Show Racism the Red Card

East Fife FC are proudly continuing their support of Show Racism the Red Card’s Match Actions Campaign during Saturday’s William Hill League 2 match against Forfar Athletic. Show Racism the Red Card is the UK’s leading anti-racism Education Charity, working within schools, workplaces, sports, and community organisations to educate children, young people, and adults on challenging prejudice and stereotypes. Using the power of football is a powerful tool to initiate conversations about anti-racism and our club has supported their messages of tolerance and inclusion for many years. Now more than ever, the importance of active anti-racism cannot be overstated.

Across Scottish football, clubs will show their commitment to anti-racism over one weekend – Friday 18th, Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th October. This weekend also coincides with Show Racism the Red Card’s UK-wide annual fundraising drive, Wear Red Day, taking place on Friday 18th. On this day, individuals and groups up and down the country are encouraged to wear red and donate to show their support for the campaign and its message.

Billy Singh, Campaign Manager from Show Racism the Red Card in Scotland had this to say: "We are delighted once again that Scottish football is supporting our much-needed anti-racist message. With the recent race riots in England and the continued demonisation of migrant communities across the UK we all have a collective responsibility to challenge all acts of racism not only within football but in our communities, workplaces and social spaces. In our schools we have, on average, 50 recorded racist incidents a week and on our streets there are on average 9 recorded racist incidents a day. Thankfully in Scotland we did not have the race riots that they had in England but there are people in our communities that want to divide us. 

Football fans can be a force for good and by being active anti-racists we can change hearts, minds and lives. Please continue to support our campaign."

East Fife Captain Stewart Murdoch: “Everyone at East Fife is proud to be supporting Show Racism the Red Card’s annual fortnight of action again this year. Football is a sport that is followed by people across the world and matches should be an enjoyable experience for all, regardless of their background. We all have a part to play in challenging racism in football and I encourage everyone to unite behind the efforts to Show Racism the Red Card.”

Football is a sport that is loved across the world and football matches should be an enjoyable experience for everyone, of all backgrounds. Education is the key and since our formation in 1996 Show Racism the Red Card has engaged with over 1 million learners. East Fife Football Club are proud to support the campaign to reach their next big milestone and to ensure Scotland is equipped with the tools to challenge and eradicate racism from football and society.

Congratulations to Dick Campbell and Alan Trouten who have picked up the Glen’s Vodka League 2 Manager and SPFL League 2 Player of the Month awards for September.

Despite starting the month with a 2-1 defeat away to Stranraer, we bounced back to pick up consecutive victories over Peterhead and The Spartans to see us finish September at the top of League 2.

Commenting on his award, Manager Dick Campbell said: "It's remarkable that I am still able to win these awards but that is due to the hard work of my background staff and players. This award is as much for them as it is for me. As always, I am grateful to the voting panel for awarding me the League 2 Manager of the Month award for September."
