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 1-2 Motherwell

St Mirren were edged out by Motherwell at the Simple Digital Arena this evening.

Well took an early lead thanks to a sensational goal from from in-form Jake Hastie. But the Buddies got themselves level through Paul McGinn late in the second half. However, just a few minutes later, the Steelmen grabbed all three points when Allan Campbell popped up with a header.

Saints were given an early warning when Curtis Main broke the offside trap to get in ahead of the St Mirren defence only to be foiled by a good save from Buddies goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky. 

But only two minutes later the visitors were ahead. There was only 10 minutes on the clock when Well went in front thanks to a stunning strike from Jake Hastie. The midfielder cut in from the right and rifled his effort from the edge of the area that cracked in off the bar. 

Oran Kearney reacted by making an early change of shape with Kyle McAllister coming on to replace Jack Baird.

Saints went from a 3-4-1-2 to a 4-4-2 and it almost immediately paid dividends. The Buddies had two great chances to level within the space of a minute. 

First, a break of the ball saw Anders Dreyer find a bit of space and the winger hit a snapshot toward goal with only a terrific Mark Gillespie save denying the Dane. 

Dreyer then turned provider a minute later with a neat piece of skill near the touchline allowing him to roll the ball across the box into the path of McAllister who blazed over. 

Saints had another few opportunities before the interval with Mihai Popescu heading into the arms of Gillespie on the half hour mark, while Brad Lyons also tested the goalkeeper from range on 44 minutes.

Motherwell could have doubled their advantage near the hour mark after a counter attack saw Hastie break into the box and cut ball across for Main. The striker got a toe to it as he tried to force home but Kyle McAllister managed to clear. 

Main went close again on two more occasions, flashing an effort just by the post from a tight angle before having another attempt deflected over the bar by Popescu. 

But with just over 15 minutes to go, Saints grabbed a leveller. A Dreyer corner was punched clear by Gillespie but only as far as the Danish winger. Dreyer pinged the ball in again where it met the head of Paul McGinn who glanced home to make it 1-1. 

However, the joy was short-lived for the Buddies with Motherwell regaining the lead four minutes later. Elliot Frear's pinpoint ball into the box was met by Allan Campbell who headed beyond Hladky to restore the Lanarkshire side's advantage and give them all three points.

Match Preview: St Mirren v Motherwell

Saints are back in action at the Simple Digital Arena this evening as we play host to Motherwell in the Ladbrokes Premiership.

FORM

St Mirren come into tonight's game on the back of a controversial loss away to Rangers on Saturday.

Rangers were awarded four penalty kicks as they defeated Saints 4-0 at Ibrox. 

The Buddies have lost their last five Premiership games in a row, but our last league win did come over tonight's opponents. Simeon Jackson's second half goal was enough to give Saints a 1-0 win at Fir Park just before Christmas. 

It's been a tough season for Motherwell, however, the Steelmen have been flying since returning from the winter break. Despite being knocked out of the Scottish Cup by Ladbrokes Championship league leaders Ross County, Stephen Robinson's men have won all three of their league matches in 2019. 

There were 1-0 wins over Hibernian and Dundee with David Turnbull scoring in both games for the Well, while they come into tonight's match on the back of a 3-0 win over Livingston at Fir Park on Saturday. 

Their last defeat in league football came on Boxing Day when they were beaten 1-0 by Kilmarnock at Fir Park.

PREVIOUS

This will be the third meeting of the two sides this season with both having a win to their name.

Motherwell took all the points in the first meeting on Halloween at the Simple Digital Arena. Goals from David Turnbull and Chris Cadden saw the Steelmen win 2-0.

St Mirren were winners in the last meeting between the two, the aforementioned match three days before Christmas. 

Saints' last home win over Motherwell came in May 2015 with late goals from St Mirren Academy graduates Jason Naismith and Stevie Mallan seeing the Buddies come out on top 2-1.

WHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN

A win for either side could see them move up two league places depending on results elsewhere.

Should Saints pick up the points tonight we could move up to 10th place - if both Dundee and Hamilton lose in their matches. 

Likewise, should Motherwell win tonight they could go from ninth to seventh if Livingston and Hibernian lose to Hearts and Celtic respectively. 

TEAM NEWS 

Duckens Nazon, Mateo Muzek and Laurentiu Corbu made debuts from the bench in Saturday's defeat to Rangers. The new boys could be in line for first starts tonight.

Lee Hodson, Gary MacKenzie, Kyle Magennis, Jim Kellermann and Cody Cooke remain sidelined.

Cameron Breadner joins Stenhousemuir on loan

St Mirren Football Club can confirm that Cameron Breadner has joined Stenhousemuir on loan until the end of the season. 

The 18 year-old has made two appearances for the first team this season coming on as a substitute in games against Aberdeen and St Johnstone.

Cameron joins fellow St Mirren Academy player Conor McBrearty at the Warriors.

All at St Mirren wish Cameron the best on his loan move.

Reaction: Oran Kearney Post Rangers

Oran Kearney gives his thoughts on today's loss to Rangers at Ibrox.

Match Report: Rangers 4-0 St Mirren

St Mirren were beaten 4-0 by Rangers at Ibrox this afternoon. 

The Light Blues were awarded FOUR penalties over the 90 minutes by referee Andrew Dallas - three of which left the Buddies frustrated.

Saints couldn't have wished for a worse start when referee Andrew Dallas pointed to the penalty spot after Ethan Erhahon felled Jermain Defoe inside the box with just two minutes on the clock. There were no arguments from St Mirren about the award and James Tavernier stroked home to give the home side an early lead.

To the Buddies' credit they responded well to the early setback and were having plenty of the ball. Brad Lyons almost put Anders Dreyer one-on-one with Allan McGregor, only for a well-timed Tavernier tackle denying the Dane. 

While Saints were on top when it came to possession, Rangers were threatening on the counter and almost doubled their lead on 12 minutes when a quick break forced Vaclav Hladky to turn behind a Ryan Kent effort from the edge of the area.

St Mirren had a couple of corners but couldn't capitalise from them with the nearest chance coming when Dreyer clipped a ball into the box to meet Simeon Jackson. But the forward headed over.

On 25 minutes Rangers were awarded a second penalty when Defoe went down inside the box with Paul McGinn in close proximity. Saints were incensed by the decision with Jack Baird booked for his remonstrations. Again it was Tavernier who stepped up, but this time the right-back smacked his effort off the post.

It would have felt like justice for the Buddies who continued to be well in the match heading towards half-time. However, all Oran Kearney's side had to show for it was a long range shot from Dreyer which drifted wide.

With 10 minutes to go until the break, Kent almost made it 2-0 when he curled the ball off the top of the cross bar from 18 yards. 

It was a slow start to the second half, but Saints had the first half chance when good work from Erhahon saw the 17 year-old get the ball into the box to meet the foot of Jackson who fired over. 

Nine minutes into the second half Rangers were awarded their third penalty of the afternoon. Like the second, it looked to be another harsh decision as the ball appeared to strike Tansey's hands outside the box. This time Tavernier made no mistake from 12 yards to double Gers' advantage. 

Following the second goal, Saints goalkeeper Hladky was kept busy making good stops to deny Defoe, Alfredo Morelos and then Daniel Candieas stretching Rangers lead further.

Remarkably, with 11 minutes of the game remaining, Andrew Dallas pointed to the spot for a FOURTH time. And, as with the previous two, the St Mirren players were left feeling aggrieved with suggestions the foul on Candieas took place outside the box. Despite the protests, Defoe stepped up to score his first goal at Ibrox and make it 3-0 to the home side.

With the game gone from St Mirren, Rangers added a fourth two minutes later when Ryan Kent finished beyond Hladky from inside the box.
