Emma Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 We will be there. Half of Mathers will be in attendance. So far we have managed to pressgang a Peterborough United fan and a Polish barmaid to sit in our end (the singing and dancing end). Brilliant! let me know the plans for the day as I want to go but dont want to go it alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Edinburgh Saintees , it looks like the 11.08 from Perth is the best bet for the Perth train . That meets up at Inverkeithing with the 12.18 from Waverley or 12.22 from Haymarket assuming Mathers gets a wee visit before the train. That would get the Edinburgh saintees on the same train as the saintees travelling from Perth all leaving Inverkeithing at 12.41 , that's bound to fill a boozer or two prior to kick off , and a jolly good sing song was had by all.

robosaintee Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Only used to post on P&B because WAP was blocked at my work. Now that I am a student I will have plenty of time to post! This is picking up momentum. I am coming down for it and I might even be able to get a few folk from up here (Aberdeen) to come down aswell, happy days.

angus-saint253 Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 I'd be suprised if we took anymore then 1500. i would be delighted with 1500 tbh , on a maybe relevant note, wats the capacity of the away stand at the pars? not really sure if we'll fill it, more out of interest ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Beatson Posted October 8, 2008 Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Capacity of away stands is probably approaching 3,000. Similar to Dens Park away stands. There is no reason at all why we shouldn't take similar crowds to Dunfermline as we do to Dens - it is just as easy to get to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Away day update please. The PA have offered to print an up date on Friday if we have anything newsworthy to report. We now know that Kinnears in Scone are running a bus ,size to be determined but pleased to report numbers are growing. Jeanfield 208 have ordered 1,000 baloons and 400 rocket baloons. Some supporters are travelling by train and the Edinburgh saintees are going by train , not bus. I need to get the update into the PA first thing tomorrow morning . I get the feeling the momentum, is gathering . Does anyone have any news on how things are moving ahead that we could add into this weeks PA coverage? All contributions greatfully received.

Ginger Bakers rebel army Posted October 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2008 Good news from DAFC ,they have reviewed the pricing structure for away fans which will come into affect from the 1/11 game .The following is an extract from the email just in from DAFC. Good on them I say , it is not everything we wanted but but it s a fiver a head saving for all under 12's and I am sure we will have quite a few under 12's on the day!!! " We are hoping we will have a great game on the 1st Nov and it is great what you are doing to drum up a good travelling support as this always lifts the atmoshpere at any game. Our Kids for a Quid games are selected at the start of the Season and we only select three per year and with us running the Kids for a Quid game at the Partick Game which is directly before the St Johnstone game we unfortunatley cant extend this to the St Johnstone game. We have however reviewed our away end pricing and with effect from the St Johnstone game we are introducing new away end pricing of £16, £10 and £5 for Under 12's this will replace our old pricing structure of £16 and £10 - so any under 12 fans you bring to the game will now get in for £5 as opposed to £10. We will be getting our websites etc updated about this hopefully this afternoon Many Thanks for your query Kind Regards " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
