    Greylag got a reaction from Two Cups 2021 in Rangers tickets   
    I can't see why this game would be attractive to the casual Saints fan.  Grown men urinating in the street, wee groups with cheese and wine parties in the bushes at Tesco, not to mention the nature of the songs.  You'd be put off even before you reached the gates into the car park.  Perhaps it's time to take a leaf out of the old firm book.  No allocation of tickets to Saints fans!  (Outraged responders should note that was tongue in cheek!)
    Having said that I've been leading the Hospital / Audio Descriptive Commentary since 1990 commentating on maybe 85% of the Saints home games.  I could count of the fingers of one hand how many Rangers games I've been to.  There is absolutely no pleasure in it.  (Apart from the couple I was at where we humped them!)
    Even £10 to be in a stadium where two or more stands are filled with fruit-loops who if they all held hands would struggle to reach half-wit status is a big ask.  Supporters or not, we are there to be entertained not intimidated and regaled with 17th century pish.

    Greylag got a reaction from Jonathan Muir in John Muir   
    Saddened to hear of the death of former player John Muir.  He had a few very good seasons in a good Saints side.  He certainly knew his way to goal.  I always felt he did better in the early weeks of each season when the pitches were at their best.  Heavier pitches inevitably saw him get injured.  Great player for us and indeed for Alloa too.

    Greylag got a reaction from Abernethy Saint in Bryson   
    It has power alright.  I got £10,000 of a new build house because the builder couldn't sell number 13.  It's not common in Perth, but elsewhere streets often have no number 13.  I was there 25 years - I'll leave it to others to say whether it affected wheeeeeee!

    A lot of rain over the past couple of days so the pitch will be sodden. Snow hasnt come to much. Cant wait for them to be complaining about the state of the pitch.

    I don't see any issue with a draw purely for season ticket holders.  No doubt at some period during the season the club will offer special entry deals at £10 or £15 to get folk along to a less attractive game or encourage support to an important one.  Every time they do this they reduce the saving in buying a season ticket rather than pay at the gate.  So a draw like this redresses the balance a bit and seems like a decent initiative to me.

    Greylag got a reaction from Wendy Saints in Taxi for Tommy?   
    I wondered about Danny playing that central role while watching the Forfar debacle.  He was pinging some nice passes long to Matty Kennedy in particular.  With Drey on the other side it would open up play a lot.  It was his shorter passes that were coming unstuck.  Still think Danny could do the job though.

    Or taking a train ride to the top of a Swiss mountain to find that of the 300 or so people at the top you knew about half of them.  Then taking the ski gondola back down and while walking to the bus stop into Lucerne being given a lift by fellow Saintees who spotted you on the road.  Surreal.
