Pars fans praised for continued support of DAFC as donations nearly top £50,000

The administrator of Dunfermline Athletic FC has called for the continued support of the fans as donations to the Club nearly reached £50,000 by Saturday. Bryan Jackson, business restructuring partner with accountants BDO, said that the response from the fans has so far been overwhelming but, with play-offs coming, a final push was needed if the club is to survive both on and off the pitch.

Bryan Jackson commented:-

"The response from the fans, PARS United, the Club, and the wider community has been overwhelming over the last few weeks. A special thank you must also be given to the volunteers who have helped collect donations to the Club. The fans have been unbelievably generous in donating almost £50,000 and this money has been essential to keep the Club going by paying wages and to keep DAFC financially afloat during April and May."

"The fact that the club is now facing play-offs to remain in the first division means that we need everyone to keep supporting the team in the coming weeks. I cannot stress how important it is that support is maintained during the forthcoming games. Jim Jefferies and the players have shown their commitment to the club on the pitch and the response of the fans has matched this commitment off the pitch. We need to keep up this level of effort over the closing weeks of the season to make sure that DAFC keeps its place in the First Division and has sufficient funds to continue to operate."

Bryan concluded::-

"As a thank you to the fans, and to encourage as large a turnout as possible the tickets for this Saturday's game against Forfar will be £10 full price and £5 concessions. Unfortunately, finances dictate that season ticket holders will need to pay but we will be able to give these loyal fans their usual seats in these vital matches. One final push is needed over the next month to keep this historic club going and, given the support the Club has already received over the last six weeks, I believe that the fans will come out in their thousands to boost the crowds this weekend and in the rest of the play-offs."
