Always first to sell out Repeat customers and auction winners from the POTY dinner and at the price their welcome. On a side note,having attended previously,a gentle reminder was issued as to where the seats were located (Home) for the benefit of the visiting fans. Dont think that happens anymore as recently getting more vocal and obviously had a wee dram or too Sitting close by have seen some incidents and the disappearance (Steward assisted) of a home fan who attended every week.

Probably sold out before the fixtures were announced Your best chance to get CH would be a cup tie and send an email right away (allegedly) or get to be a guest/invitee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6er Posted June 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2022 I was thinking about birthdays and stuff. More money for the club, and a day out I have never experienced before. One of the birthdays is 5th March, so Celtic home would have been perfect - especially as it will be moved to the Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 I believe many Companies who struggle to get corporate in either of the middens buy up tables early doors at away matches so they can entertain their scum supporting customers . They know they’ll have no trouble filling the seats . One of my customers in Glasgow has tables in Dundee at both grounds and has done for years as he has several large accounts there . He offered me a Dun Utd V Septic day out a few years ago, needless to say I declined . 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Day the fixtures... minutes after being known... came out I contacted the club to see about mascot experience for my son near his birthday in march. Was told the Celtic game was already unavailable. He's the mascot at the livi game 1st April.Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Old pals act? [emoji20]Potentially. How could it book up that quick? Though good that my son is still getting to be a mascot and a game we could try and win. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk Matchday Mascots (stmirren.com) Maybe a missed opportunity to raise cash. As the link shows it is possible for more that one mascot,indeed have seen games with more than 2. Seen some teams walk out with a mascot per player,so if demand is there,club could facilitate to meet that demand. May be down to a lack of supervision of the kids if numbers too many or too much a hassle to make easy money and someone happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Have enjoyed paying hospitality at St Mirren. I prefer to pay my own especially at home. Feels like I’ve done my bit. I know folks like freebies and I Admit to attending the board room at Celtic Park, Hibs and Dunfermline when St Mirren were playing and my sons couldn’t make it and I was attending on my own.

shull Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 My daughter was a Mascot a few years ago v Livingston. There was two other mascots with her. Incidentally, it was Alan Stubbs last match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a bit rank when hospitality for matches against these 2 teams are sold out before The Club' supporters have had a chance to think about booking any. Are you a member of the 1877 Club? If not, ever been in it? Edited June 25, 2022 by Kombibuddie Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you need to sit in the Main Stand to be a member? I’m just about to cancel my membership. It just hasn’t worked for me . Seemed like a good idea at the time but when you factor in the fact you’re still paying close season, games getting shifted around , midweek etc , it means your adding about 2-3 quid onto each pint . Eg, only one home game in March last season . the charge for visitors and the limit on numbers put my family off attending also . Its a good facility and I fully understand the costs incurred by the original members but I feel the current membership model could do with a shake up.

The other thing is you don't want a facility that's too busy, so being dear prevents overcrowding as for many it is not worth the money. 27 minutes ago, Callum Gilhooley said: I’m just about to cancel my membership.

It's not so much about the cost, which is a factor, but these places tend to attract a clique which is a reason I've almost totally avoided joining any clubs. I made an exception with the St Mirren club when I lived in Paisley, only to allow me to play pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
