PauloPerth Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 League Cup draw is this Wednesday at 1pm. https://spfl.co.uk/news/premier-sports-cup-group-stage-draw-202425 It’s better since they removed the geographical grouping got the draw nonsense. Purely in terms of stadia I’ve never seen us play at, I’d like two of the following away from home: Falkirk, Stranraer, Peterhead, Annan, Bonnyrigg, Edinburgh City, Spartans, Dumbarton, Queens Park. Not too much to ask. Would be nice if we bother to be prepared for the first game in mid July this year, rather than the complete shambles we’ve been the past two seasons! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Queens Park will be in seed pot 2 and we will be in pot 1 we would play them at home if we drew them Having visited the new Meadowbank this season you are not missing much if we get Edinburgh City 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Surely we’ll get an easier draw than last year. What chance did we have? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand it seems low, on the other when you think of what seemed to be his situation when he joined (from Cambridge United, not certain to even be first choice), it sounds like something that couldve happened. Sounds like whatever the fee is, multiple clubs have already triggered it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Mitov was a sensational signing. If we've had to put in a low minimum release clause in his contract to get him then so be it. His saves and performances kept us in the division. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theyellowbox Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 (edited) If Mitov has a clause, then it's one that saints probably put in reluctantly. Better to get him with a clause and have that one good season, than not to have signed him at all. Question is will/can we reinvest any fee received or does it go to cover the expected losses this season. On the season tickets, well done to the club for the promo, but the big sell will be once we know what owner, manager, retained players and ambition we have next season. More of them same and I'm not sure they will shift that many. Edited May 27 by Theyellowbox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably naively hoping the new chairman's first act will be effectively resetting and forgetting about previous losses, and setting his own budgets. Cambridge seem to be all about slowly building the club up over the course of multiple years to catch up income wise, while knowing some losses will be needed on the way to be able to achieve what they want on the park. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Let's hope that Steve Brown had f**k all to do with the Mitov clause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 No idea if the clause being quoted is true. Wouldn't be shocked if there is one though. Clause or no clause I doubt he'll be here beyond the summer. It would be daft of Saints to allow him to leave for nothing next summer too. If he wants to go and you can get 300k... Bye bye. 300k providing they can get a goalkeeper on a free transfer if Mitov is sold mow gives the manager the opportunity to start building the squad asap and avoids the "need to wait for that takeover". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shibbydoo Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 Hopefully sneak a sell on clause in there, if he does just as well at a bigger club! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJFCtheTeamForMe Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 (edited) Seeing quite a few complaining about the price increase. Were fans genuinely expecting there not to be one? People complaining about it being a 12% increase. If you use that single figure in isolation it may seem bad but hasn't the prices been frozen, in the East Stand anyway for something like 5+ years? Obviously you don't want the price to increase but the reality is Saints are losing over a million pound a year, year after year with costs increasing. The same fans can't then continually expect and call for "better signings", "the stadium repaired", "a better pitch" and all the other things fans have been calling for while also expecting to pay the same season ticket prices as they were a number of years ago. The cost of living issue is without question a complete shit show but there's not much Saints can do about that.

The cost of living issue is without question a complete shit show but there's not much Saints can do about that. It's also still cheaper than pretty much every other club in the league. Looking at early bird prices elsewhere, it's £105 less to sit in the East Stand at McDiarmid for the season than it is to sit in the Derry at Dens, minimum £75 cheaper than the George Fox at Tannadice, £30 cheaper than County, £20 cheaper than Motherwell, for example. It's always crap when you have to pay more for something, but it's still cheaper than it realistically could have been if they benchmarked it against other similar clubs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_B Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 It's actually not easy to find historic season ticket prices - but as an example our renewals in 2017/18 were £315 for an East Stand adult. So seven years later the price has only increased £40 -less than 15% - despite everything that has happened in the interim period. We've been lucky that prices have been frozen for so long. And we must be just about the cheapest season ticket in the league now? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most expensive when you break it down to price per home goal though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
