Saints raise money for Royal Blind

A recent bucket collection at the Paisley 2021 Stadium helped raise £340 for the Royal Blind charity. 

Supporters dug deep before last weekend's match against Falkirk, with generous home and away fans donating their change to support the new services for visually impaired older people.

The money raised will help provide specialist equipment for Royal Blind’s new care home in Paisley, Jenny's Well, for visually impaired older people.

The 54 bed nursing home, which will be Royal Blind's first service in the West of Scotland, is due to open in October, with features such as a sensory garden and tactile signage, as well as specialised equipment and highly trained staff.

A former Scotland U21 international, the striker had been training with the Buddies over the last few weeks and now puts pen to paper on a permanent contract after impressing manager Jack Ross.

Speaking on the move, Duffy told stmirren.com: "I'm really excited. It's great to be back home in Scotland. I've been away for a long time and to come back to such a good club in St Mirren is fantastic." 

 

Limited Edition 140 Year Anniversary Pictorial History Book

On Friday October 6 our Club will celebrate – to the day – the 140th anniversary of our first ever match, a 1-0 victory over Johnstone Britannia.

To mark this historic anniversary the Club’s Annual Dinner has been moved to coincide with this very special day. Guests in attendance will each receive one copy of a limited edition pictorial history book – with a difference.

This unique publication is based on the history panels that adorn the walls of the Main Stand suites and corridors, and tells the story of St Mirren in words and pictures from that first kick of the ball to present day. Additional panels are being added to the book’s pages to bring the story of St Mirren right up to date.

It was decided that fans unable to attend the dinner should also have the opportunity to acquire a copy of the book.

Numbered, Bespoke Print Run

Printed on card throughout, numbered and wiro-bound with a foil-blocked cover this book is being made available to the wider St Mirren support at a cost of £20 per copy. And most importantly, the number of copies produced will match the numbers ordered in advance. In other words there will no extra copies available.

Books will be made available for uplift from the Paisley 2021 Stadium in the week following the dinner.

They can be posted in a padded envelope too at an additional cost of £7 PER COPY, within Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales.

All other postage is: Europe - £16 PER COPY, USA and Rest of the World - £21 PER COPY.

These prices are due to the size and weight of the product. 

To allow time to arrange the print run orders for this historic publication must be received by Thursday September 14.

Adam Eckersley: Happy to be on the mend

Adam Eckersley says he is happy to be on the mend from injury as he continues to work towards a return to the first team. 

The left-back made his comeback from an achilles problem yesterday with a 65 minute showing in a closed door match against Hearts. 

It's the first bit of game time the Englishman has played since helping Saints secure survival at Easter Road in the last game of last season. 

And his target is to continue working hard in training as he aims to win a place back in the starting eleven.  

Speaking to stmirren.com, Eckersley said: "It was my first game of football since against Hibs at the end of last year so it was really nice to get through the time I was supposed to get.

I managed to get 65 minutes under my belt and now I feel in my head that I’m back on the road to recovery now, so it was good for me mentally.

"It is always tough finding your feet again. I don’t feel at my sharpest but that only comes with playing games and training.

"Hopefully I can now get a good week of training under my belt. I feel like I am in a good place now and everything feels good so I’m looking forward to it going forward.

"With the injury I had, we had a plan with the physio not to rush me back in unless it was an emergency.

"We had to take time a little bit and gradually increase the load each day, and that is what we have done.

"Now I have just played 65 minutes and I am feeling good so all the arrows are pointing up and in my head I can’t be happier right now."

The 31 year-old was on the bench for Saturday's win over Falkirk and looks likely to be there again for this weekend's derby. 

And while he'd like to be involved, he knows it's important to take his time as he looks to return to match fitness.

I’m looking forward to the game but I am in no rush. I was out for a long time, close to six weeks without playing football.

"It was really good for the team to get off to a winning start. It is always important that you keep the momentum going for the rest of the games.

"We need to approach the game like we did on Saturday and hopefully we can get another good result again."

Stelios delighted to get off to a winning start

Saints full back Stelios Demetriou was delighted to get the Ladbrokes Championship campaign off to a winning start and thanked the supporters for the role they played in driving on the team.

The Buddies were dealt an early blow when Nathan Austin opened the scoring for Falkirk after two minutes.

But Cypriot Stelios was on hand to level for St Mirren as he latched on to Gavin Reilly's ball across before firing past Bairns keeper Robbie Thomson on 33 minutes.

Cammy Smith and Reilly would then go on to score second half goals to secure an opening day triumph against one of the league's promotion contenders. 

It was great," Stelios told stmirren.com.

"We all know our target this season is to be up at the top of the league and that all starts with the home games. It was a good beginning.

"I think since I joined in January that we don't care who the opponent is, especially at the Paisley 2021 Stadium.

"We'll play any opponent with the same passion and the same desire for three points and nothing less. 

"I thought something was going wrong in the first minutes. Maybe it was just the stress of the first game but that is not an excuse. We have to find the solution to stop conceding early goals.

"But my goal, the best thing a player can do is to score a goal for his team and especially in front of this crowd it's the best feeling. 

"The manager told us he was happy that after the first 15 minutes we showed we were the better team. We had the second half in front of us to go and win the game.

"Every game we are going to go for the win. Sometimes we are going to be behind, sometimes we are going to be in front. We are going to have to find the strength and the power to turn around games like we did today."

There was a 4639 strong crowd at the Paisley 2021 Stadium on Saturday - the highest attendance for any match in Scotland out with the Ladbrokes Premiership. 

And Stelios admits the vocal support from the Paisley loyal was massive in helping the team to victory. 

They are our 12th player," he said.

"They showed from last season that they are by our side. Hopefully we can give them more happiness this season.

"I want them to stay by our side and we'll give them our best on the park."  

The Buddies' attention now turns to Saturday's match at Cappielow against Renfrewshire rivals Morton. 

Stelios scored the first goal in a 4-1 win for the side in the last derby and while he is excited to play in another he admits all focus is on trying to gain another three points. 

We are going to work on the opponents type of play.

"I know it's a derby but we approach it as another game and look to get the win."
