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.

  • 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.

Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

Match Report: St Johnstone 2-0 St Mirren

St Mirren fell to a 2-0 defeat away to St Johnstone this afternoon with two second half goals giving the Perth Saints all three points.

The hosts took the lead through David Wotherspoon on the hour mark. They had the chance to extend their lead further but missed two penalty kicks before Matty Kennedy grabbed a second with less than 10 minutes to go.

Craig Samson made a terrific stop to deny the home side an opener. Matty Kennedy's cross met the head of Tony Watt who nodded into the ground, but the Buddies goalkeeper was down well to push the ball over the bar. 

Lee Hodson's was searching for Simeon Jackson at the back post when he swung in a cross on 16 minutes. But it looked like it may have been heading into the top corner with Zander Clark having to tip away.

The Paisley Saints were left frustrated on 22 minutes when referee Andrew Dallas booked Danny Mullen for simulation when it looked like the striker had clearly been fouled inside the St Johnstone box. 

Great work from Paul McGinn on the right just before half time saw the full-back steal the ball from Scott Tanser and charge towards the St Johnstone box. McGinn expertly picked out Mullen in space inside the box but the striker blazed well over the bar.

A minute later it was the home side who went close to breaking the deadlock before the interval with Samson tipping a Kennedy header on to the bar.

Tony Watt spurned a glorious opportunity to put the home side in front three minutes into the second half. The ball was played across the box, Buddies defender Alfie Jones slipped leaving the striker with what looked to be a simple tap-in. But somehow he side-footed the ball well wide. 

The home side had come out strongly after the break and took the lead on the hour mark. Watt tried to get on the end of a cross with an acrobatic effort, but missed the ball completely allowing it to fall to an unmarked Wotherspoon. The midfielder rolled the ball beyond Samson from close range to put St Johnstone in front.

Things looked like going from bad to worse when a penalty was awarded for a foul on Murray Davidson at the back post. Tony Watt stepped up but as he has done so often for St Mirren, Samson was equal to the attempt and pushed it away.

10 minutes later, St Johnstone were given a second penalty of the afternoon with Hodson penalised for a foul in the box. This time it was Liam Craig who assumed responsibility only to slam the ball over the bar. 

The two missed penalties failed to give St Mirren a lift though and it was St Johnstone who would go on to secure all three points with Kennedy on hand to knock home a rebound after Samson had made a good save to deny Jason Kerr.
