Season 2021/22
Like all St Mirren fans, I am looking forward to the new season beginning. There is no better build up than to watch the European Championship and see a player like John McGinn, who developed his skills at our Academy and Club, play on the national stage. The Euros show yet again a visible pathway to our current group of players, showing them what is achievable in their careers.
The fixtures released today have given us the opportunity to be brave and hit the ground running in our quest to build on last year’s excellent season and achieve our ambitions. I do not shy away from the fact I believe we are a top 6 club, and this is once again our motivation for the coming season. The Saints will hopefully take our excellent cup form from last year and go to the next level by bringing home silverware.
I want to extend a warm welcome to our new signings, Charles Dunne, Curtis Main, Greg Kiltie and Scott Tanser. You are now Saints and ‘in that number’ and we trust you to do the fans proud on the pitch. The ambition and backing shown to the manager are testament to the club getting it right both on and off the field.
Premier Sports Cup
Our season kicks off with an away day to Dumbarton for the first of our fixtures in the Premier Sports Cup, followed by our first home game against Dunfermline. Also, an away day to Stenhousemuir before a televised home game against Partick Thistle. As is now usual, these games will form a significant part of our preseason preparation and we are looking forward to the challenges ahead in this cup competition.
Commercial Partnership
We were delighted to welcome back to the Club, Provan Sports, a name that is well known to the St Mirren family, who will provide the club shop from the 1st July. This excellent opportunity will bring immediate financial growth which will be reinvested across all areas of the club. Our new kit will be available to purchase from the 1st July and keep your eyes on our social media channels for exciting news on our kit reveal.
Season tickets
Thank you to everyone who has contacted us to renew or buy a season ticket for season 2021/22, we continue working hard behind the scenes to bring these to you as soon as possible.
For this season we are moving to a new ticketing partner due to historic issues and fans feedback with the old ticketing system which will enhance the purchasing experience. Due to circumstances out with our control with our previous provider we have not been able to have season tickets on sale up until now. Further good news is we will be opening an online registration process at the end of this week to allow all current season ticket holders to register onto the new system. This will allow for renewals of season tickets to take place from Friday 25th June at the early bird price. We have once again frozen prices for this upcoming season and as you know all additional income raised via the season tickets will be allocated directly to the first team playing budget. Let’s break our season ticket record and ensure this helps deliver continued success.
Look out for more details on the season ticket registration tomorrow. I can’t wait to see St Mirren fans back in the stadium, backing the Saints. This upcoming season the only way to guarantee that you will be there is to buy a season ticket.
