SaintDougie Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 Have lived in Stranraer and Dumfries amongst others - there was certainly a few Saints fans in Dumfries, I know of a couple that go to most games. Now work in Dunblane and there's quite a few there. Have often wondered if it would be worth running a bus from Kinross, taking in Milnathort, Glenfarg and Bridge of Earn. Due to location Kinross tends to be split down the middle having both Saints fans and Dunfermline fans, not counting the Celtic and erm... Sevco fans. Although the running of a bus starting in Kinross and picking up in other towns en rout to Perth is a good idea and I reckon there are enough people that could fill it regularly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike_gain Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 I grew up in Alyth in the mid 80s and only knew of 2 other Saints fans my age but they were from Blair. Everyone else in Alyth seemed to be an Arab or a fan of the team that used to play at Ibrox. I don't think things have changed much in the Alyth/Blair area for the 5-15 age group apart from the fact that it's no longer successful Scottish teams drawing the interest but Spanish and English teams......but that is a whole other discussion.

I grew up in Alyth in the 60's and it was the same then. I think pretty much me and one other guy. Loads of Scumdee fans then, I remember getting a hard time at school the day after we got beat 3-1 in the League Cup semi at Tannadice.

burnsandi Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 there are two of us over in Port Ellen, Isle of Islay. Everyone else on the island would appear to be lifelong sevco fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich77 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 The club is winning new fans too, a long way from Perth or even from Scotland. I was getting a bit disillusioned with football (particularly the premiership) until I started getting into St Johnstone. Following your trip to Eskishehir reminded me of why I like football. Hope I can make it up to McDiarmid some day. Good luck with the new season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I can make it up to McDiarmid some day. Good luck with the new season! Welcome. How did you come to following Saints from all the way over in Belgium, if you don't mind me asking? Are you originally from Perth or the surrounding areas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich77 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Thanks. I'm an ex-pat living in Belgium at the moment. I don't have any family connections to Perth, I'm from way down south originally. Just drifted into following Saints - the first thing that brought me into contact with the club was the fact that Jody Morris had his footballing redemption with you. Then I just kept seeing more reasons for liking the club - liked the atmosphere on the forum here, liked the fact that it's an honest club and sensibly run, none of the rubbish associated with the 'big' clubs these days, liked the stadium. And as I said, the whole Saints-Eses story was exactly why I like football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't be too pricey to get the ferry over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich77 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 It'd be great to get to McDiarmid. Probably easiest way is to fly to edinburgh and then get the train i reckon.
