Many, Many, Thanks to everyone on here who helped by buying a membership/sending in phones,etc,etc. Members now own part of a club.

Alright people,
Our chairman knocked back our offer to buy the club in July. Since then, the campaign has still been ongoing, whilst the club has been hit with a rent bill of £67k. If they dont pay this by the end of November, then we will get kicked out of our ground.
In the light of this...
Cheers mate.
I think it will have a long term effect on us as the SPL clubs wont snap up any talented players from our division for the usual £50-100k (pennies to them, but a lot of money to us smaller teams).
Both Andy and Jamie Murray have signed up for their £40 memberships to save their local club, Stirling Albion. This is fantastic news for us and it means we now have Ronaldo, Andy & Jamie Murray, Steven Caldwell (Burnley), Gary Caldwell, Carlos Alberto, Stephen Hendry (snooker champ), Nick Nairn...
We are collecting old mobile phones for recycling for the campaign. Not only does it help the environment but our cause will benefit by at least £5.00 when you donate your old mobile. It is easy and it costs you nothing to do.
Send as many old mobiles (removing sim card first) as you can find...

Thanks guys. There has been a few Alloa fans who have signed up, which is an amazing gesture.
seagullsovergrimsby- thanks for the donation, every £ counts.
We have had a great response from the people on this forum and it's greatly appreciated.
For those that cant pay £40, you are able to make a small donation on that website now. We have just put a "donation" button on there. Every penny would be gratefully received and would all go towards us buying and saving our club.
Many thanks for the advice, I will keep an eye out.

Just started a new season and we are on the look out again for a few new managers. If you are interested, then please e-mail me on mifthebino@msn.com and I will pass on the details.
