Dumbarton FC have launched a fundraiser after the club entered administration on Monday.

Club officials previously announced they were left with "no option" after appointing Quantuma, a business advisory firm, to manage the administration process.

The Sons have since launched a GoFundMe in a bid to raise £50,000 to help with club running costs including the wages for players and staff.

The fundraiser reads: “Support the fighting fund to save our club.

“Due to the club not receiving financial support from the majority shareholder or monies owed to it, the directors took the hard decision to put the club into administration in order to find a solution to overcome its financial challenges.

“We would greatly appreciate any support you can give.”

The Scottish Professional Football League [national governing body] have also docked Stevie Farrell's men 15 points, which puts them bottom of League One.

They are now below Inverness Caledonian Thistle who are also in administration. 

The most recent accounts for The Dumbarton Football Club, covering the year to May 31, 2023, show that the club was due to receive gross proceeds of £1,848,000 from the sale of land to a related party.

It sold a piece of land on April 29, 2021 to More Homes DFC Limited, a subsidiary of the club's majority shareholder, Cognitive Capital. The balance of the £1,848,800 was due to be paid into instalments, of £300,000 in April 2023, and £1,548,000 in April 2026.

However, the total amount remains outstanding, note the accounts, which state that the recovery of the money is "dependent on the successful completion of a residential development on the land sold".
