The Supporters Trust ran a competition for the under 16 supporters to come up with a name for the new Young Supporters Club.
22 entries were received and the winning name was "Airdrie Aces". Congratulations go to John MacColl, aged 12, for the winning entry. John will receive a season ticket or a football top as a prize.
Applications for joining Airdrie Aces will be available at the next home game (at the moment Queen of the South on 15th August). More information will follow soon."
Just a reminder that application forms to join the Aces will be available from the concourse of the Stadium at the Dundee game tomorrow.
All members names will be put in a draw to win a PS2 + games. The draw will take place at the Aces launch party which will be held at the Stadium on Sunday 4th October.
Thanks are due to the supporter who kindly donated the games.
Thanks to everyone who turned up to yesterdays opening event, we hope if nothing else it helped tire the younger kids out so the adults could get a rest.
The next newsletter is being produced just now and details of the Halloween party will included over the next issue or two. We will also add it to Saturdays program.
Thats also to Airdrie United for sending along some players, Frankie Lagana, John Baird and Alan Trouten.
Thanks also to Excelsiour Stadium for allowing us to host it.
<> Chris - well done to yourself and the Trust for organising this. Takes me back to the days as a young 'un when I used to enjoy a pie and cake at half time in the pavilion. Well done to the club & stadium too.
As for Halloween, I trust you will not be scaring the kids with frightening looking players - e.g. Andy Millen or managers - e.g. Billy Reid ?! <>
Really nice touch, going all electronic and stuff. Very professional looking. Nice to see some communication from the Aces; kind of puts the club management to shame...
