Not at our best, however winning ugly is a good thing! Thought Robos subs and game management was spot on. Zak commands his box well. We missed O'Hara but through and momentum continues. 

Dont seem to be missing  OHara that much mate... also important squad players get game time and thats the encouraging case

Not enough for a team of this quality and for a catchment area of well over 100,000+.

Too many armchair supporters, is also an issue.

St Mirren deserve better.

If we carry on the way we are currently, the crowds will increase even more than last seasons record breaking attendances at the new ground. 

2nd in the league and a cup quarter final. As starts go, it doesn't get much better.

Agreed. When you think about it 7% of the catchment area are attending games. Today's attendance was brilliant for a cup game (with season tickets not valid) good time to be a bud.

Think we need the corners filled and another tier on the main stand...  take us up to 10k capacity

Yeah totally. 

I can see next Sunday's game being another decent crowd.

No point really just now. If we can sell out the home end regularly, then we should be looking at that. Spend on the team first and hopefully the need for more seats will increase with winning games( and cups) .

Agreed we should increase the capacity to 10,000+.

The problem about 'spending on the team' is that money doesn't grow on trees - we need bums on seats first.

Catch 22 really. 

Finishing top 6+ and the later stages of cup competitions helps generate cash. 

Sell out the current stadium first and then possibly look at increasing. 

No point in putting in more seats for them to be empty.

Very entertaining match today. Thought we were the better side all through. Result was never really in doubt. Most of their attacks came from us giving the ba!l away. Thought Baccus was poor today but Gogic was superb. He Is the best signing we have made in years. Tay!or also improves with everymatch. What length of deal is he on?  Also have rare!y seen a ball hit harder than the goal.

Yeah, the increase in the home crowd is fantastic but I doubt we will get to the stage where folk can't get a ticket for the home end on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, that would be what we all want.
