Revised Hospitality Offering for Kingdom Suite

Launch of "Kingdom Club" from the 19th October 2013

Dunfermline Athletic is pleased to launch a revised package, following a review being undertaken of the relevant costs in offering hospitality in the Kingdom Suite, to ensure it can be delivered profitably, based on the likely match by match demand in the third tier of Scottish Football.

Following a period of consultation with regular users of the Kingdom Suite and other fans groups, we can now launch the "Kingdom Club", in time for our next home game against East Fife on Saturday 19 October. Entry price starts at £20 for Season Ticket holders.

The Kingdom Club will then run for a trial period, including the next three home games against Stenhousemuir on 9 November, Brechin City on 23 November and Forfar Athletic on 7 December. Feedback questionnaires will be gathered from attendees during this period, to determine the success of the new package and likely demand for the rest of the season.

The new package is designed be more inclusive and affordable for regular fans, but at the same time offer businesses the opportunity to invite clients to East End Park in a comfortable environment.

Key characteristics:
? Designed to be affordable (for the member) and profitable (for the Club)
? A "Premium" experience, which is also different to those currently on offer in the Rennie Suite or the Jock Stein Lounge
? Less formal than the traditional "sit-down" full complimentary package
? But, still, with a "Smart Casual" dress code
? Entry by pre-paid "ticket".

Package will include:
? The Club will be hosted by club legend Jim Leishman
? Ex-players in attendance
? Soup and a hot filled roll, on arrival
? Hot snacks, tea and coffee at half time
? Cash bar
? Pre-match interaction with Team Manager, to announce Team and tactics for game
? Chance to vote for Kingdom Club Man of the Match
? Post-match interaction with players; including presentation to Kingdom Club Man of the Match
? Access to Sky Sports
? DAFC Match Programme
? Upgrade to seat in Directors' Box (included in the price)
? Upgrade to pitch side boxes available for additional cost (on first come, first served basis )

Other Important Information:
For any supporters wishing to continue to have a "sit down" two or three course pre match meal, DAFC has made arrangements with Garvock House Hotel for this to be available on match days, so that it allows those supporters to still have access to the "Kingdom Club" by 2.00pm. Further information on this option is available from Margaret Miller at DAFC.

A number of supporters have already booked places for the Rangers game on 28 December, and we would like to make them aware that their existing bookings will not be affected by any of the changes mentioned here.
