Time for a final dot count!  The last one is my favourite, as it's always the easiest.

 

Total = 144

 

Grand total = 497 tickets remaining

 

7,937- 497 = 7,440 tickets sold

 

I don't think it will be a sell out tomorrow, but I reckon we can shift another 200 tickets.  

That's some hobby you have got there.

Here is one to keep you busy. 😜

SR has changed our club top to bottom and of course bigger clubs may come calling....Aberdeen did...thank god 

ManagerSR, Assistant Manager DO,  COO KL, General Manager LM, Groundsman TD,  Shop and Strips Guru AP, and the Troops of our 27% shareholders, along with the BOD and SMISA, and all the other Staff employed by the Club have STARTED to turn this Club around!

Long May it continue.

Remember these days, as they are special!  👋👋👋

Stadium nearly full, high expectations. Put back in our place today I think....usually happens, can see midfield getting overrun today...Baccus or Taylor red card to add to mix...penalty to Dons...fecking hope not...

Hope not. Fingers crossed.

I have seen it all before though.

Well, match day, roll on 3 O'clock.

Still have a very slight fancy for us but, again, our biggest test to date in the league. 

We go into this on a 6 game winning streak, albeit 3 of them were against lower league opposition but wins give confidence.

[faraway saint]

Had a wee read of the Aberdeen forum.

Mixed predictions but plenty would be happy with the draw.

A few recognise that we're a decent team these days which is very pleasant.

If someone is able to do a dot count later, around 1 or 2 pm, you will be the second greatest person* who ever lived!

With his long contract we would get a fantastic amount of compensation 👍🏻

And with Lee Johnsons longer contract the outgoing failed Hibs manager will likely get a superb compensation package .

I’m hoping after a tough game mid week & another coming (a big earner for them), they’ve got their eyes on that prize and we can take full advantage.

There is probably a release clause in the contract so, maybe not so fantastic

Or double his salary, hold on to him and finish in the top three.

Which would you prefer?

I agree with Jaybee on this. We don't have infinite funds so we won't be able to match Hibs on salary. I only hope Robinson is driven by more than fast cash.

No matter how good he is............ and at the moment he appears very good, it's doubtful we could afford to do that, I believe he is already our highest-paid manager ever.  Unfortunately this is St Mirren, cloth is cut accordingly.

All true. 

I would like to think Goodwin leaving for Aberdeen will act as a cautionary tale. 

 

Aberdeen fans on my train in.

[Dare]

Hopefully a sell-out today - this team deserves backing and Robbo has given us something to get excited about. Looking forward to watching McMenamin who is starting to come onto a game. Big crowd with both teams going at it and 🤞we come out on top.

COYS !!

Looks like it's going to be jumping both home and away. Hope you see some miserable faces in red shirts on the way back home. A very difficult but, with home advantage, very winnable game. What an incentive to tower above the two @rsecheeks in a lofty first position. COYS.

I thought you had to be abroad to buy the PPV? Or am I talking sh!te as usual? 

[stlucifer]

Up until now it was the case but it looks like things have changed. About time if it has.

You csn use a VPN Jimmy. That fools the provider into thinking you're abroad.

Today I'll be in Croatia.

Normally do but because of when it is being played anyone can do ppv.

[FTOF]

The SKY deal allows clubs to show five home games per season on PPV.

Sky Sports confirm new SPFL TV deal as PPV option revealed for Premiership clubs - Football Scotland

Given the size of the Aberdeen support it's a no brainer and should make a fair bit of money.

[faraway saint]

A bit of a stalemate after the first 15.

Nothing to talk about in the way of chances for either team.
