Invernessaint Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I have noticed over the past few weeks an increasing number of WAP posters from across the Highlands. Just wondering whether any of you Highland based Saints want to form a Highland Saints Supporters Club? I would be happy to help start this up. Anyone interested send me a PM. There could be many benefits to this , least of all savings on fuel costs for attending games? We might even get our own flag to rival that of the Edinburgh Saints!!!

Seannachie Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Aye, but maybe am too far away from Inverness to be any use for car sharing etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invernessaint Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Aye, but maybe am too far away from Inverness to be any use for car sharing etc We are currently up to nine potential members - the distance you refer to will not be a barrier as this supporters club will not just be about going to games but keeping a network of Saints fans across the Highlands in touch with each other. Once i have a final idea of the numbers I will formally approach the club as I believe they can help to support and constitute a new supporters club. A good friend of mine runs the Orkney Hibs Supporters Club and he has been great with loads of advice on how to go about doing all of this.

bigstu Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I will formally approach the club as I believe they can help to support and constitute a new supporters club. Not sure what the club could do? The Edinburgh Saints have never approached the club for anything and have arranged everything themselves. Certainly works well when you have a group of people who can car share / get same trains / meet up randomly at other times when we aren't playing.

My mate got a load of support from Hibs when he did this. They publicised the club on their web site and also brought the supporters club to the attention of fans on their data base from Orkney that had bought tickets for Hibs games. They also provided freebies and invited the Orkney supporters club down to a game where they got free hospitality. No harm at all in asking for our clubs support.

Invernessaint Posted November 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Fantastic response so far from Highland based Saints. 14 so far want to become involved in a supporters club and thats just through WAP. Once we get this going and get it 'out there' I am sure we will attract others! Will be in touch with all of you again soon.

GMac Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Once we get organised and everything up and running - a bit publicity in the Inverness Courier - It will send out a message to the lame & not very enthusiasitc ICT support - Get it right up you - We are Perth - Mon the Blues.

inverness-saint Posted November 2, 2012 Report Share Posted November 2, 2012 Nominate a local pub for a meeting place too, get them on board for drinks pre and post match and if there is any televised games we can't get too we can watch it there. Would be good not bring the only saints fan in the pub! Pub may even help out if they know they will be getting a decent amount of business from us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
