Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 I really hope you see a good crowd. Not only to give Cuptie a nice wodge of cash, but also as a payoff for the obvious hard work that's gone into the planning. Can't have been easy to get all of the old faces together, well done to all concerned. 50yrs a Saint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50yrs a Saint Posted October 3, 2017 Report Share Posted October 3, 2017 Excerpt from Tommy Wright's message today :- The word ‘legend’ is used a bit too freely these days but it is a fitting word to describe what Dave Mackay is to this football club and I am delighted that we have been able to fit in a testimonial match for him on Friday. It promises to be a great night with the first hour or so being a really useful exercise for both first teams and then a range of guest players taking part to make it a memorable occasion and I hope as many Saints fans as possible can come along and give Dave the support he deserves.

Yes there were hospitality packages, as highlighted earlier in the post, although they are now sold out. Don't let that stop you going to the game though.

50yrs a Saint Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 HONOURING A CLUB LEGEND Testimonial committee chairman Scott Findlay is urging Saints fans to turn out in force to honour their Scottish Cup winning captain in tonight’s match with Dundee. Scott said: “This is the supporters’ chance to say a proper farewell to Dave, whose playing career was cut short after hip surgery last year. It promises to be a special night for fans and for a true club legend. “In his years with Saints, even before Dave lifted the Scottish Cup three years ago, he was a player fans knew gave them 100% every time he pulled on the jersey and he has to be among the club’s most consistent performers of all-time. “From the committee’s very first meeting we wanted to turn the dream of a team of Dave Mackays into reality for one night. That is why we have commissioned a special shirt from Total Teamwear Scotland featuring the logos of match sponsors Booker Perth and Kilmac. “All the Saints players will pull on shirts with Mackay number 2 on their backs in tribute to Dave. “His career began at Dundee FC and we are grateful for their support. With many of their own legends, along with Stoke City midfielder Charlie Adam, agreeing to make an appearance, we are looking forward to Dark Blues fans joining us at McDiarmid.” While the first hour or so will feature the regular St Johnstone and Dundee first team squads, the closing stages will see legends from both clubs turning back the clock. Names signed up include Roddy Grant, Danny Griffin, John O’Neil, Darren Dods, Martin Hardie, Paul Sheerin, Nathan Lowndes, Jody Morris and cup winner Frazer Wright, along with Rab Douglas, Barry Smith, Steven Milne, Charlie Adam, Peter MacDonald, Gary Harkins and Dens management duo Neil McCann and Graham Gartland. The game kicks-off at 7.30pm and admission at the gate has been pegged at £15 and £5 for U16s and seniors. Season tickets are not valid. The East and West stands will be open, with Dundee fans accommodated in the north of the main stand (turnstiles 6 and 7). *Supporters should note the Muirton Suite is hosting a pre-booked function but the Centenary Suite is open pre-match only from 5pm, with an opportunity to mingle with legends. The star prize in the raffle is a limited edition signed Dave Mackay testimonial shirt. The pre-match and half-time entertainment will be provided by the Pipes and Drums of Glenalmond College.

50yrs a Saint Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 For those going to the game remember the Centenary Lounge is open from 5pm , as a supporter's bar. Be patient tho as the bar serving area is much smaller than the Muirton Suite. While waiting to be served you can buy a strip of raffle tickets, with some great prizes , so dig deep!

blueheaven Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 At the conclusion of the game Dave Mackay will say a few words of thanks to those attending, so don't rush away. Maybe the club could be asked to share this point on their social media so that as many people know about it as possible? Would be a shame if people are rushing back through the car park when Dave takes to the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broon Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) Looking forward to the good players coming on to replace the imposters on the pitch. Yeah its a friendly but a wee bit of effort for the occasion wouldn't go a miss. Bring on the main event now.

RandomGuy Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Second half was superb entertainment, Morris and Sheerin put a lot of current players to shame, unreal quality. Playing against folk half their age and they spend their time in acres of space, that's true class.

Templar Saint Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Agree with Random Morris and Sheerin were class - any chance of them both being available next Friday? At one point Griffin hit a pass to Sheerin who deftly took it on the wand of a left foot playing keepy up with it and Dundee young number 17 had not a clue what to do to try and get the ball from him. Just before Jody went off there was slick interpassing between him and Sheerin. Thought Tommy got the tactics wrong again..................playing a team of right backs.......worse than a Craig Levein formation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havana Saint Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Jody very diplomatic on Saints TV regarding turnout. A total legend and an embarrassing paltry crowd for a hero, so sad. David123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
