“When I was first approached to become an Associate Director back in 2014, I never imagined that one day I would be appointed chairman of East Fife Football Club - yet here we are. I am truly honoured and privileged to take on this role, and I fully appreciate the responsibility it carries. I have agreed to serve as Chairman until the next AGM in November, at which point we will take the opportunity to reassess the overall structure and direction of the club.
“With both Jim Stevenson and John Donaldson taking a well-deserved break, it now falls to the current board of directors to lead the club forward. It is a significant challenge, but one we approach with both anticipation and a healthy dose of humility.
“There is undoubtably a feel-good factor around Bayview at the moment, and it’s something we must continue to grow. It’s been heartening to see so many families at recent matches, and increasing youth involvement remains a key priority — the children are the future of East Fife Football Club.
"The support from the ‘Ultras’ has also been exceptional, and we’re eager to see that energy continue to build in the coming season.
"We’ve also been greatly encouraged by the quick uptake of season tickets this year — it's a clear sign of the growing enthusiasm and belief in the direction we’re heading. I’ve already got mine – Seat D-E-8 – and I can’t wait to be in the stands with you all for the coming season. If you haven’t secured yours yet, I urge you to do so. Every season ticket purchased is a vital show of support that helps us plan, invest, and push the club forward.
"I’ve been genuinely humbled by the many kind messages I’ve received since the announcement, and I want to assure everyone that the board and I will do everything we can to serve this club with dedication and transparency. I’ve always believed in being open and approachable, and I hope we can introduce regular open forums where fans can share their views, raise concerns, and ask questions.
"The last few years have been clouded by uncertainty and speculation around takeover bids, which understandably caused some stagnation. Now that those distractions are behind us, we can focus on a bright future — one that’s black and gold.
‘Mon the Fife.”
