Following the meeting at St. Mirren Park on Thursday 1st December SMiSA would like to clarify our current position in relation to the proposed Community Interest Company purchase of the consortium's shareholding. While the headlines of the deal appear to be similar the structure of the proposal is clearly different. Our support in principal remains, however it should be noted that although a mandate for conditional contribution of SMiSA funds was established no firm proposal was ever developed.

We are in discussions with 10000 Hours and seeking clarity on the current proposal in particular the Business Plan, Constitution and specific confirmation that the major elements of the funding arrangements are absolutely in place. Newsletters have been posted out to members however in the meantime any member wishing to discuss the above should feel free to contact us.

SMiSA would like to make its members aware that unfortunately, we have been unable to secure a suitable venue on the dates available to allow us to hold a meeting this month.  However, this is something we are looking to resolve and will advise on any further developments as soon as possible.

We will be issuing a newsletter to the members over the next 7 days to inform in particular our current position with the CIC.

SMiSA are pleased to announce that last week's Question & Answer night at St. Mirren Park has raised £186.47 in donations for St. Mirren Youth Development.

During the evening, fans were able to put their questions to Saints manager, Danny Lennon, as well as his assistant, Tommy Craig, and club captain, Jim Goodwin on any on-field matters.

SMiSA would like to thank Danny, Tommy & Jim for turning out for the evening and answering all questions, and to all the fans for their donations towards the club's youth development programme.

SMiSA are pleased to announce that there will be a Question & Answer Night to be held in the Corporate Hospitality suite at St. Mirren Park on Thursday the 3rd of November.  Saints manager Danny Lennon will be on hand to answer questions on all team matters. The night kicks off at 7.30pm in the suite and the bar will be open.

Admission will be via a donation to St. Mirren Youth Development on the door.
