The Supporters trust was established in 2002 at a time of great crisis for the football club. The trust is run by St Mirren fans for St Mirren fans and is currently recruiting new members to continue the work we have undertaken over the last 12 years- be a part of this.
Here are ten good reasons why you should join the Trust or renew your membership now.
OUR CLUB
St Mirren is our club and we should have a position, as supporters, in the decision making process. We seek influence to ensure the fans are being fully considered in all aspects of the decision making process.
OUR COMMUNITY
OUR COMMUNITY
We see the community as the fans that fill the stand here at St Mirren Park. St Mirren is a community club true but it’s not the facilities that make this it’s the fans. The Trusts primary focus above all other activities is the fans and the position of supporters in the structure of the club.
A COMMON VOICE
A COMMON VOICE
At times of change and turmoil in our game we the supporters need a common voice that can be heard. This will always be true, unity and common purpose is a genuine strength amongst football fans.
A NATIONAL VOICE
A NATIONAL VOICE
The Trust extends its members voice into a national arena through Supporters Direct.
DEMOCRATIC
DEMOCRATIC
We are ordinary supporters with no hidden agenda. The Trust is a democratically constituted body that represents supporters and operates on a one member, one vote principal. The Trust is a shareholder in St Mirren and membership gives each individual an equal stake in this block of shares. We cannot achieve this as individuals it has to be by its very nature a team effort.
CONTINUITY
CONTINUITY
As a Trust we provide continuity regardless of who is running the club. So far we have maintained a dialogue with the club throughout our history. In this time we have never wavered from maintaining our position and providing an independent opinion.
FUND RAISING
FUND RAISING
The Trust has for over a decade first hand experience in fund raising and although the club is currently not in desperate need of such funding things can change quickly in football. The Trust will always be in a position to respond.
TODAY
TODAY
As the club potentially becomes owned by a single majority shareholder the need for a strong and cohesive Supporters Trust increases.
TOMORROW
TOMORROW
Who knows what the future holds but with a strong Supporters voice at the club we could at least be assured there are people who care about the club moving forward.
AND FOREVER
AND FOREVER
Seen them come seen them go …. That was the message to us when we set up in 2002, many thought we would quickly diminish and disappear but we didn’t. We are still here and why wouldn’t we be! After all we are St Mirren fans and this is our club. Join the Trust and be a part of this.
