Back in 2004 when we were campaigning for Falmer and helping Wrexham save their club, I was approached by two guys from East Stirlingshire (they are not called East Stirling because they are in Falkirk, sorry to be a pedant!) who were trying to save their club too. I can only imagine there has been a take over since then. I also recall the owner and chairman of Hamilton Academicals was VERY supportive of Brighton and our Falmer campaign.

Wasn't there a someone Ford who was responsible for Albion in the Community or some such like in the early days?

Steve, if my memory isn't too wonky. Think he played for Lewes at one time, too.

I heard that as I was driving along today.
Ironic thing is that East Stirling are my Scotch club I taken an interest in their results for many years.
I don't know why, maybe its because they always do really badly although the last couple of seasons they have improved.
I saw a picture of their ground, its an absolute toilet.
The fact that their chairman is an Albion fan has given me a nice warm feeling.

The most curious thing..
Ground looks fine, albeit a bit small. I can't see the problem.

Fordy or Rear Admiral Tony Ford is a founder BHAlba and a great great guy. After commanding our naval sea fleet Tony took on the far greater and infinitely more challenging task of saving East Sritling. He was also, in a previous decade, a key component in the Albion survival movement.
World Cup 2002, he famously told his Commanding Officer at Naval HQ to ' f**k off and stop bothering me with tales of faulty trident submarines !'
He went on to state ' I am watching the England vs Germany match. I don't care what state that bloody submarine is in.'
I know , cos I was there at his gaff in Dunblane.
All the best to him, true Albion great that man!

Thats not the picture I saw of it.
It was from the outside showing the walls and turnstiles in a pokey back lane. You're right that picture is much better.

Steve played for Stoke and was involved in the Community scheme for over 20 years until he was s**t upon.
