Highest ever attendance rates since SMiSA Stadium opened

On Christmas Eve 2022, we had a match to remember with St Mirren’s 3-1 victory over Aberdeen, which played out in front of one of the largest crowds ever recorded at SMiSA Stadium since it opened over a decade ago.

The momentum has swept into the new year with the St Mirren v Hearts match also smashing records to rank in the club’s list of top attendance figures.

Chief Operating Officer Keith Lasley said: "With your continued dedication and support, St Mirren’s SMiSA Stadium will achieve the highest average attendance in a season. The stadium has become a fortress with supporters showing up in thousands, that support will help the drive forward throughout the rest of the season."

One way of making sure you are able to watch the St Mirren is by purchasing a half season ticket, which is the best way to support us reaching this target and the only way to guarantee you can attend the upcoming games.

St Mirren’s SMiSA Stadium has stood tall in trying times, acting as a base for many local initiatives and working alongside partner, Kibble to offer food drives and the set-up of a warmbank. The SMiSA Stadium was purpose-built for community, for you, and it has been heart-warming to see fans unite, fill the stands, and celebrate.

Half-season tickets have been reduced in price following our home matches against Aberdeen and Hearts. 

It's Friday night football for Saints this weekend as we take on Hearts for the second time in a week. 

Saints were originally scheduled to face the Jambos at Tynecastle in September, but that was postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II. 

The Buddies unbeaten run was extended to six matches following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Hearts at the SMiSA Stadium. Ryan Strain's early goal gave Stephen Robinson's men the lead, but Robert Snodgrass scored with a cross that evaded everyone in the box and found the net to grab a share of the spoils. 

Both sides are now unbeaten in their last six matches.

Previous

Last weekend's 1-1 draw at the SMiSA Stadium was the first time the two sides have squared off this season. 

Friday night will be our first trip to Tynecastle since our Scottish Cup quarter-final in March. Hearts took a 2-0 lead at Tynecastle, but a strike from Eamonn Brophy and our 2021/22 goal of the season from Connor Ronan brought Saints level. Ultimately, Hearts would go on to win 4-2.

The officials

The referee on Friday night is David Munro. He'll be assisted by Drew Kirkland and Andy Milne, while Graham Beaton is fourth official.

The Virtual Assistant Referee (VAR) is Graham Grainger with Graeme Leslie the Assistant VAR. 

A number of our younger players are currently out on loan at clubs across Scotland. Here's a look at how some of them got on at the weekend. 

Jay Henderson scored his first goal for Inverness Caledonian Thistle in just his second appearance for the Highland side. After helping Billy Dodds' side to a 6-1 win over Cove Rangers on his debut last Monday, Jay scored the second goal in Inverness' 4-1 victory away to Arbroath on Saturday. Those wins have boosted the Caley Jags' play-off hopes as they sit four points off fourth place Partick Thistle with a game in hand. 

Kieran Offord was an unused substitute for Alloa Athletic in their 2-1 win over Queen of the South. The forward had played 64 minutes the week previous when Brian Rice's side drew 0-0 with Kelty Hearts. The Wasps sit joint fourth with Airdrieonians in cinch League One. 

Speaking of Aidrieonians, Dean McMaster was also an unused substitute for the Diamond in their 3-0 win over Peterhead at Balmoor Stadium on Saturday. Lewis Jamieson missed out due to injury. 

Ewan Thomson and Aiden Gilmartin missed out on action on Saturday as Cowdenbeath's match against Dalbeattie Star was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

As part of extending our offering to fans we recently announced our plan to instal Executive Boxes at the SMISA Stadium.

Unfortunately, the detailed costings for the planned approach came in at almost double that first indicated. As such the Club Board has reluctantly decided to shelve the plans for now and investigate alternative options.

We will update fans in due course and thank everyone who has been involved in the project to date.
