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.

    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.

Stephen McGinn looking forward to being back at home

St Mirren skipper Stephen McGinn says the Buddies are looking forward to being back at the Simple Digital Arena as they aim to bounce back from Saturday's disappointing 5-2 loss away to Hearts.

While Saints aren't in action this weekend due to the international break, they'll face two home games in the space of four days when Ross County and Hibernian visit Paisley in a little over a week's time.

And coming off the back of three away losses in a row, Stephen believes it will be a welcome relief being back at home where the Buddies have only lost one game and one goal all season.

It’ll be nice to be back home," Stephen told stmirren.com.

"Our away record is not good and it’s something we really need to address, but we like playing at home. We are good at home and with back-to-back home games coming up we need to put points together and good performances.

"Everyone in that dressing room is desperate to get Saturday out of our system.

"St Mirren Park always has to be a fortress and I feel it is always a hard place for teams to go to. It’s something we are proud of and something we want to continue. We don’t want Ross County to come down next week and enjoy coming to Paisley.

"We’ll approach it as we do every game and try to win the game. But there’s probably an added significance with the three losses we’ve just had away from home.

"It’s not nice when you look at the table and it’s not nice when people ask how you are doing and you have to tell them we are bottom of the league, but I don’t feel like we are the worst team in the league.

"We’ve got a game in hand, we’ve got games coming up thick and fast over the Christmas period and we want to try to put results together. If we can we’ll quickly find ourselves where we feel we should be."

The Buddies have been praised for a defensive record that, prior to Saturday's match against Hearts, was only bettered by first and second placed Celtic and Rangers. 

Saints had only conceded 11 goals in their opening nine league matches, but were left shocked as they conceded five at Tynecastle on Saturday.

Stephen admits it was disappointing and the players have to prove it was a one-off. 

We want to make sure that was just a blip and it won't ever happen again," he said.

"It was strange because at half-time we are well in the game and at times we were pretty comfortable at a difficult venue but we were losing 3-2. We have not lost goals like that all season so it was a bit of a shell-shocked dressing room at half-time. 

"We have taken a lot of credit as a team for our defensive record and we are gutted to have lost so many goals, especially the manner of the goals. There were some really poor goals we lost, uncharacteristic goals.

"We lost the third and fourth goals at terrible times and ultimately it cost us the game.

"The one right before half-time we were really disappointed with and then 30 seconds into the second-half you are 4-2 down and the reaction after that wasn't great. It turned out to be a really disappointing day.

"We have to make sure it doesn’t happen again and react better. Goals are so hard to come by in this league that we can’t afford to give them away at the other end."

The captain admitted he can understand fans frustrations as the Buddies find themselves at the bottom of the league.

But he emphasised their importance and knows Saints can count on their backing.

The fans will stick with us," he said.

"If ever a group of fans were going to turn on a team it was last year and they didn’t. They stuck with us right to the end and we both got our rewards together.

"They were brilliant again on Saturday and they have been brilliant in my whole time at the club.

"I’ve no doubt that they will stick with us and when Ross County come to our place a week on Saturday the place will be rocking and they’ll get behind us like every other Saturday."

Saturday's match away to Hearts saw Stephen made his 198th appearance in the black and white of St Mirren.

The skipper says he's been aware of being close to the 200 mark and given his affinity for the club he's full of pride as he approaches the milestone.

It’s something I’m really proud of," he confessed. 

"When I was a young player in the youth team here I was just dying to get one game and then you are dying to get two games so to get to 200 at this club means a lot to me and it will be great to finally hit that mark.

"The last two and a half years have been amazing," he continued.

"There have been low times but I have loved every minute since I have come back. People say don’t go back but I couldn’t disagree more. It’s a place I know well and it means a lot to me.  Every win feels twice as good because it’s here and all the memories I am now wracking up here.

"On a personal level reaching 200 games for this club is something I’m really proud of."
