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.

    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.

Lewis Morgan Injury Update

Lewis Morgan is making good progress after suffering his injury at the weekend, but manager Jack Ross has cautioned that there is no timescale for his return.

A scan has confirmed the winger has suffered no break but there is some ligament damage and bone bruising. 

stmirren.com caught up with the 20 year-old yesterday and while there is no date for a return to action, Morgan is staying in a positive frame of mind as he the club enters it's last six matches of the season.

Hopefully I can get back before the end of the season and feature in a few of the games because there are massive games coming up for the club and I want to be involved in it. But at the moment I'm just trying to remain positive and try not to get too caught up in it.

"I've had a couple of scans and I'm just waiting to see how that is but at the moment it's still quite sore. The swelling is going away and the bruising is coming out so hopefully that is a good sign. 

"I was running full tilt and I was trying to hit the ball as hard as I could and I think the impact has snapped my ankle back. It was a sore one at the time, very sore, so we'll just have to see what's happening with it.

"They were keen to get me straight to the hospital, so the ambulance came and picked me up. But the gaffer spoke to me, he text me straight away to see how I was and he even came in during the game to say that he would have a catch up with me.

"I think everyone is together," he continued. "Everyone was asking how I was and it's great having a gaffer who you know you can speak to any time. He's great with all the lads and he's been brilliant for me. 

"I've had a lot of messages from them [supporters] asking how I was and just luckily it's not as bad as first feared. Even at the games I've noticed a real difference since the turn of the year and I think the fans are seeing it on the pitch as well.

"We're both doing our part now. The fans have helped us and hopefully we are helping them enjoy their football again."

Saturday's 6-2 win over Ayr was the joint highest victory for St Mirren at the Paisley 2021 Stadium since opening in 2009. Morgan believes that the side have been due a result like that and was pleased it all came together in such an important match.

I think that's probably the first game it has all come together in terms of creating chances and taking them. We create chances like that every week and maybe we've not been taking them. But when it all clicks like that we knew at one point we were going to turn a team over and luckily it was in a massive game for us. 

"It's something I've not been involved in," Morgan confessed. "We just played with a freedom, everything was clicking and we were just really ruthless. That's great for goal difference purposes because it could come down to that.

"I think everyone is really confident now. I read somewhere that over the last eight games we would be top of the league. There's confidence running through the team at the moment and we're definitely confident we can get ourselves out of this."

Gary MacKenzie: We want to be ruthless

Gary MacKenzie says he wants to see St Mirren continue to be ruthless on the back of Saturday's win over Ayr United.

The Buddies were 4-0 ahead with just 36 minutes on the clock before going on to defeat the Honest Men 6-2 in Paisley at the weekend with the defender netting Saints' second.

He was speaking to stmirren.com in the aftermath of that victory and believes that the side need to try to be as relentless as they were on Saturday as it could be crucial come the end of the season.

And the 30 year-old also thinks that teams still to play at the Paisley 2021 Stadium this season will come up against a team with a lot of confidence.

You can see how tight it is," he said of the teams involved at the bottom. "It could go down to goal difference so it's important that we are ruthless and put teams to the sword.

"You don't want to go two or three up and then keep the ball and make it easy for them. We want to give them hell for 90 minutes, put them under pressure and other teams looking at it will start questioning whether they fancy coming here.

"I think the way we played, the way we started the game, the intensity in which we pressed forced them into mistakes and we were ruthless. That's what the gaffer was stressing before the game - to play with the high intensity and also when the chances come along be ruthless and I think we did that. The only disappointment was conceding the goals but I think if you offered us 6-2 before the game we'd have bitten your hand off for it so I think it was a good day."

"Over the past few months there have been games we've played really well and maybe ended up with a draw purely because we've not been taking the chances that have come our way. But I think we done that. When the chances were there we did take them.

"The confidence going through the team, although we were disappointed to lose the final last week, there's a huge belief amongst the team and a togetherness and that showed on the pitch. 

"I said after the game that this game was a bigger game than last weekend and it was important that we didn't get too down about losing the final and we got on with our main job which is getting this club to safety. I don't think we could ask for more in terms of effort and obviously the quality was there as well."

All focus for the Saints turns to this Saturday's match with Dumbarton making the journey across the Erskine Bridge to take on Jack Ross' side. While it is another vital match for the side, MacKenzie feels the team are used to the expectation placed on them.

We've been playing in high pressure games for the last three months and it seems to be that every game is a must win and we've been going out and doing the business," he said.

"With Hibs and Dundee United, Queen of the South and teams like that where you are going and having to win, we've stood up and we've done it.

"It says a lot about the boys; the character, the mentality and also the quality we have in the team. A bit of belief goes a long way and I think that's the difference now. We believe that we're a better team than we should be and we are striving under the pressure. We've showed that we can stand up and we're not going to go down without a fight.

"We know where we are and there's a huge amount of belief in our team. It was a really good day and we'll take that into the game on Saturday. 

MacKenzie shrugged off Conrad Balatoni to head home Stevie Mallan's free kick to score his third goal for St Mirren and put the Buddies 2-0 in front with 20 minutes. He was pleased to get his reward after feeling he should've scored in the last few weeks.

I felt I should've scored in the last two games. You just need to try and keep getting yourself in the positions. It was a good goal, a good ball by Stevie, so I'm delighted to score again."
