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.

    BY RAIL

    Get train from Paisley Gilmour Street to Paisley St James – exit from the station is straight onto Greenhill Road where the stadium is facing you. To plan your journey by rail with Scotrail please click HERE.

    BY BUS

    Most buses will stop at Paisley Cross or Mill Street, from both you will see the Paisley Town Hall. 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. Access to the North Stand will be from Ferguslie Park Avenue.

Together We Win // Show Racism The Red Card

St Mirren FC Shows its Support for Show Racism The Red Card

St Mirren Football Club is proudly continuing its support for Show Racism the Red Card during our match against Aberdeen on Saturday 18th October 2025. Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s leading anti-racism education charity, working within schools, workplaces, sports, and community organisations to educate and challenge behaviours and attitudes that have no place in a modern Scotland. Using the power of football is a powerful tool to initiate conversations about anti-racism and our club has supported their messages of tolerance and inclusion for many, many years and will continue to do so. Now more than ever, the importance of active anti-racism cannot be overstated.

Billy Singh, Campaign Manager from Show Racism the Red Card in Scotland had this to say: "Football has always been more than a game. It brings people together across communities, cities, and nations. In Scotland, our clubs and our supporters have a proud tradition of passion, loyalty, and pride. But football also has a responsibility: to stand firmly against racism and discrimination, both on and off the pitch."

Recent events show that prejudice and division remain present in society. When voices seek to divide us, football must provide the opposite example – one of unity, respect, and solidarity. The message from our game should be clear: there is no place for racism in our stadiums, in our communities, or in our country.

Show Racism the Red Card exists because education and action are vital. Campaigns like ours provide young people and adults with the tools to recognise racism, challenge it, and replace it with understanding. Football clubs are uniquely placed to spread this message, reaching thousands every week through matches, community programmes, and role models on the pitch.

We are asking supporters not only to reject racist language and behaviour, but to be active anti-racists. That means speaking out when something is wrong, supporting those targeted by abuse, and showing that the true spirit of football is inclusive. Silence allows prejudice to grow; action and solidarity stop it in its tracks.

Scottish football is enriched by players and coaches from across the world and fans cheer those players. This diversity is not a threat – it is one of the game’s greatest strengths. The range of nationalities on the pitch reflects the reality of modern Scotland: a nation shaped by contributions from people of many backgrounds.

When we stand together in our stadiums, we show what community really means. 'Together We Are Stronger' is more than a slogan – it is a truth that runs through football. Racism weakens us all, but unity makes us powerful.

So this matchday, and every day, let’s make sure that our game is welcoming for everyone. Raise your voice, challenge racism, and show that football fans in Scotland are united.

Up Next: St Mirren v Aberdeen (18th Oct)

St Mirren return to William Hill Premiership action on Saturday with Saints hosting Aberdeen at The SMiSA Stadium. 

Match Details

St Mirren v Aberdeen
Competition: William Hill Premiership
Date: Saturday 18th October 2025
Kick-off: 3pm
Venue: The SMiSA Stadium

Tickets

Season tickets are valid for Saturday's match. Supporters without a season ticket can buy online at stmirren.com/matchtickets

Tickets for away supporters are on sale directly from Aberdeen. There are no away tickets available to purchase from St Mirren.

Form

A 2-0 loss at Kilmarnock prior to the international break was just Saints' second loss of the season. First-half goals from David Watson and Marcus Dackers saw Killie take the three points and leapfrog Saints in the William Hill Premiership. 

The Buddies sit in fifth place in the league after picking up nine points from our opening seven matches. The Buddies are unbeaten at home having beaten Dundee 1-0 in our last match at The SMiSA Stadium, as well as drawing with Motherwell (0-0) and Rangers (1-1) in August. Stephen Robinson's side are unbeaten at home in the William Hill Premiership since the beginning of March. 

Aberdeen picked up their first league win of the season before the break after a resounding 4-0 victory over Dundee at Pittodrie. The Dons remain at the foot of the table, but victory moved them to within two points of Dundee who sit in 11th place. 

Saints have won the previous three meetings between the two sides. A Mikael Mandron strike was enough to secure a 1-0 victory for the Buddies when the sides last met at The SMiSA Stadium in May. The forward also scored a double in our 3-0 win at Pittodrie in January. Toyosi Olusanya and Richard Taylor were on the scoresheet last November when Saints inflicted a first league defeat of the season on Jimmy Thelin's men on a wintry day in Paisley.

St Mirren B fall to late defeat at Kelty Hearts

St Mirren B fell to a late defeat away to Kelty Hearts in the KDM Evolution Trophy on Saturday.

Having picked up four points from their opening four fixtures, a win would have put the young Saints in a strong position to reach the last 32 with only one match remaining in the league phase. 

And the Buddies would get off to a bright start with Carrick Mcevoy stealing possession in the middle of the park and sliding the ball through to Luke Douglas. The forward drove forward, making his way into the box, before twisting and turning the Kelty defence and slotting beyond goalkeeper Corey Armour to give Saints the lead on 15 minutes. 

Luke Douglas gives St Mirren B the lead

The hosts struck back nine minutes later with loanee Ricco Diack levelling the scores. The striker turned home from close range to make it 1-1. Diack would score the winner for the hosts with 13 minutes remaining. His initial header came off the cross bar, but he was in the right place at the right time to home the rebound and ensure the points remained with the Fifers. 

The young Buddies close out the league phase away to Stranraer on Tuesday 11th November. A win against the League Two side could still be enough for St Mirren B to secure their place in the round of 32. 

Full-Time: Kelty Hearts 2-1 St Mirren B

St Mirren B: Mullen, Hutchison, Clark, Hunter, Penman (Lavery 46), Hodgkiss (Stoddart 72), Mcevoy (c), Thompson, Falconer (Farquhar 78), Calvin, Douglas
Subs Not Used: Innes, Barr, Kiely, Rehman, Morrow

Kelty Hearts: Armour, Scott, Clay, Brydon, Thomas, Leitch (Snoddy 87), Ferguson, McInally (Murray 46), McCarvel (Moore 64), Diack (Winiarski 87), Bexfield (Campbell 79)
Subs Not Used: Adamson, Brown, McHale

Marcus Fraser Exclusive Interview

Marcus Fraser has been an almost ever present since signing with St Mirren in 2020. The Saints vice-captain has made 231 appearances across his five years at the Buddies and is renowned for his consistent performances at the heart of the St Mirren defence. So much so, Marcus was named St Mirren Players’ Player of the Year for season 2024/25.

However, an injury picked up in our win over Falkirk last month has seen the 31-year-old miss our last three matches. He’s been working hard to get himself back to fitness, while also looking ahead to the future.
