shull Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 The Primary School children will be back at St Mirren Park in the future. They will be in our away end wearing their blue or green scarves and chanting their sectarian ditties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although in my Primary School class, only me out of 30 pupils supported St Mirren. The rest were blue vermin minded.

mattman Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) One of the reasons I started going to games was through free tickets through primary school, and I know a few others the same who still go(and we’re all in our 30s now), great initiative! The 70 pound under 12s season ticket was great too! Made it easier for my parents to keep their son happy 😂!

exiledfan Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 When I was a kid they regularly handed out free tickets at old love street. My mate who I go to the football now his family are all blue noses. He's a proud buddy. The days we used to go definitely pushed him from the dark side. Great for parents taking kids that may be put off taking them to an old firm shit show full of sectarian bile that a family ticket is a great way to enjoy football as a family.

faraway saint Posted August 30, 2022 Report Share Posted August 30, 2022 It seems Shull was the only one in a cauldron of Rangers supporters, almost explains his obsessions with them. Quite why he thinks he can remember that EVERY other person was a Rangers supporter only confirms he's not all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st jock Posted August 31, 2022 Report Share Posted August 31, 2022 Most of my class were of the blue persuasion. I'm sure initiatives like this can help. My daughter is a saints fan but she has no choice . 😇 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 A well meaning but paltry gesture. Every kid, 16 and under should be given free admission to home games. Its how you build for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of St Mirren supporting classmates in primary too. They are still St Mirren diehards, as are their families. My best mate is a rangers supporter, i've brought his (now) 12 year old son to a few St Mirren matches over the past couple of seasons, he now talks about 'us' & 'we' when talking about St Mirren & got his 1st season ticket this season. Some heads will be swayed. I have no doubt. Nonetheless, it's a great initiative that will hopefully prove successfull for St Mirren whilst enhancing The Club' stature & community club credentials.

TPAFKA Jersey 2 Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 I went to a combination of Langcraigs and Foxbar primary schools between 1971 and 1978 and most of my pals were Saints fans. In fact I’m struggling to think of any who actively supported the old firm. And @antrin, before you have a go at me for using the term “old firm”, they definitely did exist back then 😀😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Govan team were not having their most successful runs and Aberdeen and Dundee United were starting to push their noses in. The group of friends my sons had still go the watch St Mirren on a regular basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My class at Auchenback in the 70's was fairly mixed with St Mirren & the other 2. There was a Partick Thistle fan in the year above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( CM ) When I went to Barrhead High, thankfully there was many more Saints fans, especially around the time of Fergie's Furies. Still outnumbered substantially by Ibrox bigots. St Lukes would have been overwhelmingly Celtic minded. Diddy club fans are the minority in most towns, cities and villages in Scotland.

My school was basically a caldron of Rangers fans with a very few saints fans scattered in with the Catholic School a 5 minute walk away being a caldron of Celtic. Nothing better than being a bud and loving your home town and team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The teams we supported wasn't a big issue in primary school. Maybe you went to the same school as shull?
