#NoHomeKit
We will play in our away kit during tomorrow's match against Aberdeen at the SMiSA Stadium to show our support for Shelter Scotland's #NoHomeKit campaign.
Every 18 minutes, a household is made homeless in Scotland, with over 8,600 children trapped in temporary accommodation as of September 2022. And as the lasting effects of the pandemic meet a growing cost of living crisis, this problem is only set to worsen.
Campaigns like #NoHomeKit helps Shelter Scotland raise awareness around the scale of this problem and the circumstances of those facing homelessness, as well as generate crucial funding to end homelessness in Scotland for good.
To find out more about the campaign please click HERE.

Electronic Ticketing System
At the SMiSA Stadium we have an electronic ticketing system in place at the turnstiles.
The process of using the system is fairly straight-forward and easy to use:
- On entering the turnstile you will see the ticket reader.
- Place your match ticket (with the barcode or QR code facing upwards) or smartcard – into the aperture
- Once the ticket/smartcard is accepted into the system the green light will illuminate and an audio alert will sound after which you should hear the turnstile being unlocked
- Push the turnstile gate and enter the stadium as you normally would.
The whole process will only take a few seconds.
Please note that there will be stewards in attendance to help where required.

Street Parking on Matchday
The Club has been made aware of problems occasioned by inconsiderate parking in the area of Tannahill Road.
Seemingly supporters are parking despite the presence of double yellow lines and as a consequence local bus routes are also being blocked because streets in this area are narrow and fans are parking on both sides. People, many of whom are elderly, are having to walk from Greenhill Road to their homes because buses can’t get access.
Residents who have cars parked in driveways are experiencing similar difficulties getting their vehicles in and out. On being approached by local residents some supporters have been somewhat aggressive which could lead to confrontation.
St Mirren Football Club strives to be a good neighbour and we would ask that ALL supporters attending the stadium not only park in accordance with local parking restrictions but also give consideration to the needs of local residents by parking sensibly so as not to occasion an unnecessary obstruction.
-
Picking Up & Dropping Off by Car on Match Day
We are also aware of problems with patrons parking at the front of the Main Stand to pick up disabled supporters at the end of the game. This area is a 'no parking' zone on match days (with cones on the road) and has to be kept clear for emergency access. It is an inappropriate location for disabled spectator uplifts, as not only does it cause an obstruction on the road, it also causes a danger to pedestrians leaving the stadium.
Please note that the designated pick-up/drop off points are either in Drums Avenue or the two lay-byes on Ferguslie Park Avenue.

Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.
At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.
