In all the excitement over Nott's County's survival, I entirely forgot to mention that my other footballing love, the mighty East Stirlingshire, scored and 3-1 home win against third-placed Montrose. Not only are such wins rare, but this one has particular significance for two reasons.
Firstly, it marks the last ever match to be played at the club's legendary Firs Park ground. A fitting tribute indeed. After many years under the Sword of Damocles, it's finally been sold to property developers. Next season (and for at least five seasons), the Shire will be ground-sharing with Stenhousemuir at Ochilview.
Secondly, for the first time since the 2001/2 season, they've avoided Scottish football's wooden spoon, finishing up ninth. The future's bright, the future's Shire!
