| 41. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 06:30 The attendance was over 5k, which is pretty decent given the poor away support. I wouldn`t fancy moving from EEP. There`s something about going to the same place with the same routine on a Saturday that would make it difficult to move. That being said, St Mirren have a nice wee ground, and it probably costs less to maintain. The £200k that Cook mentioned didn`t include the upgrade to the pitch. The owner realises that we will lose money while we`re in the Championship. Even with our Cup run, which generated £1m, we still lost money. My question would be, how long is Bord willing to lose money before cutting his losses? This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 42. Author: Par Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 08:50 I suspect that we will need to get promoted either this season or at very worst next in order for Bord and Lennon to remain. Reply |
| 43. Author: jake89 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 09:05 There`s no danger of us moving to another stadium so continuing to maintain EEP is the only option other than demolishing and rebuilding the main stand, which would be expensive. The toilets wouldn`t take much to sort but it all adds up. Hopefully the feedback on hospitality is taken on board. Reply |
| 44. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 09:18 I don`t understand the suggestion we need to get promoted this season or next for NL and JB to stay, as if they had no control over it. NL has just agreed to extend his contract so presumably he hasn`t set a short-term time limit for promotion after which he`ll walk away. Reply |
| 45. Author: da_no_1 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 09:30 Hospitality definitely has not been "guff for years" "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 46. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 09:39 wee eck, Mon 10 Aug 09:18 I think that automatic promotion is the aim this season, however there is no point 8n being promoted to come down the next year. It has to he a sustainable approach. G Wardrope Reply |
| 47. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 10:08 da_no_1, Mon 10 Aug 09:30 Compared to other offerings around our size of club, it definitely leaves a lot to be desired. Especially considering the extra cost, it just isn`t worth it and hasn`t been for years. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 48. Author: wee eck Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 10:16 I noticed a big improvement in the hospitality package when it transferred to new management about a year ago. It`s disappointing if it has regressed since then. Reply |
| 49. Author: da_no_1 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 11:44 Sacktheref69, Mon 10 Aug 10:08 There`s a world of difference between it being "guff" as you so eloquently put it and it being worth the money. I`ve been loads of times over the years and it`s always been a brilliant day. "Some days will stay a 1000 years, some pass like the flash of a spark" Reply |
| 50. Author: Athletico Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 11:44 Hospitality food last season was excellent, attended twice and was not disappointed and the box upgrades that are ongoing are superb. There are issues that I think should be looked at. Twice we booked a box and twice they had the wrong number of table settings, you`re paying well over a grand so you would think at least one round of drinks on the house wouldn`t be a stretch (widely offered at other clubs), a direct feed on the TV for the pre match interviews would be a welcome addition, and they`re happy to come round flogging raffle tickets but absolutely zero attempt to tell you the results. As for wider issues at the stadium, it`s quite obvious they`re doing what they can - you only have to look around and see the improvements, but not everything is going to get fixed straight away, we don`t have an endless pit of money.

| 51. Author: Parsdaft21346327964 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 11:45 The thing I’d say about hospitality is that it’s really not meant for fans the way it’s built it’s a way to get business people through the door and hopefully get a few extra sponsors all the time I don’t think any normal fan would ever see the point in the extra cost for it Reply |
| 52. Author: Cleveland12 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 16:46 The special guest/former player draws the raffle and presents the prizes after the`ve been interviewed, so if you don`t know the results its because you never left your box to listen to them lol Reply |
| 53. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 17:09 da_no_1, Mon 10 Aug 11:44 It was guff, but since you weren`t to pleased about that I changed it so it didn`t offend you as much. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it. Reply |
| 54. Author: Sacktheref69 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 17:18 Parsdaft21346327964, Mon 10 Aug 11:45 That`s what makes it worse. Businesses who are considering spending money with the club won`t if the club can`t even get the basics, like a simple seat assignment, right. This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

| 55. Author: da_no_1 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 17:30 Sacktheref69, Mon 10 Aug 17:09 Show me where I said i was offended. Disagreeing with someone is different from offending someone. Offending someone would be telling them they were as bright as an eclipse or something along those lines.

| 56. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 17:37 Is hospitality operated by Thomas Franks? The DAFC website quoted Glen Banks saying: “We are thrilled to embark on this exciting journey with Dunfermline Athletic FC. Our shared commitment to quality and fresh, locally sourced ingredients will undoubtedly result in an enhanced experience for match day fans, conference guests, and eventgoers alike." I went last season and it was fine. Obviously not sure about this season. G Wardrope Reply |

| 58. Author: Johan_Cruyff Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 18:31 I`ve done hospitality a couple of times over the past few years. Living abroad its a nice wee opportunity to take my dad and brother to the game a wee bit differently. I enjoyed the food and service was good My only complaint was the sound system was terrible and couldnt hear the guest player speaker at all. Westie was also guest speaking and just turned off the mic and let his voice carry :-)  Reply |
| 59. Author: parathletic Date: Mon 10th Aug 2026. 18:51 Hospitality has always been decent in the past when I`ve been but at the weekend there we had 6 naan breads(or bits of a naan bread)for a table of 8 and not enough rice to go around so I ended up having a bit of curry with no naan or rice and that was all the pre-match food. I think they said that it was the curry club week of the season so I`m not sure if that made a difference to who provides the food? It should be easy enough to count the chairs and cater accordingly though. The board room platter looked good, perhaps catering were unaware the director was going to turn up until late in the day? It was good to hear from Lennon, Cook and Gilmour, it was just the food that let it down for me. Reply |
