The big one of these was revealed in the Stirling Observer yesterday (22/07/2009) that the campaign team had made a bid to buy Stirling Albion Football Club. The initial bid placed by the campaign team matched Mr McKenzie's initial asking price for the club, reportedly £300,000. This initial offer was accepted by Mr McKenzie and a date was arranged for the details of the takeover to be hammered out at this meeting Mr McKenzie retracted the acceptance of the £300,000 offer made by the campaign team and at this stage Mr McKenzie changed his asking price for Stirling Albion FC, it has now been reported that the new asking price is in the region of £450,000. It is currently unclear why Mr McKenzie has increased his asking price but at this time the Buy Stirling Albion Campaign Team feel this asking price does not accurately reflect the clubs true value and have retracted any offers made.
This however is not the end of the road for the Buy Stirling Albion Campaign as the campaign team are currently reviewing the situation and planning the way to go forward to try and secure the future of Stirling Albion for the local community. It is hoped that in the future that Mr McKenzie will return to the negotiating table to agree to a takeover package that will save Stirling Albion.
