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.

  • Finding the SMiSA Stadium

  • Getting to the SMiSA Stadium

    BY ROAD

    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. Then take your first right on to Clark Street and drive to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

From the Town Hall cross the High Street towards the Piazza Shopping Centre, when acoss walk towards the town centre until you come to Gilmour Street. Turn right on to Gilmour Street and walk towards the railway station which is about 150 yards away. From there you can get train to Paisley St James or if you prefer to walk the following routes are advised by the police:

    Home fans: cross road to the left on to St James Street – follow through up Underwood Road then turn right at Greenhill Road where stadium is 200 yards further along the road. Access to the Main Stand is from Greenhill Road and the South and West Stands will be accessed from Drums Avenue.

    Away fans: cross road to Love Street continue up the street till you come to Albion Street where you will turn left. Follow Albion Street until you come to the junction with Greenock Road where you will turn right. Cross the road then walk about 200 yards before taking your first left on to Clark Street. Walk straight up Clark Street to the end of the street which is the junction with Greenhill Road, turn left and you will see the the stadium on the opposite side of the road.

Scott Gallacher: Hope To Kick On

Goalkeeper Scott Gallacher heaped praise on goalkeeping coach Jamie Langfield and the manager Jack Ross after arguably his best performance in a St Mirren shirt in the 1-0 win over Raith Rovers on Saturday.

The 27 year-old was in top form as he made a number of saves to help Saints keep their first clean sheet in the league this season and secure their first home league win of the 2016/17 campaign.

Speaking to stmirren.com, Gallacher admitted that he knew there had been a lot of talk about how The Buddies hadn't kept a clean sheet since the 3-0 win over Edinburgh City in the Betfred Cup in July.

It was a great feeling," he said. "The pressure we've been under the last few weeks, apart from during the week there which was immense, obviously people have been saying it's a long time since we've had a clean sheet. I'm well chuffed for all the lads as well because it's a team game.

"We train hard every week to try and keep a clean sheet. We all train hard and Jamie [Langfield] has been training me well - he's different class. The manager has come in and done really well and touch wood the results have changed and hopefully we'll just kick on from here.

Gallacher has established himself as number one under Jack Ross and admits the faith shown in him has helped his belief.

It gives me a lot of confidence," he explained. "He's always been a great guy with me, he's always been upfront and honest with everybody. He's a great manager and I think everybody is buying into what he wants to do as well."

The goalkeeper was pleased with his performance but also took time to applaud the defence in front of him.

I thought I did well," he continued. "They were trying to hit us in behind the two centre halves so a lot was focused on my positioning, but I thought I was pretty comfortable with that and I think the defence were different class. They won every single header and didn't let anything go through them and even if it did I was there to sweep up.

"It just puts the icing on the cake. We do work hard and we try everything in every single department to try and get better and I think it's paying off for us just now and hopefully it continues."
