Toxteth O'Grady

Today's Sun.

Have we not been seeded in the 3rd qualifying round in previous years? I thought it was only the play-off round we were unseeded for.

St Johnstone website mentions £5 entry for under-18s, or £15 for 1 adult and up to two under-12s. Presumably it will be the same for away fans...?

Last I heard, there was talk of introducing corporate memberships. Any update on this?

Thought I'd start this thread early, if only to ask if anyone has heard if St Johnstone are planning to reduce prices for this one? Should be a decent crowd going up I'd imagine.

BBC Highlights

More positive talk from McCall re Higdon: http://m.scotsman.com/sport/football/top-football-stories/stuart-mccall-hopeful-higdon-will-pen-new-contract-1-2903622

It's probably common knowledge, but I've just noticed on the BBC website that kick off tonight is 7.30pm rather than 7.45pm.

Surely the police wouldn't allow it. That's been the precident in previous years has it not?

Betcha the rules are changed back when Sevco reach the top flight.

Pie & Bovril Already mentioned in the shoutbox last night. If this is true, then the team finishing 2nd this season is being shafted. It also seems to have been kept very quiet...

John McGlynn leaves Hearts by mutual consent We're bound to lose now

Just received my financial statement for the year ending May 2012. The club made a "significant" loss of £599,919 for the 2011/12 season, mainly due to No transfer fees Exiting the cups early No income from Europe Higher than expected bonus costs due to the excellent league performance Legal costs for Well Society formation The report states that the club is in a strong position relative to many others, but that "we cannot continue to run the risk of repeating losses of this size", and a full review of costs is underway. Any benefit gained by cutting costs will be offset by a reduction in income due to Rangers not being in the SPL. Apparently if we were to add an average of 1500 fans to each home gate, the loss would disappear.

Just received an email from the 'Well Society:
