Paisley Panda is all set for Saturday’s match against Falkirk with his preparations all in place for the popular match day competition ‘Bung a Baw’ and he will also be launching a new competition called 'First Scorer'.

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 reports that ‘Bung a Baw’ continues to be very popular so he advises that you get in early tomorrow to purchase your ball to take part.

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.

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

St Mirren supporters collected an incredible 520.69kg of food, enough to provide 1240 meals, to donate to the Renfrewshire Foodbank. 

The collection took place at the Paisley 2021 Stadium on 17 December 2016 just before Saints took on Ayr United in the Ladbrokes Championship.

In a letter to Saints supporters, Elizabeth Alexander, Project Manager of the Foodbank said: "Thank you so much for donating your collection to the Renfrewshire Foodbank. You collected 520.69kg of food, a wonderful donation. This will be used this winter to help people in need in Renfrewshire. We really appreciate your support of the Renfrewshire Foodbank."

The board are happy to announce that the club will be subsidising part of the cost of the four official supporters club buses for Saturday's trip to Dundee.

Saints face Paul Hartley's side in the fourth round of the Scottish Cup at Dens Park this weekend and the club is keen to repay supporters for their loyalty throughout this season. We hope that the gesture will help see a strong travelling support back the buds as we look to try and continue our good from in cup competitions this season. 

Chairman Gordon Scott said: "Supporters are the lifeblood of this club and we are delighted to be giving something back to them. Their support really does matter to the management and players and is never taken for granted. Attending away matches is a huge commitment for fans and we hope this will entice as many as possible to make the journey."
