Visitor Information

  • 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.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    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.

Scott Tanser loving life at Saints after hitting 100th appearance milestone


St Mirren's last match before the winter break saw Scott Tanser make his 100th appearance for the club.

The left-wing-back - who has been an ever present for Saints in the cinch Premiership this season - joined St Mirren in June 2021 following the expiry of his contract at St Johnstone and has proved to be an important part of Stephen Robinson’s side.  

The 29-year-old admits it’s not been all plain sailing during his time at the Buddies, with off-field struggles as well as injury issues playing their part in a difficult year for him last season.

But self-reflection during the summer has led Scott to his happiest time in football and he’s loving being part of this Saints team.

After reaching the milestone 100th appearance, Scott told stmirren.com: “I was really proud.

100 appearances for any club is a great achievement and hopefully there will be many more. I’ll be pushing for 200 now!

"I know I made my 300th career appearance against Rangers at Ibrox in December and hopefully now I can just add more here.

"My first season was really good under Jim Goodwin and I enjoyed every minute of it. I thought I did well and settled into the club really well. I knew some players when I joined which always helps.

"I then had troubles with injuries and some troubles off the pitch as well so last season wasn’t a really good season for me personally.

I took the whole summer to reflect on that season, put all the mental stuff behind me and I’ve not looked back.

"This season has been great for me. Sometimes you need to take yourself away from the football side of things. Your health is more important than anything and that is what I got to learn."

Happiness away from football has helped translate on the pitch with Scott believing he is playing his best football of his career.

"Football was always the main thing in my life but now for me it’s family first and you need time for yourself to reflect and be happy.

I had real struggles and I wasn’t enjoying it last season but as soon as I came back in the summer I was as happy as I’ve ever been.

"I’m happier away from the pitch now and I’m happier coming in to training. I can’t wait to come in every day and see the lads. We have a great group of people in and around the club. Not just the players and coaching staff but everyone at the club. That goes for people like Mags who works at the training ground. Everyone is together and everyone is included."

It’s the best changing room I’ve been in. I’ve been in some changing rooms where there are divides and some groups that form here and there, but there’s nothing like that here. When a new player comes in they are made to feel welcome because everyone embraces them and makes them feel comfortable.

"I felt that way when I joined also. I had been at St Johnstone for four or five years and felt comfortable there and when I left it was a new challenge. There’s always a worry about how you are going to settle in. But straight away I hit the ground running and that’s down to everyone at the club helping you doing that."

"I always said the double cup winning season at St Johnstone was my best in terms of playing, but now I feel like I’m back to the player I was when I was younger. Obviously, I’m not young now, I’m kicking on a bit!

"I’m playing with freedom, playing with confidence and that’s something I always wanted to be doing. I’m so hard on myself and I could get so deep into that. With a lot of self-reflection I feel confident and free.

The gaffer has been great with me," he continued.

"He’s given me a lot of responsibility this season being an older player and I think that’s helped as I’ve never really had that responsibility of guiding younger players. I’ve got to have a voice now and I enjoy that.

"It’s definitely brought out a more confident side of me because I was quiet. Everyone knows I’m quiet away from football and just keep myself to myself.

"On the pitch, I’ve realised you can’t be quiet and the more responsibility you have, the players respect you and the fans are great. They keep singing my song which everyone loves. It’s really nice."

'Oh Scotty Tanser runs down the wing for me' can be heard most weeks at The SMiSA Stadium and Scott admitted it's not just the Saints support who enjoy the song.

Zach [Hemming] is singing it all the time," he laughed.

"Even when fans are singing it during the games I get it in my head as well. It makes you play better. The first season I came here the fans took to me because they saw the type of player I was.

I’ve been a football fan myself and all you want is 100% from a player and if that’s what they give you then you are happy with it. That’s what I try to give every single week."

Scott was talking to stmirren.com as our winter training camp in Pinatar was reaching its end. 

The week in Spain has been brilliant.

"It’s always good to get away and work hard. You also get the benefits of the better weather and it gives everyone that push to work harder.

"It’s good for everyone bonding as well even though we are a strong bunch. I really think this week has really brought everyone together."

Scott Tanser in training at our winter camp in Pinatar

Saints return to action on Saturday following the winter break with Queen of the South the visitors in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

Scott says he's keen on finishing the season strongly after a good first half of the season. 

"I think we started the season really well," he said.

