It would be polite to let St Johnstone fans know one way or another as it affects those who run supporters buses. Fair comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that a good portion of the Main Stand needs to be used as 'the red zone', that I've heard about. In which case perhaps the away stand will be used for home fans? I'd like to think the club are just being very cautious, and ensuring they're observing protocol. However, you're absolutely correct about showing courtesy to away fans.

Im going to try think positive and go for 2-0 to us. My son thinks it will be 6-0 to us. Main to get 2, Fraser to get 3 (his favourite player) and Tanser to get 1... He is 7 and still thinks St. Mirren are a really great team. Anyone know if the food outlets will be open as he is dying to get a hotdog at the game randomly. Maybe we could beat your son's school team but it would be close 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will inevitably be away fans in that section now, I would think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it certainly is a shambles. I 100% cannot blame any Saintees fans who make the journey over from Perth now. As they're e-tickets, it's not like they can correct the error, either. Imagine you're a Saintees fan who buys a ticket, gets an email with his ticket details and then doesn't give it a second thought before travelling down on Sunday? I'd be raging if that was me and I was refused entry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
