nice away day win.... not home this year, but can imagine its fine day out for christmas glory hunters

I was that person, going for more glory on Sat too :-)  Nice to meet some old WAP acquaintances today. COYS let’s finish the year on a high.

 

We have just arrived at the city gate hotel in Vilnius,anyone already here found anywhere decent for food?

My apartment host was recommending Leiciai Aline 

80 beers from Lithuanian microbreweries traditional Lithuanian food - stikliu st just off the main Rd down from town hall.

the trad food is a dish called Cepelinai which is meat and potato dumplings with a creamy mushroom sauce I believe!

anybody else having trouble phoning Lithuanian numbers from their mobile? 

Just booked 

doncaster/Sheffield Wizz Air £220

mon night, back Friday night

if anyone fancies it I can pick them up from Sheff train station and take them to airport for the Mon flight.

COYS

 

In Dubai for first leg Kate, you heading to Vilnius? 

Would like to Dave, but nobody I know going 

Wouldn't be much fun on my own. Regards Billy nae Mates 

Ooh liking the added sophistication of the Camper Bar Co. 

I think I might toddle along for a pre match swally.

I'm holding a fundraiser this Friday in Sheffield for Cardiac Risk in the Young to help raise funds for heart screening for 14-35 year olds.

There are screenings in Dundee and Perth this month which can be booked online at www.c-r-y.org.uk

CRY believe these screenings could dramatically reduce the number of young people who die every week from undiagnosed heart defects.

As part of the fundraiser we are having an online Silent Auction that anyone can bid on, finishing at 4pm this Friday. 

If you're a snooker, golf, rugby or football fan there might be something that catches your eye.

There's  also jewellery for those loved ones.

I'll be in Perth week after so I can bring your winning item with me

Have a look here:

Happy Bidding !

The exiles thread never fails to disappoint 

I'll go:

1. Joe 

2. Liam

3. Foster

The fact that this is the top topic on the forum and there's no thread for the game this weekend really sums up WAP these days.

 

They should get the away stand and that's it. 

**** grovelling for their money. I'd rather be supporting a part time club than be beholden to those degenerates.

Interesting. You would seriously rather be in a lower league sat watching football in crowds of 500-1000 opeople (or less)  than give up your seat 3-4 times a year for Saints to stay in the Premiership ?

I love my team, but there still has to be a level of entertainment and atmosphere at a game for me to enjoy it.

You're never going to keep everyone happy all of the time. However, people need to get a grip and realise how difficult it is for a club like St Johnstone to keep going with the average gate receipts they get week in week out. There's no Stevie May or O'Halloran fees coming in this year.... where do people think the future quality players are coming from, without money?

extra peices of silver, or a contribution towards a decent striker for next season.....

 

Don't know about the rest but..... I went down to the ticket office on saturday with a couple of boys fae Creiff and it was shut. That was 2 tickets for me and about 6-7 for them lost, because of that. They spend all that effort to get extra bodies in for the Hamilton game and then slam the door in yer puss the next week?

I definitely think Saints slipped up there. Not sure how well they advertised their opening hours locally, but I'm surprised they weren't open even for a few hours on the Sat.

 

A swathe of fans refuse to go to games against Celtic/Rangers, for fairly obvious reasons. 

If you're going to suggest us giving more stands to Celtic then GTF, I'd rather lose £400k a season than give them rodents the whole stadium. The extra policing it would cost over a larger stand would nullify any "profit" anyway. 

Eloquently argued RG. Silly me I was forgetting Saints are absolutely rolling in it, and have no need for a few extra hundred thousand pounds a year. I'll just GTF back to my capitalist little world, where funnily I have to maximise the revenue in my business to keep people in jobs and generate a profit for reinvestment.

I was surprised at how empty the east stand was yesterday. Where did the extra 700 fans from the Hamilton game go?

I know it's been debated before but surely when there's a opportunity to fill the ground and generate more revenue for the club it should be done?

Feeling physically sick after that and the love in with Rodgers and the panel. 

We finally hear from Tommy...

Am going

Nice to see Saints fan Eilidh Barbour being involved with interviews.

more than the SPFL have ever done! V. Funny by the way.

Looking like a few problems around the country. Heading up on train from Sheffield this afternoon but probs with overhead lines at Alnmouth. Looks like it's going to be a long journey

looking forward to the new flag..... 

It's over
