"If you want some accessible but informative insight into football then I suggest you couldn't do better than the Political Economy of Football website, which is not only intelligible but comes with the added bonus of being written by Addicks fan Wyn Grant."

The club was founded in June 1885 and plays at East End Park (capacity: 12,509). Twice Scottish FA Cup winners - in 1961 and 1968. As of 2008, Dunfermline no longer owned their ground and chairman John Yorkston, while insisting the club is in no danger of moving into administration, had warned the 11 players out-of-contract at the end of this season they'll have to take big pay cuts if they want a deal.  It was also noted that the Dunfermline Building Society, the largest in Scotland, was offering two 'soccer saver' accounts: for Celtic and Rangers fans. That just about says it all.
