Message from the board;
St Mirren head into a pivotal game in their season this evening as they face Motherwell at Fir Park.
Everybody connected with St Mirren Football Club knows the importance of this game and those that follow in the next few weeks.
In a message to the fans ahead of the game St Mirren Chairman Stewart Gilmour said, “On behalf of The Board of Directors of St Mirren FC we hope that our supporters will travel in good numbers to Motherwell tonight for this very important match and give the players your full backing. It has been a very frustrating season but one which can be recoverable starting tonight.
“In past years St Mirren teams have reacted to the fantastic support they have received for big matches at Motherwell and Falkirk, twice, and the teams have come away with the results at crucial times so we would ask if you can be there tonight to attend and give the players your 100% backing throughout the game.”
Team manager Gary Teale has been preparing his players for tonight’s game and he also knows that the St Mirren fans will turn out tonight to play their part: “We are a relatively young team in the main and you could see the players reaction to the positive support they got from the Stands on Friday night against Celtic.
“I thought the players worked so hard during the full 90 minutes and the fans really got behind the team. I would urge all St Mirren fans if you can make tonight to be there as your support can only help the players. We all realise what’s required of us which is a vital match for the Club tonight.”
One of the players on the field will be full-back Jason Naismith who assures that the team haven’t given up the fight. He said, “The players are all aware of the importance of tonight’s match, the fans can be assured that we will work as hard as we can and go out there to do our best for St Mirren FC.
“The fans support can be like a 12th man so please stay with us and help us get the result we all want.“
