Supporters rally behind Glens with ticket boost

Glens are one of a number of clubs across the country to sign up to the ‘donate a ticket’ scheme which gives fans the opportunity to buy a ticket for the game scheduled on the fixture list before it was cancelled.

And supporters have been backing the club in their droves, with nearly £700 being raised.

A club spokesman said: “Over night our donate a ticket has shot up to an amazing £636 we want to thank each person that has donated it means a lot to us and is greatly appreciated by all at Glenrothes FC

“Not too late to keep it going, our next game against Oakley is available to donate a ticket for.

“We appreciate this is a hard time for everyone but we want to keep our great club going through this hard time any donations large or small are greatly appreciated.”

The area’s junior sides, Thornton Hibs and Kennoway Star Hearts, can now start looking ahead to the new season.

The East Region Junior League has decided to bring a halt to the current season.

The decision comes following a conference call recently with the region’s management committee.

This week the Scottish FA announced that its decision to play no matches at any level until April 30 had been extended into June.

Thornton Hibs boss Craig Gilbert said: “There’s not a lot we can do about it but I think it was the right decision.

“We go with the SFA because they run the referees, so whatever they decide that’s it.

“We’re restricted in what we can do so what’s done is done, but it’s a shame the way it has happened.”

Kennoway Star Hearts finish the season ninth place in the McBookie.com South Superleague playng 19 of their scheduled games.

Thornton Hibs ended their campaign fourth in the same league - having played just 16 games and winning nine of them.
