Topic: Reform needed
21. Author: Hunter78 Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 15:35 Cleveland12, Sun 9 Aug 13:17 What was wrong with the hospitality? Just the food? Hospitality in the Purvis Suite was shocking yesterday, quality food and portion size were a disgrace. I was a guest so didn’t pay directly but if I had I would have properly complained. Much better when you got soup and steak pie! Also need big Leish on the mic as well because this new guy doesn’t cut it Reply
22. Author: AdamAntsParsStripe Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 15:49 I’ve no doubt “things” are being done behind the scenes but the basics aren’t being taken care of. North West toilets need a big upgrade to produce more cubicles in men’s and women’s area. Peeing in a trough doesn’t bother me. It does its job and the sinks work fine. The tannoy system has been broken for years now in the NW so you only hear things if you’re standing near the Norrie. Zwei Pints Bier und ein Päckchen Chips bitte Reply

24. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 16:24 Cleveland12, Sun 9 Aug 13:17 What was wrong with the hospitality? Just the food? The quality of the food, the 3 poppadoms and nan breads to a table of 6, there is no designated seating or anyone telling you where to sit, and no signage to show you back to the lounge. We were also told at 10 past 5 that we weren’t allowed any more drinks. I’ve detailed things that could be done to improve the hospitality offering to the club, but I’ve done this before and received no replies. Hospitality has been guff for years and after that yesterday I think I`ll pass on any invite that comes my way in the future. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply

The host yesterday isn`t the new host that replaced Leish last season, yesterdays was a one off. Leish still does the rounds too Post Edited (Sun 09 Aug 16:44) Reply
26. Author: DJAS Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 16:53 Can chuck in the social media guy sitting on his arse when at the Norrie end. Would rather watch the game that I have paid for than catching it on our social media channels on a Sunday. Predictor league winner 2012/2013 Reply
27. Author: Lenstar Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 18:01 red-star-par, Sat 8 Aug 19:13 buffy, Sat 8 Aug 18:56 Good grief. Where about? Are the men’s toilets in the NW any better? I mind folk saying they’ve been bad for a number of years now. In fairness, we were saying at half time that the seats are very faded and tired, still do the job though. I then started having a look about, that pitch was looking good, they have spent a lot of money on that. Plus, I noticed the roof structure beams in the Norrie must have been stripped down and repainted, and were looking in good condition. That was certainly something I spotted last season as needing done, they were quite rusty and in need of some work. Something like that, especially due to the height they would be working at probably wouldn`t be cheap There was a team in on Thursday buffing and re-painting Reply

Then when that stopped everything the club now does is rubbish according to you I think I’ve had 8 visits in 10 seasons, all paid and no freebies come my way. I was a guest of a local business yesterday who supports the club pretty well and I was a customer when in business! Been called a lot but a hinger oan is pretty well up there and I’m 68 years old! Followed the pars for 60 years and contributed a good chunk of cash to the club in ST sales! I don’t think everything is rubbish either, read the thread and you’ll see plenty saying it was terrible. Quite the opposite for me just now as well especially with the playing side of things and I’m extremely confident of a top 2 finish. Reply
30. Author: Hoolie Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 19:10 The maintenance costs on EEP must be a a lot of money. They replaced steel beams in the stadium and made the pitch better so it won’t freeze under the main stand and goals in the winter..I imagine once you do this then other problems start so it must be a nightmare trying to keep the ground up and running to a good standard plus putting money into the team to get us promoted this season..

31. Author: NMCmassive Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 19:16 The main stand is old and costly to keep. I do genuinely believe things like upgrading the toilets will go a long way though - especially the ladies! Of course extra seats in the gents would help but generally speaking a trough or a tree is good enough for a guy. I’m sure the female members of the forum could speak to it better than me but I do think sometimes it’s overlooked in a male dominated environments. COYP Reply
32. Author: Hoolie Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 20:19 I just wonder how much would it be to sell east end and build a 10k stadium on the outskirts of Dunfermline? Reply
33. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 21:01 Hoolie, Sun 9 Aug 20:19 I just wonder how much would it be to sell east end and build a 10k stadium on the outskirts of Dunfermline? I think that it has to be the next sensible phase of development of the club if there willingness to invest. US sports teams tend to treat their stadiums as 365-day commercial assets, rather than facilities that only generate money on matchdays. The approach is particularly developed in the NFL, MLB, NBA and MLS. A new stadium may afford that opportunity. G Wardrope Post Edited (Sun 09 Aug 21:19) Reply
34. Author: Hoolie Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 21:17 Imo and I would hate to see EEP sold but a nice new stadium with the right facilities etc is definitely the way forward for the club. Us oldies will be like oh the history etc blah blah but you have to look at the future.. Reply

And in fact even if you have a car. Correct. You could demolish and redevelop East End stand by stand and at any given time the capacity would be fine. A move away from East End would be rotten.

37. Author: wee eck Date: Sun 9th Aug 2026. 22:00 Isn`t it still the case that the club doesn`t own the stadium? Reply
