Show Racism the Red Card
by John Stevenson
 Scotland's
long association with SRTRC, the anti-racist educational charity
which uses football as a focus, is reflected in this motion. Support.
The annual Show Racism the Red Card (SRTRC) Fortnight of Action
last year involved all of the Scotland's 42 professional football
teams in anti-racist events at fixtures.
Stirling Council UNISON threw its weight behind the Fortnight
of Action by sponsoring First Division newcomers, Stirling Albion.
The branch agreed to commission an advertising board at the club,
which will enforce a strong anti-racist message.
In 2006 South Ayrshire commissioned three advertising boards enforcing
our anti-racist message as well as sponsoring the Ayr United v Alloa
Athletic match and ball The boards were sited at Somerset Park,
Ayr. Portland Park, Troon. and Beechwood Park, Auchinleck. And John
Stevenson got his fotie taken with Hearts' Craig Levein and Mark
De Vries who later defected to Dundee United.
