In recent times, I dont think our season ticket numbers have deviated much from that figure. Unfortunately we have shot ourselves in the foot after any success we have had. The club didn't have the resources or willingness to act after the cup win in 2014. The negativity from the chairman at the time probably didnt help either. After the cup double, it was a similar situation and then we got hit with the sale of McCann and Kerr and went into a tailspin of negativity and awful football. This summer should have been different, but Jim from Impresario had different ideas. Think we would have sold well over 3000 season tickets this summer if they hadn't messed things up. It would be great to have 4000 season ticket holders, but cant see it happening anytime soon. Despite the season ticket fiasco, the club have been trying things such as the fanzone, selling alcohol, new club shop and improving facilities, but I dont suddenly see an upturn in supporters coming along. Mentioned on the St Mirren match thread about the cost of attending games and I think for many the cost is just too much now for what is effectively two hours of "entertainment". Families have many other options open to them which are less expensive and provide a better offering, whilst the increase in streams/firesticks mean that many prefer to watch from the comfort of their own homes and not be treated like a child by some over zealous steward.

Thats probably just because youre not paying attention that much to other clubs. Theres absolutely nothing to suggest Mikulic doesnt have a work permit either. Theyve spoken openly about being as safe as they can be with him and not rushing him. Hes barely played in over a year so wont be shoved straight into Premiership football.

This has all been discussed on the thread already so feels like it's going around in circles a bit, but given that the club has confirmed East Stand season ticket holders will retain the same Geoff Brown Stand seat for Category A games throughout the season, why would any season ticket holder not reserve a Geoff Brown Stand seat? Even if not planning on attending the first few OF games, it surely makes sense to have that seat reserved in case there's an important/unmissable game later in the season?

In the courier that theyve 3 bounce games set up already.

Tbf that is the entire point of them being behind closed doors.

No. Saints play @ Hearts on Saturday, 29 August. The Hearts/Rapid Vienna game on Thursday, 20 August doesn't affect anything.

Tbf,I’ve been under 16 for years there 😄😄💙

We wouldn’t have had these injuries under the Browns.

Access to GPs is better generally up here in Scotland Duncan. https://talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2026/02/26/satisfaction-with-ease-of-access-to-a-gp-is-still-50-higher-in-nhs-scotland-than-in-nhs-england/

Sinclair showed he was capable at this level while on loan at Paisley and is the permanent member of staff. TS needs to step up to this level in the next two games, otherwise Ross should rightly be handed the gloves. The errors in the first two games need to cease immediately.

Transfermkt are wild guesses.

Same source told me German striker is close and working on permit

Braw, as I've got my travel arrangements sorted for Sat. 29th.

🤞🤞 Boyes too cocky, Foulds too negative

Daily Record saying Enes Alic will be announced before our next game, and we also expect a striker signed before then too.

Aye, that. Hearts’ trip to Vienna is the one that matters for us. Both Vienna teams would be at home on Thursday 27th, so Rapid v Hearts has been shifted to Wednesday 26th, therefore the trip to Tynecastle remains Saturday 29th.

Why not .he could be decent! Would like to know how you are a better judge than Simo/ staff He could absolutely be brilliant with emphasis obviously on could But you obviously have knowledge to judge a player who is on trial

That’s Paul Pogba off the phone, he’s interested in joining us for the fee of £2500 a week plus bonuses.

Was too late thinking about it Dave was just wanted a ticket as the app didn't work for lithgae for me so just got in and bought it, mate in Perth could have picked up etc, but just went in and took the ticket without thinking! Paper tickets though scamming hertz f.. LAUGH OUT LOUD

Got Bev to pick my ticket up, and meet her at Tynie, worth a try pal 🤷🏻‍♂️

Bit like the Fanbase app, was easier getting tickets for hearts away before and able to purchase tickets beside friends family etc, it would be far easier if they did like what Scotland do and add friends family on the app and one person can buy and get all seats together, another absolute shit show in the ticket disaster this year, add in the £2.50 postage per person if you are not local to pick up, its an expensive game to attend, yep hertz with their paper tickets and all that but surely the all singing dancing Fanbase app could sort some sort of QR code with hertz, again allowing one ticket per season ticket people will be scattered all over from friends family, its not a great experience for going to the fan experience in downtown Edinburgh! And we are just as bad with the prices we charge hertz at the Perth ballpark, cash is king with with the burgers and beer board!

Was midway through a two year contract at us https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cjeevg893qqo

Are you for real???!!! The Broons had stuff all to do with training or player conditioning. Here's a tip- we employ a manager and coaching staff to seek to develop and get the best performance out of players. Some players are more injury prone.

So by claiming your seat in the MS then not attending prevents the club from re-selling that seat,yes I get that,re-selling that seat to who though? That’s right a fellow Saints supporter who doesn’t hold a season ticket but would very much like to attend that particular game,great idea eh?

Mannus, Duberry, Morris, Craig, Millar, Swanson, Captain Dave, Wright, Macca, Deuchar A selection from that group would be grand.

Him and Lloyd both played for u19s last week but didn't last night. Imagine that's because they'll be playing in the first of the bounce games this week.

I've always thought, that over recent years, most of the long term injuries seem to have happened on the training field or in friendly games than in the actual league matches! Maybe someone can come up with some stats to prove this?

Its no a cost o living crisis but a cost o greed crisis.

Not really he’s experienced but not that good! About 4th choice at hearts who don’t rate him, could do better.

Was against lower league opposition, he did what any competent keeper had too, was hardly outstanding, he's competent but not so sure he's the answer, and the contract was a waste of a wage, need a good experience keeper in to either take over number one position or back up to Toby, Sinclair is not that and neither is bringing back Clark.

The exact same cost of living and financial issues apply to the clubs as well, it's not simply a case that the economy affects people and households, every business is also being screwed at the same time. The clubs aren't out of touch, they're doing what they can to still stay afloat and exist!

I wonder if Toby is missing some leadership from Baird too - with neither Diabate or Mitchell being either vocal or dominant, toby is having to make his own decisions and is learning on the spot. His confidence is obviously low and yesterday felt like a 'keep everything safe and take no risks' performance - didn't work with penalty and the challenge on gogic but was pretty solid throughout and made a great save in the first half. Other than the 5 minutes either side of the goal it felt his distribution was good. In that spell everything he cleared came straight back at us. Hopefully his relationship with Mitchell and Diabate develops further over the break

Time will tell, but it wasn’t the performance of a team that will be relegated.

Whether we like it or not, we’re part of Toby’s development so we’ll get times like these. I think we’re probably lucky to have him so we keep him in goal and let him learn. I think he’ll earn points more than give them away so we accept the decision making stuff at the moment.

It was a good save. My concern with Toby is that given his poor distribution he lets himself be put under pressure - partly thats as a result of Zack/Diabate passing the square ball round the defence until they're closed down. Then its passed back to Toby for a rushed/poor kick forward. We need the defence to transition the ball to the wings/midfield a lot more quickly to take the pressure off the keeper

In one sense I couldn’t care less about season tickets, premium seats, beer, pies, ceo’s, club shops, groundsman, away end, FCU, red seats, dirty seats, blah. If it isn’t happening on the pitch, it isn’t happening. Sunday it happened on the pitch. Happy with that. Everything else is just noise (to me).

Correct

Get in the bin with this pish
