The DAFC Supporters' Council meeting took place this evening at EEP. A disappointing turn-out of no more than 35 fans attended. The agenda is listed in the photo attached here. The main points made by Chairman Ross McArthur were:
- Exactly 3000 season tickets have been sold. - The club made an annual profit as of 31 May 2016, the first profit for 20 years. - The Centenary Club Lifeline provides £210,000 to the club this season. - Repairs to the stadium are ongoing. The undersoil heating system is now fully functional. There is enough oil stored to run the heating for 2 games. - Work on the new gym at EEP starts next week, to be completed by January. - A second mini bus is being purchased, due next week, to be used to transport players to training. - Dalgety Bay is to be the main location for training. Quotes from Ross: "I firmly believe we have the players to potentially compete for a play-off spot. It's been a difficult start but injuries and illness, and individual errors, have impacted. Early season we lacked a cutting edge up front. It's an unforgiving league and mistakes are being punished." On the Faissal situation: "We did not hang around waiting for a certain player to sign. It's a slur on the professionalism of the club to say that. It takes time to bring in the right players." On the fans: "With a minority, disappointment turns into frustration which turns into abuse. We must rise above that and stick together." On the Lifeline: "Supporting the Centenary Club, even in the Championship, is absolutely crucial." Above comments and points raised, noted by Pars Review.
