Programme resurrected for those that like that sort of thing.
Good that it’s back. Hopefully they get the volunteers to make it work.

As long as the team is not going by boat this time.
Awaiting announcement of an all inclusive supporters cruise departing Kdy. The ultimate away trip.

Tom Lang fucks up and gifts the Arabs a goal.
How sad

Love it. Great colours and the collar looks so much better than on the home strip. Nice wee touch on the shipwreck link. Already had a couple of non Rovers pals talking about that.

The day of the week not great for everyone but I’m sure there’s a reason for it. Presume an open training session doesn’t rule out the potential for an open day later on? Remember a few happening well into the season in the past.

Good interview with Murray. Can’t think anyone who genuinely supports the club will hold a grudge. A shame that it sounds like his fitness needs a bit of work. Would have loved to have watched him scoring the winner down at Killie. Never mind, a winner against the Pars at some point will do just fine.

The plans are to put a sports bar where the office is. For home fans, so no way they’ll switch ends. The singing section is only where it is because it’s the only free part of the ground with seats.

No, but they let themselves down by chanting about Bene.
Yeah heard that one.

Think it’s early days for the singing section so wouldn’t write it off just yet. If it builds momentum it could attract more folk and add to the atmosphere at run of the mill games. Club needs to stamp down on any flare damage and Norrie’s McCathie songs though (if this was sung yesterday). Leave that sort of pish to the Old Firm.

Also thought Corr looked good. Aside from a couple of nervous moments, which is perhaps understandable given the occasion, he looked solid and assured on the ball.

No sausage rolls or steak and haggis pies in one of the kiosks (at about 4.15!) but the steak pie was tasty and the kids liked their hot dogs- a definite improvement on previous catering I’d say.
In defence of the long queues, I’d say being a tea-time kick-off, maybe more folk than usual for that size of crowd were wanting food?Hardest game to test the new catering with. Always huge queues and long waits at a derby and suspect there were a few sampling the new menu. Will hopefully calm down. Had the Chicken Curry pie. Top notch.

Unless Killie turn out to be woeful, this feels like the decider for the second place in the group. Would be great to start the season with a win especially in the derby, but also not going to panic if we do lose. Looking forward to getting back to Stark’s Park, seeing the improvements and having my first fudge donut.

Starting the season with that injury list is horrendous. Probably just bad luck again, but feels like we’ll never have a full squad to choose from.

Programme in the COVID season, on recycled paper, was very good with excellent articles. Last year's was okay but not outstanding. Think there is merit in keeping one but I am old and so programme and 50/50 tickets on way in is part of the ritual.
Like the feel of a programme too in the same way I like reading an actual newspaper, but have got to the point where I no longer bother with either. Now just watch the Raith TV interviews as build up. More and more doing the same I guess so leaves the club the choice of lose money or put the price of the programme up for those that still buy it - which would probably reduce sales even further. It is a real shame but does feel like the writing is on the wall. Appreciate that doesn’t make the decision to axe it easy for those who love it or those who give their time to put it together.

Programme has been up and down in terms of quality the last ten years. Can’t see how it would make money, so if it’s losing money then probably the right decision to move it online. Like printed match tickets, a shame for those that love collecting it, but would end up going that way eventually.

Gave up on friendlies years ago as they can be a glorified kick about. As others have said, we’ve had great pre-seasons then been garbage when the season kicks off and vice versa. We’ll only know from when things get going properly, but seen enough decent moves and goals in the highlights to be encouraged going forward. Sounds like the defence needs strengthened but hopefully we can do that and be much more competitive than last year. I’m choosing to believe that under the new owners we’re entering an early 90s like golden era again, at least until Saturday night.

I think that’s somewhat the elephant in the room just now. If we made a huge loss every year with next to nothing of a behind the scenes team and a decaying stadium. I’m not sure where all the additional cash is coming from.
This is the elephant in the room. One off investment is great and very welcome but unless commercial income goes up significantly then any additional salaries are just going to create an even bigger shortfall. Willing to trust that the new guys know what they’re doing financially, but making Rovers sustainable is a big ask.

If the team does well this season nobody will care about the strip.
This. We won the League Cup in one of our worst ever strips that looked like it had bird shit on one shoulder. Now it’s a classic that’s been re-created and people love.

Just seen this. Looks better in the full length. And just seen the Celtic top so could be A LOT worse.

Looks like two different strips sewn together - when weirdly either on their own would have been class. And that collar is odd. So not for me but not going to get hung up on a strip. We’ve won leagues and cups in honking strips before so hopefully can do it again.

If there are people who are willing to pay for steps, tiles, bricks, bits of the pitch, floodlights or whatever then I’d say crack on. Clubs at our level and below need as much cash through the door as possible. If they find folk willing to stump up hard cash for notional ‘ownership’ of a bit of the Falkirk pitch then it’s more genius than tinpot.

Disappointing to hear that folk are singing about Norrie McCathie. Get that type of garbage snuffed out immediately.

Good solid signing. Put him alongside a younger, quicker partner and I’m pretty sure we’ll be much more robust than last season at the back. Anyone got any inside track on stadium developments? looking forward to seeing what they’ve done inside.

Would take Muirhead as one of our centre backs. Pair him with a younger partner with a bit of pace and it could work.

Great entertaining game and brilliant atmosphere at end. Defensive frailties still there but that’s for another day. That extra point is huge. Decent win on Saturday and fingers crossed it’s us through, Pars out.
