Ok guys. Some amazing fans have been working all day setting up our card display. There is a pipe band before kick off. Then when the team emerge we will hold up these cards.... after that we start singing the eses espana cani song and twirl our scarves.... LOTS

Ok guys. Some amazing fans have been working all day setting up our card display.

There is a pipe band before kick off until about 7:35... Then the team lines will be announced.

When the team emerge we will hold up these cards that are on each seat in north, east and Ormond stand.....

After that, supersaint will start twirling his scarf, whilst we start singing the eses espana cani song and twirl our scarves.... LOTS

Then we continue singing our cup winning heroes to victory. Job done

Ok, how about we do a stint just before the players finish warm up. ie at 7:30pm?  then have a rest, then start just before they come out the tunnel?

Yeah I realise Barossa(sp?) & Tulloch have had as long to know, which is yet another reason to praise them.

To be fair it's not necessarily the first poster that's pissed me off so much as the general attitude by many towards the club at the moment. We've achieved a fantastic feet(feat) on the pitch last season, but that doesn't seem to have made us as a fan base happy, the club seems to be able to do no right for doing wrong.

Probably could be noted as well that organisations that are run by volunteers can be slightly more flexible than the club can be. as the committee at Barrossa and Tulloch can(and I've no doubt they will be-well done again) work there arses off for a week/two doing silly hours for their love of the club and desire to pull off a great day. Club is bound by employment law and staffed by a small team already working hard to get the games arranged/ready for the season.

Well done again to all involved with organising the different events.

Exactly Paulo... The Tulloch and Barossa managed to organise something with short notice. 
 
I am really happy that they have organised these events, and they will certainly add to the pre match atmosphere for many fans.  I cannot find anywhere where I have slagged off the club?
 
I just said it is a shame that the club is missing out on more money that it could have earned from a captive audience.  Could go towards a wage to employ a marketing manager for the club?

pipes pre-match and halftime - during the game....NO

Well by that logic the Barossa and the Tulloch will be empty... 2 years ago we organised something at sportsters during the afternoon.  It was heaving all day... And that was without any entertainment.
 
The Tulloch have been promoting this event well, both online and through the press.  Barossa are also heavily promoting their event.  Don't want to get into slagging off the clubs marketing and advertising skills, but they have the biggest captive audience on a day such as this, if only they could work out how to capitalise on it.
 
I certainly didn't hear about the astro event the club held.

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.

Hi all.

Supersaint is planning a similar display as the one we did before kickoff at the cup final.

Will involve scarf twirling and card display (hopefully)

The exact details are still being worked out, but be ready to make as much noise as possible and twirl your scarves.

Will update more details on here, and on the event page on Facebook. SpRead the word. It was great at the final, but imagine the sight/sound with all 4 stands rocking at the same time... Spine tingling.

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...

AMAZING TRIP.. 
 
Some facts..shite ones first.   No punch in the puss for me   but some wank did boot me from behind. I had a word with him and asked him not to do it again. Happily for all concerned,  he didn't.  Dr Jones also got a couple of smacks to the back of the heed as he tried, like myself, wee John and a couple of others to get everyone to calm the fuck down. Unhappily, all the shite was caused because Nathan  Bartlett thought it would be a grand idea to launch a can at  some guy. Not the brightest move Nathan son. The fact there were bairns walking up with their parents made it all the more  stupid and it could well have escalted but we managed  with a bit of persuession to get everyone  to chill oot a bit. Frankly I , and I suspect many others, were embarrassed by Nathans behaviour. It is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. I don't give a fuck who they think they are. They were abroad representing the team and the country. Words will be had..
 
 
Now to the good stuff..  Nah, GREAT stuff.. It was ****ing magic. Lucerne was an amazing place and with upwards of 900 Saintees in town, the place was rocking. Nearly all the locals we came into contact with were friendly and helpful. The bars were  jumping, the weather was tremndous, the lake was heaving ( Saintees in pedalos standing up and singing  in the middle of the lake was  priceless) and  scenery was outstanding. ( The game and result weren't to shabby either)
 
The locals  ( and lot and lots of tourists ) were perhaps  more puzzeled to start with, as a sea of blue and a wave of noise descended on their beautiful town, but as time went by, they were all shaking hands and taking photos of the guys and girls and wishing us well.
 
At the game, our fans got right behind the team and in stifling condition, sang their collective hearts out. It made me very very proud..
 
I want to end  by saying it was a pleasure to have the company of such a large and great bunch of fellow fans for a couple of days.  WE FUCKING ROCKED LUCERNE....
 
 
MTS.

4am pint looks to be in order at Edinburgh airport see you all over there!
