St Mirren £22 is just ludicrous

- Neil Hayton

The Buddies’ loss in the Irn-bru Cup to Raith Rovers was the easiest defeat of the season to take; with a big injury list and two players away on Scotland Under-21’s duty, we started 16-yearold Ethan Erhahon at central midfield.

Obviously he’s nowhere near the finished article, but his debut highlighte­d the fantastic work that Alan Mcmanus (and his predecesso­r David Longwell) have done with the youth academy.

There’s a bit of an outrage amongst fans at the £22 pricing for Saturday’s game at Dumbarton. That amount of money to attend a match in the worst stadium in the second tier of football is ludicrous. The sooner there’s a standardis­ed (and affordable) pricing scheme for each league, the sooner fans will start coming back.
