Dunfermline Athletic

Preview Dundee United

Wednesday, 24th Jan 2007

For years Tannadice was one of those grounds that Dunfermline couldn`t win at for love nor money but suddenly it became a place for celebration.

Lower Tier - £19 for adults, £9 for concessions.
Upper Tiers: £21 adults and £11 concessions.
Concession also applies for full time students with valid matric card - turnstile 15, lower Fairplay, for away supporters

Dundee United are one of only two clubs that the Pars are unbeaten against in this SPL season. That has to continue!

Tannadice is one of the more pleasant away grounds to visit.  Pars supporters are accommodated in the South West of the stadium and there is always a good atmosphere. United have come out on top in more than half the 27 meetings although the Fifers have won three of  their last five visits there.

Over the last twelve matches between Dunfermline and United, the Pars have won five, lost two with five games ending all square but the Tannadice form is not so good - just five wins from the 27 SPL matches there.

For years Tannadice was one of those grounds that Dunfermline couldn`t win at for love nor money but suddenly it became a place for celebration.

That started with the famous First Division `title decider` in 1996, and was followed with similar emotion when Jim Leishman`s side secured their SPL status at the same ground in 2005.  Then at the end of last season a cracking Freddie Daquin goal gave Dunfermline hopes (false as it turned out) that they could finish ninth in the league.  Mark Burchill`s penalty miss at Tannadice earlier this season meant that the Pars were denied their first away win of the season but what better time than this Saturday to remedy that?

Referee will be Dougie McDonald.  Only his second game of the season in charge of a Pars match, the first at Motherwell was a 2-1 defeat.  United had him in both games against Falkirk; both ended 5-1 against!

Come on ye Pars!
