Cash-strapped Dumbarton FC have turned to an online fundraiser in a bid to ensure players and staff get paid this month.
Sons went into administration on Monday and sunk to the bottom of League 1 after being hit with a 15-point penalty by the SPFL.
Administrators Quantuma have spoken to manager Stevie Farrell and his squad to assure them nobody will be released from their contracts but reporters hve been told players were concerned they wouldn’t be paid their November wages.
Two Sons supporters – Joanne McBride and Cameron Watson – have started a GoFundMe page for the club – and are already more than 20 percent towards their target.
And already they’ve hit the £10,000 mark in their £50k appeal and seen the running total surge even higher.
There’s still some way to go – in both their own appeal and the wider financial future – but there has been optimism since the worrying news was broken in a Scottish Sun exclusive on Monday night.
The move was confirmed on Tuesday and the fans leapt into action to ease some of the fears of staff and players at the club.
