As fans will be aware we have been in discussions with the SPFL regarding the date for our Irn Bru Cup quarter final tie with Bohemians.
What has been agreed to date is that this match will NOT take place on Saturday 3rd November 2018.
We will advise supporters at the earliest opportunity once negotiations have been concluded. We appreciate everyone’s patient in this matter.
The club received a further update from the SPFL this afternoon:
"The IRN-BRU Cup quarter-final between Bohemians and East Fife, originally scheduled for Saturday, 17 November 2018, will not take place on that date as the League of Ireland Premier Division season will have ended. Alternative dates have been considered however, as yet, none have been found to be satisfactory. We will work with both clubs and our colleagues at the League of Ireland to find a suitable date, likely in early 2019, and will announce details in due course."
Sports Scientist Ross Hughes joined the East Fife coaching staff over the summer. We caught up with him before Saturday's game to find out a bit more about his role at the club
The draw for the Quarter Finals of the Irn Bru Cup took place yesterday and East Fife were handed an away tie against Irish side Bohemians. The tie is scheduled to be played on the weekend of the 17/18th November however supporters are advised to delay making travel plans until the date/time has been confirmed by the SPFL.
The draw for the Quarter Finals of the Irn Bru Cup takes place tomorrow at 1 pm. We have been assigned ball 5 in the draw.
