Scottish 3rd

Next Sunday 18:00 gmt

with the Start of our 8th season 2012/13

well done to McD on winning the 2nd, and also to Andy with Elgin finally he leaves the 3rd

Andrewbanny

After 5 years in the job and finishing 2nd in the previous 2 seasons and loseing playoff finals back to back, Manager Andrew Bannister took Elgin into the scotish 2nd division as champions for the first time in the clubs history..Chairman Derek Shewan told the local press that he was delighted with his manager and told him he could go down in the clubs history as possibly the best manager to ever grace Borough Briggs.Shewan also stated that the clubs has plans to improve training facilities and with an excellent cub run last season finances are good and a pleasing transfer budget will be given to the manager to strenghted the squad for next season..The clubs wage budget has also be increased which will enable the manager to keep the clubs star players like gary woods who won 3rd player of the year for the 2nd year running..
Shewan also stated that he is very confident that the squad is good enough to keep Elgin in the 2nd Division and with a couple of shrewed buys maybe exceed all expectations and go into the 1st Div..At the point the reporter smirked at Shewan who then asked him do you think that funny \o/..Impossible said the reporter..

Yet again
another season in the Scottish 2nd for Orr and Albion Rovers, after four straights defeats in the play-offs, with Orr being linked with Dundee and Morton its surely only a matter of time before Orr moves up to div 1 with or without the wee Rovers.

Stewart Roberston and Simon Hay have both left the clan.

Stewart Roberston aka Sav still plays with the EUC, but all at the SSC hopes his BF2 disc snaps soon, as he's sadly missed.

Season 2011/2012

With the main man being absent on Sunday, it was up to Assistant Manager Stevie Woods to take the task of guiding Stenny into a possible play-off spot. He did very well it would seem, after finishing in 5th place, only 1 point behind Berwick and 2 behind Forfar so with another win we would have made it into a play-off spot, but it was not to be.

After board expectations of not finishing bottom of the league, it's been a very good season for Stenny finishing 5th and hopefully we can get a good few signings in the door and push for a top 4 finish next year and maybe finally promotion.

We, as usual, did poorly in the cups with the following record.

Bell's Challenge Cup : 1st Round
CIS Cup : 1st Round
Scottish Cup : 2nd Round

We didn't getting thrashed in any of these cup games, so it was no big deal going out early in all though it would be nice to get further in one of them next season.

The following players left the club at the end of the season.

| Date | Person | To | Fee |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1.7.2012 | Roberts, John | Exeter | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1.7.2012 | Finlayson, Kevin | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1.7.2012 | Martin, Kevin | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 1.7.2012 | Clark, Luke | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 4.7.2012 | McGregor, Darren | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8.7.2012 | Lewis, Ieuan | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8.7.2012 | Richardson, Gary | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 8.7.2012 | Connolly, Aidan | Free Transfer | Free |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 15.7.2012 | Sagar, Joe | Forfar | £80K |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Getting 80k for Joe Sagar was good business as he had fell out of the first team this season for Peter Logan. John Roberts had played in plenty of games last season, but hadn't been up to standard. The rest of them only made a handful of appearances in the past year, so it was best to get them of the wage bill anyways.
I doubt anymore will be leaving as the squad is very thin just now so we'll need to bring a good few players in before anyone else is released or sold.

We have a very nice bank balance of 765k just now but the board are only releasing 132k of that for the transfer budget, which is still alrite. We'll bring in a few free agents this year as usual but for a change I'll be looking to get rid of that cash that's burning a hole in my pocket.

That will be our short term goals then, get a few decent signings in before the end of August then a long term goal of Promotion in the next 2 years \o/.

That's not too much to hope for, surely?
