As a club we continue to plan for the new season ahead. The new fixture list for season 2020/21 gives us the opportunity to test ourselves right from the kick-off and this is a challenge the team is looking forward to. Our new signings have settled into training with the team and our testing process is now established. We continue to have no adverse cases affecting any of the squad. Check out the footage of the team in training.
Season ticket sales continue to grow and over 2400 have already been sold. This shows magnificent levels of support from you, the fans, and we are always grateful for your commitment to the club. We confirmed previously that season ticket holders will be able to watch all home games online as part of their season ticket package whilst we have games held behind closed doors or socially distanced. This will be accessed through our new St Mirren TV platform. The club will be contacting season ticket holders in the next few weeks to ensure accurate information is held to allow this to take place as seamlessly as possible.
The new kit is nearly here. The supply chain has been significantly slowed down by the ongoing pandemic, however we anticipate having these in the post w/c 20th July . Thank you all for your patience, we are very nearly there!
We are slowly reintroducing staff back into the stadium in preparation for the new season in a safe and controlled manner. One of the additional benefits of this is that it will allow us to make faster progress in issuing the individual numbers to everyone as part of the Be in that Number Campaign. We have currently issued over 1800 and will be working hard over the next week or so to issue the rest of the numbers.

And finally
With the continued progress towards the return to normality in most of our personal lives and in football we felt it was an appropriate time to make this the last specific Covid-19 update.
As a football club we would not survive without our supporters and never has this been more transparent than over the last 17 weeks.
Because of your support over the last four years and beyond the club continues to be in a solid financial position to get through this crisis and come out the other end even stronger.
Because of your support in buying new season tickets and not asking for refunds on last years, in continuing to pay 1877 club memberships, in pre-ordering our new strip and with the continued support from our commercial sponsors we have had the confidence to start to sign players who will help continue our progress on the pitch and achieve our aim to compete at an even higher level this season. We have also been able to continue our pursuit of Elite level academy status at a time when many clubs have had to consider the future of their own academies.
Because of your support of the St Mirren Charitable Foundation throughout this crisis they were able to provide much needed aid to people in need as well as supporting local residents and charities.
Because of all those SMiSA members who have continued to pay their subscriptions during this time of immense hardship we remain on track to become fan owned in 2021.
Because of all these things, on behalf of The St Mirren Football Club, we humbly thank you all.
