Given the uncertainties that still remain about when we will be playing competitive football again the club needs to budget to ensure we can continue to pay all players and staff and make sure we are in a strong position to ride out this storm and continue our upward progress as a football club.
The biggest commitment any individual supporter can make to our football club on a yearly basis is by buying a season ticket.
The vast majority of fans getting in touch with us have said they do not want any money back from this years’ season tickets should the season not be played to a conclusion, and all at the club hugely appreciate your loyalty and support at this difficult time.
However we feel the least we can do is offer something back, so we would like to offer all current season ticket holders entry to one league cup game and one pre-season friendly free of charge next year in return for not getting any compensation this year’s season ticket.
We are aware that some clubs have already put season tickets on sale but we would prefer to wait for a bit more clarity before making a decision on a release date. We can assure you that there will be no increase in prices next season unless the situation changes dramatically.
The stadium and airdome remain closed for the foreseeable future but we will continue to update you on a weekly basis.
Buddievision will remain free for the rest of this season but we would ask all those who can afford to do so to continue their monthly subscriptions as it is a valuable source of income for the club and every last penny is vital at this time. If you have any inspirational ideas of things you would like to see on Buddievision please contact james.hunter@stmirren.com
Supporters can still get in touch with us via email.

The commercial department will remain open and supporters and sponsors wishing to make contact are advised to do so by email commercial@stmirren.com.
Street Stuff have 11 staff members assisting with the delivery of activities in schools which are currently open for the children of emergency service workers. We will continue to assist the local community in any way we can to help us all through this crisis. All other Street Stuff programs are cancelled for now.
Over the course of the past week since the stadium closed, the team at St Mirren FC Charitable Foundation have worked hard to ensure that there is no delivery interruption to any of our programs. Last night was the first night of the new online workouts and educational content and it was very successful and although these were created for our groups, they will be posted on all of the social media platforms, stated below, and YouTube for all to see and take part.
Our community football team have been very creative with all of their children’s activities, from skills & drills, to fun comps & challenges and educational projects, with the coaches, parents and now players taking part. We will be rewarding participants in unique ways and would again encourage you all to follow the social media platforms below for updates as these activities will be posted most days.
As you know we have pledged our support and resources to Star project and other local partners and would thank our dear friends at Manorview Leisure for reaching out to us to offer us all of the fresh produce from their hotels which we donated to Star and are now distributing out to community fridges and those in need.
While the planned Kiltwalk has been postponed we are still taking donations from anyone who feels they can help with the Hunter Foundation adding a 50% Bonus to fundraising totals as of 31st March.
