TediousTom Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) I was over on the twitters a few moments ago and I saw a poll by Cairters corner regarding a club constitution. What a good topic of conversation I thought so popped on here I did and start this very thread so I did. Anyway with Smisa poised to grasp control of our wonderful club, would you like to see a club constitution? What should be in it? Cairters poll was ragarding our strip and I shall steal his suggestion 1) The Saint Mirren professional football club pte ltd co shall always play in black and white vertical stripes (maybe a splash of red) I would also add 2) This club stadium shall always be in Paisley, Paisley is our home and shall always be. What else would you like to see in it? Consider this an opportunity for discussion at least until the rampant name calling descends. *regarding (what am I like eh, put me in a home they should) Edited February 27, 2020 by TediousTom Quote
W6er Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 The club will always endeavour to balance the books, to prevent it from going insolvent and jeopardising its very existence? Quote
djchapsticks Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 The club will always focus on bringing through and developing it's own young talent. Ending their youth academy, whilst not the sole reason, has definitely contributed to Falkirk's downturn in the last few years. Quote
Hiram Abiff Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 The club shall never be owned or part owned by a third party organisation who may put their own interests before the club’s. Quote
bazil85 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Posted February 27, 2020 (edited) Think this is a really nice idea, maybe something to go up next to the SMISA name boards? Edited February 27, 2020 by bazil85 Quote
St.Ricky Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 Great suggestion. Will add more after giving it some thought. Quote
chalky1 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 The club will always look to maximise game day profits but not to the detriment of St.Mirren Fans i.e. 1 stand for away support Quote

The fans displaced know about it before they purchase a Season Ticket. We don't fill the ground to capacity regularly and if we did, then we'd be into detrimental territory. What I would say though, as I don't want dragged into another Old Firm tit for tat is that fans displaced should be offered alternative tickets at the rate on the season ticket as a fair compromise. So for example, if the adult family stand season ticket is £45 cheaper, than a West stand ticket, anyone with a ST for the South stand should be offered chance of purchasing any of the 3 home games vs the arse cheeks for £15 a ticket. That way, no-one is displaced or our of pocket. Quote

Quite right!What have the club done about selling more tickets to home/neutral/lapsed fans?Any big push or incentive? Quote

shull Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 Club Constitution No Celtic and Sevco vermin permitted into our Family Friendly Stadium. Scum out permanently. Not needed and not wanted. Even better, refuse to play these vile Clubs. And hope the other 39 Diddy Clubs change their Constitution to suit. FECKEM Quote

TWENTY POUNDS PLEASE THEN WE WILL LET YOU IN. Alternatively, it can viewed for free on the BBC. Prices frozen on last round and last season’s cost (last home match) Tickets cheaper than all league games Children can attend for only £5 We are the cheapest adult priced Scottish Cup ticket this weekend and cheaper for almost all other ticket options across the board. Some fans having unrealistic expectations regarding us operating as a business is irrelevant in this being a very reasonably priced fixture. Edited February 28, 2020 by bazil85 Quote
shull Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 A few thousand Season Ticket Holders pay less than twenty pounds for every League match. Those Season Tickets ain't valid for Cup Ties. Quote

DougJamie Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 The Club will be owned by its own supporters, with no third party interference Quote
Cornwall_Saint Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 This is an excellent idea Tom. It would keep the club to it’s core beliefs and values whoever is in charge. One of your suggestions reminds me of when the Malaysian owners at Cardiff decided to change the club’s colours to red from blue. They played Hull at a similar time where their owners were suggesting the Hull Tigers name change, and in support of each other, Hull fans sang “you’ll always be blue” and Cardiff fans sang “you’ll always be Hull City” or something along those lines. With that in mind, I’d suggest “The Club Name will always be St Mirren Football Club, and this cannot be changed” It’s a very good thread though and a great idea, if someone forwarded this idea to SMISA then that would be brilliant. Well played Tom, well played indeed. Quote

shull Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 I can see us being St Kibble FC in the near future and our colours being a mixture of blue and green. Quote
