Binosfans indispute

Members of Stirling Albion Supporters’ Trust were due to meet yesterday (Tuesday) to discuss a proposal to oust the club’s chairman Stuart Brown.

Members of the executive board of the trust say relations between them and Mr Brown have soured.

An email to members inviting them to the meeting reads: “The recommendation is that the trust board call an extra-ordinary meeting of the shareholders of Stirling Albion FC with a proposal to remove the club chairman as a director of Stirling Albion FC, due to irreconcilable breakdown in relationships between the trust – representing the majority shareholders of the club – and the chairman of the club.”

Last night’s meeting was set to take place in the Mayfield Centre, St Ninians, and was open to trust members only.

Trust secretary Jim Thomson, councillor for Stirling North, refused to disclose the reasons for their differences with Mr Brown until trust members had first been informed.

But he told the Observer: “We have reached the point at which the trust and the chairman have developed irreconcilable differences and we believe it is appropriate to remove him.

“The trust board has the authority to remove him and that is our intention.

Mr Brown has declined to comment.
