Paisley Panda will once again be hosting the ever-popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’ at tonights match against Dundee United.

To take part in ‘Bung a Baw’ fans need to purchase a small foam ball which is numbered and they will then have a chance to throw their ball towards our club mascot Paisley Panda in front of the Family Stand. Each person will have 60 seconds to do this and the winner will be the person who has thrown the ball closest to the feet of the Panda. The winner will be confirmed over the PA system.

The competition is sponsored by The Linwood Farm Restaurant who are supplying a family meal voucher as the prize for the contest winner.

Each ball will cost £1 to buy. The balls will be available from sellers inside the Family Stand in the 30 minutes leading up to kick-off and then again in the first 5 minutes of half-time before the competition starts (subject to availability). Each ball is numbered and participants will also get a ticket with the corresponding number which they will use to claim the prize if they win.

‘Bung a Baw’ continues to be very popular so Paisley Panda advises that you get in early tonight to purchase your ball to take part.

As well as taking care of ‘Bung a Baw’ Paisley Panda will be giving away sweets to the kids in and around the stadium courtesy of the Black and White Army website.

Paisley Panda has also teamed up with the St Mirren Club Shop so you will be able to buy hats and scarves for the game from the 'Bung a Baw' stands.

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

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

From all of those who guessed 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.

UNDER 12s can go free to all SPFL Championship matches during the two weekends of the Premiership winter break next month in an initiative supported by all 10 second-tier clubs.

Children under the age of 12 will be permitted free admission to any of the 10 games played in the Ladbrokes Championship on January 6 and January 13 if they are accompanied by a paying adult.

The move is aimed at encouraging families to get along to a match, even if their favourite top-tier side is not in action.

Games on January 6 include Livingston versus Queen of the South, Dumbarton against Dunfermline Athletic and St Mirren versus Inverness Caledonian Thistle, while on January 13 Dunfermline are at home to Dundee United, Morton take on Falkirk and Brechin City host Livingston.

SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said: “Football goes on even during the Ladbrokes Premiership winter break and I commend the Ladbrokes Championship clubs for coming up with this welcome initiative.

“Hopefully many supporters will take the chance to get out to a match next month, with free admission for under-12s making it more affordable for families to attend together.”

Falkirk director Martin Ritchie, one of two Championship representatives on the SPFL Board, added: “With no Premiership fixtures in early January the spotlight will fall on the Ladbrokes Championship for a few weeks.

“We hope that this offer will encourage fans to take in a game, even if they haven’t been for a while. Matches in this league tend to be exciting and entertaining, and hopefully people, especially families, will take the opportunity to discover that for themselves next month.”

The Burns Supper will take place at the Corporate Suite at the Paisley 2021 Stadium and is scheduled for Friday 23rd February 2018 - timed to avoid the height of the Burns Season making it even easier to attend!

The evening will be rich in the traditions of Burns with recitations and music of the highest quality. And, as Paisley is home to Robert Tannahill, they'll be adding a Touch o' Tannahill to the proceedings.

Black and White Magazine's Gordian Mothersole will host an evening that will see folk singer, Burns aficionado and national treasure, Alastair McDonald provide Burns song and verse.

Alastair will be joined by David Brown whose Tam o' Shanter and Holy Willie's Prayer will take you back in time.

Other speakers already booked include George Adam MSP, Chair o' SMiSA, Ian Brown, so much a St Mirren fan he bleeds black and white, and Michelle Evans of PFA Scotland.

Entry is by ticket only. Tickets are priced at £40 and can be purchased online or at the stadium reception.
