Pat McGroin Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I could ask £10k for it. It doesn't mean anyone is going to buy it. That's been there for years, I can't see it changing hands for anything close to 4 figures, never mind that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloPerth Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I couldn't pay £500 or anything like that but would pay for a pre-ordered book, even if it was months away from publishing, and would imagine quite a few saints fans would do the same. If 1000 folk paid £15 or whatever up front then it's a goer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If 1000 folk paid £15 or whatever up front then it's a goer.... It is quite common now for authors and musicians to get money up front from readers/fans etc to allow them to write & publish/record & issue new material and in exchange their backers receive early signed copies.

garydavidson Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 I would certainly be up for pre-ordering. Will be well worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethamsaintee Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Pre-Order no worries but five hunner quid? Naaaaaaaa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Wallace Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 why don't they do a proper crowdfunding scheme, where we can all pledge the amount the book will cost? I'm sure they'd get more than enough folk signing up. california_saintee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rik2304 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Doesn't the new "Final Hurdle" book cover these intervening years quite well? Not sure I would be interested in another version. Depends how in depth it goes I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they'd get more than enough folk signing up. Right. 10x the number of folk pledging 50 quid each seems must more doable. Maybe Alastair and Brian aren't aware of kickstarter/indiegogo.

garydavidson Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Brain said to me on twitter they are considering pre orders if they can't raise the finance the route they have mapped out just now. Those crowd surfing sites take a decent cut from most projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilSJFC Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Add me to the list of potential pre orders. Would love a copy, espically if it was decent quality, as most of my original lies in tatters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those crowd surfing sites take a decent cut from most projects. Can use a crowd funding model without having to use one of the sites surely. Anyone with the ability to write a list and collect money could do crowd funding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldPoster Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 This is something that Kickstarter would be a good website to use, You can take pre orders and several different levels Just imagine is saints hadnt been fined 18,000E then they also could have helped out on this project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garydavidson Posted September 25, 2014 Report Share Posted September 25, 2014 "Bristling With Possibilities" is the much-loved official history of St. Johnstone Football Club between the years 1885-1997. Authors Alastair Blair and Brian Doyle are in the process of updating the long since sold out original version which will encompass the 17 years since the book was published- with a particular focus on the historic Scottish Cup Final win back on May 17th. Alastair said: "The intention is to have it ready for Christmas so all the fans who experienced that fantastic day in May can relive it and also discover the fascinating history of the best club in the world." We would encourage any fans interested in buying the updated version of this book to let club historian Brian Doyle know by emailing him here: doylebrian77@icloud.com There is no obligation to buy the book when emailing Brian as it is merely to gauge potential demand once it is published."
