If you think it's a good idea, start it up. It surely hasn't escaped your attention that the club's revenue streams - which, to quote you, 'keep a club alive' - have recently dried up? Some season ticket holders are demanding refunds, there are no gate receipts from matches, I'm unsure whether the TV broadcasters will honour their contracts in full now, the airdome is closed as is the club shop. I'm just a regular fan. I only joined SMISA last month. I would prefer to leave the crowdfunding to people who hold positions within the club, especially when nobody will have heard of me.

GMan Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 There is one, but not for yous plebs on here! Most of yous are scum, who could probably only spare a few grand at the most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6er Posted April 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I give up. I thought this was a forum for St. Mirren fans, yet I suspect half the regular posters on here would actually be quite pleased if the club folded. Goodbye.

chalky1 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Seen this morning on SKY sports, Aberdeen chairman stating that the SPFL are in talks to show all games live on the telly if games are played behind closed doors. Could we tell the club that we would be happy to pay £5.00 Pay per view, simply added to your sky bill, then monies passed on to the club. Most of us spend that at the ground when buying our pre-match or half-time snack. Club would the receive approx £20,000 each home game with very little expense. Just an idea!

I don't understand, is this a serious suggestion? How the feck are players going to protect themselves, and families? Bring out a new "2 metre" rule? Even a closed doors match will need a considerable amount of people. IF this goes ahead it's utter madness IMO. You can't have players & officials running around and ask the public to sit in their fecking house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6er Posted April 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 There's a fundraising effort already in place for St. Mirren: https://donateaticket.com/donate/st-mirren/ - it just needs a club official to give the site permission.

Think it is at early stages, if players have been self isolating for between 7 to 14 days depending on family circumstances then yeah, I think it could be done. All we need is the Janny to unlock the doors, switch the power on and then come back at at the end of the game. Simple!!!😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it's for the 2019-20 season so I think it must be looking forward to when partial lifting of isolation. Probably anticipating that the young and fit would be allowed some semblance of freedom by then. Edited April 5, 2020 by stlucifer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
