St Johnstone were fortunate.
They were donated the land for McDiarmid Park by a retired farmer Bruce McDiarmid who had received a lot money selling his land for the western bypass of Perth and they sold Muirton Park to ASDA providing the owners of Perth Ice Rink which was next door to Muirton Park also sold the ice rink to ASDA.
The days of supermarket companies purchasing Football grounds are long gone.
Tesco purchased St Mirren’s ground at Love Street but due to a downturn in trading Tesco never built their supermarket at Love Street and they subsequently sold the site which now has social housing on it.
You also need to remember that St Johnstone FC are the sole professional football club in Perth whereas in Dundee it is unlikely that Dundee United supporters will be cremated in the crematorium at Campy Nou nor use the restaurants in the football stadium for funeral teas.
The profits from the bars and restaurants in the new stadium will go to the owners of the site to repay their loans to pay for the cost of the new stadium which alone was reported to cost between £40 million and £50 million two years ago.
Islay should we just turn the lights aff at dens they and call it a day,because we have had fans on the board(shambles) and there does not seem to be anyone out there wanted to buy the club from fps.
So the scenario is we hope our owners now succeed and we move to a new stadium or we end up part time in league 1.
