Guest Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 A good % of roasters! Every section of every stadium has that, no more, no less than any other and not the exclusive preserve of the Main Stand. Houston reacts way too often & way too easily. But I agree support the team first and foremost. You say Mr Safety, I say Mr Stubborn. 3 years of missed opportunities & repeated mistakes. This season more than any other we've blown a golden chance to win the league with consistently baffling signings & selections. Exhibit 1 - to select Baird before all other options is crazy! But that is one of many. 7 games - so support the team fair enough but if we don't go up...how many more games do we give Mr Safety? You like your !'s. Calm down ffs. As I said a good % of that main stand rarely follow the team away from home and go way over the top criticising.If we don't go up and the league has no clubs with huge financial advantage and we decide to spend the war chest I would not give it to Houston personally but he will get the opportunity IMO. Not that I think he has done a particularly bad job but his teams don't get me off my seat TBH. I still have a sneaking suspicion we will go up though or certain get to the final again. Paradoxically I would trust him to keep us up with his pragmatic approach.Time to pull together 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bridge of allan bairn Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I sit in the main stand behind the dugout and am surrounded by thoroughly decent people who in the main are supportive of the players. There are a few complete roasters though whose voices are heard above all others even from some distance. I do think there is a genuine belief among most fans at the moment that certain things aren't working or Kerr and taiwo together and Baird this gets us off on the wrong foot especially like the first twenty minutes yesterday which was awful to watch. Again we ended up the stronger team though imo we ran out of time though so why not start like this or change earlier? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANEWHOPE Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I also sit there, I'd like to think I'm one of the decent people but others around me may have me in the roaster category. Totally agree with your post tho. Good summary. [emoji106] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Morton somehow won the playoffs we could face 3 sides with bigger budgets especially if someone like Dundee came down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spratte Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 we're unlikely to have as much of a gulf financially as we had with rangers hearts and hibs though. ICT/dundee/ hamilton/ motherwell we should be giving them a run for their money tbh thats when i would be expecting us to be title challengers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcat1990 Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was working at the stadium yesterday so went in all the stands and got to say, it's a cracking new stadium that could be rocking with the right crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I was working at the stadium yesterday so went in all the stands and got to say, it's a cracking new stadium that could be rocking with the right crowd. It has done on a good few occasions yeah. St Mirren fans were great yesterday (in terms of noise) but on our day our fans can be an extra man. Was speaking to a couple of people yesterday at the stadium and it's great to hear, finally, a lot of real positive noises being made about the new East stand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear 're the east stand.I think that's where we'd buy our season tickets. Nearest the car and at least is gets some sun! Freezing again yesterday in the main stand despite the sun shining 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freezing again yesterday in the main stand despite the sun shining I'd move to the East stand also. That's where we stood at Brockville (shed) and it'd be a like for like view. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaggerG Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 If the ticket price was the same it would be good if we could move from one stand to another during the game like we did at Brockville. I'd maybe sit in the ES when we're attacking the away end and move round when we switch ends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCBairn Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 I can't see how building an extra stand will improve the atmosphere. We will just end up with three half empty stands. The problem lies on the park a team playing well creates the atmosphere not how many stands you have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the park surrounded by stands will help as would filling in the corners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bridge of allan bairn Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Let u16s and over65s in for free. That means you have 50 years to get ticket money from fans and are playing the community spirit bit with the young and elderly. We'd need to offer something so the 4 stands are as full as the 3 we have now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodes well for the future. Agree with this totally. Absolutely loads of kids at our games. If we can keep building the support like we have over the last few seasons there will be genuine demand for a fourth stand in the not too distant future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
