    The New Raith Rovers Thread

    Of course you can. The main cost is wages, not maintenance of facilities, and clubs could quite easily operate with a team of kids, not really earning much more than good part-time wages, as they don't have family and other commitments that your 30-year old journeyman has to consider.

    Morton won the Third Division with a team of kids, full-time, but not earning much. Full-time clubs want to have their cake and eat it though, which is why budgets are unsustainable. When one club chucks it, the rest will have the room to follow suit without being relegated.

    No you cant, how much does your Chairman pump in every year. Morton are the perfect example of not being able to run full time football with your crowds

    I'll support the Rovers vocally, financially and fundraising wise for as long as I, or they, are alive but I have to say that it's fucking soul destroying reading about this constant struggle to stay afloat.

    If my family was struggling as bad as this financially and we were on the verge of bankruptcy I'd cut everything down to the bare bones. Aye, fair enough, we'd get sick of playing Monopoly every night due to getting rid of the tv and I'd miss getting humped by super-fast fingered Chinese geniuses at Pro Evo online on the PS3 but at least we'd have a bit of money about us to provide an even footing for replenishing our luxuries through time.

    Raith Rovers need to go to the bare bones, part time throughout until we have a wee bit of money to be adventurous enough to push on a wee bit and bring in a few luxuries. If that means dropping down to the 3rd division and getting pumped off Montrose 4 times a season then so be it. At least we would still have the foundations in place to build on again. The way the club's finances are going at the moment, these foundations are in grave danger of crumbling beneath our feet and some serious action needs taken one way or the other before we find ourselves with nothing left to work with.

    Well said Andy.

    Its not just the Rovers in this situation, but most of the 1st Division are in the same boat. The SPL has killed the 1st Division and its about time that all the Chairmen wake up and smell the coffee that you cannot sustain full time football on crowds of 1,500 to 2,000.

    Even getting the golden tiocket to the promised land isnt any good any more, just ask the Pars how their finances are tyhis season.

    Lidl Inferno Pizza

    I would try it but there's no chance I'm risking being caught shopping in Lidl.

    Just take a look at some of the cars that people get out of beofre going into Lidl or Aldis. I think that you will find that their patrons have changed from when they first started in this country.

    Dont get me wrong, Im not keen on their fresh meat, but for everything else they are as good as most of the bigger supermarkets. Give them a try, just take your own M&S or Sainsburys bags and no one is any the wiser.

    I don't have a problem with the seats as I'm small.but one thing that bugs me is the person sitting behind me get's up and pulls my seat back as they stand up,or a tall person sits down and I can feel their knees hitting the back of my seat. :ph34r:

    ??????? hedging your bets on which word it is

    Fair enough. Everybody can choose what to do with their own money. The one thing I would say is that the club need as many members as possible to increase the finances. For me the scheme is not simply about whether the team are decent at the moment but about investing in the long term future of Raith Rovers (well not investing actually but donating more like). Your son is still a Rovers fan even if he isn't that keen on going to Starks Park on a Saturday. So I'd still buy him the shares. Or do what I did and got the £500 package for myself and the less expensive ones for the family. There's a £125 option which still helps the club.

    Exactly my point.

    How can home defeats to Ayr and Livi suddenly change your mind?
