Applies to all age groups so not relevant to my point
Thierry Small was 18 last season. Ethan Erhahon had 98 first team appearances under his belt by Fraser Taylor’s age.
Man United are about to pay £70 million for a player same age as Fraser Taylor
At age 19/20 it surely shouldn’t be a “risk”?
If they’re not good enough at ages 19/20, I doubt that going to the part time 3rd tier or Northern Irish league is suddenly going to make them capable of playing for us.
At age 19/20 you should at the very least be a first team squad player capable of starting games otherwise you’re never going to be good enough.
Tell that to Jamie Vardy

First time at your new stadium. Good wee ground that. Groundsman should get a 10 year contract pitch looked excellent
Yes. It’s been excellent the last few years.
I’m sure it’s not easy keeping a pitch in good condition, but if we ever tried to go down the plastic route, I reckon I’d go full ‘just stop oil’ at Greenhill Rd.
I know there’s a cost implication, but plastic grass should be banned.
I’d rather play on a shit grass surface than the potential injury lottery surfaces we see at some clubs.
But anyway, yes, it’s very nice to hear from other fans that we do a good job. I hop the unsung groundstaff heroes read this.

I don’t quite understand the problem with SMISA paying 3.5% towards the women’s team when we are paying 30% towards the youth academy. Both are speculative investments.
I think if we’re going to grow the club it should be even more.
The women’s game has the potential to bring in a lot more people to the St Mirren family.
There’s been a lot of posts here about Alan Wardrobe and the old guard, well I for one would like to see the new guard be a lot more inclusive and bringing in the women’s team and the support they have is a good move in my humble opinion.10 -

I may have had a humour bypass this morning, but it gets quite boring seeing posts like this when you look at our dealings overall.
People seem to fixate on the odd deal that we have undersold a player, in order to suit their agenda. However, when you look at it over the piece, especially given our last three or four players we've sold, we have done pretty well with what we've received.
Aye, maybe. I think the original poster was referring to the previous board/owners. You are right in saying that we have been much better in the last few years since we started on the path to becoming fan owned.

Was it not the board’s usual price of 50p and a couple of caramel Freddos?
Nah, it was just regular Freddos mate

A genuine surprise that AW was not elected.
Surely even Mr St Mirren can see now that the majority of fans are not on his side and he has gone about things entirely in the wrong manner.
He tried to pull a page from previous candidate's playbook, but took it a step further and it's backfired.
Draw a line under it and get on with things now. Let that be the end of the ridiculousness.
It didn’t seem to stop him having a go, and there were quite a few folk there who obviously hate the Kibble, although my take on it is they are just the vocal minority.
There was a suggestion to have an independent audit of the facts, because both sides claim to have paper trails, so you’ve maybe not heard the last of this.0 -

Yeah I think that is also fair comment.
I like John Needham a lot, great guy, but I'm surprised and disappointed to see his name at the bottom of a latter like that sent to Alan Wardrop tbh.
Wasn't that long ago that there was a witch hunt to get JN off the board as well!
I also like JN. Don’t know him from Adam, but I get the impression he’s one of us. (If you didn’t giggle at his squinty bridge comment, you’re not a buddie).
However, I’m quite pissed off with Alan Wardrobe, but to ban him from the stadium is OTT. He’s definitely gone too far on a non story, but everybody has a right to make a tit of themselves.
This nonsense really takes the shine off a great year, so please sort it out so we can hopefully enjoy being top 6 for the first time ever (in the modern era - for the pedants)

Steady now…… or you might find yourself involved in a bit of “bare bum boxing!!”

Ryan Flynn has been a stalwart for us in the 5 years we’ve had him. All the young players name check him as a positive influence and also as one of the most skilful footballers in the team.
I for one am very happy to keep him involved in SMFC, even if his playing days are reducing.
I still think he’ll do a job on the pitch, but he’s a guy that we should hang on to for the future. He’s obviously got an eye on a coaching job. Who knows, he might he might even end up as our interim manager when Sir Stephen gets poached by one of the Uglies

I haven't even bothered looking at B&W Army for years. It was, at that stage, full of bat shit conspiracy theories that had no grounding in reality and was clearly the home of likeminded individulas spouting their agenda at each other.
Surprised it's still on the go TBH. Do any actual St Mirren fans still use B&W Army? I'd be shocked if there were many left - or certainly many who would admit it publicly.
No. I finally gave up when there were Covid arguments. I could see it all going down a rabbit hole. Is that what’s happened?

