Donations
20/11/04

The running costs of the website have increased this year and between this and buying a new flag for home and away games, we have almost spent our budget taken in by our sponsors. This website will always be free to every person regardless of the costs and the personal cost to the editor, but for us to keep improving we are trying to get additional funding. We have therefore installed a donation button at the bottom of the forum in case any website users wish to donate to the website. It doesn't matter how much it is as every penny helps towards making the website stronger and better. It also doesn't matter if you don't use the forum as it is available by clicking on the usual link or by clicking on the one below.Also,some people are a bit apprehensive about making payments over the internet,so if you would prefer to post a donation, then please e-mail at james@stirlingalbion.com for details. The only other option we have is to put pop-up's on the website which we really don't want to do. Also,if any business's are still interested in sponsorship,we have a limited amount of reduced sponsorship available till 31st July.

Stranraer Poster
20/11/04

People often wonder how they can help increase the attendance figures at Forthbank, well again the club are asking for your help to do this. On the link below we have a printable poster on a word document that you could print off and place in your local shops,schools,etc. With your help this could slowly help the club get higher attendances with the added publicity. As you will know, the current team is playing so great football and one that surely deserves a bigger audience. If you haven't been to a game in a while, why not come down to the next home game and witness first hand the good attacking football that Alan Moore is putting on display. If you come every week, why not ask a friend to come down with you or an additional friend to your group. These extra people coming through the gates could make a big difference in terms of how much cash the club will have to strengthen the squad in January and hopefully push us onto a second consecutive promotion.

Stirling 0 v 1 Berwick
20/11/04

This game was brought forward from the 3rd January and how Allan Moore wished he never bothered. Stirling started the game with a make-shift defence after Rowe, McNally and Devine missing the game through injury/suspension. In came Hutchison to the centre of defence and Paul Hay slotted into the back left position. Galloway was also dropped altogether and Ferguson was given his first start in a while only to see him limp midway through the first half with what looked like an groin injury. A spirited Berwick side grabbed the lead after slack defending in the first half and the Binos missed several great chances to equalize. Berwick tightened up at the back in the second half and did enough to send there small band of supporters away happy on this freezing cold day. Match report to follow.

Physio set to move
19/11/04

The Stirling Albion physio, Michael McLaughlin will be in the dug out for the last time tomorrow. Big spending Gretna have offered him a full time contract and extra perks to take over the physio's position at Raydale Park. This has now left the Binos in the lurch and may now struggle to have someone fill that position in time for the Stranraer home game. Michael only became Stirling's physio when George Cameron decided to call it a day last season, however, the lure of being a full time physio was to tempting for him.

Andy Gibson set for return
05/11/04

According to the Partick Thistle website and other sources, last season's on loan winger, Andy Gibson is set to return to the Binos. Gibson will be coming to us on loan until the end of the year and this will be a big boost to the Binos. Gibson was inspirational last season and some of the same again would go down down nicely. Gibson has been in and out of the Partick team since his return to them and so it would make sense for both clubs to benefit from a loan deal. It is hoped that Gibson will be able to make his second debut for the Binos tomorrow at home to Forfar.
