Further to the decision of the Joint Response Group (SPFL & SFA) to suspend all domestic professional and grassroots football, the SPFL board has today postponed the playing of Ladbrokes League fixtures pending any Government order and/or further direction from the Scottish FA.
The full statement from the SPFL can be viewed here.
We will continue to keep supporters updated as more information becomes available.
The Joint Response Group (SFA & SPFL) confirmed on Friday (13th March) the suspension of all domestic professional and grassroots football until further notice.

As a result, today’s scheduled Ladbrokes League 1 match against Montrose will not take place. Last night’s Under 20s match against Cumbernauld Colts was also suspended.
The club fully supports the decision to postpone all matches as the health and wellbeing of supporters, players and staff is paramount. We appreciate that supporters may have questions regarding season tickets and hospitality bookings, however we politely ask the fans and customers hold off contacting the club until a decision is reached regarding the remainder of the 2019/20 season.
In addition to the postponement of all football matches, the upcoming Supporters Club Quiz night (20th March) and Big Band Night (27th March) have also been postponed.
We will keep supporters up-to-date via the club’s official channels as more information becomes available.
We were contacted recently by friends & family of life-long East Fife supporter Ralph (Jack) Malcolm. Jack spent most of his working life as bus driver and often had the job of driving the East Fife team bus. At one stage of his career, whilst working in London, he even travelled home at weekends to attend matches!
Unfortunately, Jack had to give up his season ticket a few years ago due to ill health and we were happy to provide him with a signed shirt and were delighted when his son-in-law Colin got in touch with a photo showing Jack (now aged 92) with his signed strip.
We’re delighted to confirm the winning design for our 2020/21 home strip as chosen by you. The winner of the prize draw & claiming the personalised & limited edition first strip produced is Blair Maxwell. Thank you to everyone who voted!
