Something feels wrong at the club at the moment (aside from the obvious). Incredible how quickly things can change, when you consider where we were last year, especially with the buzz around the club, the support, the manager, etc. As a point of interest why did they decide upon taking the injured fan out of the stadium through W7,when it’s a seperate stand altogether from where the away fans are situated. Not excusing any of the despicable spitting behaviour, but it strikes me as strange that this was the chosen route out of the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, certainly a strange decision, but you'd like to think a fan being stretchered out of a ground would be basically safe no matter which part of the ground it was happening in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been a decision made by first aid/police etc. Quote Given the seriousness of the injury the decision was taken to remove the fan by the quickest means possible which was through the vomitory at W7. However as CS states, where the injured party was taken out shouldn't have been an issue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not disagreeing or taking issue if someone is injured,then the relevant emergency services should take whatever route they deem necessary. It was more a question of why other fans were asking about it on the twitter feed. It seems like the ones responsible can’t properly be identified from cctv footage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet of the Macabre Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Every support has its scum element. Glad to see St Mirren plan on banning those guilty for life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddie06smfc Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 The ambulance usually sits towards the family stand add to the fact that camera trucks usually sit across the corner between the West stand and the away stand would make it difficult access. I can see the logic in wheeling the guy out by W7. Spitting is deplorable and the route taken to wheel the injured guy out should not even be up for discussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be a public apology from the club if this does turn out to be a crock of shecht. Unfortunately the damage has been done. It increasingly looks like the club is being run by a bunch of amateurs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the damage has been done. It increasingly looks like the club is being run by a bunch of amateurs. No chance they will apologise. They seem to forget there is a whole load of future adult season ticket holders in W7 that could get put off coming back through the gate after the way they have been treated by the stewards, police and now the club. The negative headlines are out there now though, the damage has been done. At least it has taken the attention off another piss poor result and fellow fans falling out all over the shop. W7 will be used by away fans next season and the place will return to being a grey shoe box with no atmosphere.I wonder how many folk will cancel their SMISA membership too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, I could be tempted. I'm about as non-knee-jerky as it's possible to be, so will see how this pans out. Bear in mind that if we go down, there'll be little point selling W7 to away fans as there won't be any games that require it. Or do you mean only W7 to be used by them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paisleysaints Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 What a difference a year makes. From a club on the up. We seem to be sinking on and off field very quickly. Absolute mess but I'll still be there to see us get pumped in our next home game unfortunately lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I assumed that for a club to issue a statement accusing its own supporters of some deplorable behaviour it would be at least 99.9% that it happened. If we have genuinely put out a statement claiming our fans spat on a guy who was unconscious and that hasn't happened then good grief. I would say whoever wrote/approved the statement should be fired but as it was almost certainly the chairman then that won't be the case. Not that any of this excuses fans spitting at other fans, which does seem to have happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that any of this excuses fans spitting at other fans, which does seem to have happened. I've been looking at twitter and here and to be honest ended up confused by the whole thing! It seems there is massive distrust between W7 fans, the police and the club. As far as I gather some spitting occurred but the circumstance are wrong? In any case spitting is poor form. Shame for the guys in W7 who started it as it seemed excellent if some hangers on are spoiling it. I have no doubt the club want to sell additional away tickets too and the opening up of West Stand to home supporters is a massive barrier to that, especially now as we're shite. Our relegation would probably limit that need anyway! 20 hours ago, buddie06smfc said: The ambulance usually sits towards the family stand add to the fact that camera trucks usually sit across the corner between the West stand and the away stand would make it difficult access.

Alert Mongoose Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 It does sound a bit far fetched. I know the St Mirren crowd can get a bit angry and like a boo but surely fans wouldn't go that far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
