Sonny Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 As it says. Get your ugly mug on a cardboard cutout until the real thing is available. https://www.stmirren.com/all-news/3708-get-back-in-the-ground-with-st-mirren-fans-at-the-game Personally I think it won't be that long until we can attend games but in the meantime you can have a presence in the stadium.

FTOF Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Looks like a pre-set standard size. An opportunity for the "larger" fan to look positively sylph like in their seats. Edited - It's not set up for us yet. Edited July 3, 2020 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon is apparently talking about MONTHS before fans get to attend. This feels like we are being primed to expect no fans until next year.

She said that there was no set date, as they hadn't made a decision yet. Jason Leitch did suggest otherwise, but was contradicted by her. https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/international/what-nicola-sturgeon-had-say-return-scottish-football-fans-stadiums-2902144 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd wager, in England there will be fans allowed in long before next year. No so sure about up here. wee Nicola seems to be trying to drive people into depression.

They'll be hedging their bets, like they've done with education. I think it's more to do with the sheer number of fans involved moving about in and around the stadium, as opposed to being able to space people out in seats. Aberdeen were talking about 7500 fans presumably concentrated in and around their ground. At the moment that would seem an unnecessary risk. Three or four weeks down the line with ever decreasing figures...………………………… let's see what happens. Edited July 3, 2020 by FTOF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattman Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 To be fair it’s another revenue stream for the club, don’t really like it if honest but soon as I seen other clubs doing it, I knew we’d be in about it too. Cant see me putting a pic of myself there but I do have a fair few funny pics of pals that I could send in 😆😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALBIONSAINT Posted July 3, 2020 Report Share Posted July 3, 2020 Cardboard cut outs? The last time we had cardboard cut outs in the stadium was back in the mid 90s , we called them the back four, boom boom I will get my coat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
