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.

Reaction: Oran Kearney Post-Livingston

Saints gaffer Oran Kearney reflects on a bitterly disappointing afternoon for St Mirren as the Buddies are beaten away to Livingston.

Match Report: Livingston 3-1 St Mirren

St Mirren fell to a disappointing defeat at the Tony Macaroni Arena this afternoon.

The Buddies took a first half lead throw Alfie Jones, but a poor second half performance saw goals from Scott Pittman, Ryan Hardie and Craig Sibbald give Livingston all three points.

It was a scrappy first half with neither side creating much in the opening stages bar Steven Lawless sending a powerful effort over on two minutes.

Saints were dealt a blow on 10 minutes when Paul McGinn had to be substituted following a clash of heads at a corner kick, though it doesn't look like it will rule the full-back out of action going forward.

Livingston's defenders combined to give the Lions the best real opportunity of the game so far when a long throw from Alan Lithgow was hooked wide by Declan Gallagher on 25 minutes.

However, it was a St Mirren defender who would open the scoring as Alfie Jones popped up on 36 minutes to grab his first goal for the Buddies. Loanee Ryan Edwards was blocked on the right wing which saw referee Andrew Dallas award Saints a free kick. Adam Hammill flung the ball into the box where it met the head of Alfie Jones who guided home to put St Mirren in front.

Saints seemed buoyed by the goal, but only had a deflected Hammill strike from the edge of the box which was gathered routinely by Liam Kelly to show for it.

Any hopes of carrying that momentum into the second half were extinguished pretty soon after the break. Gallagher drove forward for the home side and played the ball into Scott Pittman who slid the ball low past Danny Rogers to level the scores just five minutes into the second half. 

The Buddies did try to lift themselves and could have been back in front if it wasn't for Kelly pushing away a low Hammill free kick from 25 yards out a few minutes after the equaliser.

In truth though it was the home side who were on top with Keaghan Jacobs not too far away with a long range strike on the hour mark. 

But just four minutes later Livi would find themselves ahead. The Buddies couldn't clear their lines after a blocked Pittman shot found its way back into the Saints box. It fell invitingly for Ryan Hardie who didn't need to think twice as he slammed the ball into the net from just a few yards out.

Frustratingly, it was still the home side who looked the more threatening after their second goal and they nearly added a third on 70 minutes when Gallagher's header looked like it would loop in only for the ball to crash off the bar.

While Saints were treated to an Adam Hammill wonder-goal from his own half on Wednesday night against Hibernian, the Buddies were almost on the receiving end when a slack clearance from Rogers was gathered by Jacobs who tried to catch out the on-loan goalkeeper from the half-way line. The Livi midfielder wasn't all that far away as it just sailed over.

The home side wrapped up the three points with just two minutes of normal time remaining. Rogers couldn't gather Pittman's effort which allowed substitute Craig Sibbald to tap home into the empty net.

Match Preview: Livingston v St Mirren (8th Dec)

St Mirren are on the road again tomorrow afternoon when they head to the Tony Macaroni Arena to face Livingston for the second time this season.

FORM

After the loss to Hamilton last weekend St Mirren got back on to the plus point tally with a hard-fought 2-2 draw at Easter Road on Wednesday night.

The draw in Edinburgh sees Saints with just one loss in their last four league outings thanks to a win against Hearts in Paisley and draws on the road against Dundee and Hibs.

Wednesday's match at Easter Road saw Saints take the lead twice. The first came in 6 minutes when Adam Hammill netted from 55 yards as he launched his shot from just inside the St Mirren half that flew over the top of the Hibs keeper on its way to the back of the net. The home side pulled level early in the second half through Olly Shaw but Paul McGinn gave Saints back the lead when he headed home a cross from Hammill. Unfortunately the Buddies let the lead slip again when Ryan Porteous netted for Hibs.

Livingston go into tomorrow's game on the back of a 2-0 defeat away to Kilmarnock this past midweek.

The Livi Lions got off to a great start this season that saw them sit in the top six towards the end of October. But their form has got a bit indifferent since then with one win in their last six outings including defeats against St Johnstone (0-1), Hamilton (0-1), Rangers (0-3) and Kilmarnock (0-2) on Wednesday. They did win last weekend thanks to goals from Steve Lawless and Craig Halkett against Motherwell.

PREVIOUS

Tomorrow will be the first meeting between the sides at the Tony Macaroni Arena since last season when Saints went down 4-1, but they did meet earlier this season in Paisley when goals from Jack Hamilton and Alan Lithgow were enough to earn Livi the points.

Last season the four league games between the two sides who were promoted from the Championship saw Saints win twice, Livi once and a no-scoring draw that saw Saints earn the point they needed to lift the Championship trophy.

Over the years the home side in this fixture hasn't normally faired too well and while both Saints and Livi bucked that trend last season, the West Lothian side got it back on track with their win at the Simple Digital Arena on 25th August, Saints will no doubt be looking to reciprocate tomorrow.

WHAT A WIN WOULD MEAN

St Mirren are looking for a first away win of the season.

Saints will be hoping to earn the three points as Hamilton face Hibs on Saturday and Dundee face Rangers on Sunday.

A win for Livi could fire them back into the top six as the two teams above them - Aberdeen (2 points ahead) and St Johnstone (3 points ahead) go face to face at Pittodrie tomorrow.

Match Report: Hibernian 2-2 St Mirren

St Mirren picked up a valuable point at Easter Road as the Buddies battled out a 2-2 draw with Hibernian.  

Saints led twice thanks to goals from Adam Hammill and Paul McGinn, but had to settle for a point as Hibs hit back twice with goals from Oli Shaw and Ryan Porteous. 

The Buddies started brightly with a nice bit of skill from Hammill on the left playing in Ethan Erhahon on the overlap. The 17 year-old's ball across was headed out only as far as Stephen McGinn, but the skipper didn't catch it well enough as it flew out for a throw-in. 

A few moments later Danny Mullen showed good desire to out-jump Efe Ambrose to reach a cross into the box but headed wide. 

Saints were soon to be rewarded for their positive start with Adam Hammill doing what Adam Hammill seems to do.

Just as he did against Hibs' Edinburgh derby rivals Hearts less than two weeks ago, Hammill picked the ball up in his own half. He looked up to see Adam Bogdan off his line and let fly from 55 yards with the ball sailing over the helpless Hibee to give Saints the lead.

The hosts starting coming into the game more as the half wore on with ex-Saint Stevie Mallan going on a nice solo run before sticking an effort harmlessly wide on 25 minutes. 

A couple of minutes later Danny Rogers made an excellent stop to deny a Lewis Stevenson drive from the edge of the box. 

Oli Shaw had two good opportunities as time ticked away in the first half. The first saw the striker head wide from 

Hibs found themselves level on 56 minutes as Shaw fired home from close range. Saints were left incensed as Kyle Magennis had pulled up with an injury. But with the teenager having rolled off the pitch Hibs took their throw-in to Boyle who charged down the right wing before sending it low to Shaw who knocked beyond Rogers from just a few yards out.

But a little more than 10 minutes later Saints were back in front.

Hammill was felled on the left hand side and won a free kick. The Englishman got up to whip the ball into the box where it met the head of Paul McGinn who nodded home for his first St Mirren goal. 

Hibs were level for a second time five minutes later. Mallan sent a corner into a dangerous area where it met defender Ryan Porteous who headed in to make it 2-2. 

As time ticked away it was Saints who looked the more likely to grab all three points.

A quick counter in injury time saw Ryan Edwards pick out Hammill on the left but the winger just couldn't find the pace to burst into the clear and the Hibs defence managed to clear.
