Camelon Juniors FC are delighted to announce that Express Taxis will be the clubs main sponsor for next season. Their logo will be proudly displayed on the front of the home and away shirts in our centenary season.
Club Secretary Tony Smith commented “We’re delighted to announce this new exciting partnership and are really grateful to Express Taxis for their support. This is really massive for the club in the current times that we’ve been able to partner with such a well known local business that shares our community values.”
Andrew Buchanan, Manager of Express Taxis, said “It is with great pleasure that Express Taxis can announce that we are now the main sponsors of Camelon Juniors Football Club. Covid-19 has presented an unprecedented and unforeseen challenge to our business, but when the opportunity came along to be able to sponsor a club that has done so much good work for the local community, it seemed like a perfect match for us to get involved. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our fantastic drivers that have continued to work at this time and of course all our loyal customers that have stood by us. We hope it won’t be too long until we can all enjoy getting back out to support our local teams.”

Camelon Juniors are delighted to announce that our official Charity Partner will be Maggie’s Forth Valley. The partnership will see Maggie’s take pride of place on the back of our strips for what is a very special season for the club, as we mark our centenary year together with it being 25 years since our famous Scottish Junior Cup win.
The club will be donating a percentage from sales of this season’s replica shirts to help raise funds for the centre along with other fundraising activities during the season.
Tony Smith, CJFC Club Secretary, commented “I don’t think there is anyone at the club who hasn’t been inspired by Cammy (Cameron Shanks) with the journey he’s been on and the fantastic fund raising he’s done for the Centre. It’s really opened our eyes to the work that Maggie’s do and the difference it makes. As a club we want to help raise further awareness of Maggie’s and do what we can to help raise valuable funds for them.”
Speaking for Maggies, Cristina Pouso, Centre Fundraising Manager Forth Valley said “We are delighted and proud that Camelon Juniors have chosen Maggie’s Forth Valley as their charity partner. We wish the team all the best for the next season. This partnership will help us raise the money needed to provide our free programme of support to anyone affected by cancer especially through this difficult time. We have moved our support online to adapt to the current situation, but our centres are now open as people need us more than ever. Partnerships like this help us raise the funds we need but also to raise awareness that we are here with you when you need us.”
The Camelon Juniors u20s Development Squad is seeking sponsors for its home and away match kits.

The new owners of iconic local restaurant The Coppertop, Ian and Alexander, met with the Mariners chairman, Eric Henry, this week to sign up for a brand new sponsorship deal.
Having recently taken over the running of this local favourite, Ian and Alexander took little persuading to invest further in the community by supporting the on going journey of our club.
As well as having their logo on the back of both home and away shirts, season ticket holders will benefit too, by getting a 10% discount on food at the restaurant on match days. So watch this space for news of the release of season tickets for our upcoming centenary season.
Pictured here are chef and co-owner Alexander, together with Linzi, one of the front of house team, proudly displaying their logo on the back of the kit we’ll wear this Sunday. (Thanks to RJM for getting the kit updated so quick for us).
Thanks for your support guys.
If anyone other business would like to get involved with the club in this way, please email us on info@camelonjuniors.co.uk

