You have football supporters and you have extraordinary football supporters and nobody could argue that John Holroyd was an extraordinary football supporter. His booming voice with the distinct English accent will now be forever lost to us, but in his passing he left a legacy at Beechwood Park due to his untiring fundraising through his wee programme shop that sat on the terrace of his beloved football ground.

He went on to raise well over £20,000 by selling merchandise and match programmes gifted to him by his fellow Talbot supporters, money that went to the new enclosure, the catering block and finally the floodlights. Sadly John never saw the floodlights shining upon “God’s Little Acre” but thanks to him he made it possible that we will.

John was our adopted Welshman; he was our friend as well as our fellow supporter. He will be forever missed, and will always be remembered. Goodbye “Big John” another of the Talbot family sadly taken from us.

From the club, the BRC and the Talbot support our hearts reach out to John’s family in these trying times. Our thoughts are with you all.

CLUB STATEMENT

The Committee of Auchinleck Talbot FC regretfully announce that due to the current restrictions placed on the Club, it is our intention now to withdraw from the West of Scotland League for Season 2020-21.The fact that no fans are allowed into games, and more importantly players not being allowed to use changingand washing facilities will have severe implications for the health and well – being of both Club and players.The Club considered that the best and safest way forward was to pause the season awaiting the possibility of restrictions being eased, this sadly was not the result of the recent all clubs ballot. As a Club we have aduty of care to our playing staff thus the reason we have come to this decision. We will update our fans regards the recent sale of season tickets and our intention to return all monies receivedfrom these in the next day or so.Finally we wish to thank our fans and sponsors who have continued to support the club throughout thisdifficult time, and assure them that we will return as strong as possible whenever it is safe to do so.

Abacus the Nottingham based floodlight installers were at Beechwood to re-aim the lights to gain the correct lux level for our certificate needed for the SFA. When the remedial work was being done the BRC fitted bird spikes to keep the local seagull population off the pylons. The lights have been given the thumbs up and our certificate should be on its way. This has been a remarkable venture thanks to the cooperation between the club and the BRC and of course our loyal fans and sponsors. A special mention to Don Hamilton and Billy Harvey who managed the whole project, and who’s input was greatly appreciated.

TALBOT THANKS

Auchinleck Talbot FC wishes to thank the family of the late Jamesy McCrone for their generous donation towards our Pitch Development Fund. This was very much appreciated as is the continued support from the McCrone family.
