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.

Soccer Sevens
Following a short break for the school holidays,
the Soccer Sevens resume on 19th April and will finish on
26th April. On the last night, we hope to announce the winner
of the Player of the Year vote. The trophy will be presented
shortly after 7-00p.m. and any member who does not usually
come to the Soccer Sevens, is welcome to come along that
night to see the presentation.
Player OF The Year
A voting form was included in the newsletter
sent out in March. Closing date for voting is 16th April
but there is still time to cast your vote. This can be done
either by sending an email to mijones@lycos.com or by logging
on to the website, www.stirlingalbion.com, and send a private
message to Coach. Please remember to include your membership
number in order that your vote can be verified.
Free Entry
The Young Reds will once again be sponsoring
the last league match of the season against Brechin City
on April 26th. All members of the Young Reds will be given
free entry to this match.
A letter enclosing the ticket which must be produced to
obtain free entry has been sent to all members.
Discounted entry to this match on production of your membership
card will NOT be valid.
Last season over 140 members took advantage of free entry
to the Stranraer match and we hope for a similar response
this season.
Supporters Trust Quiz
The Supporters Trust recently held a Quiz
Night and the Young Reds entered a team. Unfortunately,
the team comprising Ian Jones, Stephen Jones, Steven Leiper
and Barry MacLean came 10th out of a total entry of 12 teams.
However, they did have the consolation of winning a special
prize for naming the most number of Stirling Albion players
who went on to play in the Premier League.
Despite the low finish, everyone enjoyed the night and we
hope to do better the next time.
Player Sponsorship
This season the Young Reds are sponsoring
Martin Glancy.
Merchandise
This year’s free gift, a torch keyring,
is still available in the club shop. Members can collect
it by taking along their voucher and exchange it for the
gift.
