If the Club needs some dosh, as an ST holder, I wouldn't mind.

If the club needs some “dosh” then it should be run properly, then it wouldn’t need to hire “ risk experts “ to clean up after it’s mess. Just saying

I reckon those appointments don’t come cheap. Add in the lawyers fees for the COVID case. Plus the loss of the stadium sponsor, lack of gate money and hospitality. Obviously we sold Kyle, but I can’t imagine there will be any money left to strengthen in January.

Well Jim Goodwin has said that if strikers don't start scoring he will find one who will I presume in January so must be money somewhere.

Have another look at the Irish market we have had a bit of luck.

^ Honest assessment

[Vambo57 1,608]

I'm a bit disappointed in the responses so far folks.  They are way off topic.  No surprise there eh? 😃

The original post was basically asking for your opinion concerning allowing pay-at-the-gate fans back into the ground first - as opposed to ST holders - providing some income to the club.  If it is ST holders only, then this will cause a loss to the club.

Personally, I would be happy to wait and watch the games online until thousands are allowed back in.

What do you think?

Not straightforward mate.

Depends on the numbers but there's a chance the pay at the gate punters wouldn't match the numbers allowed in.

Does anybody know what other clubs, Ross County for example, have done?

Heard of ballots being done and if your successful then excluded from next ballot

Not sure if ST only but maybe easier to manage if it is with trace and protect and other protocols to follow

They have done more for St. Mirren than you or your offspring will ever do in generations of “supporting”. Anyhow I thought you had given up “supporting” the club.
 

The amount of hours that some of these volunteers have invested since the year 2000 would put you and I to shame.
 

They have done it because they believed in the concept of fan ownership from the outset and were driven by their desire to put the club first.  
 

Toolbag. I think that’s your favourite term of reference.

Two obvious problems with the OP's suggestion IMO.

Firstly, it would be a giant-sized boot in the stones (or lady parts) for those who paid top whack for a full-season ST in the summer knowing they were giving the club a donation. 

Secondly, who would buy a ST in the future if non-ST holders get treated better than they do ?

The OP, a season ticket holder, has already said that, for the good of the club he'd be ok with that.

Many, I don't happen to agree, would see it as a way to help in this unique and difficult time.

Your second point is, IMO, irrelevant as this is more than unlikely to occur again so it's a one off.

To be honest as a ST holder I would want in, however I would gladly give a ‘donation’ to the tune of the value of the game ticket - to help the club out.

The day will come (hopefully soon), I have said many times on here that I hope the club is ready to act when the go ahead is given. It’s difficult as a partially filled stadium of ST holders only brings in hee haw revenue to the club.

Would make sense to continue to have PPV as an option?

The ‘club’ can’t even have lunch together properly or travel Covid safe or even communicate properly or regular with fans.

Zero chance they’d know how to let fans in if they can’t do the basics between themselves!

Ever since the Kibble have been involved there has been a distinct lack of news direct to the fans from “The Chairman”.

[RichardBuddie 475]

I never considered that option, that would work a treat, just wonder though at what point the governing body would pull the plug on 3pm PPV as fans start to gradually come back?

TBH that’s my big fear, one would think the 2 new guys (probably on decent ‘consultant’ rates), would be working up scenarios?

I'd hope that wouldn't happen till a full return is allowed.
