Club Statement

There is major change behind the scenes at Station Park to announce this today.

After just over two years in the role, Ross Graham is stepping down as Chairman with immediate effect due to business and family reasons.

Scott MurdieHe will be replaced in that role by Scott Murdie a Director of the ‘Loons’ since the summer of 2015.

Ross had intimated to his fellow Directors some time back that he wished to step aside from the Chairman’s position at the club and to be fair he has probably remained in post for at least a couple of months longer than originally intended due to the trials and tribulations in the football world of coping with the COVID 19 scenario.

Ross has agreed in the meantime to remain as Director to the delight of his fellow officials.

Scott assumes the role at the ‘heid of the house’ following a five-year ‘apprenticeship.’

During that time he has been heavily involved in many aspects of club affairs, especially on the fundraising front.

He has been ably assisted in that particular vein on many occasions by his partner Lesley a Forfar fan for more years than she cares to remember, in fact, she was one of the many supporters who accompanied the team on the never to be forgotten trip to Canada back in 1985.

Scott and Lesley live in the town and although he fully realises that he is taking over the reins at the club in very testing and trying times, he is relishing the task ahead assisted by his ten-strong Board of Directors.

Former Chairman Alastair Donald will remain in the Vice Chairman’s role.

All supporters will no doubt join the Directors in firstly thanking Ross for his efforts and no little financial backing over the past two-plus years at the helm, at the same time wishing Scott good luck and good fortune for the future in his new position.
