If Stirling Albion fold - what implications?
risk of folding means what? Today's Courier raises the possibility that, if Stirling Albion are liquidated as a result of a court action to recover debt then Brechin, as Div 1 playoff finalists - would replace them. Would there be any repercussions for Arbroath?

A little under 12 months ago Livingston were relegated to the third division after going into administration, leading to Airdrie United being restored to Division One and Cowdenbeath being promoted to replace them. As Division One play-off final losers, Brechin would take Albion’s place in the top tier of the SFL should a similar fate befall the Binos
