Quick question RE the fanzone for the scotland games, not seen it asked anywhere. Will drink be only in the bars or will drink be allowed I. The stand during the game being on? Not sure on the licence law when the games not actually on the pitch?

Surely you can drink in the stand whilst watching? Your effectively going to a “concert” type event rather than a football match.

Any further word on the size of the screens?
The artist`s impression made it look like they were literally going to stick a couple of living-room size TVs in front of the Norrie stand and for me, that was very much a deal breaker considering the price they`re charging.
If someone can reassure me that this in fact won`t be completely tin-pot however, I may reconsider....
Here`s an idea, why not contact the organisers

If so, is it just Stephens on offer for food or is there other external vendors?

I seen on Facebook recently I think it was fife foodies and it was an advertisement for food outlets to appear at East End so that would suggest festival type food rather than Stephens

Given that`s exactly what the artist`s impression depicted, I`d contest that people might be forgiven for drawing such a conclusion.
This water-tight, cast iron assurance from Drew changes everything however - or at least it did once I remembered who he is and what his role is, such is the profile he maintains. I`ve always had nothing but the utmost confidence in him.
It`s hard to tell whether you`re being sarcastic or not.

It is a perfectly reasonable question. If its asked in a reasonable manner without buckets of sarcasm and not mentioning the word "tinpot" then maybe a reasonable answer would have been given.
Sometimes it`s not what you say, it`s how you say it that matters.....

Customer support is so important with these things. As soon as they went public with the event and made the email address public, they should have been in position to respond promptly. Would have been the easiest thing in the world to respond along the lines “That hasn’t been finalised yet, but we can assure you the size will be fit for purpose”. Then again, maybe Ormiston’s spam filter has gobbled up the response?

Its really poor tbh…..questions have even been posed in here and been ignored/left unanswered 🤷🏻♂️ this could he a great event, but for such a big thing then there really needs to be proper and precise communications. It doesn’t look like thats going to happen though meaning pub is most likely outcome.

To be fair it shouldn`t be a hard question to answer you`d think the screens were the first thing sources when planning the event. So the size must be known by now.
When you`re asking fans to pay money emails really shouldn`t be left (weeks according to folk on here ) to be actioned.

No, run by DAFC solely.
Absolutely nowhere does it say its being run by the football club.
Ask the question of Drew? I’ve already had the conversation with Alister Burn who is organising the whole thing. It’s pretty clear. Nobody else is running the event except DAFC, that’s a fact.

Maybe I`m being daft here, but I assumed this is being run by a third party with EEP being the venue only?

Question was asked on who was running the event, I answered. Where does it state that’s a problem?

Actually, Ormiston_Par it did bother me. As a volunteer at our club who spends hours a day dealing with a whole range of stuff, I found both your `playground insults` concerning me quite offensive. No wonder trying to recruit more volunteers at the club can prove difficult.

On a lighter note and completely irrelevant to the thread, I remember watching le coup de monde finale on a large screen in a park in Amiens. It was France v Italy. Sadly, for most of the spectators France lost after Zinedane Zidane got une carte rouge but the screen was plenty large enough for the 300 or so spectators.

Apologies if my question came across as rude. It was a genuine one as it doesn`t say anything about the Pars on the website and has another company listed as the event partner so I thought maybe they`d be dealing with things like screens, stages, catering etc.
Good size of screen. I wasn`t sure about having people in the stands rather than putting a floor over the pitch but I suppose it reduces the risk of a big fella standing in front of you like always happens at gigs.

"Oh come on, get a grip. The first rule of this (or indeed, any) forum is not to take anything written on it remotely seriously. Anyone that does needs their head examined."
Didn`t you get all hot and bothered when I mentioned a nickname for a fellow Catholic a few months back ?
Or were you not being remotely serious when you took (feigned ?) offense ?

What is wrong with you, OP? Can you not just apologise like a normal, civilised human being? I used to enjoy your contributions to dotnet. What the hell has happened to you?

There is disgraceful abuse of Drew in this thread. Admin should be piling out the cards and deleting all of that and banning the troll responsible. To pass it off as light hearted and not to be taken seriously after the event, is lowest form possible.
Drew, I, like many on here really appreciate your hard work as our fans rep on the board. You’ve always taken time to respond when asked (maybe not right away as, like you pointed out, you’re a volunteer), but you do always reply. In person, you’ve always had time for folk. Please don’t take this idiots comments to heart - it’s bang out of order.

Anyone who has even the slightest knowledge of how much work Drew has done (and continues to do) for this club and its supporters should be appalled that a so-called Pars fan thinks it`s ok, not only to post that sort of infantile and disgusting
comment, but then to laugh it off as though it`s Drew`s fault to be offended.
The behaviour of some Pars fans towards him drove Ross McArthur to the exit door - is that really what Pars fans want to happen to everyone who tries to do something for this club?

FFS…what an absolute meltdown on this thread man.
People will genuinely find a reason to moan about anything.
If the tickets have been released prior to all information coming out that you need to know and you’re that precious about it…then don’t buy one. It’s not sold out yet.
If you choose to buy earlier then thats on you, the event will just be wanting to allow as much time to try and sell out.
There will be many that just want to go for the experience, especially for us having something like this on our door step, they won’t be sitting refreshing their laptop every ten mins to see if there is an update on screen size first.
Organisers of these things aren’t stupid, they’re not going to host an event that can take a few thousand and not have the right tellies, especially for such an occasion.
The club also posted that they’re hosting a public consultation on 8th May to get views on how to better enhance the experience. Go and contribute.
People sometimes can be so drenched in their negativity about things I wonder why people actually bother trying to put on events and try new stuff.

I echo this view. Years ago Slim Hoolie/ KGB used to be one of the best posters on here, always bringing some entertainment with his witty banter.
Then, a few years ago, something changed. There was suddenly a real nastiness in his comments, some pretty distasteful personal trolling. Disturbing. I thought it seemed out of character at the time, and it`s not been so bad lately but has slipped out again.
I do wonder what happened to make him like that

"No VEE, I was rightly calling you out for using bigoted language. Language that incidentally, in light of recent legislation would now qualify as hate speech. Careful now."
I`ll turn myself in !!!
Getting back to the subject - those screens look good (no pun intended) for purpose.

This strikes me as a very well-organised event. Indeed, if I lived nearby, I`d be well up for that! It`s a great initiative by the Pars commercial team. Good luck, everyone!

Oasis aren`t up my street but I`ve always heard good things about Definitely Oasis and probably a safe choice as everyone knows an Oasis song. Hopefully get some local bands on the stage too. It`s a bit off topic but it feels like loads of bands in Dunfermline are splitting up, which is really disappointing to see.
