He was playing against Fir Park Corner last season so it's fair to say something has gone wrong somewhere!

I understand the club/stewards position too- it's the complainants that I don't understand.

The area is never congested. I don't understand some of the pant-wetting over this.

I don't think that actually happens, to be fair....

Just to clarify- I have a season ticket for a seat in the back row of the stand. I chose that seat, despite the terrible view, specifically so I could stand up. As there is far more space behind the barrier, I stand there and lean on said barrier rather than squeeze into my seat. It has never caused any issue with any other supporter and have been doing this for many years. What I don't understand- and maybe the original poster/complainant could clarify- is the rationale for choosing a back row seat if you want to sit down throughout the match. The view is terrible and there will always be people over the top of you, yellow line or not.

Dave, you were one of the original group with us that bought season tickets at the back specifically with the intention to stand. Now you're wanting screens up....?

I don't think anyone disagrees with that, but if you encounter someone doing it don't demand a blanket response against a load of people who haven't done anything wrong. I'm sure Melvin will be happy to confirm that nobody behind him has ever pelted him with food or drink over the years.

Subway is a franchise so I suspect their deal won't be as lucrative as ours, if that's the right word to use. Could well be wrong though.

Largely the same mugs that patronisingly applauded Stjarnan when we were 2-0 up I suspect...

I absolutely stand by my comments. If someone abuses a fellow fan, spits on them or whatever it may be, then they should be papped out. However, to suggest that some drunkard spitting on you should lead to season ticket holders who have stood in the same spot without incident for a number of years being forced behind a yellow line is absolutely ridiculous. And, while it couldn't possibly be enforced as a rule, I'd suggest that in a stand with the layout of the East, anyone in the back couple of rows should observe the etiquette of either standing up or at the very least not complaining when others do. If you're looking to encourage people back to Fir Park, running to the club demanding action against innocent punters to the detriment of their matchday experience is not the way to go about it.

If you don't want someone standing behind you, don't have your seat in the back row of the East Stand. If anyone did complain then they are an utter, utter bawbag.

Thanks for this post- I was struggling to decide where my vote was going....

I know it happens- I just thought you were implying I was guilty of it, which of course I am not. I think you're being a bit silly now so we'll call it a day at this point.

Who does that like? I'd strongly rather neither of these things happened.

It would have cost us a clean sheet.

This is true.

I know I've moaned about this before but the applauding of the opposition and wanting them to score because they're cute and cuddly continues to absolutely do my nut in.

Reid > Chalmers for me.

Bit of a false figure I'd suggest given that Hearts will have brought a load more fans than St Mirren.

I assume the Cove players are in the Central belt already. Are they likely to bring many fans?

Is Grimshaw away then?

So you've told us what the reason isn't - do you mind if I enquire as to the obvious?

High prices, long queues, terrible facilities, poor standard of food and drink, etc are all within the clubs gift to change to some extent, but it can't be denied that it's much more difficult to get folk to football matches now that it's never off the TV.

I'd go... Ripley Law Laing Kennedy Hammell Ainsworth Lasley Grimshaw Johnson Clarkson Moult

I've plumped for Grimshaw. He's getting better and better for us and his run and cross for the third goal was magnificent.
