That Saints are the only senior team to have their name on the Scottish Junior Cup?
It was way back in 1916 that Saints decided to field a team in the Scottish Junior Leagues and it was during that first season that they were succesful in the Junior Cup competition.

That Saints were involved in the highest ever SPL attendance?
On the 7th April 2001, 60,440 fans were at Celtic Park to witness the match between Celtic and Saints.
The match turned out to be the title winning match for the home team, which added to the attendance, but no other 'title decider' since has been better attended!

That Saints are the only team to appear in a major cup final in every decade of the 20th century?
Not even Rangers and Celtic achieved that honour!
For the record, Rangers missed out in the 1910's and Celtic in the 1940's.
Competitions included in this achievment are the ones that every club in the country are eligible to compete in, so this does not include local cups or charity/invitational competitions.
Basically any competition under the auspices of the SFA or the SFL are included, ie. Scottish Cup, League Cup, Summer Cup, Victory Cups, Drybrough Cups, Anglo Scottish Cup, League Challenge Cup.
... Every club in the country were eligible to compete in these competitions.
And for those dismissing Saints achievments claiming 'Diddy' status for some of the competitions....... apart from the League Challenge Cup, both Rangers and Celtic participated in every other competition on several occasions, and had any of them been relegated, they would have played in that!!!

Saints record:-
1900's
1908 Scottish Cup

1910's
1919 Victory Cup

1920's

We have started the 21st century on target to continue the run with
2000's
2005 League Challenge Cup

2010's

So 12 straight decades with Saints in a cup final!! A record to be proud of.
If only we could win more of them...........!!!!
