1. Author: desparado Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 13:16 Just drove past and that SE corner, behind the Gym looks a right mess. Weeds everywhere and the advertising hoardings look like they are ready to fall down. It badly need fixed/Tidied up before the season starts….it’s the little things… What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply

Weeds everywhere and the advertising hoardings look like they are ready to fall down. It badly need fixed/Tidied up before the season starts….it’s the little things… Sounds like there needs to be a supporters work party. I’m sure there would be some willing and able volunteers. Reply
3. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 15:48 Isn`t there already a set of volunteers who do small but really effective tasks.riund the stadium like scraping up chewing gum and replacing the reserved stickers on seats? It`s that time of year where weeds just grow like mad so it`s probably on someone`s list. Equally, the sponsors/advertiser`s will be changing so maybe they`re waiting on that? Reply
4. Author: desparado Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 16:11 It’s the area on Halbeath road itself and it’s been like that for years so I have a feeling it’s not on the radar but it should be imo.. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply

6. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 17:16 Without stirring it up, I wouldn`t be surprised if that hoarding is unofficial. Fife Council is hopeless at taking enforcement action in Dunfermline. Take a look at the old.St Margaret`s works being used as an Alhambra billboard as an example! The club maybe doesn`t want to do much there in case it raises it to the councils attention. It`s just a wee car park behind it. Reply
7. Author: Malcolm Canmore Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 17:30 Pretty sure that little corner is not part of the land owned by the Club’s landlord. My dog eats meat Reply
8. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 17:34 Malcolm Canmore, Mon 29 Jun 17:30 Pretty sure that little corner is not part of the land owned by the Club’s landlord. The land was last purchased at the same time as the stadium but seems to be considered separate. I`d imagine both are owned by EEP Ltd as they were purchased in October 2013. Reply
9. Author: desparado Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 17:43 It did cross my mind that the Pars don’t own that area or are responsible for it but someone needs to step in and sort it out. It’s embarrassing…. But one thing that DAFC are responsible for is the guttering at the southside of the Norrie that is hanging down. I mentioned this last season after it was fixed ( allegedly). I would be getting them back to do it properly. It’s the small things…. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply

11. Author: desparado Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 18:23 Well they didn’t fix it. I see it every time I go to Aldis ….. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply
12. Author: evo! Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 18:26 I always felt that corner be ideal for some statues of the great players or something..depending on who owns it etc. Its a messy bit the now all right BEAST! Reply

The area in front of the old St. Margaret’s works is owned by Bill Fletcher who also owns the Alhambra so not a lot the council will do there. Reply
14. Author: desparado Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 19:05 Warnings then compulsory purchase orders should be the norm…. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply
15. Author: JesperChristiansen Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 19:19 The area on the corner is very much owned by DAFC and the advertisers pay a rent to the club for its use. The area was significantly damaged in storms over the last year and I believe there are plans for the club to revamp the area, but as with everything budget is a concern Reply

They clear up all the rubbish left after games, wash down the seats, scrape and repaint the safety lines on the stairs and maintain and repaint the barriers to mention only a few of the many tasks they undertake on behalf of our club.

The area was significantly damaged in storms over the last year and I believe there are plans for the club to revamp the area, but as with everything budget is a concern Budget ? Won’t cost much to pull up some weeds reconstruct the wooden advertising hoardings and just tidy that area up.. If I was the CEO and drove past that eyesore regularly I would be demanding it was fixed….its an embarrassment for a big club with big ambitions…. What an opportunity we missed in 2014. Reply

The area in front of the old St. Margaret’s works is owned by Bill Fletcher who also owns the Alhambra so not a lot the council will do there. He lacks advertising consent for it. Fife Council are aware but turn a blind eye. I`ll leave it to the imagination why that might be. Still waiting on that drama school opening along with the urban village and what about the dance school? 😬 Reply
19. Author: General Zod Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 21:06 A lot of the stadium looks a bit grim. The seats are all sun bleached, stairs need painted and that. Could do with a good jet wash! Reply
20. Author: Boomer Date: Mon 29th Jun 2026. 21:29 The area on the corner is not owned by DAFC the title passed to the Ford Dealership many years ago and I guess Vertu now own that strip of land. Reply
