A week is a long time at Stranraer fc

They say a week is a long time in politics and the same can be said of Stranraer fc in the last 7 days.A massive win at Ochilview last Saturday against Stenhousemuir and then on Tuesday the resignation of two big characters at the club,Director of Football Stuart Millar and Chairman David Broadfoot.The latter will be a big miss for the Gaffer Stephen Farrell if he stays at the club next season,as Stuart had loads of contacts at various clubs,and probably took a bit of pressure of the boss man,wether the same role is there next season will be open to question as clubs continue to tighten their belt in these tough times for football clubs,but I wish Stuart well in his new capacity as all blues fans do.The Chairman’s resignation was also a bit of a surprise and we move onto our 3rd Chairman of the Season,I wish him well.Now this Saturday at Stair Pk we welcome runaway leaders and champions elect Arbroath.Who would have thought back in August the Red Lichties would come to Stranraer in March needing in all probability 2 or 3 wins to clinch Ladbrokes league 1.They have been the best and most consistent team in the Division and deserve the title.As for the blues the previous 4 encounters with the Angus club this season have been pretty close with 2 lost,1 drawn and a cup win at Gayfield.The visitors have not been at their best in recent matches and one theory is that the season might be catching up with the ageing Arbroath squad,hopefully our youngsters can put that theory to the test.Our Manager could name the same side for a 3rd game in a row,quite a novelty for Faz really this season and hopefully capture the points against the League leaders.A decent sized away support is expected and a decent atmosphere,and with the blues not out of the relegation woods just yet,a good home crowd would be welcome.Then on Tuesday we have the insurance of a home game against Brechin City just 3 days after the Arbroath game.I feel we are a better team than Brechin and your blogger will be disappointed if 3 points don’t wing their way to Stranraer,this game has been cancelled twice and let’s hope it’s 3rd time lucky for the blues.And finally I saw this advert in a window that said ‘Television for sale,£1,volume stuck on full’.I thought,’I can’t turn that down.’’’😎⚽️
