We brought a massive support that day. There were over 4,000 locked out. No-one is saying you didn't bring a big support that day just not as big as CS was claiming back in the day. Anyways have you not got a semi final to look forward to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why there was a huge crowd at Fir Park. We missed you Captain..... Crowdwanking is so last year....in fact it kinda disappeared when you did before you reinvented yourself as flabby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why there was a huge crowd at Fir Park. Doesn't seem very high. Less than 5000 I think. Are there any documented cases of this "cup fever". Hospital records or even death notices as this singular event swept through Paisley? And have you considered it was more of a Cup Pandemic with motherwell also falling foul due to our 3-0 win over Kilmarnock? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thirty years since you won anything. Thatcher had just left office and the Berlin Wall had only been down a year. Jeezo. When was it St Mirren last finished above Motherwell? Congrats on the League cup, I am jealous of that tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any evidence of higher crowds that season at Fir Park? I wasn’t there but I heard the roar when we scored from my garden, some roar over the top of 150,000 Saints fans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I've obviously been well aware of the 15,000 St Mirren fans argument for years, but had naturally assumed they had at least won the game from they went on about it. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YassinMoutaouakil Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 I will say though, after the Killie fans collectively boycotted our thread from the weekend, it's nice to have a bit of unexpected needle on a Monday afternoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 St Mirren are one of those teams that’s support increases when they’re doing well. Which is hardly ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motherwell are one those teams who went into administration and paid their creditors 15p in the £. It’s called financial cheating. At least Rangers 1872-2012 won some trophies while they were cheating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there were further dividends to the creditors over the years but I don’t know the total of what they all got back in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
