Supporters Direct Scotland has today (3 September) launched its Scottish Football Supporters Survey for 2018 and encourages St Mirren supporters to take part to help Scottish Football score a golden future.

Officially recognised as the lead supporters’ group in Scotland by the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and the Scottish Football Association (Scottish FA), Supporters Direct Scotland has established a formal means to engage with the game’s key decision makers and represent fans’ views.

Outcomes from 2017 were formally presented to the Scottish FA’s Professional Game Board and the Scottish FA Congress in December 2017, the latter of which includes representatives from all areas of football in Scotland.

Almost 14,000 supporters participated in last year’s survey, outcomes included:

• Value for money considered, "the biggest threat to the future of the game in the next five years"
• Ticket pricing, kick off times and the relationship fans have with their clubs considered to be the three most important factors in decision to attend a game

You can read more about the results of the 2017 survey, and the resulting "ask" by visiting www.scottishsupporters.net.

Survey will be setup annually over the next three years to allow to measure results and improvements.

It will cover the following:

• Value for money
• Fan experience
• Supporter engagement

This year’s findings will be reviewed by Supporters’ Direct Scotland, SPFL, the Scottish FA and also an insight group consisting of key media and communications staff from various SPFL clubs.

You can participate in the survey by clicking this link - www.scottishsupporters.net/survey

The survey will run for two weeks closing on Sunday 16 September.

Supporters of St Mirren provided an incredible 961.44kg of food at a foodbank collection before last Saturday's match against Livingston - enough for 2,290 meals for people in need in Renfrewshire. 

In the generous bid to help feed those less fortunate in the Renfrewshire area, both sets of fans donated the food - along with St Mirren players and staff, after the Renfrewshire foodbank put together a list of items that is was particularly short on.

In response to the overwhelming effort from the fans, the Renfrewshire Foodbank wrote a letter to St Mirren supporters thanking them for the collection as the number of people needing help from the local foodbank continues to increase.

Elizabeth Alexander, Project Manager of the Renfrewshire Foodbank said: "Please pass on our thanks to St Mirren fans, management team and players for the wonderful donation of 961.44kg of food which is 2,290 meals for people in crisis in Renfrewshire.

"This comes at a time when we are about to see the already large number of people who need our help increase further with the roll out of Universal Credit in Renfrewshire." 

The successful food collection has not been the first to have been organised by fans of the club and due to its success and the success of previous food collections before it, it won’t be the last thanks to the kind hearted Buddies that help to support the initiative.

To learn more about the Renfrewshire Foodbank and the work that they do please visit www.renfrewshire.foodbank.org.uk.

Lee Hodson says it felt horrible to lose to Livingston on Saturday and hopes the team can put it right this weekend.

The Northern Ireland international made his debut as The Buddies fell to a disappointing 2-0 home loss to Gary Holt's Lions side.

Saints travel through to Edinburgh on Saturday to face table-topping Hearts at Tynecastle. 

While the full-back accepts it will be a difficult match, he hopes Saints can put in a performance.

He said: "We need to improve and really work hard this week as we try to put things right this Saturday.

We need to put things right very quickly. But I know we will, we have a good bunch of lads, a good manager, and good coaches and we will work hard.

"We have a tough game against Hearts but we need to put things right and I am confident we will.

"We need to put that behind us and as a team produce a right good performance against Hearts." 

Hodson made his first appearance of the season on Saturday and while he was pleased to get a full 90 minutes under his belt, he 

It was nice to get 90 minutes," he said.

"But as a player I am always disappointed when I lose. I hate losing games and that feeling is horrible. As a team we felt how that felt on Saturday and we don’t want that to happen again.

"I actually thought we started quite well and played some good football, got in good positions but we never really had the quality or the composure in the final third to score.

"We knew set pieces were one of their strengths. They are a big team and they like to lump balls into the box, they also have long throws so from the back they are going to lump it up to their forwards." 

"It is disappointing because you never want to lose games. It was two set pieces we conceded from and it was sloppy from us and we need to do better. We will look over the clips and see where we can do better."

St Mirren travel through to Edinburgh on Saturday for the 3pm kick-off against Hearts.

Tickets for Saturday's match are on-sale at the St Mirren Ticket Office and online.

Please note that Hearts have said there will be no sale of tickets on the day of the match.
