    I don't mean to blow my own trumpet here, because I played a role in choosing it, but the 2001s team I coach get our kit from TTL too, and it's far nicer than that. 

    In saying that, I kind of like the away one. The home one has far too much white in it. 

    That's almost very good but ends up looking like a cheap rip off mainly because the stitching's horrific.

    Normally if there is an over financing issue you hear complaints from other clubs. I can't be sure there's none, but I've not heard it. There's a few, good well supported teams in the area. South (and North) punched way below their weight for years, so maybe it's just rebalanced things a bit.

    Yep, these things are usually public knowledge, even if they're not meant to be, so if there's no grapevine about it then it's probably unlikely. I shall gladly bow to your knowledge.

    A local guy bought their old park and upgraded it for them, after years of ground sharing elsewhere and dropping down  divisions. I don't know if he gifted it to the club. I expect he is subsidising it to an extent but I've been at midweek league games with about 6/700 at them, so crowds like that would sustain them another couple of divisions up.

    The danger, particularly next season, is going in to a division without any local rivalry to boost crowds.

    Interesting thanks. I just got the impression throughout the game that they were maybe another of those small clubs that had a sugar daddy attracting players that are playing below their level. At the apres match interviews, which I wasn't paying too much attention too, I did pick up something about 'financial input' from someone. 

    I doubt it would have clicked who Carl Finnegan was had Kris not mentioned him above. Apart from him not doing much with Saints he's totally changed his appearance aided by a Pogbaesque stupid haircut. 

  4. When Saints marched to Hampden glory
    Ten years ago, Steven Thompson was attending his first match as a St Mirren fan when the team travelled to Hampden to face Dundee United in the 1987 Scottish Cup final. One hundred and 20 minutes - and an "iconic" Ian Ferguson goal - later, the Paisley side lifted the Scottish Cup.

    2017 - 1987 = 10. From the BBC website,surprise surprise, and repeated on two pages. Yet again, basic stuff.


     

     
  5. Good old football. Must be the only area where your job is communicating verbally to a mass audience but don't need to be able to speak the language properly or string a proper sentence together.
