Do you think St Mirren are now finished? (NHC)

[where'stheslope]

Looking at the Championship table St Mirren are now 7 points adrift at the bottom of the league, will they go into free fall after this season if they don't arrest their form?
As the season is already over half way through it does not look good for them.
Having moved into a new stadium and looked like they were on the up, but if I remember correctly, did Rangers not try to buy them as a way back into the Scottish League after Liquidation?
It just seems a long time ago when my dad worked in Paisley and I would go along to Wednesday night games when I was through visiting, and they had not a bad support back then around 1965.
Their fans seem to have deserted them in droves, and if they fall another division it could be one downward step to far!

May take a while but they will be back one day. Dunfermline are another club who have had a hard time but they are gradually getting back to where they should be.

No. Not even remotely close. They'll go through a bad season or two or three but they'll surface again - and if much smaller clubs like Ross Co, ICT, etc can exist in the SPL, then there's no reason why they can't be back up there at some point in the future.

At least they did it the correct way to clear their debt by moving instead of the huns and yams method of stiffing everyone so fair play to them. They also had a hand in the yams great league adventure of 86 so are alright by me. 😁

[Glory Lurker]

It must be hard enough for them to get youngsters to support them, being so close to Glasgow. I hope they arrest the slide, or that task will become even more difficult. Good luck to them.

And replacing him with Tommy Craig. That was the beginning of the end for them. They will see a decent wedge of cash when sjm gets sold and that could be what brings them back up again.

It will be a very very long time before they return to the top league if they ever do. Their best chance is league reconstruction. I really fear for the few fans they have left.

I still don't understand the thought process of them sacking Lennon and hiring Tommy Craig. His managerial failings aside, why sack the manager and then decide his assistant is the man to take the club forward?

[Hibernia&Alba]

I hope they'll be okay. It's so difficult for clubs in that area to get support, due to the Old Firm, so I always like to see teams like St Mirren, Partick, Clyde etc get a wee break. I draw the line at Airdrie, however :greengrin

[stantonhibby]

Yep....Did they not go for Ian Murray at that point who turned them down (I know he did eventually end up there) ? No plan B so gave the job to Tommy Craig.

[blackpoolhibs]

They must have money problems, my mate Bolton was talking to their last manager who's name escapes me. And he told him if he could make a marquee signing he'd pay him the princely sum of £600 a week.

The ones who are not so good get much less.

If you want to advertise that your club is totally ****ed, and you've completely run out of ideas as how to save it- just pick up the phone for Tommy Craig. You don't even have to waste time preparing a press release. They'll get it.

Lennon fullfilled his brief Keep them in the Top Division and blood youngsters as they have a decent youth set up in the Community
But they won the League Cup and got greedy and have got into the spiral we did hiring and firing managers but never picking the right man for the job
Unless they pull a couple of Rabbits put the January Transfer hat i isnt looking good for them at present and the 3 0 defeat to Queen of the South at home when Q of T S hadnt won for a while was a shoker

I'll always have a soft spot for the way they bent over in 1986 and pumping the Jambo's in the league cup.

Yup their "up some where with out a paddle!"

Letting go of Lennon was a huge mistake. That was about as good as life could probably be as a St Mirren fan. Highlight being a 3-2 League Cup win v's...........:brokenyam:.........:faf:

Even before that Gus MacPherson did a decent job for them taking them over at a low point and getting them promoted to the Premiership after only a couple of season. His win % was even higher than Lennon's
Ok they weren't the most pleasing team to watch but they could hold their own.

Certainly not the model club for fan ownership.

It had a main stand and terracing all round the rest. Opposite the main stand there was a covered area that ran along around 2/3rds of the pitch.

