There will be a minute silence prior to Saturday’s League 1 match against Montrose to mark Remembrance Day. We are marking Remembrance Day slightly earlier this year as this is the club’s closest home fixture to 11th November. We ask that all supporters are in their seats in time to observe this. All current serving members of the Armed Forces will be admitted free of charge on production of valid ID.
Tomorrow we welcome Dundonald Bluebell to the Locality Hub Bayview stadium in the 1st round of the 2019/20 Fife Cup. Kick off is 8.05 pm with admission prices set at £5 for adults and £3 from under 16s.
Following this morning’s announcement, we can confirm that Darren Young was, with permission from the club, interviewed for the vacant managerial position at Ayr United. However, we are happy to report that it’s business as usual at East Fife with everyone focusing on this weekend's match against Raith Rovers.
We would like to put on record our thanks to our friends at Somerset Park for the way they have conducted their business &, as such, felt it was only right to delay any announcement until after they had finalised their appointment.
The 1903 Travel Club will be running buses to our away matches against Dumbarton (9th November), Airdrieonians (30th November), Stranraer (14th December) and Peterhead (21st December).
We have been drawn at home to the winners of the 2nd round replay between Lochee United and BSC Glasgow in the 3rd round of the William Hill Scottish Cup. The tie is scheduled to be played on Saturday 23rd November at the Locality Hub Bayview Stadium.
Admission prices and details of hospitality packages will be announced in due course.
East Fife FC are proudly supporting Show Racism the Red Cars Fortnight of Action. Many of you will have seen the campaign within football for many years; the SPFL and its member clubs have been supporting the campaign since it started in Scotland 16 years ago.
In addition to increasing the awareness of SRtRC’s work in Scotland, the Fortnight of Action from 4th – 20th October shows commitment at the highest level of Scottish football to eradicate racism and discrimination of any form from our game.
All professional clubs will show support over one weekend – Friday 4th, Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th October. Clubs will be united in calling for an end to racism in football and society. Players in over 40 European countries are involved in similar events as part of FARE network against racism and discrimination.
We urge fans to continue to support the anti-racism message; it is the responsibility of us all to ensure that it is carried out beyond the Fortnight of Action and beyond the terraces.
Vice-Chairman Dave Marshall is the club’s ambassador for Show Racism the Red Card: “Everyone at East Fife is proud to be supporting this year’s Show Racism the Red Card’s campaign. There is no place for discrimination of any kind within football or the wider society and we are committed to promoting football as inclusive & accessible for all. We are 100% behind this campaign and encourage all football fans to get behind it as well.”
East Fife FC condemn all forms of racism and any racist behaviour will not be tolerated within the club.
Show Racism the Red Card are working with grassroots football, community groups, schools, the police and prison service to ensure that going forward Scottish society and Scottish football matches should be an enjoyable experience for all, whatever their background. We all have a part to play in challenging racism in football and society.
