Into The Valley

[IntoTheValley]

Dunfermline Athletic F.C. are the latest in a long line of football clubs suffering from years of financial mismanagement at the hands of the blazerati, who have been masquerading as upstanding custodians of our proud 128-year-old football club.

 

Our club is now in administration and Pars fans are pulling together to raise enough funds to get us through the remaining weeks of the season.

 

One of our initiatives is a fundraising evening at East End Park this Saturday, where we will have a number of ex-players and managers appearing. We are also running an auction and raffle and we are appealing to the wider football community to lend us a hand.

 

You can do this by purchasing a raffle ticket for £5. Payment can be made via Paypal to: matthew_lafferty@hotmail.com.

Erm, no?

[BigAl]

Not sure you'll get too much interest on here

 

There are a right few items on that list you'd need to pay me to take off your hands

Like the signed Richie Byrne boots? He's a Dons legend min.. 

 

Ach I'm not going to knock this dude for trying. I'm actually envious that they're not as apathetic towards their clubs as I am towards mine. If I wasn't I'd probably do the same thing had the roles been reversed.

And in fairness Tyrant, I'm not knocking him for trying either just don't expect many folk on here to show much interest.

 

As an after thought, where is the infamous signed t shirt by Deek & Daz Dung, and why nothing from JC 

 

 

[Kowalski]

There's some belters in there.

 

A signed Alloa ball.

Signed Gordon and Sarah Brown books.

 

Good luck to them though.

 

I might have contributed if there was a signed sun tan bottle from JC.

 

[Stewart]

I'd have taken a signed Gary Dempsey shirt.

Bizarrely I have a signed Pars top somewhere stashed, unwanted golf booby prize!

Ok i'll come clean....I have a signed Cousins of William away top that I won in a raffle. In fairness I did once try to sell it on E Bay and failed to get a single bid

Get a camera, set the top up on the line, pour over with parafin, set the video camera going and set fire.

 

Put video on Youtube and monitise it. Money will roll in!

Tbh be honest, if Scotland needs to reduce the number of senior clubs, and I think it does, quite drastically, Dunfermline seems like a perfectly good place to start.

 

Why not bin Raith, Cowdenbeath and East fife at the same time.  One senior club should be enough for a place the size of Fife.

 

[Tyrant]

If one club was to remain in Fife I'd like it to be Raith since they have a chairman with his head screwed on straight.
