JOHN CRAWFORD TO TAKE INTERIM CHARGE AT LINKS PARK

Montrose FC have announced that John Crawford has become Interim Chairman of the Gable Endies.

Following Derek Sim’s decision last week to step down as Chairman and Director, the Club have moved quickly to fill the seat at the helm.

John Crawford explained, “The Board of Directors had a lengthy discussion last night regarding Derek’s replacement and we felt we shouldn’t rush into making a permanent appointment for what is a very important position for the Club.

“To give us time to reflect and consider our options, I have agreed, as current Vice Chairman, to take on the role of Interim Chairman for the immediate future.

As a local businessman, John is well known around the town and has a long and deep rooted history with the Club having been on the board for over 20 years.

Honorary President John Paton added, “This is an excellent appointment for the Club. John will bring great experience and stability at a crucial time with the season just started and the transfer window deadline looming.

“As a Board it is important we stay focussed on matters on the pitch and provide our management team with as much support as possible and John’s interim appointment will allow us to do just that.”

Fans will be given the opportunity to meet with the Chairman and members of the Board in the next few weeks.

John is expected to be in post for the remainder of the season.

TACKLING CARBON!

PLEASE DONATE YOUR OLD/UNUSED BOOTS & STRIPS!!!

Links Park Community Trust have been successful in a funding application to Keep Scotland Beautiful's Climate Challenge Fund.

Our 'Tackling Carbon' project will involve a range of activities which aims to reduce our carbon footprint locally, such as a new 'Links Park Environmental Trail' education project for pupils in P6.

Another key feature of the initiative will be a 'BOOT & STRIP BANK' and we are now appealing for children and adults alike to donate their used and/or unwanted football boots and strips to Links Park Community Trust.

We hope to reduce the number of such items being sent to landfill, and in doing so, provide local participants of all ages with the opportunity to acquire second-hand football boots and/or strips for a small charitable donation.

Should you be able and willing to donate, please hand in your boots/strips to any of our programmes, or pop into our office at Links Park Stadium.

Montrose Football Club players (and LPCT Ambassadors) Paul Watson and Gary Fraser have kicked-off our 'Tackling Carbon' project by handing over their unwanted boots to our Project Officer Logan Cruickshank.
