Coventry Saint Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Lewis Morgan saying the right things about staying on for the season:http://www.eveningtimes.co.uk/sport/15392315.Lewis_Morgan_happy_to_stay_at_St_Mirren_and_ignore_the_speculation/ Goes without saying that a big bid would still lure him away, but looks like he's happy to continue his development with us. He undoubtedly has what it takes to be a real stand out in the league this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingscot Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Yep, keeping Morgan might be difference maker this season. Losing both Mallan, Morgan and McAllister in 6 months would be a blow. Disappointed we couldn't get Loy too, but he has a good relationship with Falkirk and I guess we didn't want to spend as much. He's probably one of the highest paid players in the league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyg Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Nathan Flanagan has signed a new deal but will go out on loan , probably to East Fife. Still three spaces in the squad according to JR , with at least two coming in on loan ! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what Jack or James' contacts are like south of the border. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this guy is going into the under-20s but because he's tweeted it he'll be subject of "Whatever happened to" posts on B&W Army every few months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young gun Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 What about Kyle McAlister on loan ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 FAO Falkirk fans Pretty sure Falkirk will have sold more STs than us.Good going for us though.3 signings to go, every single one is vital.On paper only Smith and MacKenzie have been marquee signings imo. Gavin Reilly hit over double figures in his 2 seasons with Queens at this level before he moved to Hearts, got a bit of faith in him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt it: http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/derby-county-winger-wants-to-make-up-for-lost-time/story-30426920-detail/story.html Would rather we let him develop with there so there's more chance of the add ons being triggered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have but they love a good obsess over season ticket sales. Pretty sure we've already passed last seasons uptake with a full month to go.

djchapsticks Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 5th of July last year we were on 1,929 season tickets sold. A 700 like-for-like jump in numbers is huge for us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genuine question why do you think that happens? I would have thought you could be up around the 1500 to 1800 mark after a successful season last year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly hope sales are up on last year after the season we've just had and the new ticketing/turnstile systems in place, but probably years of achieving hardly anything, stagnating in the Championship and a poor relationship between the club and supporters are the real reasons. There's been significant changes on and off the park over the past year or so however, with a bit more ambition being shown and the club being ran a lot more professionally off the park so hopefully we'll gradually see an increase. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't ever really had a big group of ST holders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mylothedog Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 Work down in Greenock and have seen more kids in Morton gear over the last few months, which hopefully translates to bigger crowds. It's the same with most teams to an extent, win more games and more fans will turn up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think that Morton will be in the top 3 of the championship. Thompson McHugh and Quitongo will be more than a handful for any defence in this league. Looking forward to the derby games and a better season where we aren't scrapping about the bottom 4. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falkirk, St Mirren, Dundee U and Morton are my top four. Although it's so competitive that you can't really rule out ICT and Dunfermline either. Once again, a really competitive division to look forward to and the battle for the play off spots looks really exciting too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of the six teams you mention, you can maybe make a case for United or Falkirk being slight favourites but you can legitimately perm all of them in any order you like as there is very little between any of them on paper. You also have Queens still with signings to come and last year's leading goal scorer and Livi are an unknown quantity having absolutely romped league one last season. I think the part time clubs will find this league a bit too tough for them this time round. A good start will be important this year as in a dog eat dog league, any team that establishes an early lead might be hard to catch! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That early derby is already a six-pointer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
