Jim Goodwin reckons a trip to McDiarmid Park will feel like a home game for Dundee United after their St Johnstone sellout.
It is a huge match for United as it gives them the opportunity to jump above their Tayside rivals and closer to safety in their bottom-six opener. The significance hasn’t been lost on the supporters who sold out their entire 2700 allocation in under an hour. Goodwin said: “The first one at the weekend , St Johnstone, is a great one for us and the supporters.
“The tickets went on sale and they sold out within an hour. It has been an incredible effort from the punters to get behind the team. We will have just as many fans as St Johnstone, if not more. It makes for a good occasion and it is an important game for us as well. St Johnstone are above us at the moment but if we were able to go there and get the win that would help us leapfrog them. That is the incentive for us.
