A recent rallying of Dunfermline Athletic Football Club fans to try to save their stricken club will keep the business afloat through April and May, grateful administrators have said.
The administrator of the Pars has called for the continued support of the fans as donations to the club reached £50,000.
Bryan Jackson, business restructuring partner with accountants BDO, said: “The response from the fans, PARS United, the club, and the wider community has been overwhelming over the last few weeks.
“The fans have been unbelievably generous in donating £50,000 and this money has been essential to keep the club going by paying wages and to keep DAFC financially afloat during April and May.
“We need to keep up this level of effort over the closing weeks of the season to make sure that DAFC keeps its place in the first division and has sufficient funds to continue to operate.” he added.
Mr Jackson called for a great turnout of fans for the relegation play-off this weekend with Forfar.
He said: “One final push is needed over the next month to keep this historic club going.”
