 Fanzone question
Topic Originator: RMGpar  
Date:   Mon 22 Apr 16:05

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

I can`t quite believe folk thought they`d stick two 50" plasma tellies in front of a crowd of 1000s.

Theres still questions to be answered to be fair….

Can you drink in the stand?
Is this an all day thing where all games that day will be shown?
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.

Just don`t go.

Why is asking on the screen size not a perfectly reasonable question ?

Presumably the organisers are in a position to clarify ?

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.....

That lack of response suggests they either don’t know - or don’t want to go public in case it doesn’t meet perceived expectations ?

Hopefully this straightforward enquiry can be answered soonest.

Im sorry, but thats just not a good enough excuse to be honest. You’re trying to sell tickets for an event for a fair price, but cant put in the effort to respond to fair questions?

If you are running an event thats meant to be the biggest in the country, you shouldn’t be waiting weeks to respond to questions about the event……

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.

I’ve been going on about how cool it’s going to be, but the lack of response on such a fundamental element of the whole event is getting me a bit concerned TBH.

Is there a timetable for the event, opening times, closing times, what’s on, food options for veggies etc?

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.

It`s six weeks until the first match. It will make little difference even if the information is held off until a couple of weeks before Germany plays Scotland. Get a grip, Ormiston Par. Stop being such a drama queen with your faux and performative outrage.

And bloody well apologise to Kaiser Chief for your lowlife abuse.

I have now received a response to my query :


"Thanks for your enquiry around the Fan Zone.

Full information on the screens, sound, event schedule, live acts/Dj`s etc will be announced on the Fan Zone website and official club channels next week."


Hopefully Drew went ahead and ****** himself.


Disgraceful comment. We`re all Pars fans here. Take a step back for a bit.


Totally agree. That’s a shocking response from the poster. You’ve embarrassed yourself.

Got a reply this morning from emailed enquiry to address flagged up above.

Same response - wait out until next week.

Fair enough.

Good that the club replied, concerns appear to have been acknowledged.

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

They will be waiting to see the number of tickets sold before making any decisions. Whether the event will be profitable or not will be the deciding factor.

So, by that logic, the size of screens will depend on the number of tickets sold ?

I wonder what the menu items vs ticket sales is?

…and could you imagine if other entertainment events took that approach!?

Surely you wont know if its profitable until after the event? 🤔 could sell 400 tickets but they sell out the food/drinks vendors or sell 2000 tickets and they buy nothing…..

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.


Is that 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 ?

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

Getting back to the subject - those screens look good (no pun intended) for purpose.

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.

Still plenty of tickets available for this. Thought more would have been sold by now tbh. Looks like maybe 1/3 sold so far. Plenty of time of course.

What an opportunity we missed in 2014.
