Yep, Scotland's recording break 100 point win v Japan. Some day. There's been loads of high profile rugby games at McDiarmid. From Grouse's point of view the hospitality facilities are ideal so I expect their must be a reason it's not being used. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radford Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 When you are happy to put mats down and let thousands trample on a three-week old grass pitch, objecting to a rugby game in August seems kind of after the horse has bolted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, that's the date for the Betfred Cup Second round. The Rugby is scheduled to start at 2 as apparently they're having some events before and after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know you could grow a grass pitch in 3 weeks but I'm no horticulturist so shall bow to your knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 f**k famous grouse. They proudly display the name of Perth on their bottles even though they fucked off out the city years back and took a fair few jobs with them. They could invest in Saints as Perth's only professional proper sports team. Instead, they back a weegie team playing a minority sport most folk don't care about. And all because their CEO/ Scottish area manager is probably some private school rugby loving hater of the game of the people. And no doubt members of our local council who also enjoy drinking pints of their own urine will be complicit in the whole sordid affair. It deserves to fail. Spoiler The netballers are more than welcome though. Moving on, the South or North Inch would be brilliant for St Johnstone's stadium. City centres are where football stadia belong. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No expert in this but they're both flood plains are they not? - surely asking for trouble. I get the point you're making though.

Im sure they could sort the drainage these days, and the North Inch has flood banking now, but yes both were traditionally flood plains. It was more the involving the city centre in Saints games I was aiming for, other suitable sites would be considered! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radford Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I make it that every club in last season's Premiership (plus St Mirren) have now paid a fee for a player in the past 12 months, except one... We haven't paid one since the summer of 2009? Certainly not for a first team player? There's been the odd pennies for an U20 player IIRC. You can never be too careful when you only have £2 million in the bank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I say, it's barely noticeable, but im certain it was reported we gave Motherwell "compensation" to end his contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
