Saw this on the TAMB .. Why no mention about this from you ?
"
East Fife were always a wee club, but have acheived great things in their 102 year history, winning the league cup 3 times, and the Scottish Cup once, in 1938.
Six cup finals in all. During the late forties/early fifties, they were never far from glory. Not bad for a wee mining town in a forgotten corner of Fife. As recently as the 70's, when I was wee, they were getting 3000+ through the gates every other week.
But my club is in now in crisis.
Nobody really knows who owns East Fife, or what their plans for the future are. The club is being badly run, and badly managed.Attendances are plummeting. The chairman,Derrick Brown, is an egotistical lying toad, who refuses to speak to the fans. We are leaking money left, right and centre, and finished 3rd bottom of the third division.
Last year a Supporters' Trust was formed, with the intention of helping the club, and getting fans involved. In only 1 year, they raised over £10,000 for shares, and tried to buy a modest stakeholding. But the club has REFUSED the money, saying it was unfair to individual fans!
We are trying to force a change of heart, and currently have over 600 signatures.
Please help us to save our wee club. Sign the petition.