[Dashing Bob S]

St Mirren are a very strange club. They are either nowhere, not even on the map, or they are a significant force. It's either one or the other. Despite suffering from the uglies being on their doorstep, the town seems to get behind them when they are doing well. They had the Alex Ferguson side of Fitzpatrick and McGarvey, and produced players like McIvanney and now McGinn, and they won both the Scottish Cup and League Cup, which is pretty decent going for a club outwith the OF/big five in Scotland.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i remember being at love st for the debut of our latest signing in 1979.... thee George Best :agree: over 13,500 at love street with most being hibs fans(still got beat 2-1) hibs had asked the buddies to rearrange the fixture to ER instead but the buddies said em NAW, then his ER debut v Partick thistle(won 2-1) with a crowd of 20,+++ more than double our average attendance at that time

I think it was the only part of the Stadium that made money for years!
That was only rent from the Gym owners.
When I went to Love Street in the '60's it was well packed out with fans at most games, then came the Ferguson years, then ever since appear to have been on a downward spiral.

:agree: One of my favourite away days, got good friends who support St Mirren, their local team, used to go to the Wee Barrel before games as they laid on a free bus to the new stadium which is functional, paid for the right way but a bit soulless.

They'll survive alright but my friends thought getting rid of Lennon was a mistake at the time and it looks like it was.

I think they'll survive OK, but there are hard times ahead for them, which I'm sorry for.

One of my fondest memories of the Buddies was a Cup-tie at ER in Mowbray's time. We went 2-0 up and the Shed started singing how the Saints were out the Cup ...

... short silence, then the South Stand all started singing, "When the Saints went up to lift the Scottish Cup, WE WERE THERE!"

A great response, and everyone in the stadium (with a sense of humour, that is) burst out laughing.

And when we signed John McGinn, when a lot of others were sniffing around making "informal" (i.e. unethical) approaches for the player, Saints made a point of publicly thanking Hibs for their upfront approach.

I really wish the Buddies no ill at all, though I'm not sure about the bunch who control the club right now ...

[R'Albin]

They'll be hoping we sell McGinn for big bucks in the next few years. A third of that transfer fee could end up being quite a big difference maker for them.

[Andy74]

I'm still taking that figure with a big pinch of salt. The circumstances in signing him don't really add up to needing to go that far but time will tell I guess.

The likes of Motherwell, Morton, Partick, Falkirk, St Mirren were all pretty similar - and they all had roofs on their main terracing long before Hibs.

Thene there were (still are in some cases) the grounds with wonky main stands - Tannadice, Starks Park andn the winner by a long way, Airdrie.

Yup. It's grounds like that (and ER in the old days which wasn't any better) that make me go all misty-eyed for the old days.

Wouldnae even have bothered to cook them .... (Sigh) :devil:

They deserve credit at least for building a pretty decent stadium, rather than the embarrassing three, two and one sided efforts. Clubs that have been out performing them as well.

http://www.stadiumguide.com/wp-content/gallery/lovestreet/lovestreet3.jpg

Likewise.

It was a fairly big ground, and like you say, enjoying a covered terracing was a real luxury for us before we covered ours. There really was no need to impose the all seated criteria at the time, and a lot of those now lost grounds would still be acceptable today with some improvement to toilets and catering facilities.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Its a shame to see St Mirren where they are .... the now departed Jim Goodwin apart I have nothing against them.
Their defeat of the Yams in the League cup final remains one of my favourite TV games ever ... even nicer to know that SJM played a small part in it :greengrin

I have a soft spot for fans any of the clubs within the sphere of influence of the ugly sisters, anybody who can resist the temptation to go glory hunting and support St Mirren, Morton, Partick etc deserves respect IMO. But St Mirren have been the architects of their own destruction in many ways:

Moving from Love Street was probably a good move ..... their decision to replace it with the most unimaginative boring looking stadium in Scotland wasn't. I don't know how much it cost to build, but surely they could have built something better looking for the same money and certainly without the huge gaps between the stands.

Punting Danny Lennon without giving him enough time to turn round the teams results was a bad move .... replacing him with Tommy Craig was dumb beyond belief, we all said so at the time and we were all correct.

Can St Mirren turn it around? Yes they can, but they could well face a Dunfermline style long road before they do ..... I read somewhere that back in the day Alex Ferguson hired a van with a megaphone and drove round Paisley trying to drum up support from the locals, perhaps its time to try that.

Always a good atmosphere in the ground, but like most other grounds needed to much work done and being near the centre of Paisley it was sellable!
With the new stadium nearer to the airport, its like the fans have to travel a bit further, so not bothering to go!
