Welcome to the Save Stirling Albion blog.
As you are all aware that Stirling Albion Football club is very close to extinction there have been some behind the scenes goings ons with various supporters organisations including the Supporters Trust, Supporters Club, the Young Reds and the websites connected with the Binos. All this started a few months ago and nothing could be mentioned anywhere until now due to legal implications but today is the day when they decided to go public. Now I haven't been involved in the behind the scenes talks and that but now that everything is public I will be doing my best to get coverage of the biggest development in the history of Stirling Albion Football Club since it was founded in 1945.
I hope to include all the latest updates regarding this as things develop. The only thing I can say just now this is a do or die moment as if we don't do anything to guarantee the survival of the Binos just now the club will be out of existence in a couple of years.
The final thing I can provide just now is the press release that was posted over at www.stirlingalbion.com as well as www.stirlingalbionfc.com and www.safcst.org.uk apart from that there isn't much more to say except if you want to see professional football continue in Stirling please come along to the meeting on Wednesday 6th May at the King Robert Hotel in St. Ninians, Stirling. Where all will be revealed to the world.
PRESS RELEASE
SAVE STIRLING ALBION
SAVE STIRLING ALBION
As we all know Stirling Albion Football Club is for sale. Chairman Peter McKenzie has announced to the world on several occasions that he is looking to step down and be relieved of his majority shareholding in the club. Talk of mystery consortiums has come and gone and despite the chairman hanging on for a white knight to charge over the horizon the offers simply haven't materialised. It's clear Peter wants out so maybe it's down to the fans to give him his wish. How do we do this though ? Peter won't give the club away and we need to show him we mean business and that we really are the people to lead the club into the future.
Therefore at this crucial moment in the history of Stirling Albion FC the fans have come together to act. Driven by the Supporters Trust, the Supporters Club, Young Reds, Websites and fans old and new have united. Backed by our own team of legal experts and campaign professionals we will never have a better chance of giving our club the future we all think it deserves. For months now ideas, options, proposals and suggestions have been discussed until a plan for taking the club forward was agreed. It's now time to get YOU involved and so we are therefore pleased to announce what could well be one of the most important meetings in our clubs recent history. For reasons of legality, confidentiality and publicity we cannot go into too much detail at this point in time. All we can promise is you will not be disappointed with what you see.
Where - King Robert Hotel, Glasgow Road, Bannockburn
When - Wednesday 6th May - 7.00pm for a 7.15pm start
What - Campaign for Community ownership of Stirling Albion
Why - We can’t do it without YOU!!
If you have any interest in the future of Stirling Albion and it’s place in our community we would plead with you to attend. We’re not too proud to beg. Please, please take the time to be there and to help play your part in shaping the future of Stirling Albion.
Bring a friend, bring your family, bring a neighbour. Bring anyone you know who runs a business in the town or anyone who has even the smallest of soft spots for the Albion. Everybody is welcome. Please be assured this is not a gimmick. This campaign has been months in the planning and is in our opinion possibly the one and only chance the fans and community will get to have a say in the running of their team. This is not about egos or making names for ourselves. This is about the long term security and viability of Stirling Albion Football Club. Hopefully this is something we all feel equally passionate about.
Look forward to seeing you on the 6th May.
