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.

Brad Lyons joins on loan

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Brad Lyons on loan until the end of the season.

The Northern Irishman joins the Buddies on loan from English Championship side Blackburn Rovers and becomes the fourth signing of the January transfer window.

Brad began his career working under St Mirren manager Oran Kearney at Coleraine.

After making just over 100 appearances for the Bannsiders, the 21 year-old joined Blackburn on loan before signing a permanent deal with Rovers this month.

Speaking on the move, Brad said: "It’s absolute brilliant and I can’t wait to get started at such a great club.

"There was always rumours because the manager was at Coleraine. I was buzzing that the club was interested in me because it’s such a great club in a high league.

"I know the way the manager works and he knows the way I play so that relationship was always going to stand us in good stead."

Oran Kearney said: "I’m really pleased to have Brad in.

"I absolutely know that the fans will love him and I know what I will get from him in training and on a match day. It’s everything we need for the battle we are in.

"He’s a central midfielder who is versatile in that I could ask him to play in front of the back four and he would do that with great discipline or I could ask him to play ahead of the midfield and link things and get beyond.

"He will bring a huge amount of good attributes to us, but more than anything a hunger and a desire to be here. He’s so keen to push on and it’s that hunger and desire that is so important."

Brad could make his St Mirren debut this weekend as Saints take on Alloa Athletic in the William Hill Scottish Cup.

Tickets are on-sale at the St Mirren Ticket Office and online.

Get your tickets now at the St Mirren Ticket Office or online and Back The Buds!

New Signing: Vaclav Hladky

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Czech Republic goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky from Slovan Liberec on a deal until June 2020.

The 28 year-old goalkeeper becomes the Buddies’ third addition in the January transfer window.

Speaking on signing for Saints, Vaclav told stmirren.com: “I’m very happy that I am here and it is a great chance for me.

“The Scottish Premiership is a great league and I’m looking forward to my first match.”

Oran Kearney said: “We are over the moon.

“A huge amount of work has gone on behind the scenes, not only to source and find, but then to go and get Vaclav.

“He has a good pedigree, he’s at a real good age for a goalkeeper and comes in really hungry and wanting to prove himself.

“I’m delighted for him, delighted for the club and really looking forward to seeing him in action.”

Mihai Popescu joins Saints on-loan until the end of the season

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Romanian defender Mihai Popescu on a six-month loan from Dinamo Bucharest subject to international clearance.

The 25 year-old joins the club until the end of the season with Saints having an option to buy the centre-half.

Popescu began his career Dinamo Bucharest and was part of the Voluntari side that won the Romanian Supercup in 2017. 

Speaking on the move, Popescu said: "I signed the contract today and hope to start training tomorrow.

"It is my first experience outside Romania and I think it is a good opportunity for me and my career.

"I think this is a good team here in Scotland and I am glad to be here. I hope to be able to help this team."

St Mirren manager Oran Kearney said: “Mihai is someone who is at a good age.

"He’s 25 and he’s not one who is coming here to cut his teeth in football.

"He has plenty of games behind him and plenty of experience in a very tough league.

"It’s one we’re very confident on and hopefully he’ll be a great signing."

Cammy Smith leaves to join Dundee United

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Cammy Smith has left the club to join Ladbrokes Championship side Dundee United for an undisclosed fee.

Cammy joined Saints from Aberdeen on an initial six-month loan in January 2017 and played a massive part in the Buddies' great escape to avoid relegation to League One.

After impressing during his loan, the 23 year-old signed a permanent two-year deal with Saints in May 2017.

In his time at Saints, Cammy made 84 appearances scoring 16 goals and was named St Mirren’s official Player of the Year last season as the Buddies went on to win the Championship and promotion back to the Ladbrokes Premiership.

St Mirren manager Oran Kearney said: "Cammy goes with a heavy heart.

"It’s been a frustrating season for him. He’s been in and out of the team and it probably just hasn’t happened the way he wanted it to happen.

"But with that he is a young lad who wants football and it’s hard to promise the opportunities in the transition that we are at.

"He is adamant he wants to go out and play football and I respect that and have no issue with that.

"I spoke in front of everyone this morning to thank Cammy for his time at the club.

"It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge what Cammy did before I arrived at the club and it’s so important to acknowledge that Cammy’s contribution over the last couple of years has been nothing short of phenomenal."

Everyone at St Mirren would like to thank Cammy for all his contributions in his time at the club and wish him all the best for his future.

Adam Eckersley joins Forfar Athletic on loan

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Adam Eckersley has joined Ladbrokes League One side Forfar Athletic on loan until the end of the season.

The Englishman joined the club on deadline day in the 2017 January transfer window. Adam went on to make 42 appearances for Saints scoring once for the Buddies.

During his time at St Mirren, Adam helped St Mirren escape relegation to League One in his first few months at the club before playing an important role in our Ladbrokes Championship winning side last season.

St Mirren manager Oran Kearney said: “I think it’s been a frustrating time for Adam in relation to the events of the summer and then his operation and rehab to come back from that.

“I have a good relationship with Adam, I’ve always got on well with him and I’m pleased for him to be getting out and getting on with his football. It’s also with a scenario that suits him and he can move on with the rest of his life and do things he would like to do.

“All-in-all it’s an amicable ending for both parties.”

Everyone at St Mirren would like to thank Adam for all his contributions in his time at the Buddies and wish him all the best for his future.

 

Three depart

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Dean Lyness and Conor O'Keefe have left the club following the expiry of their contracts. 

Goalkeeper Lyness made four appearances for Saints, keeping one clean sheet, after joining on a short-term deal in September.

St Mirren Academy graduate Conor O'Keefe leaves after making seven appearances in his time at the club. 

We can also confirm that Jeff King has left the club by mutual consent. 

The English winger signed a two-year deal with the club in June after leaving English Championship side Bolton Wanderers, but found first team opportunities at Saints limited, making just three appearances. 

We would like to thank Dean, Conor and Jeff for all their efforts in their time at St Mirren and wish them all the best in their future career.
