St Mirren announce season ticket freeze and tell fans they're needed 'more than ever'

St Mirren have frozen season ticket prices and told fans their backing is needed "more than ever".

The Buddies have put their 2020/21 tickets on-sale and admit they'll need a helping hand amid the upheaval caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The new Premiership campaign looks increasingly likely to begin behind closed doors but the Paisley outfit are still hoping fans will step up to ease the financial strain on the club.

A Buddies spokesperson said: “We are freezing our season ticket prices from 2019/20 and are again offering early bird discounts to those who are able to renew between now and June 30.

“We will also be holding existing season ticket holders seats until Friday July 31.

“Next season is still clouded by uncertainty and we must rely on our fans now, more than ever, to look beyond these uncertainties and continue backing the club in whatever way they can.

“We are asking you to 'Be in that number' when the Saints go marching in for season 2020/21.”

Speaking last week, manager Jim Goodwin said that St Mirren would be in a better position than the top teams to deal with the current situation.

He said: “I think the big clubs will be more affected by what’s going on than some of the other ones because we’re in a position where we don’t offer long-term contracts to players anyway.

"We didn’t have players on vast amounts of money.”
