St Mirren is Paisley, Paisley is St Mirren!

St Mirren beat Livingston 2-1 with the home fans going mental, beating the home drum throughout!

This is 100% the best video about St. Mirren i've seen, i think St. Mirren are becoming underdogs in this league, we're playing amazing this season, smashing football, world class atmosphere, top 4 hopefully. Glad you enjoyed this wee town & this Club 😁👍

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thank you for the positive comments, more Scottish videos to come, will you finish 3rd????

[@jamz613]

@@mattthegroundhopper9242 hopefully but i think hearts will get 3rd and i dont think we're fully ready for europa league, conference would be good to get a touch of European football. But main goal top 6, top 4 even better

As a st Mirren fan I have huge respect for you two noticing the atmosphere as I was close to yous and so was in with the atmosphere. Thank you for coming all the way from London and I’m just noticing this is your first video so thank you so much. PS I saw myself in the video!😂

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Ross, it was a great atmosphere and would love to come back again soon, I’m glad you saw yourself on the video!

Glasgow airport is actually in Paisley, so is a bit confusing for people arriving there and thinking they're in Glasgow. The original airport was in Renfrew which is only about two or three miles away. Across the motorway from Hilington where they used to build Rolls Royce engines and put them in aeroplanes.

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

They need to put the word Paisley into the airport name 👍🏻⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fun fact: The Australian national team at the World Cup in Qatar currently has 1 St.Mirren player (Baccus) and another ex-Saints player (Mooy) in the squad.

brilliant video, i’m glad you guys had a good time we appreciate the thought and support and also great to see a win from the buddies. keep it up pal

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Murray, Paisley is a great town, really liked being there, I am a big fan of ALL Scottish football, not just the obvious big two clubs, up the Buddies!

[@alanmccaig7383]

Great video, I went to the old ground a lot as a kid when I lived up there, really good to see the new ground.

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks for the comments Alan, just a new housing estate I’m afraid where the old ground used to be, would have been great to have visited the original Love Street stadium.

[@AzulinhoAzulinho]

That was a good wee vid there man. Point of note, you were in Paisley from the moment your plane touched the tarmac, it used to be called Abbotsinch Airport which is part of Paisley. Glasgow Airport's address is Paisley PA3 2ST. It looks as if you just walked from the airport to the town centre... I do that when I come home from a flight! Usually just walk home dragging my wee wheelie suitcase 🤣 Thanks for checking out the Paisley Saints, the Buddies. Scottish football is small, but it's good.

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks for the info, maybe it should be renamed Paisley airport, Glasgow shouldn’t take the credit for everything. It was a good walk into the town but a bit wet, I agree Scottish football is very good, more Scottish grounds will be uploaded very soon.

[@scottweir3609]

I think you should buy yourself a st mirren away top it's a belter and come back support the buddies matt

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

I used to collect footy shirts as a kid but never owned a St Mirren top, may have to add to my years old collection.

[@johngould3769]

Great game, great atmosphere, great town. Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend at paisley.. up the buddies...

Thanks John for the comment, was a good game and a good night out in Paisley!

[@neoballast]

Glad you had a good time. The domestic flights can be a bit rough in the UK. Sometimes it's the weather, sometimes it's just the pilots getting their practice in before they're allowed to do international flights, though that's just my theory given some rough landings.

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Neo for your comments, either way it was a rough flight with severe turbulence, good job I have an iron stomach.

That was such a cool video guys!! I am an Arsenal supporter but I have been keeping an eye on St Mirren for the last 2/3 years as I follow the St Mirren womens team ever since watching a video of one of their players back then hammering her dislocated knee back in with her fist during a match! Having watched your video and another guys who did a blog last season I will see about planning a trip up this season like you've done. Bonus points for showing us parts of the ground like the names on the bricks and the club shop. I have been well impressed with how St Mirren have a family feel with a huge heart! Fans are fabtastic!! Both the men and women teams are doing good and hopefully they can both push a bit further up the league tables. Great stuff guys!!

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks Paul for your great comments, I am hoping to watch an Arsenal Ladies team in the new year, possibly against Chelsea in the WSL, be interesting to see what the atmosphere will be like there

[@paulmartin1521]

@@mattthegroundhopper9242 You're most welcome Matt! That should be a cracker - the women's game is a very high standard now and I hope to get down there also for a match. I'll look forward to the video if you manage to see the game!

Yeah there was a video of St Mirren playing at home and the guy showed the price list at St Mirren park. I think it was the Valur game.

livi never have any fans. that was a good turnout for them

[@mattthegroundhopper9242]

Thanks for the comment Lee, the clubs within the centre belt in Scotland are so close with a good road and train network I thought the away fans section would always be full, lots of local derbies. But if the fan base is not there for livi, it is not there.
