League Reconstruction - Statement from The Board

In reference of the statement issued today from St Mirren Football Club’s Board of Directors regarding League Reconstruction, SMiSA, the St Mirren Supporters Trust would support the stance taken by the club at this time.

It was established at the Trust’s AGM on the 31st March that the feelings were that the 12-12-18 league setup proposal cannot be looked on favourably and backed at this time.

SMiSA AGM - Thank You

SMiSA would like to thank all of the trust members who turned up for last Sunday's AGM at the Wynd Centre.  A very productive discussion was had with those in attendance and a summary of the meeting and our plan for moving forward will be posted out to the membership in due course.  We would once again like to take the opportunity to to thank all of our members for their continued support at this time and recognise their dedication to St Mirren.

SMiSA AGM - 31st March 2013

SMiSA would like to remind all of our members that the trust's AGM will take place on Sunday, 31st March 2013, in The Wynd Centre Auditorium, School Wynd, Paisley at 3.15pm (following the St Mirren vs Celtic match, kickoff 12:45).  All members should have received via post information pertaining to the meeting, a copy of the trust's accounts and a voting form to be returned.  If any member has not received this, please let us know via email.

We at the trust would also like to stress to our members the importance of attending this meeting if at all possible as there are a number of key issues to discuss which will have a bearing on the future direction of the trust and its organisation as stated in the post out.

Members are free to bring a guest to the AGM if they wish, but we would ask that they please inform trust secretary Wullie Bell via email if they intend to do so.

In closing, we would also at this time like to thank all our members for their continued support of both the trust & St Mirren, and hope all Buddies will be celebrating a great victory for St Mirren this Sunday 17th March, in the League Cup Final!

Question & Answer Night - 15th November

Image SMiSA will be hosting a Question and Answer Evening with Danny Lennon, Tommy Craig and a senior player in the Hospitality Suite at St Mirren Park on Thursday 15th November. The evening will start at 7pm prompt and will finish by 9pm. The cost of entry is by way of a small donation to Youth Development.

It would be appreciated if everyone could be seated by 6.45pm.

Availability of St. Mirren Merchandise

It is with regret and a degree of reluctance that we feel the requirement to raise the following issue publicly but it is something that we believe requires addressing and our previous attempts to raise the following issue with the Club have, to date, proved non-productive.

Since the departure of Provan Sports the availability of St.Mirren merchandising has all but disappeared to the point where we can barely lay claim to possessing a Club outlet at all.

James Proctor on the Fans' Charter

Hi there,

As you'll hopefully be aware since leaving Supporters Direct Scotland I've been involved in gathering the views and opinions of football fans for a project to help create a fans' charter. The charter will hopefully go some way to improving the experience of going to matches and improving the relationships between clubs, fans, stewards and police and the project is supported by the SFA, SPL, SFL, Police, Scottish Government and Supporters Direct.
 
In order to get more views I've published an online survey which I hope you will be willing to complete and pass on to members of your organisation as well as friends and family who would be interested in giving their views.

Survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7J8L6XG
 
The project is run independently of the Scottish FA but they have allowed me to use their website and an email address therefore some other information can be found on their website and you can contact me on [email protected].

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you would like more info on the project please get in touch.
 
Kind Regards,
James Proctor

Support Our Saints

With all the current uncertainty surrounding our club it is down to the supporters to stand up and support the club. Supporting St Mirren has always been a series of challenges and only history will show how we have coped and dealt with the current black cloud over the club.

We can only rely on ourselves and our fellow supporters to do this. No finger pointing, no stepping back leaving it to others, we all have to act as ONE and Support Our Saints.

This is time for action.

Please now:

  • Buy a Season Ticket or bring a friend to the first home game and beyond
  • Buy Club Merchandise, buy that strip.
  • Start buying the programme again or take out the subscription.
  • Get a Car Park Space if you can.

We all must generate cash going in the football club and now is the time when we need to Support Our Saints on and off the park.
