sergie's no1 fan Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I've not followed other teams that closely, but I'm surprised Livi are at that level.They won't be reliant on gate money, and will have hit the jackpot in prize money this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had a couple of great seasons. It's utterly frustrating seeing teams like Livi and the farmers punching above their weight while we meander around the relegation slots. I mean fair play to them, but it would be nice to see us properly "kick on" because we have the club structure to do that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my hat off to Livingston they've been excellent since coming up. I really thought they would struggle last year after losing a few important players. I'm under no illusions that we should be regularly pushing for top 6 or anything, but it would be nice to see a season now and again where we're an arms length from relegation. In recent times we've seen Ross County, Falkirk, ICT, Livingston all finish in the top 6 at some point. I suppose we can't complain of boring seasons as a Saints fan! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stabilisation of a manager is paramount if we are to progress you cant move forward as a club if you keep changing the manager each of whom will have diffrent ideas on the squad and at training. Jim Goodwin is the right man for us it takes time though. Our income has been reduced drastically, so far we have shifted almost 2,500 season tickets. Hopefully that will grow a bit more- the squad will reflect our drop in earnings . Was it around 4,000 season tickets 2919/2020 ? The real danger for Scottish football is a second wave of covid19 in the winter I'm sure that would destroy a lot of the lower league clubs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems unlikely we had 4,000 season tickets last season- we were getting 4,200-4,500 fans for games in total including away supports. Would suspect we had around 3,000-3,500. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZingaliMan Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Great show by Saints fans then if we are around 2,500 at the moment. Edit Hibs v Saints given to green light for Saturday. Wonder if buddie vision will have highlights on Sunday, probably not. Edited July 9, 2020 by ZingaliMan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Literally just bought my season ticket there. Used to work weekends so couldn't commit. Have a bit of security re: my job for the forseeable and now in a Mon-Fri role so pleased to finally get one! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FTOF Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Open top bus circuit around the Gorgie shithole before the game, with Jon up top singing Status Quo's "Deeper and down". I'm sure there's an unused open top bus from 2013 sitting in a garage somewhere. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough I'd have loved to have seen what Jack Ross could have achieved with us but he got a very good offer. After that it was all a shambles, all the good work we had done as a club was thrown out the window with one piss poor appointment. Wonder where we could have finished last season.Feels as if we are back to square one a bit but most teams are in the same boat. Whoever has the worst luck with injuries will find it very tough this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 From the PDE: "We’re relatively far down the line with one of them. Another one of those positions we feel we have to fill has had an offer." https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/jim-goodwin-insists-patience-vital-22333064 Last week he said we were close with two - guessing Sheron was one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulysses Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I know we need a centre half but got to imagine that left back is one of the targeted positions. I know Tait can play there but you'd imagine he'll be RB. Would rather see Ethan getting a run out at CM as that's his natural position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
