Player Pot funds secured Eddie Malone transfer deal

Forfar Athletic officials, not least manager Gary Bollan were delighted when we were able to secure the services of Eddie Malone from Spartans late last week.

Eddie went on to make his debut in the 1-0 win over Edinburgh City on Saturday past.

In these hard financial times for all clubs at our level where every ‘penny’ counts, the fact that ‘Loons’ officials were able to sanction the modest fee involved with a potential add on if we attain promotion this season was due to the monies raised over the past year in the ‘Player Pot’ scheme.

Although this fund raiser did not meet with great response when launched in comparison to for example to the ‘Buy a Brick’ scheme set up last month, it has still brought in vital revenue to the club and in particular the funds available to the Manager.
