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.

    BY RAIL

    Get train from Paisley Gilmour Street to Paisley St James – exit from the station is straight onto Greenhill Road where the stadium is facing you. To plan your journey by rail with Scotrail please click HERE.

    BY BUS

    Most buses will stop at Paisley Cross or Mill Street, from both you will see the Paisley Town Hall. From the Town Hall cross the High Street towards the Piazza Shopping Centre, when acoss walk towards the town centre until you come to Gilmour Street. 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:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

    Away fans: cross road to Love Street continue up the street till you come to Albion Street where you will turn left. Follow Albion Street until you come to the junction with Greenock Road where you will turn right. Cross the road then walk about 200 yards before taking your first left on to Clark Street. Walk straight up Clark Street to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the the stadium on the opposite side of the road. Access to the North Stand will be from Ferguslie Park Avenue.

More than 30,000 take part in Street Stuff in 2017/18

Renfrewshire's award-winning diversionary programme Street Stuff saw attendances of 31,218 young people during 2017/18.

Young people can take part in football and dance, as well as gaming and DJ workshops provided on a specially designed Youth Bus.

Working with the Renfrewshire Community Safety Partnership, the programme identifies hot spot areas of anti-social behaviour and aims to divert young people into more meaningful activities.

The programme also includes the provision of healthy meals to young people, with 5081 provided in 2017/18 - taking the total number of healthy meals provided since the extended programme began in October 2015 to more than 20,000.

The programme is not only providing a place to play though, with almost 80% of the sessional workers being former participants of the programme and this volunteering experience is boosting their future employment prospects.

Stephen Gallacher, Street Stuff Manager, said: "The volunteers and staff take immense pride in the success of the programme and the difference being made to the lives of young people in Renfrewshire.

"We are actively working to engage with young people, ensure they have positive activities to take part in and aim to guide them into positive destinations which they may otherwise not be able to achieve.

"I'm delighted to see the number of attendees who go from taking part in the activities to helping to deliver them to the next generation of young people and we'll continue to give young people the skills and experience they need for the future."

Since it was introduced in 2009, there has been a sustained reduction in anti-social behaviour in Renfrewshire and young people are actively seeking out the activities within their community.

An independent evaluation into the programme undertaken by the University of West of Scotland in June 2017 delivered an extremely positive outlook, outlining that Street Stuff provides positive activities, improves social inclusion and gives young people access to facilities and experiences within local communities they otherwise wouldn't receive.

The success of the programme was recognised with three high-profile awards in 2017, with success coming at the COSLA Excellence Awards, ROCCO Business Awards and Scottish Public Sector Awards.

Adam Eckersley and Gary MacKenzie to have operations

St Mirren Alan Stubbs has confirmed that both Adam Eckersley and Gary MacKenzie will have operations to try and correct injury issues that have ruled them out this season. 

Neither defender has featured so far this season and they will now go under the knife. 

Speaking to the press yesterday at the unveiling of new signing Lee Hodson, Stubbs said: "We’ve got to the stage now where Adam Eckersley is getting an operation on Thursday and Gary MacKenzie is going to need a big operation which is going to keep him out for a considerable amount of time.

"Gary hasn’t had a setback – I think it had got to the stage where we were not seeing the improvement that we expected.

"We’ve got a second opinion from a specialist down in London and he has advised us now that he needs the operation."

Stubbs also gave an update on loanee Danny Rogers who suffered an injury in Monday's reserve league match against Dundee United. 

The goalkeeper is awaiting a scan to determine the extent of the injury.

Stubbs said: "At this moment we are just waiting for him to get a scan and let the professionals decide what the diagnosis is."

St Mirren Reserves off to winning start

The St Mirren Reserves went top of the SPFL Reserve League on match day one after a thumping 5-0 win over Dundee United at the Simple Digital Arena.

Allan McManus' side were in total control throughout the 90 minutes and more than deserved the emphatic win. 

The Buddies set the tempo earlier opening the lead with just two minutes played. The Dundee United defence failed to deal with a Conor O'Keefe cross allowing Jeff King to side-foot home from the edge of the box. 

The English winger doubled his and Saints' tally on 22 minutes when he was on hand to tap home a Cammy MacPherson ball across the box. 

The visitors had the ball in the net just before half-time, but they were denied by the far side linesman's flag. 

Saints made it three just a few minutes after the interval when Cody Cooke slid the ball underneath United goalkeeper Josh Donaldson's legs from close range. 

Three became four on the hour mark when King added an assist to his two goals. He raced to the byline and cut the ball back to meet Scott Glover who arrived in the six-yard box to finish. 

Less than 10 minutes later, Glover added his second of the game after receiving a through ball from Sam Jamieson. 

The scoreline could have been more emphatic for Saints had further strikes from Cooke and Jamieson not been denied by the offside flag. 

However, despite an impressive performance and scoreline, the game ended on a sour note when Saints goalkeeper Danny Rogers had to be stretchered off after picking up what seemed to be a knee injury.

Up next for the Buddies will be a trip to the Hummel Training Centre in Auchenhowie on Monday to face Rangers.

Full Time: St Mirren Reserves 5-0 Dundee United Reserves

Extended highlights are available to Buddievision subscribers here.

St Mirren: Rogers, Reid, Potter, Heaton, MacPherson, Erhahon, Glover, McShane, O'Keefe, King, Cooke
Subs: Muir, Miller, Walker, McBrearty, Grant, Jamieson

Lee Hodson Joins St Mirren

St Mirren Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Lee Hodson on a season-long loan. 

The Northern Irish international, who can play at left and right back, joins from Rangers until the end of the season. 

Lee began his career at English Premier League side Watford and had spells at Brentford, MK Dons and Kilmarnock before signing for Rangers in 2016. 

Speaking about the signing St Mirren manager Alan Stubbs said: "Lee brings the qualities that we are after.

He brings experience, a winning mentality and his own individual qualities. It's one we've been keen to do for the last few weeks.

"We're delighted that he is in and it is going to provide real competition for places which is what we want. As well as being a right back he can play at left back as well which is good.

"There's no issues with him in terms of fitness so all being well he will go straight into the squad for Saturday."
