G_&_T Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Is this a complete sell out, yet? I understand John Needham was confident Killie would sell out their allocation? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable we've even got close to selling out given how brutally bad we are away from home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I alluded to it in a previous post - it’s because your team are in a perilous position, and you are rallying around your team in numbers. I don’t like your playing surface, but, that aside, (insert birthday caird’ pish)… hope you stay up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're smashing this on Saturday. In all seriousness, arguably the seventh biggest club in Scotland: Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen, Hibs, Dundee Utd & then Kilmarnock. Quite an accolade given the size of the town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us taking 1500 to Paisley is not unusual, it's the norm. We are somehow still taking big crowds away from home, have done all season, it's April and we have 2 points away from home.

Much rather be a wee diddy club with a wee diddy stadium that does not look empty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is utter shite just now but in my 30 odd years of going we've been relegated once, Europe 5 times, 2 cup wins and umpteen top six finishes. Unfortunately we're rank rotten just now but can't complain overall. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Mirren and Kilmarnock have local “rivals” that over the last 50years have struggled to even establish themselves in the top flight yet would argue that they are somehow better. I started watching St Mirren in the mid 70s and enjoyed the glory decade between 77-87. I think around that time Kilmarnock were very much a yo-yo club. Hopefully we will look back on a period in the future where 2023 sees the Saints back into Europe once more 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 Was convinced Killie would win this. Horrendous away form, St Mirren with a big crowd, the inevitable St Mirren top 6 bottle job. Killie fans starting the "we're a massive club" chat has changed that. The footballing gods hate that chat from no mark clubs and they get punished accordingly. A 4-0 St Mirren win now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our stadium is too big, same way yours is too small but we're both stick with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our stadium is too big, same way yours is too small but we're both stick with them. Our ground has sold out about half a dozen times. It might not be the most aesthetically pleasing place, but I'm not sure it could genuinely be argued that it is too small. There is also the option to fill in the corners if needs be. Some positive aspects of having a stadium the size of SMP is that maintenance costs are manageable, it can generate a decent atmosphere when packed out, and we can earn revenue from its use for U21 games and women's matches, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
