bigstu Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Both Barossa and the Tulloch are going to great lengths to put on entertainment and special events for the fans prior to the game on Thursday, yet there has been nothing announced or organised by the club. It is great that there are 2 great options for people to go to, and I have no doubt that both will be busy, and earn a lot of money on the day. It is just a shame to me that the club haven't done something special for this. As I would much rather the club made the money rather than someone else. Perhaps there is a very good reason for this? Perhaps not, just irritates me as there is so much space at Mcdiarmid to put on a family day, and add some beer tents etc, where there would be no public nuisance. wee john and MySpazz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincolnshire no More Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I suspect that all the space that they have would have to be cleared by a certain time, and that would probably be before the turnstiles open. It could really only happen in an area that was wasn't needed for car parking. mainstand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mainstand Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 also the ban on alcohol in sports grounds, probbaly some regulation that means it cant be sold unless in a bar area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhq Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) Is there a wee competition going on about who can have a go at the club for the most things at the moment? Every 2nd thread on here seems to be steeped in negativity - "nae new players" "everybody that works for the club isnae happy with the Chairman" "There'll be a big crowd on Thursday - naw there winnae" "The club should have had an event organised for pre-game" - honestly it's depressing reading the forum just now.

bigstu Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) I didn't only mention alcohol...... Look at the family area at the cup final... No alcohol served at all, but it made for a great day, and I am sure quite a bit of money was spent. I am not in any way criticising the club, and if you know me, you will know I am not. I was simply stating it is a shame having a lost opportunity. As I said, there may well be a reason why this wasn't viable. Nothing ever changes by staying the same...

Broon Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Who volunteers to make the garlic bread? Slices? Or baguette style? Slice. Quite superb. I doubt we have the talent in our ranks to make such a delicacy. I would volunteer to make it but I think I'd be sacked for failing to market it properly.

Strawman Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Some fantastic ideas and yes at the Cup Final we enjoyed the fanzone and build up to the game, it was a saturday however and we were at the ground approx 2 hours before kick off. While I think something on the astro along the lines suggested would be great, not sure thursday would be the best time to do it. For myself anyway it wouldnt be of much interest as I ll not be back in Perth from work til after six and imagine many others will be the same. How many people are actually employed Full Time by St Johnstone to do these things as well, a lot of people who help out on match days will be volunteers/part time and probably working a normal day on thursday before heading to the game. Was there not an open day with a bar/food and live music held on the astro not that long ago which although held on a nice sunny day had hardly anyone at, I remember being at it one sunday afternoon and it being fairly empty. I suspect they probably lost money that day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
