certainly looks a big game on paper - should get a decent crowd ?
btw - is it true the origin of 'The Pars' originates from 'The Parylitics' ?
Great result for the Pars - and yes I am informed it was a full house.
As for the Pars it is a nickname where there are one of three possible explanations:
1. A Par is a black and white striped fish.
2. Yes they were (and still can be) so rubbish that they were described as 'Parylitic'.
and
3. Within my band of mates in Dunfermline most people tend to go with this one. Rosyth has a large naval base and as such there are always a lot of people from Plymouth who live in the area. Starved of their beloved Plymouth Argyle they came to watch Dunfermline Athletic carrying the banner ' Plymouth Argyle Rosyth Supporters - PARS'.
