St Mirren have asked their own fans to pay £30 after cutting Celtic and Rangers ’ allocations in Paisley this season – leaving Glasgow supporters asking why.
The Buddies announced earlier this summer that instead of getting the two stands behind the goals at the SMISA stadium, both clubs would have just one. To help make up the shortfall of this, a voluntary three-stand retention levy at £30 has been set up, allowing home supporters to help out their club.
This has left Celtic and Rangers fans irked as to why they can't pay similar cash to take in the match themselves. A statement on St Mirren's website reads: "As a result of the decision to retain all three stands for home fans this season we are launching our incentive for a one-off voluntary contribution of £30 to supplement the loss of income. The survey intimated that fans were willing to support this initiative so we invite you to contribute to this scheme."
