For all Buddies, the 16th May 1987 was a very special day in the history of our club. Coventry City fans are exactly the same.
We have been in touch with a group of Sky Blues supporters who are keen to see the return leg of the 1987 challenge match concluded.
At this time of the year as both Coventry City and St Mirren embark on this season's cup adventures, we would like to note our support for this and have initiated discussions with the SMFC Chief Operating Officer and Club Board to investigate the feasibility of the second leg tie being arranged.

Best of luck to Coventry City in the FA Cup, as they move into the Fourth Round following their win on penalties vs Sheffield Wednesday last week. It would be great to see both clubs back in our respective finals and lifting silverware once again!
The first leg of the final, in December 1987, was drawn 1-1 at Highfield Road. David Phillips put the Sky Blues ahead before Kenny McDowall equalised for the Buddies.
But despite the tie being finely poised, a second leg scheduled for St Mirren’s former Love Street home never took place, with congested fixture lists and lack of interest primarily blamed.
Best Regards,
The SMiSA Board
