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.

Manager in praise of Alex Greive after his first goal secures win

I thought he was different class. I don't like singling out any individuals because it really is a team game, but Alex shaded man of the match for me."

Jim Goodwin was full of praise for Alex Greive after the New Zealand striker scored his first goal for Saints.

Alex Greive's first St Mirren goal gives Paisley Saints the win


St Mirren move into top half of the cinch Premiership after narrow win.

 

Alex Greive scored his first St Mirren goal to give Saints all the points.

The Perth Saints had taken the lead when Callum Hendry scored a penalty kick. Jim Goodwin's side were level before half-time thanks to a penalty from Connor Ronan - his sixth goal of the season. New Zealand forward Greive netted from close range to secure the points for the Paisley Saints.

The Buddies started well with three decent opportunities in the opening 10 minutes. Good footwork from Greive saw the striker drag the ball away from Liam Gordon before having his effort deflected wide. Two minutes later Greg Kiltie dragged a shot inches by the left-hand post. Jordan Jones - searching for his first St Mirren goal - was next to go close with St Johnstone goalkeeper Zander Clark getting two hands on his strike to turn it away. 

The best of the chances came on 14 minutes when Jones' super delivery met the head of Kiltie just a few yards out. The midfielder was on the stretch and headed wide. 

The visitors grew into the game after a good start from Jim Goodwin's men. Jak Alnwick was forced into his first save of the match as he had to be alert to palm Ali Crawford's long-range effort over on 15 minutes. The Buddies goalkeeper was made to work again five minutes later when he got two strong hands on Cammy MacPherson's curling effort from 20 yards. 

St Johnstone took the lead just before the half-hour mark when Callum Hendry scored from the penalty spot. Saints could have no complaints about the decision as Marcus Fraser dragged Glenn Middleton down in the box. Hendry netted but was forced to re-take. He made no mistake with the second attempt either to put the Perth side ahead. 

Ex-Saint MacPherson almost doubled the visitors' lead on 38 minutes when he forced a terrific save from Alnwick.

Saints were awarded their own penalty kick when Greive went down under the challenge from Jamie McCart. Ronan sent Clark the wrong way to score his third goal in four and draw the Buddies level.

Jim Goodwin's side were ahead just four minutes into the second-half when Greive scored his first goal in the black and white. The New Zealander was on hand to sweep home Kiltie's ball to the far post to put the Saints in-front.

Charlie Gilmour fired just wide from 20 yards with 15 minutes remaining as St Johnstone searched for an equaliser. But it was the Paisley Saints who had the best chance to score the final goal of the game in injury time. A quick break saw Greive lay the ball to Kiltie who smashed high and wide from just inside the box. 

Two goals were enough as Jim Goodwin's men made it four wins from five in the cinch Premiership and move into the top half of the table.

Eamonn Brophy injury update

Eamonn Brophy could be out for up to four weeks after suffering an ankle ligament in last week's match against Motherwell. 

Speaking to the press this afternoon, St Mirren manager Jim Goodwin admitted the injury doesn't appear as bad as was initially thought. 

We've had some positive feedback from the specialist yesterday.

"The MRI scan initially was a wee bit concerning, but it looks like it won't be as long as first feared.

"We're hoping it's only going to be three to four weeks as opposed to eight weeks which was first feared initially.

"We'll try and rush him as much as we can while at the same time being fair to him and making sure he's OK to come back in. 

"It is pleasing. We're a little light at the top of the pitch at the moment."

Brophy picked up his injury in our 1-1 draw against Motherwell last week

The Buddies will also be without Curtis Main for tomorrow night's match against St Johnstone.

The forward made his return to the side as a substitute in Saturday's win over Hibernian, but won't be available tomorrow.  

Curtis Main is struggling, he will miss tomorrow night.

"He's not long back from injury when he came on and played against Hibs on Saturday for 20 minutes.

"He didn't feel right yesterday so tomorrow will be too soon. I imagine he'll be available for the weekend."

More than 250 young people spend the festive break with Street Stuff


More than 250 young people attend Street Stuff's festive programme

Activities take place four nights per week over three-week break with young people offered free meal

Street Stuff’s festive programme attracted more than 250 young people over the festive break, with free activities taking place in communities across Renfrewshire.

Young people attending the activities, delivered four nights per week during the three-week break, were also offered a free meal to ensure they were fuelled up and ready to go.

Councillor Marie McGurk, Convenor of Renfrewshire Council’s Communities, Housing and Planning Policy Board, said: "It’s fantastic to see so many young people taking part in Street Stuff.

"The holiday programmes are so important as it gives young people an opportunity to take part in sport and exercise, and to socialise with their peers in a safe and fun environment.

"Thank you to all coaches and volunteers who continue to make a difference to the lives of young people through Street Stuff."

Staff and volunteers were on hand at all the activities to spread some festive cheer, handing out gift cards and selection boxes to those taking part.

Street Stuff is a diversionary project run in partnership between Renfrewshire Council, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Engage Renfrewshire and St Mirren Football Club.

The programme began in 2009 in Renfrewshire contributing to a reduction in youth disorder and anti-social behaviour by 75 percent over the first five years with a sustained reduction of 65 percent.

The programme runs six days a week, all-year-round, at venues across Renfrewshire and young people aged 8 to 16 are encouraged to turn up and take part for free.

For more information, visit www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/streetstuff or follow @SMFCStreetStuff on Facebook and Twitter.

Pitch encroachment at the SMiSA Stadium

The club is currently looking into the pitch encroachment at the SMiSA Stadium during last Tuesday night’s match against Motherwell.

The incident occurred late on in the match with a section of both supports entering the field of play.

Fans are reminded that encroachment on the pitch or trackside is not permitted at any time, before, during or after the game. This is for the safety of both sets of players and supporters of all ages inside the stadium. This has been heightened by the introduction of match day red zones which are in place to mitigate against the risk of Covid-19 spread.

Encroachment is in breach of the ground regulations and therefore an arrestable offence which could lead to a football banning order as well as an indefinite club ban.
