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

The current block of Soccer Sevens started on 25th January at 6-00p.m. with 68 children attending. The numbers who have registered has since risen to 80.
However, we would emphasise that only members of the Young Reds may participate in the Soccer Sevens and participation in the Soccer Sevens is not an automatic. A separate registration form must be completed and there is an additional fee to cover costs.

We would also advise that a register will be taken each week and children should “check in” when they arrive at Forthbank.

We are also pleased to report that 16 children indicated that they would like to participate in the goalkeeping coaching offered by Scott Christie. This group has been split into 2 groups and will each receive 5 weeks of specialized coaching.

Away Trip

As part of the policy of encouraging members to go along to Stirling Albion matches, the Young Reds organized a party of members to go to the match against Dumbarton at The Strathclyde Homes Stadium last Saturday. At the time of writing this page, 14 members, plus a few parents, had put their names down. Dumbarton F.C. have very kindly offered a reduced admission charge for the children and we appreciate this gesture very much.

A full report will appear in the next programme.

Newsletter

Although the end of the season is a few weeks away, thoughts now turn to voting for the Young Reds Player of the Year award. A voting form will be included in the next newsletter which will be sent out to all members shortly.

If any member would like anything to be included in the newsletter, or would like to write an article, please e mail it to Ian Jones. E mail address is mijones@lycos.com. Alternatively, it can be posted to 10 Chattan Avenue, Stirling, FK9 5RD.

Player Sponsorship

This season the Young Reds are sponsoring Martin Glancy.

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.
