Can't find where I read it now, but I understand the "ghost sign" in this photo comes from an old shop that used to be there, and was never part of the football ground.

Says St Johnstone on the sign

I think you are allowed to graze your cattle on the north inch.

The north and south inch were gifted to the people of Perth on the condition anyone from Perth could graze there cattle or sheep on either of them. So no need for freedom of Perth to do that.

Ask Geoffrey the council don’t give a hoot about the club unless it suits them.

another thing there’s nothing at Asda either of our previous home Or our first at Edinburgh road.

 

 

As for Asda this part of Muirton park is still standing as well.

That’s is still down by south inch where the first ground was. I think it should be removed and preserved.

Why is everyone wanting to move the ground. If we make £750 grand from old firm having three stands and we still make more from funerals. Why move the ground away from where we are making most of our money?

There are several now in the city between large commercial ones and small studios, but there is talk of Live Active shutting facilities. A top level facility would benefit the club, could be used by other local clubs/teams and there would be a draw for Saints fans to take out memberships. Even if it helped cover the costs of running it, then the players would benefit.

There seems to be a growing trend nation wide in the fitness industry. 

Don’t you worry I believe it may well come out soon officially but I’m hearing murmuring that the bowls in Dewars will be a new gym to replace the one at bells.

You turn up and tell them the seat is booked if they don’t move u get a steward.

They won't be sitting on their own as they're bringing someone else along with them, who our group also sorted out with a free ticket. Thanks for the concern though. 😄

On a serious note, simply moving around the stand and sitting anywhere isn't easy these days as the club decided to take the reserved stickers off the seats so it's impossible to know if seats are taken or not. Was any explanation ever provided as to why the stickers were removed?

Aye Bev hated putting them on and even more of a pain removing them.

I've somehow managed to find someone who wants a ticket, but of course the big issue is that your bring-a-friend can't sit with you if you don't have an unreserved seat next to you. So if you only have one season ticket to use, you're basically asking someone to come along and sit on their own. Not sure it will work in the way it's been done, but hope it bumps up the crowd at least a little.

I still think the club would have been better off using this type of initiative for a more appealing fixture with a better atmosphere (e.g. at home to Dundee or Hearts). I think that way people would have been more likely to have a memorable/enjoyable experience at the game and want to come back.

Are you expecting a full sell out for this game and that’s why u can’t move from your seat to sit with your poor mate. One u putting the through Levins tactics and two letting them sit on there own wow.

Does anyone know if tickets still available for this game?

I didn't realise we had groundsmen.

You won’t need than at new stadium. When the elastic band snaps on roof it won’t open  so sun won’t get to grass and it will die. Then you won’t have a pitch and have to use tanadump.

Nothing to do with this topic to a degree. But I asked my mate last night and he couldn’t answer. But an I right in saying every sending off we have had through VAR at McDiarmid this season been overturned?

He was also part of the IDF at some point so will be popular with Celtic fans 

Starting his new career as well.

Good luck to him . Had some great games for us. Thanks Callum.

Seems like quite a drop but Spartans are an up and coming team so might be in championship in a few years.

he had more than football to think of so lower league maybe what he needed.

I got one when I was 60, hardly use the thing. I actually walked to McDiarmid from Methven Street once, must have taken me about half an hour. Another ground dumped in the middle of nowhere, Muirton was far better.

But we make money from the location so not that daft.

Saw this on social media, looks really good.

If you put the Saints badge on every tile it’s going to look very repetitive.

Dont know how Queen of the South do this but it looks interesting.

I have a question as well about registering interest, I would absolutely do this for a loved one I missed but thankfully, although my dad will be 90 next year , there isn’t anyone I d buy for right now and hopefully it will be a few years yet.

Its something I would do but seems silly to register an interest when it could be years hopefully before I’d buy.

It’s actually really easy to do if you have the equipment. I have it and just takes special ink and paper then a heat press.

Grady McGrath will be an interesting one if it happens.

I presume this would be Levein's project player.

Moving up such a large distance in quality hasn't always worked out for our players.

Remember the free scoring George Hunter?

St Johnstone: Club secure young striker George Hunter - BBC Sport

Playing for Musselburgh now apparently.

Unrelated, but what happened to our highly rated youngster from Shetland?

It was a big story at the time, but I can't seem to remember anything being mentioned about him since.

Well if u think his name is highly rated youngster from Shetland no wonder u haven't heard of him. BTW what gas happened to him?

I spoke about this years ago to Kirsten Robertson. Many fans slag her off. But a colleague from Perth prison died at start of covid and he was a big hearts fan. I found out from this that hearts have a garden or remembrance. It could be put in one of the areas away from the ground no issue. But Kirsten got back to me saying there was plans for something like the Celtic way just not as big and saints related. I hope this wasn’t the plan. I think the price for a tile isn’t bad if it staying there for good. Expensive for one season but for good it’s not that bad. I know the cost of these as my wife makes them from home and manufacture cost not that much. But it’s decent if they keep it there for good. I have included a video to the hearts one that I thought was a good idea.

Is it just me or does anyone else get annoyed that’s the stewards at McDiarmid don’t bother about flags over sponsor boards. Everytine we have been in Europe they get us to remove flags of sponsors signs. I thought it was more old firm they didn’t bother but noticed Kilmarnock and Motherwell they didn’t bother. If I was a sponsor paying for a board and its covers by flags of opposition I would not be happy at all. These sponsors support the club so deserve to have board showing. Are saints fans soft touches when they want us to recover flags we do so.

Away tickets sold out! The message from the Official Site is they are waiting on further allocation of tickets.

Is there any realistic chance that more will become available?

Celtic didn’t and their fans complained the felt unsafe in such a small number. Wish we could do that to them as well.

With the cost cutting in all areas of the economy, my gut feeling is that there must be some good players out there

Out of that lot only two I would say worth looking at and one is out of our price range. Out of price range is Lindguard other maybe worth looking at is Connor wickham. 

Admin I know it’s saints chat but us relevant. Guys see below us a link to a go fund me page for Rachel Borthwick aka Graham Carey’s wife who has an aggressive from of breast cancer.

Their owner is from Brechin.

He took Levein/Kirk there, rather than him following them. He wont be our new owner IMO. 

Also.

The chairman is from Brechin not the owner.
