I got there late due to work and it was fairly busy and looked like a decent set up.

Food available, alot of familiar faces and transport to the game.

Could be really popular next season, as there will be transport to and from the game. A win for those going back to Paisley for a night out.

Like most new things, people will make their own mind up.

For me, chew the fat pre/post game and a beer now and then with fellow buddies.

Positive early signs for any Saints fans IMO, I would recomend anyone to suck it and see.

Not having a go in anyway GeordieBuddie and everyone/anyone is entitled to do their own thing. I'll be carrying on where things were previously purely as the money goes to St Mirren.....I'm not saying it's been handled well or that I'm in agreement with all that the club do.

Got an e mail about a compromise on this Club but it did not say what is was. Anyone know?

Might be a reduction from the earlier proposed annual fee. 

Just saying. 🤔

[elvis]

They have dropped the annual fee to 180 but put the guest fee up to a tenner lol

That should have the passing trade rolling in.

Hi Guinness

For clarification I've received two emails in the last 36 hours re 1877 Club compromise, one form 1877 Club and one from SMiSA.....the 1877 Club email gives the breakdown on what is happening with 1877 Club and has only been sent to members, the SMiSa one is more saying that compromise has been reached and that SMiSA are broadly in agreement with the compromise without going into details.

Thank you. I am not a member so only got the SMISA one. Wondered why I got an e mail that does not really say anything.

My understanding is the refurbishment is a lick of paint on the roof.a few more chairs and panels put round the front of the bar not exactly extensive.

Not even close to your "understanding". 

Not like you to swallow any old shite you pick up from god knows where 🙄

I was reading all about the new club on St. Mirren's Facebook page and noticed someone called Faraway a "fud"! 😄

Unfortunately you're the fud. 🤡

Every post, bar 1, you made in the last 24 hours has been trolling. 

Not even your hilarious reason  that you couldn't make it. 🤣🤣🤣

Things haven't changed on here, I see! 🤣

 

£180 per season's okay if you like a few pints before the game. However, £10 to sign someone in...! 🤯

Here's the reason the charge for signing someone in is reasonable.... 

Say you and I are members, we pay £180 a, year which equates to £10 per game. 

You take a guest to every game at £5 a time...... That's a guest using the club for £90 a season. 

Now members, like me, could be pissed off that a non member gets to use the club for half the price of a member.

A valid point, sir. £10 does seem a lot, though.

I agree with the viewpoint this change in the club's set up could have been managed better and, at least on the surface, some consultation with existing members might, although I doubt it, have resulted in less knee herk reaction. 

Personally I'm not keen on any club set up. Invariably it leads to an official, or unofficial, clique which I'd rather avoid.

It'll be interesting to see the attendance for this Thursday and the eventual members who remain, along with new members.

There was a fair few there. But nothing stood out as a wow as far as changes goes the entrance is a lot better will give them that.
