Cairters_Corner

The club are already looking at filling in one of the conrners with offices etc. Additional hospitality spaces could be an option too. Would like the club to fill in the remaining corners with large advertising boards, similar to Easter Road.

I know the club are looking at plans to fill in one of the corners for a cafe etc. Is that where this comes from?

Download the 'Puffin' browser app and SMFCTICKETS works on iPads and iPhones. The app is free too.

Not convinced. If that was the case why not call themselves Paisley FC or something! Mirin was also known as Mirren. Not a huge amount of information is known about the Saint either which is a shame.

He was also known as 'Mirren of Benchor, Merinus, Merryn and Meadhran'.

Would certainly hope for an independent review. Covering the general governance of the game and 'Rangers'. They cheated Scottish football and I would like be to know what the SFA were up to during this time. Any other sport the award/ title for success would be removed, the same should apply here. I wonder why 'Rangers' and the SFA are against it?.....

Yes it is. This is the case for all games as far as I'm aware.

Away fans in the North Stand. Not in any of the 3 home stands. Disappointed that this issue is still ongoing.

Harry Davis and Gary MacKenzie as our central defence would be fantastic. Sign a decent centre forward and we will finish at least in the top 4.

Away supports, no matter the size, should only ever be in the North Stand. Open one set of turnstiles, 1 food stand a give them one section of the stand. Was never an issue at Love Street and remember the size of the Caley Stand!

Hospitality is 200 and 1877 club is 230.

I've known Dale and his family for years. Also took him to a Saints game at Love Street when he was a kid ( approx 2007) to cheer us on. He couldn't get over the noise of the North Bank! Dale is determined to make this his big season. COYS.

St Mirren quiz reminder Members are reminded tickets are now on sale for our next event – the St Mirren Quiz in the hospitality suite at the stadium on Friday 23 June from 7.30pm. This will be a chance for all fans to test their Saints knowledge against fellow fans, as well as players and staff past and present. We are working on having a team of club legends as well as a team of current staff and players – we are hoping Jack Ross will be able to join us on the night. Tickets are now available on general sale for £5 via this link. All proceeds from the night will go to St Mirren’s youth development. Plus (£25 per month) and Premium members are entitled to a free place for the event and if you haven’t yet claimed yours, you can still do so by emailing [email protected] A pay bar will be available on the night and there will be Saints-related prizes to be given out. However the terms of the licence means the event is only open to over-18s. The exact number of teams will be worked out on the night but you can either form a team with a group of friends, or smaller groups could be combined into bigger teams. We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible there for what should be a great night. Member numbers Our membership numbers remain stable, at 1,291 at the end of May. As always, we would stress that while trust finances remain healthy, we need your continued support to achieve the ultimate aim of a majority fan-owned club. The more members we have, the stronger the trust is. We will be working on a few initiatives over the next few months to spread the word about the benefits of membership and to increase our numbers. Youth team sponsorship One of the projects our members voted to spend some of the £2 members pot from April on was for SMISA to sponsor a Renfrewshire-based youth team’s kits for the coming season. We had a number of teams put themselves forward to go into the draw to receive the £700 sponsorship and the draw – conducted by Jack Ross this week – saw Renfrew BC 2005s come out of the hat. Jack is pictured with SMISA’s Kenny Morrison after the draw The club will be able to spend the money on new kit which will carry a SMISA sponsor’s logo and we will look to involve them with St Mirren where possible. We are working on the two other projects agreed as part of the April spend – the replacement of the hall of fame boards in the ground, and a community season ticket scheme – and will update on both soon. The July spend is almost upon us and we have a number of possible projects we will be able to put before you, with that email to come out in a couple of weeks. If anybody has an idea they would like us to look into for possible inclusion in this or a future ballot, please send it to [email protected] Committee changes The SMISA committee has had a slight reshuffle of roles and responsibilities. The main one is that John White has stepped aside as secretary – a post he has held for a number of years. John has been involved with SMISA since its start in 2002 and his contribution in that time has been absolutely immeasurable. If not for John and a couple of others who carried the organisation for years, there would have been no SMISA through which #BuyTheBuds could have happened. Having recently been appointed as one of two Supporter Liaison Officers by the club he has stepped aside from the role of SMISA secretary for workload reasons. However, John will still continue to attend SMISA committee meetings and play a key role in the trust. The committee have appointed David Riley to replace John as secretary. David has been involved with the committee since last year and brings substantial organisational experience from his role as a senior manager in the airline industry. David can be contacted on [email protected] The committee have also appointed Louise Swanson to serve as admin secretary and her help to take on some of the group’s workload is greatly appreciated by the others. The rest of the committee are pleased to have David and Louise on board and look forward to working with both. As always, if anybody has any questions, please get in touch via [email protected] and we will come back to you.

Why don't the club allow the drum for home supporters only then?

SMISA have been fantastic. Looking forward to the next update. Feel-good factor is finally coming back to the club.

Alex Rae should never have got near the club. Heard he stopped Sean Kelly from wearing green boots and played one group of 'people' against another at training which was stopped after the takeover. "Inappropriate tshirts" apparently as well! Heard this all from a few other supporters. Could be bollocks but who knows... Delighted he is no longer at our club!

All fans who wanted to buy tickets outwith the ticket office opening hours could have went on to Smfc tickets website, just as I did during the week.

Kappa would have been excellent. With any luck we won't have any shades of blue in our away kit or training gear. Black, white and red only.

They are truly pathetic. I must say the forum is much better without them polluting it with their childish nonsense.

Dickson is a sad and bitter old man. Find it strange that someone who doesn't support St.Mirren spends most of his free time on this forum.

If it results in increased income for the club then why not?

Never mentioned Teale and did not say much regarding Murray. Speaks about St.Mirren after about 40 mins if I remember rightly.

Admitted Tommy Craig was a wrong appointment and said lack of investment was down to not wanting the club to go into debt.

Gilmour also had a dig at GLS regarding his first bid, if GLS is going to the invest more cash and Gilmour also seem to doubt whether the current ownership model is best for Saint Mirren...!
