Brilliant response from St Mirren fans.
Us doing likewise is one of the best decisions we've made in years.

Partick Thistle team group for 1971-72.
The reserve goalkeeper Ian Dick's wife worked beside my father and through him I got loads of autographs from numerous clubs in the late 60s when he was on our books.
Also is the Archie Lochrie at the back right the same guy who played for Arthurlie in the Junior Cup final in 1981. If so he was a great player at that level.

Tremendous result, loved watching you win in Norway last night, shame about your American commentator, have you no got a better one than that?
Good luck in the next round lads
I thought the commentator was great.
Booked for Copenhagen next week, an added bonus after going to Brugge.

Thought Arthurlie were very good first 25/30 minutes, scored a good goal, and it took 2 cracking saves from Gordon to keep VoC in it. After that though, I agree, Vale were better team and had chances to win it at the end. The free kick the Arthurlie players took right at death kind of summed up how they played!
Good summary of the game. VOC number 11 was the best man on the pitch.
Disappointed how Arthurlie played, hopefully they'll get better as the season progresses.

Yip, big improvements need all round.

Hope all St Mirren fans have as good a time as we had in Brugge.

Aye was just, badly, wondering if you think your home support will be affected by the pricing.
I expect so. Perhaps there will be a lot more 'Concession' tickets sold this season.
I'm tempted to do likewise where QR codes are used
I think Kilmarnock have scored a massive own goal here, especially now there is a lot of positivity and momentum around the club.
I'll be eligible for a concession ticket in 2 years time but by then I'll most likely be paying what I have been paying for an adult ticket in recent years.
Others have made reference to the price of gigs - likewise here I probably now go to about half the number of concerts I went to up pre covid because of this.
I'm going to see Paul Heaton in December and it is costing about £40, which is much less than others are charging. Funnily enough it's almost sold out .

I highly doubt you're raising prices just to play us, so presumably that's your standard price for this season.
I just used you as an example as that was the the game our ridiculous pricing is first implemented. I thought that was fairly obvious. I will apply the same logic to other clubs.
I fully expect that to be our standard pricing for home and away walk up fans for most league matches, except those games against the cheeks.
No way I'm paying any club £30 to get in, probably with the exception of St Mirren, as that's local to me. I'll simply go and watch Arthurlie or Neilston when we are playing away from home.

Kilmarnock taking the absolute piss for a Kilmarnock v St Johnstone match
£84 for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 12 year olds) is wild.
That IMO is an absolute joke and if the likes of St Johnstone charge us £30 to get in I'll be at very few away games this season.
Even the pricing for concession tickets and child tickets is disgraceful.
I can see away attendances falling considerably if these prices remain.

If over half the teams have big budgets shouldn't they be considered average budgets
That's too clever for some A!!

Gilroy was my brother's P.E. teacher and he reminded us this week that his P.E. teacher had been manager of Valur.
Gilroy was a good guy, certainly made football more prominent in my time at the Grammar, rather than rugby.

I’m down in the big smoke for Springsteen at Wembley tomorrow night. Won’t check my phone at all until after the gig has ended. Might be the last time I ever see The Boss…. It won’t be the last time St Mirren are away in Europe. We’re box office.
Will get the result on my phone as we head to the exits and the tube back into town… I hope I’ll be dancing in the dark.
COYS!
I'm going down to London tomorrow to see Springsteen on Saturday night thinking the same as you, so i'm going to miss the Killie home tie. Booked the tickets when thinking of Kilmarnock playing in Europe was not on the radar. Going to Brugge next week though.
Hope you enjoy the concert and the Saints get a good result.
I remember posting something on here before about Joe Gilroy being a PE teacher at Paisley Grammar and I think you responded - he used to wear a tracksuit with 'Valur' on the back as he'd been manager there before coming back to Scotland and managing Morton.
Apologies if I have the wrong person.

Any idea why the main stand is empty?
Scotland played 3 games in a week at Hampden in 1974 (11/05/74 - 18/05/74) due to the fact no internationals were being played in Northern Ireland at the time because of the troubles.
We had lost 1 - 0 to Northern Ireland 3 days before this game so that probably had an impact on the crowd, which was just under 42,000. Almost 54,000 had attended the Northern Ireland game and 4 days later almost 95,000 watched us beat England 2 - 0 at Hampden , just before going to the World Cup in Germany.
That was the week the Jimmy Johnstone boat incident occurred at Largs, and he went out and played a blinder.

Was at the Brugge derby in November with my son. Back again this week with my wife, this was our tea.
I had Brugse Zot when over in Brugge in April, and was definitely the best beer I had then.
Looking forward to a few more when back over for the game.

£800 quid flights
£12 a pint
12 degrees and pishing it down the whole time we are there….
Bring it on!
I was in Iceland in January and got pints in a bar called Bravo on Laugavegur in Reykjavik for roughly £5 a time during their happy hour, which lasted around 5 hours.

Really envious of you guys getting such a good tie. For us either Iceland or Albania are going to be logistically or financially difficult so can't imagine many travelling especially to Iceland where the whole ground capacity is just over 2000 so tickets will be in short supply . Also we can't book till a week before the game as it's not obvious who we'll be facing. Neither club has given us a ticket allocation yet either
I fully intend to go though. Had thought about waiting till the next round and maybe a better draw but given experience of other Scottish sides we might be out by then.
Best of luck on your travels
Was talking to some of my St Mirren supporting friends who were telling me just how expensive the travel is to Iceland, so much so they will not travel there if that is where the away leg is.
Shame as they weren't able to travel the last time St Mirren were in Europe and had been really looking forward to going abroad with them.

Can't wait for this as I didn't get a ticket for Connah's Quay and booked for Belgrade on the assumption we'd get through the first tie.
It was the first chance I had to go abroad with Killie with my father and brother, but we all know what happened next.
It's now too much hassle for my father to go (he's 87), so a bit bitter sweet going this time. Hopefully will get 2 tickets for my brother and I.
Was in Brugge in April and am excited to go back as its a beautiful city with lots to do and see. Also some great Belgian beers to taste.

Beith sign Ricky little from Arbroath
Think that's a good signing for Beith.
The year Arbroath ran us close for the league I thought he was their best player.

Referred by Dundee ref Bob Valentine too.
I didn't realise until recently that he was a linesman for the France v West Germany WC semi-final and was instrumental in Schumacher not getting sent off for his assault on Battiston. He also reffed the infamous West Germany v Austria match. No wonder the Germans love the Scots!
I only found that out too last week as I was telling my grandson about that tackle on Battiston.
Never ever forgave him after his performance, some would say cheating, in the 1982 Scottish Cup Quarter Final tie verses Aberdeen at Pittodrie, when he gave them 2 ridiculous penalty kicks.
We only ever got him once again, to the best of my knowledge, after that and he was barracked the whole game .

.......... and for a six month spell in 1969 , John Duncan was a PE student/teacher in the John Neilson school !
Didn't know that he had been there, albeit it was before my time.

celtic park reckon late 60s
Cheers, I thought it might have been that place, but it's definitely in the 70s as some of the players there didn't play for Kilmarnock until the 70s.
I suspect it's this game from November 1970

My father got the train down from Paisley after finishing work and arrived late, just after Eintracht Frankfurt had gone 4 nil up on aggregate.
Thought the tie was definitely over but the rest is history.
To this day he says it's the greatest game he ever saw.
