At least DD's post has some semblance of reality to it given they have been plundering our best players ever since Fergie and St. Mirren won the league, several cups and the European cup winners cup for them all those years ago. Maybe he doesn't want to play for a yoyo club? He might want to play SPL football for more than a couple of seasons at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closest we've got to yo yoing was promotion in 1999/2000 relegation 2000/2001 promotion 2005/2006. Don't have the exact Figures but in our 140 year history, I doubt we've spent more than 20 outside the top division. If I got that yoyo for my Xmas I wouldnae have been happy!

Steadied the ship and we've now got a settled side rather than Lee Clark's team bingo. He's also a good guy which helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly been fairly yoyo in my lifetime (born 84) and started going to games 88-89! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be correct. 92-2000 and 2001-2006. 13. Prior to that we had two short stints. One in the late 60s/early 70s and another long before that. Like I said, if it's more than 20 it's not by much. And no yo yoing. Similarly in my formative years of following St. Mirren (mid seventies to mid 80s) I barely knew who Killie were. Some wee team we rarely got to play. Not even on our radar.

We were not bad either side of that decade to be fair! Anyhoo, that's then this is now. One of my earliest memories of going to watch football was when my aunts brother played for St Mirren against us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one on those professional yoyos that you can do all the tricks with. Oh and also, unlike Killie we've never been below the second tier. Big club us.

We are both right, although I counted 2017/18 and just stopped counting when I got over 20, but appears St Mirren were in the top flight for all but 2 seasons (67/68 and 35/36) before 1970. But have been out it for 22 out the last 47 seasons, which is pretty close to half! Although on current form Motherwell are due a stint down there too.

Must've posted at same time. I shouldn't joke about it. In the cycle of things Motherwell and Killie are probably due their turn, given most of the city clubs have been down!

I was at Rugby Park for the game against Falkirk a few years ago. There were a few erses twitching that day!

Big club us. We've never avoided relegation through league construction ether................ We have played in the European Cup, been Champions of Scotland and played in a European Semi Final though! I enjoy my trips to Paisley, being from North Ayrshire it was a piece of p1ss trip for an away day! Would take Morton and St Mirren in the SPL anyday.