Have you considered sponsoring us? We don’t mean for a sponsored walk or something like that! We mean taking the chance to promote your brand, company, organisation or even just yourself, by sponsoring different elements of Camelon Juniors Football Club.
This might be having your name associated with one of our players or staff. Or it could be a board at pitchside. Or even having your name on one of our kits. More information through these links:
We have a growing brand, filled with the positivity that surrounds a community focused club and we’d love to have you as a part of that. Get in touch to discuss options for you. Thank you
In the last two weeks, the club has attended due-diligence meetings in relation to joining the East of Scotland League. It’s still the opinion of the club that this is the only way to secure the clubs long term future, and may I once again state that this is a view endorsed by all at the Club. Our first team management and players, our youth development coaches, players & parents alike, have been coming forward in great numbers showing support for us undertaking this journey into the Scottish Football pyramid. Furthermore we’ve had so much encouragement from our fans. People that were once following us and hadn’t been to our games for a while are starting to come back out to see us at Carmuirs Park. We’ve also had a great response from the local community and businesses have been in touch to see if we need any help and funding through sponsorship. The support has really been overwhelming!
Camelon Juniors are moving forward and there is a real buzz around the Club at the moment. People are engaged with what is happening here. May I also add that the Club has secured investment for the journey ahead too. We currently have a team of local businessmen who are ready to stand with the club through this period of transition and beyond. The Club will also lean on their expertise when it comes to securing our club licence from the S.F.A.
I also understand that some people do have concerns about us moving, so allow me to clarify the most common questions we’ve encountered:
1) Will the club change it’s name?
No it won’t. We’re proud of our Junior heritage and our name will never change. Argentina’s Boca get away with it too!
2) Will attendance be affected?
Currently the average attendance for this season is 95 so it’s hard to imagine how crowds could possibly be smaller with several Junior Clubs moving over too. There are an estimated 14 Junior Clubs moving over – 4 of them we already play against and they have come to Carmuirs Park in good numbers this season. Kelty are averaging much higher attendances since they made the switch last summer and their chairman has recently testified to the benefits of EoS.
3) Will this affect the use of the ground?
The club has a new twenty year lease on the ground and it won’t be affected by changing leagues. If anything we will have more resources to improve our Facilities. Being part of EoS gives us a level of support from the league committee and it’s club members, plus they can assist us with grant applications and funding requirements. Currently we receive no help or support for ground improvements from the Junior Association.
4) Will there be more travel involved?
No. We currently travel to the Dundee area and beyond several times a season. We’ve looked at the teams potentially involved in our league and estimated traveling times are just the same if not less.
5) Will we not have any local derby matches?
I gather that some local Junior clubs have applied and also that others who didn’t apply for next season are submitting applications for the following season. We will have 2 competitions to compete in next season in which we can draw East Stirlingshire too.
Moving on, I am also pleased to announce the club will hold its AGM in the last week of July. Could members please update their postal details via email or by contacting a member of the committee, in order that financial accounts and other papers in relation to the AGM can be sent out in advance of the meeting. Please note only verified club members will be able to attend and vote at this meeting. Social Club members (due to it being a separate organisation) are not eligible to vote at the AGM, although the club would be happy to meet with them to outline our plans for the future of the football club.
Additionally, Club Members are invited to an East of Scotland presentation evening on Tuesday the 24th of April at 7.30pm in the sponsors lounge at the football club. If you are a Club Member, Coaching Staff, player or youth parent you are invited to this meeting.
We will also host a fans forum in May, so that supporters can be updated on progress of the club licence, SFA membership and playing matters. We hope to make this a quarterly occurrence so that fans are able to be part of the clubs thinking and strategy going forward.
If any member or supporter has any questions about the future of the club, they can get in-touch as our door is always open.

We were very pleased to welcome a new pitchside advertiser this week, in the form of Falkirk Vineyard Church who meet in the nearby Camelon Community Centre. As part of their Christian faith and outreach, they support people and organisations in and around Falkirk, and have made many links with groups around Camelon since relocating to the Community Centre in August 2017. Their Senior Pastor, Andrew McNinch, who leads the Church together with his wife Lorraine, took no time at all to approve this support of the Football Club for the next 2 years. He enjoys watching a match at Carmuirs Park – what he describes as “real and proper football” (well, he is a Liverpool fan!) – along with a pie and a cup of bovril, but more than that, as a Community focused church, he was more than happy, along with the trustees of the Church, to financially support a Community focused football club.
For the club, Chairman Alex Graham says “we’re really grateful for all our sponsors and advertisers. There’s not a lot of money around in the Junior League so this help is really beneficial for the club and we’d love to welcome even more companies or organisations to support us in this way. It’s great too when they can offer that wee bit more as well in terms of developing our place as a local community club.”
In addition to providing sponsorship by placing this pitchside board at Carmuirs Park, Falkirk Vineyard Church also provide and support our Club Chaplain, Dan Rous, who has been with the club for a few months. He is a member of the Church and a Camelon resident, and is serving and supporting the club at all levels as required, and helping to build links in the community. He’s a regular face at our Thursday training sessions and at all home games, plus attends to a number of tasks behind the scenes including running our Social Media. He is there to lend a confidential listening ear to players, management and committee alike, and to provide an encouraging word when needed. Sports Chaplaincy is growing across the Sport, with over 110 chaplains in football clubs in Scotland alone. We at Camelon Juniors FC are very pleased to be benefiting from Dan’s voluntary support of everyone at the club.
Chaplain Dan is pictured here with Senior Pastor Andrew McNinch, Falkirk Vineyard Church (left) and Alex Graham, Camelon Juniors Chairman (centre) at the new advertising board.
