HSS Posted November 15, 2022 Report Posted November 15, 2022 When they were given both ends the noise they created was loud as One end would try and out sing the other end and it worked,it was like football song tennis You couldn’t hear yourself think when they were in full flow I can’t believe any St Mirren fan wants to listen to that at a home game It’s so much better with only one stand 👏👏👏 Quote

What sectarian bile? The Sellick fans were like church mice. Quote

Utter bollocks, first off no one ‘wants’ to listen to it. It’s the wrong terminology. Just because people have a view we should be maximising our income, doesn’t mean they aren’t St Mirren fans. What an arrogant claim of superiority. Quote

I’m assuming he meant the “If you hate the royal family clap your hands” routine. I’m not sure that qualifies as sectarian mind you. Certainly unnecessary and certainly undignified, but sectarian? I don’t think so. Quote

Especially to do it in a way clearly designed to be “funny”. I mean it’s not like they weren’t going to spend the next 90 minutes going on about how much they hate the royal family anyway. I would place myself somewhere in between ambivalent and anti monarchy but even I thought that was pretty tasteless. To repeat though, not sectarian. Quote
antrin Posted November 16, 2022 Report Posted November 16, 2022 I read it as anti-royalty, not personal abuse. So much of the carnival surrounding her death (or any of the ordinary, commonplace events involving that clan… weddings, births, car accidents) are used to confirm the privileged class structure of the UK. it’ll all be on show next summer when her eldest son has his glitzy party.

We have increased the number of tickets for schools and groups, where we are trying to gain future buds. Sent from my SM-G998B using Tapatalk They may not be all monetary sales or at the same price the blue and green were paying, though we are now building up our fan base and improving on the park and the match day experience, so that people will come back again and again. At a young age, a lot of kids are still unsure who they support if they are not regularly seeing 'their team' play in the flesh. Imagine you were a young kid from Paisley or surrounding areas who has been influenced by either side of the green or blue, whether it be through family or being outnumbered at school, though turn up at these games and see us competing and winning these games, instead of being cannon fodder in a hostile environment.

Right but all of those other things you mention are sadly commonplace at these games. I thought you were citing something peculiar to this particular game. Quote

Not that it matters but isn’t detest an even stronger verb in this context than hate? Also wouldn’t it be better to say you hate or detest the existence of a royal family. Unless of course you really do detest the individuals involved. In which case fair enough. Quote

But we are where we are & accept it or not, our club operating at the level it does, is linked to the Glasgow Derby income. This is only about where people draw lines & I am unchanged at giving them two stands to fill our empty seats. I accept we voted on it & it was (rightly) changed & I accept other views. That does not mean I will change my opinion. 14 hours ago, Warrior Saint said: Shut up ya fecking halfwit and go support ur old firm.

Quote It almost felt like an away game when they used to have both stands. Now that they’re back to just one and we’ve got three stands, I think it’s a big plus for us as players. I know a lot of Rangers fans who are complaining about not being able to get a ticket. I get that it’s annoying for them, but it’s our home ground. We want to make it a fortress and make it a hard place to come. Having the three stands has definitely helped towards that. Quote

Would also be interesting to hear our keepers thoughts on it. It can’t be easy having 1600 Neanderthal scum just metres behind you baying for your blood for both halves of the game . One of the best decisions the club have made imo. Quote
