The St Mirren Independent Supporters Association (SMiSA) have announced that members have voted to give their £2 portion of membership fees from October-December to the club to put towards the playing budget.
88% of those who voted decided that they wanted the money, approximately £8,000, to go towards the manager's playing budget with the January transfer window coming up. That is being topped up by £1252.88, a sum that was left over from the July-September period.
Jack Ross said: "The board have been very transparent with me about the budget I had available when I came into the job. I appreciated that and I have been working around what we have. There's never been a case of us chasing the board for more money, so for SMISA to do this of their own volition shows what the club means to them and it's greatly appreciated by myself and the rest of my backroom team as we look to take the club forward."
Club Director and fans representative, David Nicol said: "We are delighted the SMISA membership has voted to make a contribution to the player budget ahead of the January transfer window. Whilst we wouldn't want to do this with every quarterly spend, it's great that we are able to give Jack a boost at this crucial time."
