Disappointed that I couldn't manage last night. Do you know if there's somewhere I can see the minutes of the meeting? Or even just a brief overview of what was discussed?

sammytroot Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 There now appears to be a desire from Bayview Fife to sell their/his shareholding in EF . ie 102,768 shares out of Total Shares of 195,572. Bayview Fife hold 52.55% of shares. ie the land within the perimeter wall and the first 30 yards (quoted Eugene) outwith the ground. That is what Bayview Fife wishes to sell. It is NOT the land between the 30yards and what used to be the fence at the former Power Station. The days of individual owners owning clubs and hoping to make mega bucks from their ownership are long gone-certainly in Scotland. eg St Johnstone, Dundee, and Dundee United are currently up for sale. Community ownership is the way forward with clubs like Stirling Albion now being fan owned. Moreover the fans consortium would have access to funds from the Scottish Government by way of a loan which would require to be repaid. It should be pointed out the price which Bayview Fife wishes is NOT KNOWN. There would have to be negotiations between both parties. I would guess that there may have been approx. 100 people attending the meeting .Certainly the majority appeared to be fans although there may well have been members of the Community in attendance. The majority view , in my opinion, was to proceed with discussions. There were forms available to all attendees asking questions like eg 1.would you like to be considered as a future board member to join the committee bringing any skills you have 2.would you be willing to support the take-over by way of monthly contribution or perhaps ad-hoc 1 off payments or both. 3.help with fundraising 4. being involved in negotiations with the current owner. Apparently the average monthly amount pledged by fans of other clubs was 25GBP. Some paid 1 GBP whilst others paid more. Someone from Partick Thistle eg pays 50000GBP per year. Again no money was mentioned by way of the amount Bayview Fife wants or indeed the monthly amount which individual fans could offer. Irrespective of the amount pledged each fan would have the same voting rights ie 1 vote. EF Supporters Trust is to communicate with members in the next few days presumably asking -do you wish negotiatios to commence? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life on Marrs? Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Am I correct in saying we have won more league matches on grass this season, than artificial? (Just saying before our trip to Cliftonhill). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is because I made the decision to fund my season ticket by not going to away games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some turnaround for a team that couldn't buy a win on the road for the previous 2 seasons. As I alluded to last week, we are better on grass. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exiled Fifer Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Is it a coincidence that since Pat Slattery returned to the starting line up 3 games ago, EF have picked up 7 out of 9 possible points, with 2 of those games against the top 2 teams? Now I know PS is not everybody’s cup of tea as an attacking force, but he certainly puts in a shift every game and apparently has helped shore up the midfield. Long may he keep his starting position and things continue like during the last few weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Quick historical question…looking into a 14 August 1971 match at Starks Park, and wondering what kit East Fife would have been wearing. Raith would be in their Cobalt blue early 70’s tops, but I can’t find either East Fife’s 71-72 away strip or if they might have played in the Gold/Black. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty guaranted, unless of a colour clash, clubs would wear home kits in every game in those days. Ours was an all yellow affair with a black collar & effc lettering instead of a badge. www.historicalkits.co.uk is a great place to waste time reminiscing old kits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
