First Team
#PaintItBlue day at McDiarmid Park!
27th January 2017
Friday 27th January
Tomorrow sees St. Johnstone play Hamilton Accies (for admission info click HERE) in our first home league match of the New Year. This week and for the past month we've been running a promotional campaign for this fixture called #PaintItBlue, which really got going following our promotional video for the match going viral earlier this week.
Tomorrow we'll be running a number of different activities for children and families before kick off. Here's a breakdown of them all:
FACEPAINTING
Saturday is all about wearing as much blue as possible, and for our younger fans a fun way to be even more blue is to paint your face! We'll have four professional facepainters situated outside the Ormond Stand from 1.30pm until kick off. They are free of charge.
PLAYER APPEARANCES
First team players Liam Gordon and Michael Coulson will be appearing near the front row of the SSE Ormond Stand to sign autographs and pose for photos from 2.30pm until shortly before kick off. The players will also have team posters to hand out (these posters will also be available from kiosks in the East and Main Stands).
REPLICA SHIRT SALE
Inside the East and Ormond stands, as well as being available from the Saints Shop for supporters in the Main Stand, Total Teamwear will be selling home replica shirts for a bargain £10! (£5 for home shorts). This fantastic offer is for one day only.
BLUE FLAG DESIGN
We'll have blue flags on sale outside the entrance to the Ormond Stand and fans can also write (with a white marker) some text or draw a picture on the flag too! The flags are just £2 each.
ORMOND STAND PHOTO BOOTH
Inside the Ormond Stand is a green screen where a photographer can take pictures of children and families which will later on be given a photoshopped background of an action photo from the game itself. These photos will be uploaded to Facebook later next week.
KIOSKS
We will have some special Tower Bakery-made #PaintItBlue themed biscuits on sale from kiosks before and during the game.
MUIRTON SUITE
The Muirton Suite (a family-friendly bar situated on the south side of the Main Stand) opens at 11am and a face painter will be arriving at 12.30pm.
FRANKIE & BENNY'S
Our friends at Frankie & Benny's in Perth (St. Catherine's Leisure Park) have been kind enough to offer children either wearing a Saints shirt or with blue facepaint on to eat for free when with a paying adult. This offer is for tomorrow only.
-
Remember admission to the SSE Ormond Family Stand is only £16 for an adult and up to two U13's for home league matches. Children aged 12 or under are also admitted free to any part of McDiarmid Park when accompanied by a paying adult.
