Football Returns to Bayview - Part 2
Competitive football returns to Bayview this Saturday when Cove Rangers visit us in SPFL League One.
Whilst we welcome this with open arms, we are faced with hosting this game under protocols, to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus, that are even stricter than earlier in the season. With that we must ask ALL supporters to stay away from Bayview on matchdays. This particularly applies to our younger fans who, at matches prior to the most recent lockdown, had been climbing the perimeter walls to give their backing to the players. Whilst their support & enthusiasm is very much welcomed, this simply cannot happen once we start back playing.
The Club is faced now with employing stewards to ensure that this does not happen, an expense that we can ill afford at this time, therefore the co-operation of ALL fans in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Like everyone else, we are desperate to see fans back inside Bayview but until this is allowed, we hope that you will understand & work with us to help us ensure we have no breaches in protocol that could have serious repercussions for the Club.

Chairman's Update - 4th March 2021
As usual I Hope this message finds you safe and well.
As you are aware, League 1 and 2 clubs have been given permission and have agreed to restart our season that was suspended in January. Like all teams, we are excited about the resumption but as things stand, we still await confirmation of the final format for our league fixtures.
The SPFL has still to confirm whether we will be playing 18 or 22 matches, but rest assured we are already gearing up to hit the ground running. All of our playing squad, management and backroom staff are tonight having their PCR testing carried out by an approved company. The results will be submitted to the SFA tomorrow at which point we would expect to be given the green light to restart training this weekend. Darren and his management team have been anticipating and planning for this from the moment the campaign was suspended, and the players will face a rigorous but measured couple of weeks of training ahead of our first game, which all being well will be on Saturday 20th March.
Plans are also well advanced for augmenting the paying squad for what will be a hectic schedule in the weeks ahead. As soon as out fixtures are confirmed I will update you further.
Yours in sport
Jim Stevenson
Chairman
