A Message to All St Mirren Fans

Tony Fitzpatrick, Gordon Scott and Richard Atkinson
The time has come for all the talking to stop and action to be taken.
After much negotiating and deliberation we have agreed a deal in principal with the selling consortium to purchase their 52% shareholding in St Mirren Football Club in a way that is sustainable, engages the entire St Mirren community and also recognises the importance of the existing shareholders of the club both large and small.We have until June 15th 2012 to get the required support.

Make no mistake it will not be easy to achieve the numbers we require for this to happen and it needs every fan to get behind this and encourage others to do the same.
Message from Gordon Scott
"I have long believed that football has to evolve to survive. Every other sport has changed to try and make it more exciting but footballs idea of evolution is to put an extra assistant behind the goals for European games and to introduce a new ball for every major championship.We are unable to change our game if we want to play within the confines of world and European football so how can we evolve?
I have to admit that initially I was unsure about the CIC purchase of the controlling interest in the club but the more I have learned and got to understand it the more I see this as the way for football to evolve. By engaging the fans and giving them the opportunity to not only voice their opinions but actually do something with those opinions is very much in keeping with today's interactive society.
We have the opportunity to lead the way in Scottish football and I think we should seize that opportunity with great enthusiasm. My belief is such that I have committed my shareholding to the CIC to allow them to sell the 1877 shares packages. This allows us to reduce our borrowing and half the monthly amount required to pay back the loan making the whole deal much more sustainable.
I hope you will join me in creating our own form of evolution. This is only the beginning."
