I would quite like to go along and watch the reserved play - can be good to see a young player stand out and then see them progress…
But genuine question… why do Dunfermline need to play their games on the other side of Edinburgh?
And also, why are they on a Tuesday afternoon when most folk are working?
It’s like 6 or 7 games? Would that not be a good opportunity to have them play at EEP, get them used to playing in the stadium and also make it free (maybe a season ticket benefit?) so they can get a bit of support?
Ps I know the afternoon will not be DAFCs doing but still

I`m sure back in the day of the old paper season tickets you used to get reserve games included. If they played at eep the pitch would end up a mess by the end of the season.

It’s not a full season of games though and especially this time of year, it wouldn’t cause much damage.
I agree with DBP’s sentiment
It`s bloody tough being a legend

I think if more fans can watch these games they will see the development of the young player and get more buy in. It may not be as dramatic as ICT moving training to Kelty, but it is along the same lines. It doesn`t have to be EEP but somewhere more local and easier to get to for the fans who enjoy going to these games. After all are we not a local club embedded in the local community.

I wonder why they use Ainslie Park.The youngsters would be better served playing on a grass pitch too imo?

Did the First team not play at home a Saturday and the Reserve team not play away on the same Saturday. Then the next week they would alternate.

Reserves used to play at EEP on a Tuesday night. I’m sure Youssef Rossi made his debut in the reserves at EEP midweek and he got a red card in the first half

I went to reserve games and youth games when they were in the area, but as an 81year old , I have no notion to travel to Edinburgh to watch my club`s reserves/young players. Surely they could have had an alternative to Ainslie Park. I am not alone btw , there were a lot of us enjoyed watching the progress of both the reserves and the young lads.

Kelty would have been better than Edinburgh, surely?

It`s decisions like this that need to be explained to fans. Who made it and what was the rationale behind it?

Only thing I can think of is it`s cheaper than what Kelty would be asking for.

"Only thing I can think of is it`s cheaper than what Kelty would be asking for."
If that`s the case, then a couple of hundred fans paying a few quid might have made it less expensive?

Maybe hosting a public event will incur its own costs

Reserve/ U21 was always a Monday night at Eastend back in the 90s £2 entry
A par since 1985

It`s surely daft for a football club to make it difficult for its fans to attend its matches but it happens quite often now eg games rescheduled to unsocial hours to accommodate TV companies. This one`s harder to understand.

I was at that match, decent crowd, probably about 1,000. That red card was one of the most mental things I`ve seen. Pretty sure the ball was played into the feet of the opposition player with his back to goal on the halfway line. Rossi was right on him, and harried him all the way back to almost his own penalty area. He had a few boots at him, which probably should have seen the ref blow for a foul long before, before absolutely going through him and getting the red. The majority of the crowd cleared off after that.
I used to go to loads of the reserve games back then, there was usually 200 - 400 others in attendance. I was really expecting the training ground to have facilities to cope with that sort of crowd and for games to be there
