The grounds on Love Street were registered as Fullerton Park for St. Mirren’s first season there as they were being rented from a Mr Fullerton. The record attendance is 47,438 for a match against Celtic in 1949. St. Mirren are currently constructing a new stadium, New St. Mirren Park. St. Mirren F.C. played their last game at Love Street, against Motherwell FC, on 3 January 2009.
On 16 August 2005 the Scottish Executive and Renfrewshire Council granted permission for the club to sell their old ground for supermarket development and allow the club to build a new stadium in Greenhill Road, Ferguslie Park, Paisley. The sale of their old ground will finance the new stadium as well as clear the current debts of the club. In April 2007 it was announced that a deal had been struck with Tesco. Under this deal, worth £15 million, St. Mirren moved to New St. Mirren Park, a new 8,000 seat stadium making way for a new Tesco supermarket on the Love Street site. Work on the new ground started on 9 January 2008 and was ready for the club to move into in early 2009. The new stadium has a lower capacity than Love Street,around 8,000 all-seated.
The last match to be played by Saint Mirren at Love Street – a 0-0 draw against Motherwell – took place before a sell-out crowd on January 3 2009.
