Templar Saint Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 St Johnstone Fans Forum TILE ON THE WALL As part of our quest to get agreement with the club for an area at the stadium to accommodate Fans Tile on the Wall we are carrying out a survey to gauge demand. The tile will be 300mm x 100mm with 3 lines of text next to the club crest. Tile example: Betty in the club shop has kindly agreed to display the actual tile and also has forms for completion by those interested who do not have access to the internet. The current estimated cost per tile is £75 inclusive of VAT however it could be subject to change. The siting area we are looking at is the stadium wall that runs from the Muirton Suite around to the gated entry just before the Ormond Stand. To register your interest please email your name; telephone contact number; email address and quantity of tiles you would be interested in purchasing to: sjfcfansforum@gmail.com pezza70 and lindz105 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueheaven Posted December 23, 2023 Report Share Posted December 23, 2023 Perhaps this is a stupid question but who is "our" and "we" referring to here? Very confusing wording on the official site as it talks about convincing the club to do something, but it seems to be the club itself that has written it. If the club wants to do it, why don't they just do it? Strawman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Fair chance of them getting vandalised or graffiti if they intend sticking them on the wall outside the Muirton suite. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MySpazz Posted December 27, 2023 Report Share Posted December 27, 2023 (edited) This is an awful idea; it is a stayed idea, completely out of date, will become another maudling (RIP thing), and is also very expensive for the average fan (£75+Vat). If this is the best idea the fan forum can come up with, they should disband now. Please keep this RIP plaque stuff to the crematorium Can hear folk in a few years "my plaque is dirty, why have the club not maintained the plaque, my dad was a fan for 123 years and never missed a game, even Berwick away in 1986 on that tuesday night" etc. etc..... worse than the way they go on about "their" seat... So please come up with ideas that are new and not something that was knocking about 20 years ago, and that make the stadium look like the Cretatorium garden of Remembrance. Maybe get a SJFC museaum going, something all fans can enjoy (we've finally got a full time shop....so people are coming to the ground day to day, build on that somehow.) So that's a no from me 😆 Edited December 27, 2023 by MySpazz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Berwick game that went to extra time was 1990 I'm sure. I was also there sitting in the stand. It was lashing down and we were getting soaked as there was no roof because it had been blown off a few weeks earlier. 3-1 up if I recall and they got two back out of nowhere and we had to endure another thirty minutes. So, because of this and many other occasions like it, I claim my tile. 👍 MySpazz and garydavidson 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's a no from me 😆 Think this is a bit OTT. Just because it's an old idea doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile one. If lots of people like it and it's a success, then to me that makes it a good idea. But I agree that £75 is expensive, which is why I'm not up for it personally. It would be interesting to know what other clubs have charged for similar ideas over the years. Is it £75 because that's basically what it costs to do it, or is the club viewing this as a fundraising opportunity? If, for example, some of the money was going towards the Saints trust or youth development, it would be good to publicise that. If it goes ahead my only request would be that someone actually proofreads the text for the tiles before they're made. Maybe it's just me, but I can't bear the thought of something permanent like this being littered with typos and mistakes. P.S. I love the idea of a Saints museum at the ground. I've seen a lot of these at various stadiums abroad and they're always brilliant to look around. MySpazz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a fake brick wall within the home end concourse. They look pretty decent. The club used it as a fundraising opportunity to fund stadium infrastructure upgrades. blueheaven and pezza70 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pezza70 Posted December 28, 2023 Report Share Posted December 28, 2023 If it’s a fundraising idea then I think it’s on the more expensive end of things, maybe it can be included as a freebie one off for everyone who renews their season ticket for next season or an extra £20 quid optional purchase for any new season ticket being purchased. Id personally would love to buy a tike as such but when I work out the exchange rate it’s a very expensive exercise for me, but I guess if it’s a donation to the club I would give it plenty of consideration though.

saintgscot Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 I spoke about this years ago to Kirsten Robertson. Many fans slag her off. But a colleague from Perth prison died at start of covid and he was a big hearts fan. I found out from this that hearts have a garden or remembrance. It could be put in one of the areas away from the ground no issue. But Kirsten got back to me saying there was plans for something like the Celtic way just not as big and saints related. I hope this wasn’t the plan. I think the price for a tile isn’t bad if it staying there for good. Expensive for one season but for good it’s not that bad. I know the cost of these as my wife makes them from home and manufacture cost not that much. But it’s decent if they keep it there for good. I have included a video to the hearts one that I thought was a good idea. pezza70 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawman Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Saw this on social media, looks really good. If you put the Saints badge on every tile it’s going to look very repetitive. Dont know how Queen of the South do this but it looks interesting. I have a question as well about registering interest, I would absolutely do this for a loved one I missed but thankfully, although my dad will be 90 next year , there isn’t anyone I d buy for right now and hopefully it will be a few years yet. Its something I would do but seems silly to register an interest when it could be years hopefully before I’d buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
