Keep Off The Pitch

Gilmour had to issue a plea for fans to stay off the pitch towards the end of last season, as some of the away games had seen fans going on to the pitch as the title run in gathered pace.

With us now being in a higher league, it is only a matter of time before action is taken if these incidents keep occuring. So, from now on, any Saints fan arrested home or away for invading the pitch will be banned from Love Street.

Seems reasonable and hopefully the threat of this will cut it out fairly quickly. To read Stewart Gilmour's full statement, go to http://www.saintmirren.net/content/members/news06-07.php?story=1&row=3378

Update: It now seems that, because of the actions of some Saints fans, Strathclyde Police are stepping up their presence at home games, resulting in Saints paying them more money. Well done Saints fans.
