Press Release
Football fans across the world are, for the first time, being offered the chance to become part of the first ever 100% fans’ owned football league club in the UK.
FIFA World Player of the Year, Cristiano Ronaldo, has pledged his support to the campaign.
The Stirling Albion Supporters Trust has created a novel scheme called ‘BuyStirlingAlbion’ which aims to buy Stirling Albion FC from its current owners and in turn help save it from going out of business and retain its position in Scotland’s senior leagues.
Stirling Albion FC has been for sale for several years and, with no serious bids forthcoming, is at risk of going out of business with spiraling costs and little sign of any investment. Formed in 1945, Stirling Albion will finish in 5th position in Scotland’s Second Division this season.
The specific amount required to buy the club is still to be confirmed but The Stirling Albion Supporters Trust has put an ambitious target of over 20,000 memberships from all over the world to generate money to buy the club and provide funds towards the ongoing operating costs.
