St Mirren Football Club Chairman, John Needham has released the following statement after the news that Director Alan Wardrop will stand down from the Board of Directors.
It’s with mixed emotions that I announce that Alan Wardrop has intimated that he wishes to step down as a Director on 19 November after over six years service on our Board. Pleasingly, whilst he will no longer be part of the Board, he has indicated willingness to continue his involvement in our St Mirren Charitable Foundation and running the 1877 Club.
"Alan has been a dedicated and hard-working member of our Board throughout his tenure firstly as an independent Director then co-opted as a SMISA nominated Director during the past 15 months. I have enjoyed working with him and witnessed his significant personal commitment first hand.
"On behalf of the Board I want to record our thanks for everything he has done, and continues to do, for the Club. As part of the St Mirren family, Alan has been a loyal fan all of his life and leaves with our best wishes for the future."
