Stirling face stadium eviction - Stirling Albion FC

Scottish Second Division club Stirling Albion are facing the prospect of becoming homeless.Stirling Council has gone to court to recover what is believed to be about £100,000 in unpaid rent for the lease of Forthbank Stadium.

Albion are believed to be £1.5m in debt and have survived two winding-up orders in recent months.

A plan to sell Albion's naming rights for £50,000 a year was last month rejected by the Scottish FA.

Stirling have been up for sale since June, when owner and chairman Peter McKenzie announced plans to step down.

The stadium is owned by the council and managed by the local authority's arms-length sports development company Active Stirling.
