After Matchday 1

William Hill League 1 2024-25

PATRICK LAWLOR

Died 26th July, 2024 Aged 89
Born 18th November, 1934

A funeral mass for Pat will take place at St. Mungoโ€™s Roman Catholic Church, Alloa on Tuesday 6th August 2024 at 10am.

Thereafter to Sunnyside Cemetery to which all family and friends are respectfully invited.



A Director and past Chairman of the club, Patโ€™s grasp of
the game and his opinion and counsel were well
appreciated, indeed directors, managers, players not just
from Alloa often sought his advice on the game.
A great servant to the club, he rarely missed a game, home
or away, until his recent illness and with just short of 50
yearsโ€™ service was ranked as one of the longest serving
directors in Scottish football.
His charismatic personality and enthusiasm for the game
were quite infectious and his services generally quite
indispensable to the club for many years.
Although he took a back seat more recently Patโ€™s familiar
face will be sorely missed from the Alloa Athletic FC Board
Room.

Our deepest Sympathy extends to all Patโ€™s family.

Club chairman on four separate occasions:
2007-08, 2006-07
1996-97, 1995-96
1992-93, 1991-92
1986-87, 1985-86
Vice Chairman
2005-06 to Ian Henderson
1984-85, 1983-84 to Ronnie Todd
Alloa Athletic FC Director since 1977-78
Resigned 6th December, 2011
Honorary Director since 2012

Fantastic supporter of Alloa Athletic FC & Director just
short of 50 years.

Three Wasps added before League cup

We’re pleased to welcome the signings of Reece Mullen, Shay Nevans and Kane Thomson.

Reece Mullen flirted with the first team at the end of last season with a few sub appearances while still on amateur terms before a short and successful loan spell to Camelon Juniors. An impressive start to this preseason schedule for the central midfielder has seen Reece handed his first professional contract.

Shay Nevans and Kane Thomson were two standouts in the recent PFA Scotland Exit trial exhibition match where both caught Andy Graham’s eye. Nevans, 18, is a former Motherwell youth forward who has featured heavily in the friendlies with eye-catching performances while out on the wing. Thomson, 20, was previously at Queen’s Park from the age of 9 has already shown off his drive with winning a penalty and assisting in recent friendlies.

Welcome to the Wasps! The three prospects will all be available for the Premier Cup group stage campaign starting tomorrow against East Fife.

Paddy Connolly

We can confirm assistant manager, Paddy Connolly, steps down after an incredible 13 years of dedicated service to Alloa Athletic FC. Throughout the years Paddy has been a pillar of support and a common denominator in a golden era of success.

Paddy joined his ex St Johnstone teammate Paul Hartley as Alloa would go on to win the Third Division and gain promotion the next year to the Scottish Championship. He would take over the first of his interim charges of the squad after Paul’s departure and continued to assist Barry Smith, Danny Lennon, Jack Ross, Jim Goodwin, Peter Grant, Barry Ferguson, Brian Rice and last season Andy Graham.

To have spent 13 years at one club in football is an outstanding achievement for anyone, especially when you consider the ‘job security’ in today’s game. That alone speaks to the character and ability of Paddy, never mind the outstanding results on the park that has seen Alloa punch above its weight in the period of time Paddy has been with us. Paddy told us that his day job had given him more responsibilities and he couldn’t balance time watching his son with all his current commitments so it is with a heavy heart we say goodbye to a certified Alloa legend.

Andy Allan, Alloa Chairman

To be in the dugout for well over 500 games, 13 years at one club in this day and age is absolutely incredible and thatโ€™s testament to Paddyโ€™s character. He has worked under so many different managers but I can only speak from my own personal experience and losing Paddy will be a big blow. Paddy was extremely loyal and someone who would always give his opinion but most importantly would then wholeheartedly support the final decision whether it agreed with him or not, a skill thatโ€™s isnโ€™t as easy as it sounds.

Paddy informed me of his change of his circumstances just before pre season and whilst we are gutted to lose him itโ€™s also important we respect his decision especially after the service heโ€™s shown to Alloa Athletic. On behalf of everyone connected with Alloa we thank Paddy for everything he has done for Alloa in his time and wish him all the best for the future

We have to now look forward and Iโ€™m delighted to announce that a familiar face to many Alloa fans Graeme Holmes will become a part of the coaching staff.

Niall Marshall, Graeme Holmes and Neil Parry will be a very good team for me to work with and hopefully be part of a successful season.

Wasp 2000 Prize pool reduced

The Wasp 2000 Prize pool has been reduced further to reflect player numbers. As such one of the ยฃ25 weekly prizes has been removed from the pool.

Player numbers have reduced in recent years especially after Covid and we no longer have a 50/50 lottery on matchdays to cover any deficit in the main draw.

If player numbers increase we can return the pot to previous levels and help contribute to the running expenses of Alloa Athletic so if you would like to participate in the Wasp 2000 draw please contact fcadmin@alloaathletic.co.uk.

Waters returns to Alloa

We’re pleased to welcome back Calum Waters who last played for the club in 2016-17 before going on to have spells with Kilmarnock, Sligo Rovers, St Mirren, and Greenock Morton.

Left-back Calum, now 28, made 51 appearances and scored 3 goals as Alloa narrowly missed out on promotion in his only season at the Wasps but made a lasting impression in his time at Alloa.
