I got one when I was 60, hardly use the thing. I actually walked to McDiarmid from Methven Street once, must have taken me about half an hour. Another ground dumped in the middle of nowhere, Muirton was far better.

I would swap Muirton location for McD anyday however the land at McD is worth £20,000,000 so it was a shrewd move by GB.

Free bus pass is a braw thing, i used mine once to get from Inverness to Perth for a game but afrer a night in the Royal i paid for the train back next day!

The retractable roof is the sticking point, the council don't seem keen on it. Dens is a 5 minute walk from the Hilltown, would need twa buses to get to the new ground. That's progress tho. 

You can use your pass!

I’m sure he said Geoff had been in touch before that game

Spot on Dave. he said Geoff phoned him on Tuesday.

This has the potential to be a great appointment, he deserves our full support.

He is probably the highest profile person to ever come in and manage saints.

Wishing him all the best and looking forward to prelonged stay in the top flight.

Gets my vote. Well done saints, great appointment.

Saints reporting over 2,000 now sold.

Season ticket map showing 2,941 .

Over 2,000 is great with a month to go. 

31/7 last year was 2,429 plus padded seats which are not easy to count. 

Info coming from Saints better this week but could do with some new signings to push numbers forward. 

Will be interesting to see post 23rd seat renewal day data, hopefully we'll over 2,000.

2,424 this year in East and Main , down just 5 on last season.

East is up 20 tickets and Main down 25.

Padded is around 160 so total 2,600, thats way better than i thought it might be.

Just need a team on the pitch playing attacking football and scoring goals, next 2 weeks recruitment is crucial to  our SPFL survival.

Are RC playing a blinder of a game or they are not up against much and a sitting comfortably with the 1-0 lead?

They were much sharper than us. Their number 4 was causing endless problems diwn the right  and we did nothing to stop it.

Phillips played ok but no support.

Keeper kept the score respectable.

Carey plenty ball but little options to play to.

From back to front it needs surgery.

On that display cant see anything other than bottom 2 or 3 at best.

Long season ahead, Dundee game will be massive.

Top 6 here we come.

This looks like it could be a tremendous signing - only 23, bags of experience, great age. Played a lot of games 

 

 

Sounds good, will he play tomorrow?

Glad to have seen you play many times, one of our best ever , RIP, Bless them all.

All a bit quiet on the signings , must be something positive happening soon as new players need to fit in ASAP.

Last summers signings happened as follow:

16 th June Wright and Considne,28/6 Montgomry,1/7 Carey,5/7 Murphy, 22/7 McGowan, 26/7 Sandford, 27/7 Mitchell and Matthews, 10/8 Philips, 30/8 Clark, 1/9 McLennan.

No way we are signing 12 this window but surely some good news due now with further developments over the next week.

Seat map now updated and its looking good considering pressure on finance's. 

2,097 (ex padded) which is up 108 on same point last year.

Hopefully we can break through 2,500 before SPFL kicks off.

2,886 reserved as of 15th June.

Figure on 14/7/22 last count I did was 2,362 

Up 554 which will include all new tickets since 14/7 last year including half year tickets. May include some where moved to new seat.

Folk have until 23rd June to renew existing seats after which a clearer picture of numbers will emerge as non renewed seats become available. 

As it stands looks like numbers holding up well.

Kyle Turner apparently coming in, decent player, Tommys son 

Sounds exciting,  you don't half pick up some good info, hope this comes off.

I wonder if the increased knowledge of our under 12s deal has caused an increase in away fans attending as well? It is impressive considering the 18/19 figure will feature a couple of other home game against well support teams in comparison to this season.

The under 12 deal helps but we benefited from getting Hibs and Aberdeen as first 2 home games just under 6 000 at each.

Then big Hearts support on 28/12 followed 3 days later by big united support 7 058 and 7116.

Aberdeen again at 6 001 and hibs again at 6787 followed by post split v united at 7071.

Plus 3 games against the OF all over 7,000.

Getting a team when they are on a good run Hearts and Hibs, or there is a lot at stake per utd post split has helped the numbers.

Will be interesting to see how the fixtures pan out this year.

If county go down Aberdeen could get Dundee as local Derby and we could end up with shitty livingston or we might get Dundee at home at New Year.

4362 today, thats fantastic, assume few livingston

That takes the 19 game total to 101,135 with an average of 5,322.

That's about 25,000 extra bums on seats with over 20,000 extra paying to get in after the freebies are taken into account. 

Don't know what the average ticket price is or how many would be free child with an adult places but the numbers definitely an improvement and the income  generated along with the 9th place finish should offset some of bloated squad spending.

positive news indeed. i wonder what impact the free tickets in last couple of games have had on these stats?

Won't make much difference as only a small percentage of the overall 96,773 plus previous years stats would have also included some free tickets.

Impressive, given this has been achieved against a backdrop of a cost of living crisis, relegation battle, barely any good results at home and probably the worst football I've watched over a sustained period at McDiarmid Park.

Can I ask what source you use for attendance figures? I usually look at transfermarkt.co.uk but their figures vary a bit from yours. According to them our average is over 1,000 higher than last season, which seems crazy given last season was the first season back after Covid and the Double win.
