| 1. Author: saltonsgonagetu Date: Thu 22nd Oct 2026. 23:22 St Johnstone now giving up 2 stands to Hearts Aberdeen Dundee Utd Dundee, and 3 stands to Celtic , Rangers , if that is the future in the Premier League , wee teams like them should be banned .  Reply |
| 2. Author: neils Date: Thu 22nd Oct 2026. 23:53 It caused a stooshie with their fans pre season when they announced it. You cant really blame them giving up 2 stands, but 3? What is worse is for the games against the cheeks the season ticket holders are relocated to a different stand and they have to email interest in going to the game! Reply |

| 4. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 06:09 Imagine being moved to a different stand, or deciding not to go to these games, only to return to your seat a week later to find it broken or covered in stickers. If we ever play them and give them, especially the ugly sister, three stands, I`ll be asking for my seat not to be sold. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 5. Author: Jeffery Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 08:31 On the `covered in stickers` point, why are the police/council doing nothing about the `union bears` and `UB07` graffiti everywhere. Covering road signs is surely a danger to drivers. The A92 and the new school campus are both covered. It can`t be that hard to identify them? Reply |
| 6. Author: veteraneastender Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 09:41 Maximising financial gain makes sense in any commercial business - maybe if more local fans attended this scenario could be avoided. I reckon their supporters would rather be in the top tier with these issues than in a lower one. Post Edited (Fri 23 Oct 11:19) Reply |
| 7. Author: Playup_Pompey Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 09:46 Selling an extra stand at 1000 seats £30 a ticket for 6 games is extra £180k in the club budget. Given will play some teams twice home etc and with the split potentially making upto an extra £500k across the season enough to cover wages for 2-3 players or better salary to lure a better player away from a rival etc. Yes be extra police/stewarding costs but also extra revenue from food kiosks/programmes/matchday bar etc.  Reply |
| 8. Author: nick_dafc1 Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 09:48 Playup_Pompey, Fri 23 Oct 09:46 Exactly if more St Johnstone fans actually attended the games they wouldn’t need to give up stands to opposition teams. That extra revenue could be the difference between staying up and relegation. Reply |
| 9. Author: LochgellyAlbert Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 12:11 Was surprised at their support at EEP the night they won promotion, and more noise than they make up in Perth! Glory hunters out in force? Reply |
| 10. Author: veteraneastender Date: Fri 23rd Oct 2026. 13:51 A team on the brink of winning the title (or confirming promotion etc.) will always attract a much bigger support than for a normal fixture. Plenty of "born again" Pars fans at such games - Hampden cup semi and final for example. Reply |
