The St Mirren Fans Council Panda Club is back for this Saturday's match against Hamilton Accies.

The St Mirren Fans Council Panda Club is held within the Airdome two hours prior to kick off at every home game on a Saturday or Sunday, with exception of matches against Celtic and Rangers.

Our great team of friendly coaches take the kids, aged between 3-12 years, for fun, games & tournaments with prizes and surprises aplenty!

Paisley Panda is pleased to confirm that ‘First Scorer’ will be back for the game on Saturday against Hamilton.

‘First Scorer’ lets fans predict in advance of the game who they think will score St Mirren's first goal in Saturday's match against the Accies.

From all of those who guess correctly, a winner will be picked at random and they will win a box of a dozen doughnuts which will be delivered to their seat right after the goal is scored!

To enter all you have to do ahead of the game is post your prediction of the first St Mirren scorer on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #Saints1stgoal. The lucky winner will then be contacted to confirm which stand they will be in with the row and seat number so that the prize can be delivered to them.

Our match day entertainment returns again this Saturday ahead of St Mirren's Ladbrokes Premiership match against Hamilton Academical at the Simple Digital Arena.

A bucket collection at the Simple Digital Arena before our match against Rangers at the end of August saw supporters raise £522.66 for the Scottish Cot Death Trust. 

Sudden and Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) sadly takes the life of one baby or young child every nine days in Scotland.

The Scottish Cot Death Trust is the only Scottish charity dedicated to raising awareness & educating parents and professionals, funding research and supporting families devastated by the loss of a child, suddenly and unexpectedly.

With just six members of staff and a handful of regular volunteers, Scottish Cot Death Trust wouldn't be able to carry on without the support of fundraisers like these so your support is greatly appreciated.

If you would like more information about the work supporters have helped to fund, please get in touch by calling 0141-357-3964 or email fundraising@scottishcotdeathtrust.org. 

St Mirren supporters are organising a foodbank collection on Saturday 21st September at the Simple Digital Arena prior to our match against Hamilton.

Prior to the match we would ask that you bring any of the listed items below that the Renfrewshire food bank so desperately needs and deposit them in the bins provided at each stand.

UHT Milk
Fruit juice (long life carton)
Cereals
Jam
Tinned fruit
Tinned tomatoes
Tinned vegetables
Tinned potatoes
Tinned soup
Tinned meat
Tinned custard/rice pudding
Tinned sponge pudding
Tea bags/instant coffee (small)
Dried rice
Pasta sauces
Biscuits/chocolate/sweets/crisps
Toiletries/Household cleaning
Strong bags

All the donated items will be uplifted and distributed to those most in need. We thank you for your support in helping with this appeal.

An event by the fans for the fans!

Supporters Direct Scotland has launched its Scottish Football Supporters Survey for season 2019/20 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.

Last year's survey helped to drive change, focussing on the three big themes of "Value For Money", "Fan Engagement" and "The Supporter Experience". These priorities are shared by supporters, clubs, and the Scottish FA and SPFL, and we have already seen progress in each of these areas. Progress and improvement will be tracked and supported by the three partner organisations, with this survey forming an integral part of a three-year benchmarking study which began last season.

You can read more about the results of the 2018/19 survey by visiting www.scottishsupporters.net.

This year’s findings will be reviewed by Supporters’ Direct Scotland, SPFL, the Scottish FA and communicated to all SPFL clubs together with insights for further improvement.

You can participate in the survey by clicking this link.

This season’s survey will run for three weeks closing on Sunday 15th September.

A recent bucket collection at the Simple Digital Arena helped raise £295.72 for the Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS). 

Supporters dug deep before the recent home match against Aberdeen, with generous home and away fans donating their change to support the group.

CHAS Community Fundraiser Maxine Campbell sent the club a letter thanking us for the support saying: "Thank you for giving us the opportunity to hold a bucket collection before your home game vs Aberdeen on Sunday 11th August. 

"We raised an incredible £295.72. This allows us to continue creating special and happy memories for children and families across Scotland.

"Your continued support means so much to us and we are grateful that you have chosen to support CHAS once again."

St Mirren Football Club would like to send it thanks to all the fans who showed their support.
