The game has been confirmed for Saturday 17 September at 3 pm and tickets for that date are now on sale at the St Mirren website. I posted a link in an earlier post. I know but I'm not convinced it won't get changed. Hope I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascal Posted August 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I was SO wrong!!! Match changed to Sunday 18th September at 12 Noon!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exiledfan Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 That's a bit rediculous too be honest. Why sell tickets on line for Saturday then switch it to Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I agree Elvis and as Exiled said after putting tickets for the Saturday on sale. Six of us now can’t go and I have the added pleasure (like many others) of contributing to keeping the family stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint@Johnstone Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 Irrespective of dates and timing ,or Sky coverage, I suggest a saints defensive line up including Jimmy Drinkwater, Jim Clunie, Cockles Wilson, Abercrombie, Jack Copland, Jim Goodwin and Gogic. Dundee Utd went for the “after you, Claude” tactic on Sunday. Those chaps above, I suggest would adopt a rather different attitude, one which is much more suited to dealing with the current Celtic team. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanb Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 First Team Fixtures (stmirren.com) Top line All fixtures can be subject to change Sky are now tending to announce TV games monthly in a block announcement,guess it makes them feel important and in control. A positive...may free up a seat or two in hospitality for those who can afford it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A positive...may free up a seat or two in hospitality for those who can afford it This is less than a month away. Also a bit of an indication how much Sky really don't care about Scottish Football and use it as a filler. When was there last a game on Sky that didn't involve the OF (away) or a token Edinburgh derby . Last year not a single bottom six game got a look in when play offs were up in the air. I get that they look for viewing figures but a bit of fairness would be nice, especially now no PPV is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I would have expected the club to check either with Sky or the League before putting tickets on for sale. 12 noon, dreadful time for a game of football 👎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky announce monthly as in What's on in September,November etc towards the end of the previous month and agrred only certain teams and fixtures matter.

FS…All in this case means…each set of fans involved. But….only someone who doesn’t go to games would make the comment you have just made. It is unsatisfactory on many levels that this should happen.

It happens every season and there's the same "drama" posts from a few. In real terms it matters little. I don't need to go to many game to understand that.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 I would never buy a ticket for a Saturday home game against either of the OF if I knew I could only make the Saturday. Almost certain to be subject to some disruption. When will folk stop being surprised by this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
