W6er Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 According to P&B, Killie have 150 tickets left. I hope that's true. Could be a proper sell out tomorrow, if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon BoK, you know relying on Baz as your "in the know guy" is never going to end well ...... you've argued with him aplenty ovet the years 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W6er Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I hope we've given them the entire stand, and not closed off the section close to the North Bank! In which case we're looking at 7,900+ tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronnie Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I have heard folk refer to Jim as a 'snake'. He's nothing of the sort, IMHO. He's a great bloke, as exemplified by the fact he stopped for your son, despite apparently being in a rush. Nobody can fault him for taking a job that pays a lot more, given he has a family to support. Who wouldn't do the same? I wish him success in the future.The snake term was first used on Goodwin by his own team mates for his role in Lennon being replaced by Tommy Craig.

Albanian Buddy Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 For those of us going tomorrow let’s try and get in early to the stadium and raise the roof. We have a special appearance by Danny Lennon which given the sad nature of his departure he deserves a full stadium to hear him speak!

waldorf34 Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Heard the usual moaning from those so called supporters that never miss a final ,never buy st Mirren merchandise cos they have a lucky shirt they bought 20 years ago ,slag off the club cos it's never been good since Fergie. Bugger off ,buy a season ticket ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Well, even that is not the full quote and in the full context of a conversation it was Baz who brought the entertainment (seemingly in very short supply today) up, before covering his arse by saying that it maybe wasn't down to Kibble but they are joint owners so they deserved credit.

I'm sure the ground used to hold just over 8,000? Most online resources state it's 8,023. Was that before the disabled section was put in in M1?

Helmettroll Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Absolutely gutted I'm having to miss this tomorrow, really need to start doing a bit more research when booking weekends away in London. One way or another I'll find a way to watch this in my hotel room... C'mon Saints please don't feck this up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigYardsAndBasher Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 To be honest, I was very surprised when the stadium was opened that a sheltered viewing platform for our disabled supporters wasn't included in the original plans. Maybe it would have meant Tesco having to give us more money as part of the original deal or something but in this day and age access for everyone surely has to get included in any modern building being erected.

Ronnie Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Let's get this Nightshift over with to try and unsuccessfully go home to sleep after. Absolutely buzzing for this game, normally everything St Mirren would lead to at one point tomorrow Hibs, Livingston and Kilmarnock all winning at same time but part of me has this wee feeling we could cruise this as I think Robinson and the players will just be on their game tomorrow.
