I am surprised by your decision to resign from the Trust, given your opinions on the Trust Board that was wise. I welcome your decision to stay quiet during the proposed mediation talks. I will consider my position on the matter but will make no promises.

I agree with you but it takes 2 to tango and while you have people like WCBoggs on here it’s very difficult not to respond to sniddy comments.

And ? While I am on here can I say I was less than impressed with your comments last night at the Trust meeting. I got the impression that most of those present were a bit pissed off with you as well. No doubt you will deny this but I really think you need to have a long and hard look at what you say to people and how you come across here on this forum WC Boggs. Clearly someone is pulling your strings in the background and I think most people know what I am talking about. It does you no favours and its not a good way to portray yourself or the Club for that matter.

What new war with Mrs McGregor are you talking about. ?

Well I did not find out about the Trust Board Update until I arrived at the meeting tonight. Having read it, the proposed changes to the Articles of Association of Stirling Albion Fc seem fair. Let’s hope an agreement can be reached and these changes being proposed are put in place as soon as possible.

Unfortunately Not, its the continuing saga that is unfolding at Stirling Albion.

As the person who submitted 3 resolutions to the Trust AGM for consideration by the members, I would like to respond the latest Rant by WC BOGGS. First of I would like to correct WC BOGGS comments in that their was collusion between myself and any member of the Trust Board in preparing my resolutions. That was NOT the case. As a supporter for over 40 years following Stirling Albion both home and away I was concerned at the way this Club was going. Stuart Brown having been in charge for nearly 8 years had in my opinion failed to get this Club out of League 2. Despite having a number of managers appointed and mostly sacked during his time as Chairman the Club was going backwards. Any supporter who attended Forthbank during the last few months of last season will know how the team after a promising start to the season had fallen away badly and were struggling near the foot of the Table. I felt that change was needed at the top and that is why I submitted my resolution to the Trust AGM. I would like to add that at the Trust`s previous AGM held on Zoom, I did submit questions to the Trust Board regarding Stuart Brown and whether the Trust Board set any targets for the Chairman to aim for. Suffice to say I was not happy with the response from the Trust Board on the matters and I DID say at the time that if things DID NOT improve then I would take further action. That is the reason I submitted my resolutions to the Trust AGM because of the way the Club was going. I made it clear in my resolutions why I was taking this action. I left it up to the members of the Trust to either vote YES OR NO for my resolutions. As many of you are aware , due to various things happening Dodgy Voting, a sudden influx of people joining the Trust etc, the Trust was forced to cancel the Trust AGM. thus denying the members the opportunity to have their say on these matters. Since then their has been a number of things said both on Social Media and indeed on the Club Website regarding these matters. We have had Club Directors publish articles on the Club Website saying that if Stuart Brown goes we all walk. Threats of scaremongering etc. Then we had the Gang of 74 (People mostly who had joined the Trust after my resolutions were submitted) putting forward a resolution to remove the Entire Trust Board without giving any reasons why they wanted them removed. This was deemed to have broken the Trust Rules and was refused by the Trust Board. Since then their has been various attempts made to cause problems for the Trust Board. The outcome of this is that their will on the 3rd of August a meeting of Shareholders to discuss the proposal from the Trust to remove the 3 Club Directors and replace them with a new Interim Board. The Trust will be implementing new Rules of Governance to make any future Club Director accountable to the Trust and its members

No vote for the Trust membership of the 3rd of August. Only Shareholders are allowed to attend. The Trust Board have proposed removing the 3 Club Directors and installing new Club Directors on the night. The Trust Board have already made it known 3 new Directors in a new interim Board will be installed, they are Neil Emslie Interim Chair, Directors Ian Allardice and Allisdair Dunn, both major shareholders in the Club after the Supporters Trust. Hope this makes things clear.

Agree the sooner we get rid of Stuart Brown the better imo

Agree isn`t it a bit early for the Pantomine season.

I would to think that the Solicitors would have had no idea as to what is happening in the background.

100% Agree with your comments, this mess the Club finds itself in SHOULD have been sorted out years ago. We are finally going to get it sorted out. I wish the interim Board who take over on the 3rd of August all the best. I think they will need it. I can see a number of people throwing their dolls out the pram when this does happen.

Couldn`t agree more with your post and for the point of interest the Trust Board have released another update explaining their position with regard to the recent letter from Stuart Brown published on this forum. I would advise all Trust members to read it.

