We are giving fans the opportunity to vote for the man of the match and also put two lucky fans in with the chance of winning a £10 voucher for the Club Shop.

Every home game we’ll throw open the voting on the 60 minute mark for 20 minutes where votes can be cast on Facebook and Twitter. All you have to do is use the hashtag #SMFCMOM followed by the name of the player you are voting for, eg ‘#SMFCMOM MORGAN’.

With 10 minutes of the game remaining all the votes will be counted then the Stadium Announcer will confirm the winning player over the tannoy system.

From all the fans who nominate the winning player one will be picked at random from the Facebook account and another from the Twitter account and they will each be awarded a £10 voucher for the Club Shop. The winners will be notified through the account they posted from.

So get yourself ready on the hour mark of Saturday’s game against Dundee United and get voting with #SMFCMOM.

Paisley Panda is all set for Saturday’s match against Dundee United as he gets ready to host the ever-popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’.

To take part in ‘Bung a Baw’ fans need to purchase a small foam ball which is numbered and they will then have a chance to throw their ball towards our club mascot Paisley Panda in front of the Family Stand. Each person will have 60 seconds to do this and the winner will be the person who has thrown the ball closest to the feet of the Panda with the winner being confirmed over the PA system.

The competition is sponsored by The Linwood Farm Restaurant who are supplying a family meal voucher as the prize for the contest winner.

Each ball will cost £1 to buy. The balls will be available from sellers inside the Family Stand in the 30 minutes leading up to kick-off and then again in the first 5 minutes of half-time before the competition starts (subject to availability). Each ball is numbered and participants will also get a ticket with the corresponding number which they will use to claim the prize if they win.

Paisley Panda predicts that ‘Bung a Baw’ will continue to be very popular this season so he advises that you get in early tomorrow to purchase your ball to take part.

As well as taking care of ‘Bung a Baw’ Paisley Panda will be giving away sweets to the kids in and around the stadium courtesy of the Black and White Army website.

Paisley Panda has also teamed up with the St Mirren Club Shop so you will be able to buy hats and scarves for the game from the 'Bung a Baw' stands.

Paisley Panda is pleased to confirm that ‘First Scorer’ will be back for tomorrow's game against Dundee United.

‘First Scorer’ gives fans the opportunity to predict in advance of the game who they think will score St Mirren's first goal in Saturday’s match against The Tangerines.

The winner will be picked at random from those who guessed correctly and they will win a bag of a dozen doughnuts which will be delivered to your seat right after the goal is scored!

To enter all you have to do ahead of the game is post your prediction of the first St Mirren scorer on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #Saints1stgoal. The lucky winner will then be contacted to confirm which stand they will be in with the row and seat number so that the prize can be delivered to them.

At St Mirren's home game against Dundee United on 26th August, the Paisley 2021 Stadium will be used as a collection point for food donations for the Renfrewshire Foodbank.

The players met with Elizabeth Alexander from the Foodbank at the St Mirren Training Ground in Ralston yesterday to hand over their donation ahead of this weekend's collection. 

Speaking about the importance of food donations, Elizabeth said: "It's really important.

"People are relying on us to feed themselves and their families and without these donations we couldn't do the work we do.

"At the moment our numbers are higher than they have ever been, so the more donations we can get the better able we are to get a parcel of food to people who need it." 

SMiSA committee member, Jim Crawford said: "It is important for the club to be involved in community activity and be a force for good.

"We need the people of Renfrewshire to see that it's not just a football club - it is part of the community."

A list of the items that Foodbank desperately needs can be found here.
