St.Mirren V The blue bigots

[FTOF]

Shifted to Sunday October 24th 12 pm. for Sky coverage.

Aberdeen vs Celtic, St Mirren vs Rangers picked for live coverage on Sky Sports | Football News | Sky Sports

[Rascal]

The shift to Sunday at least let’s one of our group of season ticket holders to attend. Usually works on a Saturday .

[woiiftm]

Any news on Family Stand season ticket holders for this one?

They will sadly get offered seats elsewhere in the ground. IIRC their season tickets do not cater for games against the bigot brothers. Although how the club calculate whether that is 3 home fixtures or 4 beats me.

If it is based on the CEOs prediction top 6 fantasy and we don’t achieve that goal, then are they getting one game free? 😂 

I would think they would have to count on the four and take the hit for being bottom 6.

Season tickets include these games this season, no reduction in price.

Seat re-allocation or refund

Mentioned to SLO a number of weeks back who were then going to raise with club. No response as yet.

Taking supporters for granted.
Surely not. [emoji850][emoji26]

@woiiftm don’t give up trying to get information. I’ve usually found the SLOs very helpful, but I think they have been overwhelmed with complaints these last few months. We have to remember they are volunteers.

If you are still waiting on a response write to CEO [email protected] and GM [email protected]

They after all are paid to run the club. If you have been waiting a long time for answers go to the top.

 

Will certainly persevere. Meeting was supposed to have taken place at end of last month, will give them this week to respond.

Did get good response to initial query from SLO but just been silence since

[W6er]

When will tickets go on sale for this game, which I believe is our next one at home? I'm keen to get mine early, particularly as if they go on general sale they might go quickly with away fans sitting in the home end.

[Clydebanksaint]

I may have missed it what allocation are they getting. Is the South stand going to them again this season. Are we bending over for them given they allow no away fans in just like the other half of Glasgow.

Not if we can fill it ourselves as there is a big gap in main stand. It's up to our supporters.

Bump......................the REAL thread.

I don't agree with giving rangers or celtic 1 stand, never mind 2. But that's me.

However, I believe it is within the SMISA members gift to have a vote (online or at the SMISA AGM) and as majority shareholders, give an instruction to The Club Board not to give the opposition support a 2nd stand (or additional seating elsewhere in the ground). 1 stand will do.

Unless a vote is carried out amongst the fans (SMISA Members), we'll never know, if there is support for not giving or giving, the North Stand and the Family stand to the opposition when they visit. 

No doubt, the argument of "fan owned doesn't mean fan run" Why else do we have a BoD is likely to be brought up.

To a certain extent, that is true but not absolute. When the majority owner (SMISA membership) has a majority/overwhelming opinion, it would be remiss of The Club Board (&/or The SMISA board) to ignore it.

A simple vote amongst the SMISA members should be sufficient but I have a feeling, to move forward with such a thing a "Special Resolution" would need to be voted on and accepted at a SMISA AGM.

Just a thought.

A vote could of course be taken, but I think you might be surprised by the outcome. I reckon there will be more members than you think that will back decisions that put financial benefit to the club above other matters.

For what it’s worth, I’m with you though. I don’t think the financial benefit of an extra stand is sufficient to outweigh the importance of other implications of these decisions.

The monthly spend results are a clear indication of that. No harm in putting the question to a vote 😃

Totally agree.

I'd still be St Mirren through & through, if we dropped down the divisions due to lack of cash (It won't happen though)

Ahh, lack of cash........ that pot that SMISA are building could be offset against that forsaken financial benefit of giving a 2nd stand to away supporters. That's a spend that'd be worth it.

SMISA paying St Mirren to keep rangers & celtic out of a 2nd stand.

What a legacy that could be. St Mirren's Fan Owners benefitting The Club by prioritising the fan base.

I asked the question around this topic at both the club and SMiSA AGMs. Basically told that this is a club decision based on financial reasons (which they would not divulge) and there were no plans to take a vote from the membership.

It would be hard to ignore the question if a "Special Resolution" was proposed. Which could happen if there was no plans to consider a vote.

It’s October, we are trying to buy games for erm…. October [emoji3064]


Crazy decision, poor planning, poor management for a 24/7 ticket management system as it says on the official site

I’d say it’s an absolute certainty the family stand will be filled with bigots for both Glasgow clubs.

Forever debating topic. But there's only ever going to be one outcome.

The subject was discussed by the Chairman at the SMiSA meeting this week. Nothing will change this year, but there was talk of putting a proposal to all Season Ticket holders to potentially keep the family stand for families throughout the season - including allowing other clubs family groups to be housed in a specific area like St Johnstone do.

IMO that would be a huge improvement. I firmly believe that the Family Stand should remain open throughout the season and allowing other clubs family groups increases the numbers and revenue.

I would support that approach and include the OF family groups in those allowed in.

Nah. No chance.

Grown up bigoted scum or junior, soon to be indoctrinated scum. Same same. 

[Ronnie]

Giving them both stands again, no surprise really as the Board haven't really gave a shit about the fans going from one shambles to another since the summer.

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Both end stands to the bigots, f**k the board.
