ℹ️ HOW DID THEY GET ON LAST SEASON? ℹ️
The weather was the victor in the first fixture last season, a waterlogged pitch at Guy’s Meadow forcing the match to be postponed – a postponement that was never to be played, thanks to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The return fixture was a closely fought encounter in February, and it was an Evan Maley header that separated the sides at Portland Park.

🎟💰 HOW MUCH IS IT TO GET IN? 🎟💰
Unfortunately, Scottish Government Covid restrictions are still in place which prevent the attendance of supporters at football.
We, as I’m sure you do, hope to see a return to supporters inside grounds such as ours very shortly.
🤝💴 HOW CAN I HELP MY CLUB IN THESE DIFFICULT TIMES? 🤝💳
We have been knocked out at the generosity of our supporters across the summer, donating their time, money and materials towards the maintenance & improvements we were doing around the ground. But the general costs of running a football club are a challenge for all clubs in these strange times.
If YOU want to donate anything to help your club out, you can do it safe online via the “Donate a Ticket” website. You can donate the price of a ticket as many times as you like, or donate a one-off amount of however much suits you – and 100% of the monies donated will go directly to the club.
You can help your club – and many thanks for those who have donated so far!