Really a vandetta against Stuart Brown , I take it you have read the update from the Trust Board explaining its position in relation to the letter from Stuart Brown on Twitter and posted on this forum. If you have not I suggest you get a copy and read it it as it lays out the Trust Board position very clearly.

Well lets hope for another away win on Saturday, its going to be tough imo but after defeating Peterhead on Saturday the guys will be full of confidence. Would quite happy settle for another 2-1 win.

Nothing to do with me. Signs of a desperate Club Board trying to save their skin by the looks of it.

I would hope to get into the playoffs this season at least, mid table to me is just another wasted season. Goalkeepers Agree Blair Currie is a good solid keeper. Defence If we can keep Paul McLean fit and healthy then the defence should improve. Clark has been good, hopefully will turn out to be a good signing for us. Just hope we can avoid injuries to key players like McGregor/ Cumins. Midfield Think we lack a creative midfield player to create chances for our forwards but you never know the signings made so far could prove their worth in the season ahead. Attack A lot appears to be riding on Dale Carrick this season, if he gets the service and stays clear of injuries then we are in with a chance. Thompson don’t know about him he should be an asset once he settles in. Burns still to find his feet at this level, let’s hope he learns fast, could be a useful addition. Don’t expect us to win this League but would hope to get into 3rd or 4th spot. After 2 seasons of failing it’s time we at least made the playoffs. Whether we do anything if we did get to them remains to be seen but at least it will be progress.

Yes according to the legal advice the Trust Board received.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the fact is its gone on for far too now and their is no turning the Clock back and hoping for some sort of compromise, its too late in the day for that to happen. All we can hope for is once the Dust settles and the changes the Trust Board have promised to make take effect that the future of the Club is strengthened and we have a more Democratic Club Board who respond to the wishes of the Trust members.

Having read you Rant about the Trust Board and how its ALL the fault of the Trust Board including 2 certain members who you do NOT name, I would like to respond to your Rant. Any Directors who IGNORE, REFUSE TO COMMUNICATE AND REFUSE TO ATTEND MEETINGS with the OWNERS of the Club, clearly are asking for trouble. I have read posts of various Social Media platforms from former Trust Board Chairmen about how they tried to get round a table and talk to the Club Board only to be ignored is very worrying. Then when the Club Directors try through their gang of 74 to have the entire Trust Board removed without a reason, is it any wonder the Trust Board have reacted in such a manner. The time for talking is over and the Trust Board have taken action to remove the 3 remaining Club Bard Directors by calling a General Meeting of Stirling Albion Football Club Shareholders on the 3rd of August. The Club Board deserve what is coming to them on the 3rd of August. Whilst the Trust Board DO have faults, they have an obligation to its members to run the Trust properly. They have taken action to protect the Trust`s INTERESTS as the majority shareholder and owner of Stirling Albion F. That`s the facts as I see it.

Quoting from the Trust Update "Having taken legal advice , the first resolution in the notice will not be voted on because it is incompetent . Notice of the General Meeting of Stirling Albion Football & Athletic Club Ltd (The "Club") on the 3rd of August has already been given by the Club and, once given, there is no legal authority for this to be withdrawn or cancelled. The notice served on the Club by the Trust on the 14th June calling for the General Meeting which will be held on the 3rf of August therefore cannot now be "disregarded " and the proposed first resolution is therefore legally invalid". Hope that clears things up.

Latest Update from the Trust Board, re the meeting on the 26th July, their will be NO vote on whether to cancel the proposed removal of 3 Club Directors as it is deemed legally invalid. Only vote to take place will be on the 2nd Resolution to hold an AGM. So it means that on the 3rd of August the Interim Board will take over the running of the Club.

Really 2 sets of elected numpties isn`t appealing , what would you suggest the present setup. ? 5 Years is too long, maximum of 2/3 years for Directors imo, with the Chairman every 3 years. Well if the Club Board and its gang of 74 had not put in resolutions to remove the entire Trust Board with any reasons being given followed by Dodgy voting from a certain individual we would have had an AGM at near the end of the season.

Signed on loan from Livingston Midfielder Harrison Clark.

First of all, the Trust Board was elected by the members so its not a clique. Can you tell me WHO ELECTED Stuart Brown,, Lorri Graham and Colin Rowley onto the Club Board. ? If members are not happy with the Trust Board at least they can be voted out. Also any Trust members can stand for election to the Trust Board. Can you tell me how this works on the present Club Board. ? Clearly unless your in Stuart Brown`s clique their is NO chance of getting on the Club Board, NOT very democratic is it. ?
