How do you rate the players Brought into the club since Drinkell left ?
Roy Guthrie - 50/50, David Urquhart - Players are of a good enough quality but need time to gel as a team if we are going to get back to Division One, Colin Wales - Most of the Motherwell crowd are poor except Brian Martin, you can see he has class,Chris Woods looks promising, Ally Graham is a good signing and the jury is still out on Chris Jackson. Steven Perry - They seemed quality buys at the time but they all seem to be under achieving a little. Richard Turnball - Martin and Jackson are quality players, Woods and Gow look OK, but i'm not to sure about Bell, McCallum, Clark, Donald. Unknown - They are beggining to improve but they ain't world class. Frode Solum - McCallum, Jackson, Graham, Martin, Donald all look good, so it is going to be a funny season. Kevin Croall - Most have still to prove themselves. Scott Jackson- Middle of the range. Graeme Anderson -Top Quality, but they are underachieved so far. Nik Shearer- I dont really rate them. Kris Jozajtis - Some good, some promising/adequate and some dissapointing. George Morton - Unhappy about the quality of the older players but I do feel the younger players must be given a chance, even if it means we stay in Division 2 for two seasons.Chunk - Average. Robin Bairner - Most are OK and should be able to help us up into the First Division.
What can be done to help the chairman financially run the club ?    
Colin Wales - Encourage local retailers to build up a profile of the club in the town. The Young Reds is an excellent idea, and as a teacher in a local secondary scholl, I can testify it is beginning to pay dividents. Steven Perry - A whipround in the pub. UnKnown - Bring a friend to all home matches. Jonathan Savage  - A beetle drive. Kevin Croall - More people within the club should help Mr McKenzie and we have to continue to involve more local businesses to get involved.Scott Jackson - I think it is obvious that the youngsters hold the key to more gate numbers but I am surprised the town doesn't support the club in advertising terms, I certainly support the businesses that support the Albion. My Wife and I try to wotk our way round all the pubs that appear in the programme. Graeme Anderson - A wider range of merchandise. Nik Shearer- Bring in some bigger name players and attract some support back to the club. Kris Jozajtis - Most people associated with the club seem to forget that Stirling is a University town and that as much as 20% of the towns population are students. Hence, more posters around ( especially at the University ), and introduce student concessions. Chunk - More fans at home games.
