How To Join
This season is the 8th season of the Young Reds. For those
of you who are unaware what the Young Reds is, it is the
official Junior Supporters Scheme of Stirling Albion Football
Club.
It is administered by a voluntary committee, with the full
backing of the Management, Players and Directors of Stirling
Albion.
The annual membership fee is £5-00 and members receive
several benefits . Anybody wishing more details should contact
Jacky Farrell, c/o Stirling Albion Football Club.
We are pleased that the majority of members have re-enrolled
this year but there are a number who have not returned their
forms. If you know of anyone who has not renewed their membership,
ask them to contact us. We would be interested to hear if
there are any reasons why some members have not re-enrolled.

The following members celebrate their birthdays
this month:-
Sean Sneddon 5th January

Soccer Sevens
The next block of Soccer Sevens will start on 25th January
at 6-00p.m. The cost is £15-00 and registration forms
must be returned by 21st January.
We would emphasise that only members of the Young Reds may
participate in the Soccer Sevens.
We would also advise that a register will be taken each
week and children should “check in” when they
arrive at Forthbank.
Away Trip
The Young Reds will be attending the
match against Dumbarton at Strathclyde Homes Stadium on
5th February.
The cost will be £10-00 which will include transport
and entry to the match. If any member would like to bring
a parent or guardian, a limited number of places will be
available. The cost for adults will be £5-00 which
will cover transport only.
Registration Forms have been sent out and must be returned
by 22nd January as we have to advise Dumbarton the number
of children who will be attending.
Ten Pin Bowling
The annual ten pin bowling night was held on 7th December
2004. 36 Young Reds enjoyed 2 games of bowling in the company
of members of the youth team. Afterwards each member was
presented with a selection box.
We would like to thank the following youth players for coming
along and joining in:-
Paul Donnelly, Chris Brophy, Sean Nisbet, Douglas Pender,
John Tully, David Forbes, Nathan Taggart, Michael Conroy,
David McLean, Scott Christie, Robert McSkimming and Mark
Hughes.
Player Sponsorship
This season the Young Reds are sponsoring
Martin Glancy. We are pleased Martin playing so well and
banging in the goals.
Admission Price
Admission to league matches this season will
be £4-00 and not £3-00 as indicated in the renewal
letters which have been issued.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Merchandise
This year’s free gift, a torch keyring, is now in
the club shop. Members can collect it by taking along their
voucher and exchange it for the gift.
The Club Shop stocks a wide variety of Albion goodies and
is well worth a visit. The shop was open during the Soccer
Sevens and we hope that it will continue to be open when
the next block starts in January..
Why not pop along and speak to Fiona who would be willing
to listen to any suggestions about merchandise which could
be sold in the shop.
Kingsmill Tokens
We have collected 1332 tokens and would advise
that we have placed an order for first aid equipment to
replenish our current stock. When we started collecting
tokens, we had envisaged getting some footballs and bibs.
However, we had to purchase new balls and bibs at the start
of the Soccer Sevens which means that we no longer require
these items. We have decided that first aid equipment would
be of practical use.
Again, we would like to thank everyone who contributed tokens.
