,000 members paying £12 a month for the 10 years, in other words the target was to raise equivalent of £12,000 per month, we are raising a financial total here, that’s what the target obviously relates to. That was the tipping point to green light the deal. We currently have 1,187 members of BTB, some of which will be paying the £25 membership and some will have given the £2,500. As such we are over 120% ahead of the initial set target. It is very clear you are the one attempting to spin by ignoring the financial target vs the reality. My take it you’ve probably not realised you were wrong, I’ve called you out on it and pride is getting in the way of you admitting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiram Abiff Posted February 21, 2020 Report Share Posted February 21, 2020 That's a seperate issue, although certainly one that should also be part of this. Many St. Mirren fans may be fine with below living wage or even no wage if it benefits St. Mirren But, but, you said no staff would be affected[emoji23] Mind, you said it in the same post where you said they would be affected!

It wasn't a calculation error I clarified what I meant to you No I didn't, again I very clearly clarified So you disagree that we're over 120% of our target? Seems like a tiny bit of bitterness to me TBH Correct, I confirmed what I meant, I should know. You refusing to believe it and thinking I can't do probably primary 4 level maths is your choice. Do you still not understand the finances? Do you want me to try and simplify it even further for you? (tough ask) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
