mainstand Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Incredible how little football we have between now and mid April. One Saturday fixture on March 9 then no game until April 1. And going by the way it normally works probably some strange kick off times for the last 5 games of the season. How can we get fans back into football when we are getting people interested and them leving such gaps between matches. Wednesday, 27 February 2013 - Dundee v Saints. Tuesday, 05 March 2013 - Hearts v Saints. Saturday, 09 March 2013 - Saints v Kilmarnock. Monday, 01 April 2013 - Saints v Dundee United. Friday, 05 April 2013 - Inverness Caledonian Thistle v Saints. Next match April 20th Edited February 24, 2013 by mainstand Wendy Saints, engarmeda and Biakeronroomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The ghost of Jim Morton Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) It is utterly stupid, but given what we know about those who run our game is disappointingly unsurprising.

cristo Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 How the hell has this happened? The season starts too early, finishes too late, and has a winter break. Why the big spaces in between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the big spaces in between? Being papped oot of the cup and Hearts reaching LC final have caused a two of the free Saturdays to be fair..

Wendy Saints Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Everything is about habit..... Back in the old Muirton days you were more or less guaranteed a game every week. One week you would have the First team play & the following week you had the reserve league. Mostly played on a Sat @ 3.00pm. Trouble is now with all the free Saturdays folk find other stuff to do and once away find it hard to get back in the habit again. I know loads of folk that this has happened to. The worrying thing is they say they don't even miss it. This is a universal problem not unique to Saints but a worry all the same.......

Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I think we St.Johnstone FC should organise a glamour friendly in Miami, Florida, against Juventus to repay our loyal support from that particular part of the world - 43,000. Marketing campaign slogan "Both Teams Thrashed The Celtic On Their Own Patch - See Them Both In The Sunshine State2. ST. JOHNSTONE v. JUVENTUS 14:00 24TH MARCH 2013, SUN LIFE STADIUM, MIAMI. When they get back and we draw a game Steve Lomas can say the players are tired and we're playing too many games. blueheaven, myDarlingBeefeater, Wendy Saints and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
