Author: kozmasrightfoot Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 15:06 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-14627953/premier-league-clubs-accused-pure-greed-charging-families-1-800-children-mascots-flight-games.html I always thought it would be free to be a mascot, some sort of lottery or letters sent to the club `hi,its my wee girl`s birthday soon,can she be a mascot please`. I really hope Dunfermline don`t charge,I`d be very disappointed in them. I know some clubs need all the money they can get just to keep the lights on, but mascot kids should always be free imo. As for the EPL clubs, shame on you. Pars fan. Magpies fan. Mens tennis fan. Alternative rock fan. Not a fan of much else. Reply |

| 4. Author: Kdy Par Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 15:43 Hunter78, Sun 20 Apr 15:15 Most teams in our league charge for being a mascot. Raith has done this for a long time. Our mascots are run by the young pars. Reply |
| 5. Author: P Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 16:25 Iām sure when I last looked into it for my son Pars charged so I didnāt bother although official website states free so maybe used to or maybe I picked up wrongly previously Post Edited (Sun 20 Apr 16:27) Reply |
| 6. Author: JTH123 Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 18:15 My daughter was mascot against the lino lickers last season and was selected because she`s in The Young Pars. There was no fee. I`d be disappointed if they started to charge but that`s football these days I guess. Reply |
| 7. Author: RhinoPars Date: Sun 20th Apr 2025. 18:42 Fans sponsor players and their strips. Perhaps we could trial sponsoring of mascots to help raise revenue while keeping this free for those who canāt really afford paying for this. It will be such a great day for any kid who is a mascot and can help cement life long support for the Pars. Reply |

| 18. Author: cammypar 1995 Date: Tue 22nd Apr 2025. 16:29 The young pars back in my day was unreal. You got regular nights bowling, quizzes etc with the players which in those days included internationalists. The players never seemed like they were forced to go with Dempsey, Byrne and Hunt "delighted to get away from the flat for a few hours". Nothing was a bother to the players and it was always very well organised. I loved it. Helen, jean and Christine did a great job in running it and keeping younger fans interested in their local club and giving the access to the players that you`d struggle to get anywhere else especially back in those days probably struggle to get it now. c'mon the pars Reply |

| 20. Author: JTH123 Date: Tue 22nd Apr 2025. 17:40 The Young Pars POTY bowling night is tonight. My daughter is sitting here all ready to go and can`t wait to get there and meet the players. Last year she was absolutely made up to be asked to present Ewan Otoo`s POTY trophy. There`s been a changing of the guard and it`s a new team running the Young Pars these days but they are doing an equally fantastic job and all my 3 kids (oldest has just turned 21!) have great memories of the parties and Sammy`s antics at them.
