exiledfan Posted November 15, 2022 Report Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) On the 24/10/21 the home attendance against Rangers was 6100 on the 10/4/21 it was 6583. Saturday attendance was 6358. I don't see that we are losing money by not having them in two stands. In fact I think being unbeaten at home and performances against the old firm are helping us gain fans. We are selling a minimum of 1000 tickets a season more than we did in corresponding fixtures outside the old firm . I would never let a Celtic fan in to the SMISA again after that vile display of sectarian bile they displayed to disgrace Scottish football.

Popular Post HSS Posted November 15, 2022 Popular Post Report Share 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 👏👏👏 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antrin Posted November 16, 2022 Report Share 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
