Stirling Albion FC were formed in 1945 from the ashes ‘literally’ of Kings Park football club, after their ground was hit by a German Luftwaffe bomb in July 1940. Local coal merchant Thomas Fergusson was the driving force behind the new club and a new ground at Annfield, which was to be home to Stirling Albion until 1992. The club has enjoyed mixed fortunes over the years with high spots including: remaining unbeaten, away from home, for a Calendar year, with the league title secured at Links Park on 7 April 1991; the 1995–96 season, when the club went on a run of success and had the league sewn up by Christmas; and beating Airdrie on 12 May 2007, and gaining promotion to Scottish Division One. The low spots include: 1981 when the team failed to score a league goal for 8 months; selling the prime asset, Annfield, to the local council; and losing the 2nd division league title on the last game of the season at home to Dumbarton. The club have notched some notable firsts including: The first British Team to play in Japan, 1966; The highest scorers in the 20th Century, 20 -0 v Selkirk, 8 December 1984; and The first Scottish Club to have an artificial pitch. In May 2009 the SAFC Supporters Trust launched an ambitious campaign to buy the club. The club has been on sale for a number of years with no positive interest. This fan based initiative is designed to secure the long-time future of the club under a unique community based ownership. Check the Buy Stirling Albion website below for more details…
This is the chance of a lifetime for real football fans to own and help run a real football club. Stirling Albion FC is a professional football team with a fantastic heritage. The long-established SAFC Supporters Trust not only want to save the club- but to restructure it in a way that means Stirling Albion will not just survive- but thrive in the future, under complete community ownership.
The Official Website of Stirling Albion Football Club was created in October 1998 to give the fans of the club an up-to date information service. It is our intention at the club to give the fans a website that they can be proud of and one that can give them all the info they may need.
The Trust comprises an ever-growing band of dedicated and committed Stirling Albion Football club Supporters - and even some who are less dedicated and committed than others. We even have members who have never seen Stirling Albion in the flesh but who are anxious to see the Club survive as an entity in senior Scottish football.
Stirling Albion FC is a football club currently playing in the Scottish Football League. The club are nicknamed The Binos (Beanos), or The Yo-Yos (given to them by fans lamenting their habit of being promoted to a higher division one year, and immediately relegated the following one). They play at Forthbank Stadium in Stirling, on the outskirts of the city near the River Forth.
