ST MIRREN have asked supporters for a voluntary contribution of £30 to supplement the loss of income following a decision to cut the allocation of both Celtic and Rangers.
Glasgow's big two were given both the away and family stand for fixtures in Paisley, but a decision was taken this season to retain all three stands for home supporters this term.
A supporter survey intimated that Saints fans were willing to support this initiative and as a result, the club launched the scheme.
It comes as Celtic announced today a reduced allocation for their away clash against Stephen Robinson's men on September 17. They will receive 1493 tickets.
St Mirren have also launched the Help a Buddie initiative where supporters have the chance to purchase and donate a match ticket for those less fortunate.
The club say The Tony Fitzpatrick Family Stand has been retained to give as many supporters as possible the opportunity to "come and be part of the St Mirren Family".
Each £25 ticket bought will be shared amongst some of the most vulnerable in the community.
The Help A Buddie scheme will run for the entirety of the 2022/23 season and more information can be found HERE.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
