This Saturday it is the first league match between Dunfermline and Stenhousemuir since 29th April 1986. There have been 78 meetings between these teams. The Fifers have won 36, Stenhousemuir 22 and 20 matches have been drawn. The best Pars result was an 11-2 win in 1930. The Pars` last win at Stenhousemuir was on 26 January 2010 after being forced to replay a Scottish Cup tie they had `won` 7-1 two weeks earlier. Pars Calum Woods was suspended but was brought on nine minutes into the second half when the Pars were already 4-0 ahead. The penalty for fielding an ineligible player in 2010 was a replay on the opposition`s ground which Jim McIntyre`s team won 2-1 but only after extra time.
Even Calum had forgotten about the suspension
The last victory there on league business was on 14th April 1979, a 2-1 win that secured their promotion from Division Two with goals from Mike Leonard and Jimmy Mullin. That was six visits back however. The best Pars result was an 11-2 win in 1930.