"Performances aren’t always going to be at a top level but it’s about how you bounce back from these games. I think to be fifth coming the halfway point at the season is great for the club.

We know as a group what we are trying to achieve, and we are on track to do that.

"I just want to keep playing the best that I can and pitch in with a few goals and assists to help the team."

Up Next: St Mirren v Queen of the South (20th Jan)


St Mirren return to action this weekend as we get set to host League One side Queen of the South in the Scottish Gas Scottish Cup.

Stephen Robinson's men welcome the Doonhamers to The SMiSA Stadium in the Fourth Round of the competition. Having entered at this stage, this is Saints' first Scottish Cup match this season. The Buddies defeated Dundee in the Fourth Round last season before exiting with a defeat away to eventual winners Celtic in the Fifth Round.

Queen of the South defeated Championship leaders Dundee United at Palmerston in the Third Round to reach this stage. Marvin Bartley's side defeated the Arabs 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time. Ex-Saint Gavin Reilly was on the scoresheet for the Doonhamers as they progressed.

This is the first time the two sides have met since a League Cup encounter at Palmerston in October 2020. Queen of the South shocked Saints by running into a 2-0 lead early on, but second-half goals from Jamie McGrath and Marcus Fraser saw the Buddies come back to draw 2-2. 

Our last home match against Queen of the South came at The SMiSA Stadium in February 2018 when Liam Smith and Harry Davis scored in a 2-0 Saints win in our Championship winning season. 

The Buddies have won four of the last five matches against the Doonhamers, with our last defeat coming at The SMiSA Stadium in January 2017 when Queen of the South won 3-0.

Stephen Robinson on Pinatar trip


Stephen Robinson spoke at our winter training camp at the Pinatar Arena in Spain. 

The manager talked about the benefits of the the training camp, Hyeokkyu Kwon joining up with the side, young players involved and reflected on our season so far. 

St Mirren pays condolences to Denis Connaghan


St Mirren Football Club is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our former player Denis Connaghan at the age of 79 following a short period of illness. 

Denis, a goalkeeper in his playing days, joined St Mirren in July 1966 from Renfrew and would go on to make 127 appearances for the Saints, keeping 23 clean sheets before departing to join Celtic in 1971.

The thoughts of everyone at St Mirren are with Denis' loved ones at this sad time.

Saints In Spain | Training Camp update


St Mirren are three days into a training camp at the Pinatar Arena in Spain with Stephen Robinson’s men being put through their paces during the winter break.

The Buddies have been almost two weeks without a competitive match but return to domestic action with a Scottish Cup Fourth Round tie against Queen of the South at The SMiSA Stadium on Saturday (20th Jan).

Saints warmed up for that tie with a friendly match against a AFE (Association of Spanish Footballers) Fútbol select side at the Campoamor yesterday afternoon. New signing Hyeokkyu Kwon played the first 45 minutes with Lewis Jamieson netting a first-half brace before Zach Hemming saved a penalty kick. There were a number of changes at the half-time interval as most players were given minutes. One of those was Toyosi Olusanya who made it 3-0 to Saints on the hour mark. AFE Fútbol pulled one back from the penalty spot on 67 minutes and added a second on 82 minutes from a corner but couldn’t find an equaliser.

Stephen Robinson’s side will have further training sessions at the Pinatar Arena at the beginning of the week before travelling back to Scotland on Thursday afternoon.

St Mirren sign Hyeokkyu Kwon on loan until the end of the season


St Mirren Football Club is happy to announce the loan signing of Hyeokkyu Kwon until the end of the season subject to clearance.

The Korean midfielder joins Saints on the temporary transfer for the remainder of the campaign from cinch Premiership league leaders Celtic.

22-year-old Hyeokkyu joined Celtic in July after agreeing a five-year-deal to move from Busan I-Park in his home country.

With Keanu Baccus away with Australia as part of their Asian Cup squad, manager Stephen Robinson admitted it was an area that he was keen to add to.

Stephen Robinson said: "He’s a player that comes highly recommended. Celtic were very keen for him to come to us which is a complement to the coaching staff here.

"He’s played a lot of games in South Korea and was signed by Celtic for big money. It was an area we needed to strengthen in midfield and with Keanu away at the Asian Cup it was important that we strengthened there.

"We believe that he [Hyeokkyu] will come in and add that strength. He breaks up play really well and he can start play really well for us as well. I’ve had some good conversations with Brendan Rodgers about him and we’re delighted to have him in."
