Continue ahead on High Street, Lower Methil until the ‘Road Closed’ sign. You will be directed to park thereafter by police on South Street, Lower Methil which has been closed for this purpose. Supporters will alight in this area which is a very short distance from the ground. Buses will remain at this location for uplift of supporters after the game.

General Matters
The parking areas adjoin local housing and supporters are requested to modify their behaviour accordingly. The entire area is subject of local byelaws prohibiting the consumption of alcohol.
There will be toilets outside the ground towards the north end for use by supporters as well as obviously facilities inside.
Away supporters will have tickets marked for the temporary terracing - Gates 1, 2, 3 & 4. Please ensure that you establish from police / stewards where your gate is located and enter the ground early.
It is vital that those supporters seated in the main stand sit in the seat allocated. An ejection policy will be carried out by the stewards for those who do not comply.

This will be the largest game ever played at New Bayview Stadium and it is hoped that it can be an exciting sporting event for all. Please enjoy the game.”

Can we have it confirmed that any away fans in the home end will be ejected please Eugene??

So if two guys went to the game together one was east fife n one was rangers both from methil you want the rangers fan ejected?

Makes sense. If you support sevco you shouldn't be in the East Fife end.

Eugene as a disabled supporter will I still be able to use the disabled parking bays at the sea wall end,i will be coming down about 2 o,clock.

If the hypothetical Rangers fan wore no colours, didn't cheer when they scored and generally kept quiet then there wouldn't be a problem. If he does any of these things he should be promtly ejected.

If you think that's unfair then you go to Ibrox and openly support the opposition from the home end and see how long you're allowed to remain there.

Yes. And stoned.

Yes I would.
The Sevco fan should buy a ticket through Sevco and be stood with the rest of the gloryhunters.

The home end is for home support. I didn't go and sit in the Rangers end when we went to Ibrox

If he cheers when Rangers score or anything like that then that's exactly what I want. I have a good friend who supports Dundee United and he has talked of fighting at tannadice when old firm fans were sitting in the home end. I for one don't want to see scenes like that at Bayview. I have a 10 year old son that I take with me who would be terrified if this happens. If I see anyone cheering the Rangers on near me I'll be reporting them in an instant and hope the majority of others would too!!

I certainly wouldn't have dreamed of sitting in the home end at East End Park on Saturday cos I dunno if I could have contained myself when East Fife scored and I would not blame a pars fan for hitting me!!

It's simple really.........sit/stand among your own fans

This is obviously a concern for a lot of people and to avoid further confusion and to clarify matters, I would hope that the club issues a statement as soon as possible regarding away fans in the home end.

All it would take is for one altercation for the situation to escalate and that is something that nobody wants.

No official statement regarding this ... It's a trifle concerning.... I suspect we will be well penetrated and that's not a good position to be in... Home stand for home supporters.. Simples!

He has attended 8 games this season with me I try to get him along every week but because were playing rangers he can't come

If only there was a section of the ground dedicated to facilitate supporters of the opposition.

he comes to Bayview... does he not know where Ibrox is like?

He has attended 8 games this season with me I try to get him along every week but because were playing rangers he can't come [/quote]

If he's supporting East Fife then he's welcome in the home end.....................if he's supporting Rangers then he should be in the away end and if couldn't get a ticket in the away end then he should not attend!!

It's fucking obvious

There will plenty of East Fife fans who never even got a sniff of a ticket.
Me for example!

Rightly or wrongly there will be plenty Rangers supporters in the home end and when/if the show face its unlikely the stewards will do anything about it.

you want him stoned? unfortunetly no smoking in the stadium thankyou
