St Mirren FC Origin St Mirren Football Club originates from Paisley, Scotland. The team, founded in 1877, plays in the Scottish Premiership and is nicknamed "The Buddies" or "The Saints," named after Saint Mirin, Paisley's patron saint.
Home Stadium Location Their current home is The SMiSA Stadium (also known as St Mirren Park) on Greenhill Road in Paisley, Renfrewshire. The club moved there in 2009 from the previous Love Street ground, also in Paisley. The stadium holds about 7,937 fans.
Historical Context Paisley lies near Glasgow in Scotland's west, and St Mirren has deep roots there, with black-and-white stripes possibly inspired by local rivers or abbey monks. They compete professionally and have a strong youth academy.
