Bonnyriggs price will probably encourage people to buy tickets and get more people in there ground.I don’t see the logic in East Fifes season ticket pricing .It’s clearly not encouraging fans to buy tickets.
Bonnyrigg would need to have an average crowd 40% higher than ours to be bringing in the same amount at the gate.
I'm not in favour of our prices either, but if we're paying that much, we should have a better playing budget than others.
A few decent signings would encourage ticket sales & a winning team puts bums on seats.

I see Bonnyrigg have an adult season ticket for £160. Makes our decision to nearly double that price embarrassing and laughable.
Surely with our high prices, one of the better crowds - if we're doing well, a Derby with Dunfermline & possible fee if Jude Smith leaves, you'd like to think all that would translate into one of the more competitive budgets in the league. Hoping we see this in the next couple of weeks in terms of signings.

Good signing that.

Higgins was getting on a bit, but I thought with the drop down a level, we might persuade him to stay another season. His experience was vital. Wonder if we've kept Dunlop's phone number?
Hope that exit door is now firmly closed, and we don't end up in a situation like last year with target's changing minds at the last minute. Now we know exactly what we need & with the manager, "leaving no stone unturned", we hopefully hear of some arrivals in the coming weeks.

Yeah, he's staying loyal to the players who have let him down in the past!

Who's he signing next, Mark Docherty?
The inability to defend a corner will be The Bino's downfall next season then!

Aren't most players at other clubs signed up until 31st of May?
Trying not to panic here, we've maybe got used to Darren Young doing his business early. Always seemed under him every Tuesday & Thursday another 2 or 3 would sign.

Walked past Stevie Crawford at the Cowden v Bonnyrigg game yesterday. Could only imagine he was there to view the standard of opposition and not with a view to scouting talent. There wasn't any. Bonnyrigg look like a 12 pointer next season. Pretty poor stuff and think they'll struggle. We were bad this season, really bad but I hope to god we're not that bad.
Christ, he seems to have been at every game going these last 2 weeks. He did say he'd leave no stone unturned, credit where its due -he's turning a hellva lot of stones!

Brett Long!!!!! Well that is a superb signing for you guys. Don’t know why we (East Fife) ever let him go and we certainly didn’t replace him with as good a keeper last season. He played against us in the league and in most league matches for Peterhead so not sure why they are letting him move on.
Cracking goalkeeper at this level. Does he not stay in Motherwell? If so, that, & the offer of a 2 year deal is probably the reason why he's leaving for Dumbarton.

Crawford was in the Mo end at yesterday’s game. Maybe looking at some of the out of contract Mo players?
He was at Edin City v Dumbarton in midweek. That's 20 goals he's seen scored in the last week.
Let's hope he's looking from an offensive position , rather than defensive!

Maybe reading too much into it, but Kev saying, "time to move on, from East Fife" does that mean he's going elsewhere? I thought he'd be retiring, might be Lowland. Eitherway been a great servant, all the best, whatever you are doing next.
Thought Dunlop would've done a job for us in league 2, the others aren't surprising. I'd asume the rest are all either tied up for another year, or been offered a contract from the club. We all knew big changes would be needed.

Can't say I'm surprised with any of the exodus so far. Did we not pay a fee for Higgins? Suppose we'll not recoup any of that.
When I think of my top 5 memories of following East Fife, Dunsy features in 2 of them; his 92nd minute winner against Raith obviously, & his' winning penalty v Hearts. Him running up to the Hearts 'keeper & saying something along the lines of, "Get it up ye, ye Jambo B*****D" before celebrating, a Hibee to the core! Really thought he'd get back to a full time club, but like most of our team, the drop since covid has been pretty spectacular.
Just don't come back to haunt us!

Of all the players out of contract,Ross is the guy I would have liked to stay.
Good luck to him.
Yeah, got to echo that. Did think it unlikely he'd drop down to league 2. Thanks for everything Ross, you'll be missed. Expect a lot more to follow in the coming weeks.

Had we stayed up, next season would be just as much a struggle. Fingers crossed we make the correct decisions & can make our say in the Pishy league a short, but successful one.

Why would potentially premiership bound Bobby linn drop down to league 2? Pretty loved at arbroath even if they stay in the championship. Easton and higginbotham dropped down due to the money on offer as well, I'm not sure east Fife could offer that level of money. Seasons not even finished and its silly season apparently.
As I said, Easton & Higginbotham were not likely, it's also unlikely we'll push the boat out anyway, think our budget will be tight. Bobby Linn previously played with us & I understand is now 35 & not been getting much game time at Arbroath, can't seen that him being a regular in the top flight, although I'd love to see Arbroath getting there.

Pat Slattery does not seem to have been Crawford's favourite player.
With regard to players whose contracts expire this season ,I would not mind Ross Davidson being retained,subject to his injury being cleared up.I was also impressed with Danny Swanson's performance v Peterhead.Ultimately up to the manager to decide and for the players to consider any offer made by the club.
Sadly that does seem to be the case with Pat Slatt. I would definitely try to keep Davidson & now we've dropped down a level, Chris Higgins mayhave another season in him. Dunlop should also do well in league 2.
Would love to see us push the boat out for someone creative which we've missed since Agnew left. Both Dylan Easton & Kallum Higginbotham have previously dropped down the leagues, but that's not likely to happen. Bobby Linn maybe?

Apologies for throwing in a serious suggestion, but why is Ian Murray not in the running?

Going to be bold here. I reckon with the pressure off the players and with the despondent mood of EF fans, we'll manage to get a couple of wins against Falkirk/P'head completely out of the blue, and Dumbarton will lose their next two against Cove/Airdrie before the decisive last game of the season. Let's have it!
Quite possible, but can we really rely on Clyde beating Dumbarton on the last day?

Looks like Rennie wasn't the saviour after all. Death of a salesman!

This game should be branded, The Battle of Who Could Care Less.
After matching Falkirk for 3 games so far & getting nothing, the law of averages would suggest if we play like that again, we are capable of getting 3 points this time - everyone else seems capable of getting results against them. Sadly, we given ourselves too much to do, along with Dumbarton picking up points. To stay up via the play offs, we'd need to win at least 5 of the next 7 games, we've won only 5 all season.
When the inevitable happens, I hope we don't see players sitting down gutted, it won't be this game that has relegated us, but the shit served up over the last 33 that's done the damage.
Anyway, I'm jumping ship, got a last minute holiday to Tenerife, so won't be there. Part time supporter!

Excellent 1-0 Fife it is then, just to keep that run going!

So, with ticket prices around 40% higher than yours, a Derby with Dunfermline & a possible player sale. I should be expecting a higher playing budget than Forfar’s.
