stlucifer Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 No offence but this is a rather futile thread. It's completely obvious why some post their venomous sh!te on here. They don't care what a banner says. They have a vehicle to ridicule and complain with the knowledge that they will antagonise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offence taken. If that really is the case then those people must lead very empty, unhappy lives. However I'd be interested to read their explanations.

Scottish Premiership clubs' primary source of income is gate receipts:[1] Quote Where does Scottish football make its money? According to the most recent financial figures from Uefa, the Scottish Premiership ranks 11th in Europe for the amount of money it made in 2018, totalling 229m euros. The 43% that comes from gate receipts is more than the combined amount of money the league makes from TV and sponsorship deals. The Scottish top-flight's broadcasting deal made up 10% of its revenue, with Uefa prize money accounting for 18%, and sponsorship and commercial deals a further 26%. [2] Now I imagine those clubs qualifying for Europe receive the bulk of the UEFA money, in which case I would think more than 43% of St. Mirren's income comes from gate receipts. With fewer games next season, the club is likely to receive less TV money and sponsorship deals. Therefore the club will be even more reliant on gate receipts. Without income the club will go bust. It will literally cease to exist, and yet there are members of this forum excoriating those of us who have bought season tickets and are criticising the club for even putting them on sale. My question is, are those people fans of St. Mirren FC? I'm an ex-smoker, and I spent £5 per day funding my habit, or £150 per month. When I was a drinker I'd easily spend £30 on a night at the pub. Giving £25 a month to St. Mirren to ensure its survival is not being a superfan, IMHO.

TediousTom Posted May 17, 2020 Report Share Posted May 17, 2020 I consider myself a superfan. I am as super as a Tennants special brew and I am a fan. I shall explain what in my reasonable opinion makes a mere mortal a superfan and what does not Super fan's Being a season ticket holder - Yes Not holding a season ticket but nonetheless you go to as many games as you can - yes Being a season ticket holder/go to as many games as you can and a member of a travel club - yes Why - because these are the people who financially support the club. Although by the very definition of fan (as fanatic) then we really do not need the super part. Fan's People who go now and again. Although this group should never be underestimated. You guys may become superfans and your presence at our hallowed ground is always appreciated. It must also be recognised that many of us will flirt between the two. Many a hard working man will give up the season ticket/regular Saturday attendance at the fitba in order to support a family. You are a credit to humanity and we must hope that in time you can return to our cathedral of football in a more regular fashion. Things that do nothing to improve your status as a fan Using BAWA to berate fans/superfans Attending away games only for daft reasons other than geography (for example a Buddie who lives and works in Aberdeen attending only at Aberdeen away, that is entirely understandable). Having your name inscribed on the wall of wank Being a member of Smisa Being a premium member of Smisa Being a member of the 1877 club. Shopping at Asda on deadline day. Driving a taxi and slagging our pies. So it's all about match attendance and financial support of the club Some of us cannot make it through commitments, medical reasons and so on and so forth. It is okay, life has a habit of getting in the way. At this time we must be allowed to appreciate our season ticket holders. These fabulous people are pouring hard earned money into the club at the very time they need it the most. It is okay to celebrate our season ticket holders, both old and new. Season ticket holders are wonderful people and I am proud to be amongst them. To steal a quote from "Sunderland til I die" some of these people hardly have a pot to piss in, but that money finds its way to our great club anyway. Great people season ticket holders, really great people indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
