After what was a disappointing result and performance in Saints’ final home Saturday game of the season in being held to a goalless draw against Gretna, SMiSA held its 2008 Player of the Year night this past Saturday on the 10^th of May at Suburbia in Shuttle St Paisley.

The event was, as last year’s, well-attended by players including Hugh Murray, Ian Maxwell, David Van Zanten, Gary Mason, Will Haining, Andy Dorman, Billy Mehmet, Craig Dargo & Franco Miranda among many others, as well as the management team of Gus MacPherson & Andy Millen.

In an unfortunate turn of events, one of our bidders has had to pull out of Saints Aid 7, this Sunday.  Mark Syme, who was due to play in the Home #5 position, has suffered an injury and won't be able to play as a result.  His place will be taken by Alan Wardrop, who has generously offered to match Mark's bid of £300.

Everyone at SMiSA would like to wish Mark all the best in his recovery, and thank Alan for taking up the place.

We have also compiled an event itinerary for the players so that they know what to expect this Sunday.  For full information, please click the 'Read More' button.

Today SMiSA can confirm that the competitions for the remaining places in Saints Aid 7, which will take place on Sunday May 18th, have had their winners drawn.

The Paisley Daily Express competition for the home 12 shirt was won by Stuart Baungally.  As Stuart had already bought the home 14 place in the event, he has kindly donated that #14 jersey on to Duncan Johnston, so he can take up his #12 one.

The Official Site competition for the away 12 shirt, was won by Graeme Ogg, and the Black & White Army.com competition for the away 14 shirt, was won by "Frank McGarvey' wonky legs".

SMiSA would like to thank the PDE, the official site and B&W Army.com, for all their help in publicising what should be a great event on the 18th of May, as well as everyone who entered the 3 competitions.  We would also of course, like to offer our congratulations to the 3 lucky winners and wish them a happy & enjoyable time on the 18th.

The 7th Annual Saints Aid event sold out this morning, with the last available shirt being sold.  This means that the auction for places has had to close early!

We at SMiSA want to thank everyone who took the time to bid for a place, and to congratulate the 23 lucky winners who will take to the pitch on Sunday, May 18th for what is sure to be a memorable occasion.

While we do not anticipate any of the 23 winners to cancel, in the unlikely event that they do, the auction will be reopened for a brief period to allow people to go for the available place.

3 places do however remain open - in 3 special competitions run by our friends at the Paisley Daily Express, the Official St. Mirren Website, and Black & White Army.com.  These competitions are for the Home 12, Away 12 and Away 14 places respectively.
