John Hartson Foundation Benefits From Free Footy At Stirling Albion

An affordable football offer I've just caught up with took place on Tuesday night when Stirling Albion took on Elgin City in a re-arranged Scottish League Two fixture.

Having seen the game called off in December, the Binos took the decision that to turn the situation into a positive one, when faced with a midweek date for the new game, was to allow free entry with donations to the John Hartson Foundation.

And a crowd of 641 (around double what the club would normally expect) turned up, giving £2,368 to the cause.

Stirling Albion Operations Director Stuart Brown told his club's official website: "I would like to thank everyone behind the scenes who helped to make this venture an outstanding success. A huge thank you, also, to everyone who contributed to the amount raised – with a special mention to our Polish visitor for their one zloty!"
