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.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    Follow signs for Paisley & Glasgow Airport. Exit the M8 at Junction 29 (St James’ Interchange) which is just after Glasgow Airport turn off if travelling east to west. Be careful not to exit on to the A737 which is signposted for Irvine. It is best to stay in the middle lane when passing the Airport as this leads naturally to the St James’ Interchange exit.

    At the interchange take the first left onto a dual carriageway with some football parks on the left hand side. Follow this road and after a sharp right hand bend you should now be in Greenock Road. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

Match Preview: St Mirren v SK Brann (8th Aug)


St Mirren host Norwegian side SK Brann at The SMiSA Stadium in the UEFA Conference League Third Qualifying Round. 

It's the second time Saints have taken on Norwegian opposition in European competition having faced Tromso IL in 1987. A Kenny McDowall goal was enough to give us a 1-0 first leg win at Love Street in the UEFA Cup Winners Cup before a 0-0 draw in Norway saw us progress. 

Stephen Robinson's men set up Thursday night's match after an emphatic 4-1 win over Icelandic side Valur at The SMiSA Stadium last week.

The Opposition

SK Brann progressed to the Third Qualifying Round after a 2-1 aggregate win over Dutch side Go Ahead Eagles. After a 0-0 draw in the first leg, the Norwegian side had to come from behind after an early goal from Go Ahead. But goals from Bård Finne and Frederik Pallesen Knudsen saw Bergens stolthet qualify. 

Eirik Horneland's side currently sit second in Eliteserien - seven points behind leaders Bodø/Glimt. Brann have won nine and drawn six of their 18 league matches this season and come into Thursday's match on the back of a 3-2 win away to Strømgodset on Sunday. 

23-year-old forward Aune Heggebø is Brann's top scorer this season with nine goals in 24 appearances. Brann recently lost their captain Sivert Heltne Nilsen after he signed a three-year deal with Aberdeen in July but centre-half Knudsen, who scored the winner against Go Ahead Eagles, has since picked up the armband.

From the Manager | "We want to be the best version of St Mirren"

Speaking to the press ahead of Thursday night's match, manager Stephen Robinson said: "No game is a free hit.

"We want to win the game and we’ll certainly set out to win the game.

"We’ll do what we do but we want to do it better. Every time we go away to Rangers or Celtic we don’t want to change systems and play about with things, we want to be the best version of what we do.

And that’s what we need to be tomorrow: the best version of St Mirren. The best version of the team that we put out and the players we bring on.

"I believe we can get a result."

UEFA Conference League Play-Off draw

Opening day delight for Saints after big win over Hibernian


St Mirren's 2024/25 got off to the perfect start with a brilliant opening day victory over Hibernian. 

An early second-half goal from Roland Idowu was followed up by two goals in two minutes for substitute Oisin Smyth as Stephen Robinson's men won 3-0. 

The manager made two changes from the side that defeated Valur 4-1 in the UEFA Conference League on Thursday night. Captain Mark O'Hara missed out with a knock and was replaced by the returning Caolan Boyd-Munce. Scott Tanser also came in for Jaden Brown to make his first competitive start of the new season.

The Buddies had a good early opportunity when Jonah Ayunga flashed an effort just by the far post on six minutes. But in truth it was Hibernian who would have the better of the opening 45. Dylan Vente will feel he should have put the visitors ahead when he failed to get the proper connection on a ball to the back post. The Hibees forward passed up another good chance when he prodded an Obita cross wide. 

Toyosi Olusanya did brilliantly on 35 minutes to shake off a foul in the middle of the park to burst forward. He slid the ball out to Idowu who saw his strike deflected just by the post. 

Saints goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe made a brilliant save to keep the scores level heading into the half-time break. Alex Gogic sliced his attempted clearance and almost turned it into the net, but Balcombe was alert and down quickly to push away. 

The Buddies got off to the ideal start to the second-half when Idowu netted three minutes after the restart. The loanee played a nice one-two with half-time substitute Jaden Brown before making his way into the box. He cut by Nathan Moriah-Welsh and fired a beautiful strike into the far corner of the net.

A lengthy delay ensued shortly after the goal when VAR became non-operational. VAR would become partially operational around 10 minutes later after Saints had introduced Mikael Mandron and James Scott in place of Ayunga and Toyosi Olusanya.

Hibernian passed up a huge chance to equalise on 74 minutes when Richard Taylor misjudged the flight of the ball which allowed Martin Boyle to get in behind the Saints defence. The Australian international's shot at Balcombe was weak though and the Buddies managed to get clear. Just a minute later, Saints almost killed the game off when Idowu was agonisingly close to scoring his second with a similar strike to his first. This time, on his left foot, Idowu cracked his effort off the post and substitute Smyth knocked over on the follow up. 

Smyth wouldn't have to wait too long to make amends when he headed home our second. It was great work from James Scott who slid in to steal a poor back pass from Ekpiteta before sending back in to the area for Smyth to head into the net. The midfielder scored just a minute later to extend our advantage when he was once again the recipient of a Scott assist. Smyth swept home the forward's perfect pick out to ensure a brilliant opening day win at The SMiSA Stadium.
