The Saint Newspaper – New Edition Out Now


Recommended Posts

SMiSA has initiated and published a trial edition the popular free newspaper ‘The Saint’ and copies will initially be available and distributed at the end of Saturdays match against Ayr United.

The new twelve-page edition has a targeted circulation of 11,000 copies and the success and the future of the publication will depend on the response from fans, both in terms of feedback on the content and the help provided with the distribution.

Firstly, we need help to hand out copies to every saints fan as they leave the ground this Saturday, so if you are able to help please get in touch by emailing [email protected] or just turn up on the day and offer assistance to any of the fellow buds already handing them out

It would also add to the wider marketing of St.Mirren FC for every saints fan to be involved and help promote your club by taking a couple of copies and passing on to friends and neighbours, or by leaving a copy in your local shop, pub, library etc etc.

The main purpose of this wide distribution plan is two-fold

1)       To provide awareness of fan groups activities and encourage more fans to sign up to SMiSA

 

2)      To provide information on all things St.Mirren to the wider community of Renfrewshire, and beyond, and encourage them to get involved in the activities, including match day attendance.

 

This venture is providing a practical opportunity for every saints fan to actively promote St.Mirren FC but requires minimal time or effort, where by assisting with distribution (even by passing on one copy), or engaging with potential sponsors for future editions we would like to hear from you.

Hold on.

Is this a community related project?

According to Blub the shit stirrer, we don't do anything relating to the community.

Typically unoriginal shit response. 

Well done SMISA would have been sufficient. 

Looking forward to getting mine.

I've still got a few copies of the original Saint which came out in, I think, the seventies. 

Misplaced my original copies. 

Managed to pick up replacements a few years ago. 

I think from Ebay.

As community related as Pravda, Der Sturmer or the Nationalist. 

Some folk clearly have no idea what a community project is or what it looks like :rolleyes:

Nice to see a back page spread about the fans council 1877 club.

In the renewed spirit of co-operation between Buddies with the best interest of our club at heart , perhaps the FC might consider some reciprocal advertising for this worthwhile venture on their site and also have copies of the paper made available in the club (if it isnt already)

We (most of us ) have similar aims & desires for our club ,albeit with different ideas on how to achieve them but lets not forget .... we are all Buds.

on line availability - yes that's the intention, will announce when available

copies were distributed today to 1877 club (200) hospitality(100), stm airport car parking(300) and newspaper distribution company 1500 (don't know the name of company but many thanks to Des) as well as at the match and individual shops etc

we could however do with more involvement from supporters and there are more copies available at the stadium if anyone has any ideas for further distribution.

please get in touch if you can assist

The Club has, in the recent past, given out match tickets to local schools & youth groups?
Approach those schools ( & as many other schools as you fancy) & ask that they give them to the children (put them in their school bags is the phrase used down here)
You'll be getting The Saint into many homes & hopefully, many will have a good read of it.

there are still a lot of copies of 'the saint newspaper' available and on saturday morning (before the QotS game) 11:30 to 13:00 a few of us will be handing them out to the general public at paisley cross and to all shops in the location

all help would be appreciated giving you all a chance to help promote your club as opposed to the many accusations of negativity to all things St.Mirren of forum posters

see you there

Copies were handed out at recent home games and will still be available at future games, but to make sure fans in further-flung locations are able to see it, we have added a copy on our website at smisa.net we hope you enjoy the read.