TBF, anyone could go. We can’t refuse a good offer for any player, but I think most of the first team will stay because it seems like a there’s a good spirit in the dressing room and they like what the manager is doing.
Success breeds success, if we lose players I’m confident we’ll bring in people as good if not better. In SR we trust0 -

Just watched this. What an amazing effort. It looks immense. Much better than the plain breeze block. Well done to all that took part.
Totally agree. I sit in the main stand and although I’d heard about it, I had no idea how much work had been done. It all looks amazing and along with the W7 guys has really improved the experience on match days. Well done to everyone involved and who knows, I might even join in with the singing

Looking forward to this. They’re saying it’s the 3rd time we’ve sold out - but i don’t think we’ve sold out this early before. COYS.

Sounds good. Like voting for who the Chairman should be?
Absolutely, AGM is only a few weeks away

So, this chap who wants to run St.Mirren (who are you- you don’t even give us your name), why don’t you join SMISA- because that is the only way you will ever get a chance to do that. If you’re as good as you say you are, then I’m sure you’ll get voted onto the board and maybe even become chairman. St. Mirren are fan owned and there is no way we will ever give that up.
I speak as a SMISA member, although not a particularly active member (due mainly to work commitments and not living near Paisley) and a season ticket holder.
If you want to invest in the club financially, I’m sure we can find a way for you to do this, but the days of individuals buying their way into the board are gone, unless you can get some of the smaller shareholders to sell you their shares.The whole point of St. Mirren becoming fan owned was to avoid this scenario.
Which gets me on to the issue of SMISA at present, I also got the email this morning- but it looks fairly reasonable to my eyes. I don’t know any of the past or present board, but in my experience all organisations will have some level of infighting. But the way to make sure nothing sinister is going on is to have as large a membership as possible, who can keep checks on what is happening and then use your vote to influence the direction of the board/ club.
It does dismay me to hear regularly of people giving up their membership because they don’t agree with this person or that person, because if we all did that then we would be back in the situation of only a handful of people running the club and surely that is exactly what fan ownership is meant to stop.
Anyway, sorry for the long post- but I don’t do it often, think of it as me just saving up all the smaller ones everyone else does

I see we have sold out for the Hearts game on Friday. Does anyone know how many tickets we were allocated

I've just read that it's $10k per day that each player is with the squad including the official "preparation period".
Is the $10k not split between the clubs he played for in the past 2 years?
If so, then we’re only going to get a fraction of that0 -

Honestly, man. f**k off.
Your ‘patter’ is fucking horrific. The club let you design a kit once upon a time and I’ve got that up there with the hiring of Tommy Craig as the worst decision the club has ever made.f**k you and your shite Da jokes, you absolute cancer.
Wow. Just wow. I hope you’re a sad and lonely wee man, because I wouldn’t like to be anywhere near you. Issues…….

If we lose Jim - which looks increasingly likely - I think trying to get Jack Ross back is easily best option. Would just like things to progress very quickly. We have 2 games coming up which with wins would put as very close to top 6. We don't need this right now.
We’re top 6 now. Win against Livi and Dundee and we are in 4th.
Good position to be in if we’re looking for a manager1 -
I have been on this site for a while now, but this is my 1st post, and I’m only doing it because I hope the club read it.
GET GRIFFITHS TAE………Have you not seen the backlash at Raith
Thank you,
a SMISA member and season ticket holder

The white pattern on the black stripe makes it look grey. We play in black and white, not grey and white. Option 2 for me, even though I prefer black shorts

Goodbye and good riddance. We don’t need an Edinburgh *** on here telling us what to think or say about one of our ex players.
Carson acted like a fanny and got the abuse on Saturday that he deserved. His new team got pumped and we move on(wards) and upwards. I doubt we’ll even bother with him next time we meet.
ps Have you got a sore neck looking up at us in the table
