Dunfermline Athletic FC counting cost of wintry conditions

Dunfermline Athletic Football Club is one of many across Scotland counting the cost of the wintry weather.

The Pars’ scheduled home game against Livingston was cancelled on Saturday, and the club say Tuesday’s fixture at home to Inverness Caledonian Thistle has “little or no chance” of going ahead either.

That means that the club have not have a game at East End Park since the defeat to St Mirren on January 26 – meaning no gate money revenue for more than five weeks.

Chairman Ross McArthur told the club’s website: “We just need to be philosophical about it and get on with things.

“It is really bad luck, but it is outwith our control. The barren period is certainly not great for us, which will be reflected in our year end figures, but thankfully gone are the days where our club has a cashflow issue month to month.

“The Centenary Club is truly a lifeline in that regard, and I cannot thank enough our loyal supporter base for their continued generosity.”

However, the lack of home matches is not the only problem plaguing the Pars.

“Unfortunately we have also suffered a number of burst pipes, one of which in the Norrie Stand disabled toilet has flooded our dressing room area,” Mr McArthur added.

“The playing squad are having to train and change away from East End Park.

“In addition, unprecedented levels of drifting snow have infiltrated the seating decks, which has caused damage within the main stand in our offices and functions suites.”

Mr McArthur paid tribute to a number of board members and members of their family who helped to dig out the seating decks to avoid further damage, and also praised the commitment and dedication of the club’s ground staff.
