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.

Match Report: St Mirren 2-1 Ross County

A stunning late goal saw Saints end their losing run and take a valuable three points against Ross County.

The visitors took the lead midway through the first half, Brian Graham finding the net with a fine strike from the edge of the box. There was little sign of Saints drawing themselves level before the break but an unlikely source provided the equaliser, Sean McLoughlin bagging his first Buddies goal after a bit of chaos in the penalty box.

It looked as if they game would end in a draw before some late drama at both ends. First, County's Lee Erwin saw a header cleared off the line by McLoughlin, then Sam Foley bagged a fantastic winner, thumping home his first goal in the stripes after great work by Tony Andreu.

The Frenchman found himself on the bench as Saints boss Jim Goodwin shuffled his pack, Stephen McGinn also among the subs with Ryan Flynn and Ilkay Durmus starting. There was also a change at the back as Gary MacKenzie took over from the injured Kirk Broadfoot, with fit again pair Kyle McAllister and Cody Cooke on the bench. Former Buddies Sean Kelly and Ross Stewart started for the Staggies.

Durmus volleyed wide early on when County could only clear a free-kick as far as the edge of the box and Saints continued to force set-pieces but looked fragile on the break, Josh Mullin curling a shot into the arms of Vaclav Hladky. The next Buddies corner provided a chance at the right end as again County didn't properly clear their lines, Kyle Magennis' dipping shot going narrowly over the bar.

Staggies goalie Nathan Baxter had had a quiet opening quarter but should have been tested by Jon Obika after Foley released him on the right. He got the better of Liam Fontaine to force an opening only to blaze his effort over the bar. It was to prove a costly miss as a few minutes later the visitors took the lead, Graham exchanging passes with Billy McKay before working himself some space at the edge of the area and poking a shot beyond Hladky.

Flynn drilled a low shot straight at Baxter as Saints looked for an equaliser but they nearly fell further behind when McKay got in behind the home defence, Hladky getting his fingertips to his shot. It looked as if the visitors would hold their lead at the break before the Buddies finally made one of their numerous corners count. The initial delivery was cleared and when it was played back in there was a bit of a scramble with bodies everywhere, Flynn clearly being fouled as he tried to force the ball home. It looked like ref Euan Anderson was going to award a penalty but the ball trundled to McLoughlin and he stabbed it past Baxter to level things up.

The turnaround should have been completed early in the second half when Obika got the better of his man but the shot meekly at Baxter. He then teed up Durmus, whose shot deflected off Morris and didn't fly far wide with the visiting goalie stranded, before Mullen smashed a chance over the bar when passing to Flynn in the middle would perhaps have been the better option. That was the striker's last involvement as he was replaced by Andreu before play resumed.

The Saints fans were screaming for Callum Morris to be sent off when he brought down Obika near the half way line with no one else between the striker and goalie Baxter, however ref Mr Anderson felt a yellow card was sufficient punishment.

The County defence were struggling to deal with the bustling frontman, Fontaine the next to be booked for hauling Obika down as he burst through on goal. The Buddies were on top and when Obika knocked the ball to Flynn at a corner, he danced past a couple of challenges before squaring for Durmus who completely missed the ball as he tried to thump it into the net.

County had barely looked like scoring since the break but they suddenly stepped things up in the last 10 minutes and thought they'd snatched a winner. Blair Spittal picked out fellow sub Lee Erwin at the back post and he headed the ball back across goal past Hladky, only for McLoughlin to hack it away just before it crossed the line.

Had it gone in, it would have been cruel on Saints as they had been far the better side in the second half and deserved the winner that a couple of minutes from the end.

McAllister flicked the ball on to Andreu to burst forward and as things opened up in front of him he laid it off to Foley at the edge of the box who gave Baxter no chance as he thumped a shot into the roof of the net.

There could be few complaints about Saints going in front and they comfortably saw out four minutes of stoppage time to move off the bottom of the Premiership.

Match Preview: St Mirren v Ross County (23rd Nov)

St Mirren are back in action at the Simple Digital Arena on Saturday for the first time in over a month as we play host to Ross County.

FORM

St Mirren - LLLWLD

Ross County - LDLDLD

St Mirren return from the last international break of 2019 to face Ross County in our first home match since beating St Johnstone 2-0 on October 19th. 

Jon Obika and Danny Mullen scored their first league goals of the season as the Buddies came out on top in the battle of the Saints last month.

Since then, the Buddies have faced three away trips - losing to Kilmarnock (0-1), Celtic (0-2) and Hearts (2-5). 

While the away form has been a source of frustration for Saints, the home form has been good this season with two wins, two draws and one defeat from our first five home league matches of the season.

Indeed, the Buddies have only lost two home league matches since the end of March - 2-0 to Celtic in April and 1-0 to Rangers in August. 

Ross County come into tomorrow's match in sixth place in the league with 14 points, but Stuart Kettlewell and Steven Ferguson's side have failed to win in their last seven matches.

The last time the Staggies took three points was during a trip to Motherwell in September where goals from Brian Graham and Ross Stewart saw them win 2-1 at Fir Park.

PREVIOUS

An injury time goal from Marcus Fraser gave Ross County all three points when both sides met in Dingwall in the Ladbrokes Premiership in September.

It was a frustrating and controversial afternoon for Saints who had a Jon Obika goal ruled out for offside in the first half despite replays showing the striker was onside. 

Tony Andreu's first St Mirren goal had gotten the Buddies level after ex-Saint Ross Stewart had given the Staggies a second-half lead. But with the last kick of the match County captain Fraser ensured the points stayed in Dingwall.

County were also victorious the last time they visited Paisley - in April 2015 - with Liam Boyce's hat-trick giving them a vital 3-0 win as they went on to escape relegation.

Saints have won in two of their last three visits to Dingwall, but the last home win over County was in May 2014 when Gregg Wylde's goal saw the Buddies win 1-0.

The Buddies have taken on Ross County 17 times at home since their first meeting at the turn of the century. In those 17 matches, Saints have defeated the Highland side nine times, drawn five and lost just three. 

TEAM NEWS

Cody Cooke is back fit after a long-spell on the sideline and could be named in the squad while Kyle McAllister is also in contention after missing Saints' last five league matches. 

Kirk Broadfoot will miss out after injuring his foot in the Buddies loss to Hearts before the international break. 

MANAGER'S THOUGHTS

"I played against County last year in the Championship with Alloa. They were building a team that was going to be capable of competing in the Premiership so it hasn't surprised me the points they have picked up. 

"They have some very good attacking players with good experience in there. Billy McKay is proven at this level, so is Michael Gardyne and Ross Stewart has taken a lot of plaudits as well.

"We have to be at it defensively and if we are not those players can hurt you. But we believe that we have got players up the other end that can cause Ross County problems and hopefully that will make for an entertaining game."
