Hello and welcome to the Future Saints Christmas Auction!
In establishing the Future Saints Initiative with St. Mirren Youth Development, SMiSA have sought to find ways and means to raise money for the development of young players that will hopefully make their mark one day in the Saints first team.
After being able to secure some very exclusive pieces of St. Mirren memorabilia that the club has been kind enough to donate to us, SMiSA and the St. Mirren Youth Development team are hopeful that in setting up this auction, they can do exactly that, with fans of the club able to take home those items of memorabilia in time for the festive season!
The latest bidding details are shown in the list of items opposite. These are updated at least once a day by the web team.
