Alloa Athletic can confirm that Kurtis Roberts has joined Stirling Albion on loan until January.

The 31-year-old midfielder returns to Forthbank, where he previously made over 50 appearances between 2020 and 2022

Kurtis, who has been with the Wasps for the past three and a half years, has become a real stalwart of the club during his time at the Indodrill Stadium. He has made a significant contribution to the team and has established himself as an important member of the squad.

The midfielder is now returning to action following a spell on the sidelines through injury, and the decision has been taken to allow him to get regular first-team football between now and January.

Alloa Athletic manager Andy Graham said:

“Kurtis has been an important player for us over the last three and a half years and we’re delighted to have him back available following his injury. At this stage, the most important thing for Kurtis is to get back playing regularly and getting 90 minutes under his belt every week. Stirling is a good opportunity for him to get that regular game time, get back to full match fitness and enjoy playing again.We wish Kurtis all the best over the next few months and we’ll look forward to getting him back in January and having a look at where he is then.”

Everyone at Alloa Athletic wishes Kurtis all the best during his loan spell at Stirling Albion and we look forward to welcoming him back to the Indodrill Stadium in January.

Alloa Athletic Football Club is delighted to announce an ongoing partnership with Tulliallan Police College, with Indodrill Stadium set to host a number of police training exercises throughout the year.

Following the success of a pilot training event earlier this year, the club will now welcome multiple probationer cohorts to Indodrill Stadium as part of their training with Police Scotland.

The stadium provides a realistic environment for new recruits to take part in sporting event-focused scenarios, covering areas including managing large groups of spectators, the appropriate use of legislation and dealing with identified offences.

More than 200 police officers and staff were involved in the initial exercise, which saw instructors from Probationer Training bring new recruits to Alloa for a full day of scenarios based around a sporting event.

The partnership will now see similar exercises take place at the stadium throughout the year, giving future cohorts the opportunity to train in a live stadium environment.

In addition, charity events will also take place through the calendar year to support community work through the Wasp Community Club and The Hive.

Alloa Athletic General Manager Kieren Mooney said:

“This is a really worthwhile partnership for the club and something we’re delighted to be developing further.

“The Indodrill Stadium is a fantastic asset, and we want to make sure we’re using it for the benefit of the community as well as the football club. This partnership allows us to do that, while also providing a commercial benefit to the club.

“It’s also important to us that our matchdays feel as safe and welcoming as possible. Supporting the training of officers who will go on to work at sporting events across the country, including Alloa, is a positive thing for us, and having that relationship with Tulliallan is something we value.”

Sergeant Allan Burns from Tulliallan also added:

“We would like to thank Alloa Athletic for the use of the facilities which allows us deliver improved training to probationary officers. We look forward to continuing this partnership and no doubt this will develop further through time”

The partnership is another example of Alloa Athletic’s commitment to making the most of Indodrill Stadium away from matchdays, while building relationships with organisations and groups across the local community.

We look forward to welcoming the next cohort to Indodrill Stadium and continuing what we hope will be a long-standing partnership with Tulliallan.

There are two new faces heading for Indodrill Stadium.

Meet Buzz and Bella – brother and sister, and the newest members of the Alloa Athletic family.

They’ve been on a bit of a journey to get here, but they’ve now found their home – Alloa Athletic Football Club.

Buzz and Bella will be around Indodrill Stadium throughout the season, becoming part of our match days and getting involved with everything that makes Alloa more than just the 90 minutes on the pitch.

You’ll see them around the stadium at Men’s and Women’s matches, meeting supporters, getting involved with our community teams and making sure there’s plenty happening before, during and after the football.

They’re also joining the Wasp Community Club and floating into The Hive, where they’ll become part of the wider community activity taking place across the club.

This is the beginning out their journey in Clacks.

We’ll be sharing more of Buzz and Bella’s soon, including how they came to be part of Alloa Athletic and what they’ll be getting up to throughout the season.

Kieren Mooney, General Manager, noted:

“We’ve been looking at ways we can continue to develop the matchday experience at Alloa and appeals to everyone who comes through the turnstiles, especially our younger fans and families.

Buzz and Bella give us another opportunity to do that. They’ll be part of the football club, but also the Wasp Community Club and the wider work happening through The Hive.

We can’t wait to introduce them to you all and welcome them to the Alloa Athletic family!”

John O’Malley, Director added:

“One of the things I’m really keen for us to build on at Alloa is how we engage with the next generation of supporters.

Buzz and Bella came from looking at the match day experience through the eyes of a kid. We want young supporters to be excited about coming to Alloa, feel part of the club and keep wanting to come back.

It’s only one small part of what we want to do, but hopefully it helps us create the Alloa supporters of the future.”

Welcome to Alloa, Buzz and Bella.

We’ll see you at Indodrill. 

Alloa Athletic Women have now completed their League Cup group stage campaign, with a mixture of results and plenty of lessons to take forward as the focus now turns to the league campaign.

The campaign began with a narrow defeat to Murieston, with the team showing plenty of positives despite ultimately coming away without anything to show for their efforts.

Our second fixture against Carron Huskies proved to be a frustrating one, with the match awarded as a 3-0 victory to Alloa following a forfeit by the opposition. While the three points went our way, the circumstances meant the team missed out on another competitive fixture.

Instead, the two sides arranged a bounce game, with Alloa coming out on top in a high-scoring encounter, winning 12-0.

Alloa lead for large parts of the game against Central but ultimately fell short with a flurry of strikes from the hosts.

The following fixture against Cumbernauld Colts brought another disappointing defeat and, in turn, effectively ended Alloa’s hopes of progressing from the group.

The final fixture saw Alloa face Linlithgow Rose, with the team enduring a difficult afternoon. Alloa were forced to play with ten players for more than an hour, providing another challenging experience for the squad.

There were also individual positives throughout the campaign, with Amy Cully finishing the group stage as Alloa’s leading scorer with seven goals, while Nicole Smith followed with three.

Manager Jill Leiper reflected on the campaign:

“We’ve had a mixture of results throughout our League Cup group campaign, with some performances and results that were naturally more disappointing than others.

However, I don’t think the scorelines tell the full story of the learning and development this group has experienced. We’ve faced different challenges, identified areas we need to improve and, importantly, seen a lot of positive development both on and off the pitch.

We now want to take that growth into the league campaign. We’re confident that we can compete against every team within the league structure, but our focus will be on bringing all the different elements of our game together consistently.

If we can continue to build on the progress we’ve made, maintain our standards and keep developing as a team, we’re excited about what we can achieve and the season ahead.”

With the League Cup campaign now behind us, attention turns firmly towards the league campaign, which gets underway on Sunday, October 4, when Alloa Athletic Women welcome Carron Huskies.

The squad will be looking to put everything learned over the League Cup group stage into practice as the competitive league campaign begins.
