    The New Raith Rovers Thread

    in Scottish Championship General Chatter

    Posted

    I am amazed at the lack of response by our supporters at the way our fans representative has been treated since being elected. 
    This position was fought for by ordinary fans through a collective fundraising effort at the time of Reclaim the Rovers. Donations, sponsored walks, kids donating their pocket money all went towards ensuring that we had a place at the top table. 
    Successive elected representatives all sat on the board of Raith Rovers FC not the inert and non active New Raith Rovers. This allowed the supporters a direct link and an opportunity to be part of the decision making process. 
    If the previous board had decided that this would no longer be the case why was this not mentioned prior to the election being held. The supporters elected Dot Wilson who understandably was under the impression that she would be continuing in the role we have held for the previous 17 years. 
    This was not to be the case. Instead of sitting down and discussing these changes with Dot they acted like a bunch of corporate bullies. Not engaging with her. Denying her access at meetings. Restricting access to areas of the stadium. I could go on but I won’t. Suffice to say that if this was a work related issue there would be grounds for constructive dismissal. It also poses the question would they have treated the other candidate in the same manner had he won. 
    It is a sad day for democracy at Stark’s Park and it is shameful at the manner in which our elected representative has been treated.

    Dundee v Raith Rovers (SF)

    in Domestic Cup Football

    Definitely a huge effort from the team last night and shame on some of our supporters for decrying Murrays choice🙄 it was a superb semi final, I thought it was Dundee's game after going 2-0 down but the Rovers never gave in and managed to scrape their way back to 2-2.  Never had any doubts that if it went to pens we would win😳  Lets have more of the same on Saturday lads, well done.

    With apologies to Laura for pulling a tweet across to here, which I think is a little shady... 

    I think this is important, especially given how opaque the club have been about Karen Macartney's duties since she joined. 

    So the club - a football club, mind - hired a Chief Executive who couldn't be involved in any football contract matters, presumably because of the conflict of interest. 

    Which opens up a whole barrel of questions, all of which further call into question the leadership at the club. 

    Once again, though, I'm going to cry out for some communication. There's so much acrimony at the moment and at least some of it will inevitably be directed at the wrong people because we've got absolutely no idea who does what at the club. If that's all changing now that Paul Smith has left (!?) then it's the perfect time to lay out the roles and responsibilities for everyone from the owner down through the CEO, the Chairman and the new look board. 

    Oh yes she was!!!
