Raith Rovers have apologised after their cinch Championship match at home to Dunfermline was abandoned due to a power cut. The match at Stark's Park, which was goalless, was called off after just 15 minutes. Raith Rovers said in a statement that the club would like to apologise to everyone impacted by the abandonment of the fixture. This was due to an electrical issue which, as of yet, is unresolved. Electrical engineers are still looking to identify the root cause of why the power failure affected certain areas of the stadium. It was due to this power issue that floodlights, fire alarms, smoke alarms, stand and concourse lighting as well as electrical supply into parts of the ground failed. The Police Scotland match commander ruled that the match could not continue for safety reasons. Raith Rovers will now work with the relevant authorities to investigate the cause of the power cut and prevent such incidents in the future. The club's statement was released shortly after the abandonment of the match, and it is expected that an update will be provided in the coming days. The abandonment of the match will be a disappointment to the fans of both Raith Rovers and Dunfermline, who were looking forward to an exciting match. The two teams will now have to wait for a new date to be scheduled for the match to be replayed. Raith Rovers will be hoping to get back to winning ways as soon as possible, and the club will be working hard to ensure that the stadium is safe and ready for the next match.
