Cagey Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Cheers. Hopefully on the radio at the least No chance. All the BBC staff will be at Wimbledon but even without that they are not going to go to back of beyond for diddy team that non of them support.

PerthSeany Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Spence is reporting on Aberdeen so doesn't leave anyone else for Saints! Is there any way it could be on Armenian tv? Not sure what kind of broadcast network they are going to have though... Possibly mostly tv from their bigger neighbours.

Kevin James Is On Stilts Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 What about that channel that showed one of our away matches last year? A sports one on Sky, Premier maybe? If they don't pick it up then nobody else will, but I'm not holding my breath for any kind of TV coverage. We'll be lucky to get updates from sportsound if anything. We're just not big time enough for the BBC to put any effort into covering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOODLUM65 Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 You're underling Franco's point. That was over a year ago. He's done precious little since. Now I like MacLean's intelligence and with the right partner he may come good again, but I'd agree that it's odd that he doesn't seem to be held to the same standards as other players whose form dipped in places last year - e.g. Brown, Croft, McFadden, Graham - all of whom were dropped when they weren't playing well (and even sometimes when they were). And I'm not sure that keeping him in the team when he did nothing was great for his own confidence. Sorry, but did not DISAGREE wiith any of his post until he added "for over a year". Till his inaccurate end comment, I agree with what he typed. Hope that clears up any misunderstanding that you may have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 How many st johnstone fans are expected to attend the away match....seem to be a fair few going? There were 120 - 130 at Tranava, 1000 at Luzern....was it 600 in EsEs? Rosenborg??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint GB Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Rosenborg and Tuekey were both 250-300 FromWhat I've heard and read so far there will be around 100 Saint fans in Armenia! I'll count them on match day to confirm MySpazz and Cagey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ghost of Jim Morton Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Surprised nobody has mentioned what's been happening with the club charter and the supposed cut price deals for some fans! It's all very hush hush. All done on a nudge and a wink. It's not what you know, it's who you know. Phone a friend, BOGOF and cut price deals for all ( well obviously not all, as most folk had /have no idea it's going on. Apart from those that were always going and were paying full whack. Most of them seemed a tad reluctant to mention it ( not all though. At least one person had the balls to be honest. Ironically she didn't have real balls but metaphoric ones and well done her) There were also the folk offered " good deals, much cheapness" who again seemed less than happy to discuss it. Meanwhile a group of our fans, who at almost a grand a pop, were priced out of the trip, never even got the chance to get a place at £500.. It's okay though because "the right people" are going. Outstanding. Jiangsu Sainty, Saint GB and Teamworks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unwanted seats went for £1000 In defence of the club the travel and hotel is getting on for 8-900 for the 100 extra to avoid the hassle is good business even at 1000.

Teamworks Posted June 27, 2015 Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 wasn't keen on the clubs charter plans, didn't suit me anyway because I live in the south, they are coming back straight after the game, we have all day Friday in Yerevan, braw !!!

Would've snapped their hands off, if I got offered the trip for £500, a bit off that it was done in an underhand way. croc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
