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.

Mallan: Excited for TNS

Stephen Mallan says he can't wait to face The New Saints in the IRN-BRU Cup semi-final on Sunday.

The Buddies take on the Welsh side after seeing off Albion Rovers, Hibernian and Ayr United to make the last four. 

And Mallan, who has scored twice in the IRN-BRU Cup this season, is looking forward to testing himself against opposition he has never faced before.

It's obviously exciting," he said. "I'm looking forward to it and it's just another challenge playing against a different team from a different country. 

We've got the chance to get into a final. No matter what competition it is you want to get to the final and the boys will be looking to give the fans something to cheer about."

Saints come into Sunday's match off the back of a 3-2 win over East Fife in the Scottish Cup - a win that sets up a quarter final encounter with Celtic at Celtic Park. Mallan admitted that he and his team mates also can't wait for that match.

I'm looking forward to it and I'm sure the other boys are as well," he said. "As a kid you want to play in the biggest stadiums in the world and I'd say Celtic Park is up there.

"Everyone is going to be watching the game so you want to go and do well. If you're going to play Celtic at Celtic Park you want to be in the starting eleven so I think all the boys will be fighting for places in the next couple of weeks for the league and cup games." 

The midfielder realises the challenge at hand taking on Brendan Rodgers' side, but believe Saints should take inspiration from the Buddies run to the League Cup final in 2013.

If we're going to try and win the cup then Celtic are the team to beat. They're the favourites and we'd need to beat them at some point. When St Mirren won the League Cup a few years ago we had to beat Celtic in the semi-final."

 

St Mirren U20s 4-3 Kilmarnock U20s

A late Conor O'Keefe goal sealed a thrilling 4-3 win for the St Mirren U20s over Kilmarnock last night at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.

The young Buds were 2-0 ahead on the half hour mark after goals from Josh Todd and Ryan Watters. Kilmarnock levelled the scores soon after before taking the lead half way through the second half. But Saints weren't to be beaten as O'Keefe scored twice to win the game. 

It was Todd who put Saints ahead as he slipped the ball under the legs of the goalkeeper on 20 minutes after being played through by Kalvin Orsi.

Then, 10 minutes later, O'Keefe was bundled over in the box with the referee pointing to the penalty spot. Watters stepped up and tucked the ball into the corner of the net to double the advantage. 

But just six minutes later the visitors were back on level terms. Jack Paterson pulled their first goal back with a tidy finish from the edge of the box before Killie levelled after a lightening quick break from a Saints corner. 

And they could have been mere moments later when a wicked swerving effort from Adam Frizzell was superbly pushed over the bar by Chris Henry. 

Kilmarnock started the brighter in the second half and were ahead on 66 minutes through Frizzell, who slid in to knock a cross from the left into the net. 

But like Saints lead would only last six minutes, the Killie's only lasted three when O'Keefe lobbed the goalkeeper from narrow angle on the right side. 

With time ticking away a draw looked certain, only for O'Keefe to break through and lob the keeper for a second time with 94 minutes on the clock to secure three points in the most dramatic of circumstances.

The current standings in the SPFL Development League are available here.

Lewis Morgan: I wanted to make an impact

Lewis Morgan admitted he was delighted to help Saints secure their place in the Scottish Cup quarter-finals with a 3-2 win over East Fife.

The 20 year-old climbed off the bench as a second half substitute to score twice as he helped send the Buddies through to the last eight, with a showdown against Brendan Rodgers' unbeaten Celtic on the cards. 

But the winger confessed he was just pleased that the team progressed to the next round rather than take the plaudits for his two strikes.

Yeah it was brilliant, especially at such a hard venue," he told stmirren.com. "I was disappointed not to start but maybe I needed that wee rest and to get that appetite back. The boys put such a massive effort into the game and I'm just happy that we've got into the next round, that's the most important thing. 

"When you're on the bench you want to come on and make an impact and try to get back in the team. I'm just disappointed I didn't get a third. I had a chance to get a hat-trick which would have topped it off. But I just wanted to make an impact when I came on to show why I feel like I should be playing."

And make an impact he did as Morgan's brief cameo earned him the official man of the match award. But he believed that it could have been given to anyone in the team on Saturday.

I thought I did well, but it's the impact of the two goals that got me it. It could have gone to anyone out there because it wasn't a great game to play in. There were lots of good performances in what were difficult conditions. 

"It was very difficult, trying to judge the flight of the ball and the pitch was quite hard as well. But all that matters is that we managed it in the end and got through what was a very difficult cup tie."

While speaking before the draw was made yesterday, Lewis said that he wasn't fussed who the Saints drew in the next round.

We are in it to win it. We're not in it to take part. We're two games away from a final which would be massive for our season."

 

Fans raise money for veterans

St Mirren Football Club recently received a letter from the Erskine Care Home for veterans thanking supporters for their efforts in donating to a bucket collection.

The collection, organised by the St Mirren Fans Council, took place at the Paisley 2021 Stadium ahead of the match against Dunfermline on the 19th of November 2016 and raised £127.23 for the charity.

In a letter addressed to the club, Morgan Dorrian of Erskine said: "On behalf of everyone at Erskine, thank you all at St Mirren Football Club for allowing us to hold our recent bucket collection which raised £127.23 - not bad for such a cold night!

"Every donation we receive helps us to continue to care for around 1,000 veterans and their spouses each year across our four homes. Your generosity makes a huge difference and ensures that we can provide a broad range of support and activities that enrich our veterans' lives." 

The club would like to thank all the fans who donated and the St Mirren Fans Council who helped organise the collection.
