St Johnstone to call elderly season ticket holders during football shutdown

St Johnstone manager Tommy Wright and his players will call elderly season ticket holders to offer support during the coronavirus shutdown.

The McDiarmid Park squad remain on home training programmes as the sporting community comes together in an attempt to halt the spread of the worldwide pandemic.

Saints are pitching in to lift spirits and Wright said: “The players and coaching staff remain away from McDiarmid Park and we feel this is the safest and best course of action.

“All players have their own individual training programmes which are being monitored daily by staff assuring that when football does finally return they are raring to go.

“While football remains suspended, myself, my staff and the players will be phoning around our elderly season ticket holders for a quick chat and to see if there is anything that the club can do to assist.

“Once we have called our elderly supporters, we will do our best to phone round as many season ticket holders as possible for as long as this break from football continues.

 “So, if you receive a phone call from myself or one of the staff or players, it isn’t a hoax.”
