We all appreciate that this is a difficult time of year to be seeking your support by relaunching the Manager's Fund, but we all have the opportunity to assist Dick Campbell and his management team in enhancing our playing squad in the forthcoming January transfer window.
We are all aware that after an excellent start to the season, injuries have taken their toll on the current squad. If these players are to achieve our aims, they need help as well, to give us strength in depth.
Please watch the accompanying video to hear what it would mean to make new additions to the squad.
Every penny donated will go straight to assist the management team in financing signings. This will not be used to finance any other aspect of the football club. Dick & his staff have already identified several players they would like to sign, the majority from a higher level, but as you would expect, these signings come with higher costs.
The Board of Directors are working hard to find the finance, but this is now the opportunity for you, our fans, to help. Every little will help and we have set different tiers with differing incentives as acknowledgement of your valued support.
Every contribution over £50 will receive a personally signed ‘thank you’ from Dick Campbell. All contributors will also be included in a Manager's Fund Contributors Board which will be displayed prominently within the stadium.
The other enhanced incentives are as follows;
£100 – A signed ball from first team & Under 20s squads
£250 - Hospitality for 2 people (no drinks package) and player kit donation on the website & in 'The Bayview' matchday programme.
£500 - Hospitality for 4 people (no drinks package) and player kit donation on the website & in 'The Bayview'.
£1000 - A ‘Day with Dick’ for 2 people including shadowing the manager & full board room access and player kit donation on the website & in 'The Bayview'.
£2000 - Full boardroom hospitality for 4 people including lunch and player kit donation on the website & in 'The Bayview'.
£3000 - Full boardroom hospitality for 6 people including lunch, player kit donation on the website & in 'The Bayview', pitchside advertising board and match ball plinth sponsorship.
All donations should be made to East Fife TV via the following payment methods:
By card, Apple Pay or Google Pay (click here)
By bank transfer (please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. for details)
We can all be part of a genuine team effort to bring success to Bayview again. Let's help the team make a concentrated promotion push! Mon the Fife!
Bonnyrigg Rose 1-1 East Fife, Saturday 30th November 2024, William Hill League 2, New Dundas Park
East Fife and Bonnyrigg Rose shared the spoils last Saturday with a 1-1 draw at New Dundas Park.
Bonnyrigg started the game the faster of the two sides, although neither side could really escape from first gear. The hosts took the lead early doors through a magical Lee Currie free kick. He left Liam McFarlane wanting as his dead ball strike flew into the top corner past the outstretched goalkeeper.
East Fife had a free kick of their own just minutes later, though Jack Healy’s effort was right down the neck of Tom Ritchie. Minutes later, Healy had another chance, driving in from the right, although his shot was held by Ritchie once again.
East Fife could have grabbed the equaliser seventeen minutes into the game when goalkeeper Ritchie made the questionable decision to charge down Scott Shepherd who was not long clear of the halfway line. Luckily for the goalie, Shep couldn’t keep control of the ball after passing the goalkeeper and he was able to clear the danger.
There were a handful of half chances in the closing stages of the second half, although nothing of note, and despite East Fife having the lion’s share of chances, it was the hosts’ wonder strike that split the teams at the break.
Both sides would go on to start the second half fast, with Stewart Murdoch rattling the crossbar inside the opening five minutes of the second period with a header from a corner. Kallum Higginbotham would go on to cause some bother at the other end, with two cheeky efforts being denied, the first one was by McFarlane while the second was off target.
The Fifers finally got their much sought-after equaliser after 75 minutes, when Alan Trouten linked up with Healy to create a golden chance. A pinpoint threaded pass slipped into the path of Healy who dashed up to the by-line before sliding the ball across the box to an onrushing Jess Norey. The summer signing made no mistake with his finish and slotted home his first goal for the club.
Despite a cracking effort in the last quarter of an hour to grab all three points, it was not to be, and the spoils were shared.
Reporter’s Man of the Match: Jack Healy
