  1. We were absolutely terrible today. Fair play to Utd who played that game perfectly without needing to get out of 2nd gear. Physically very good, picked up every 2nd ball and moped up everything at the the back. Just out of curiosity but did Ruddens shot hit the bar or did the keeper save it? Looked some effort. Will be interesting to see if Utd plow on now and if we can dust ourselves down and see what happens.
  2. "it's up to them if they want to make public that excuse" - is basically the operational narrative that Luigi eventually came out with. Barrowman made his comments before Luigi came out with his. I don't think Barrowman/Rovers have been told anything other than what Luigi has said publically. If anything Barrowmans comments has probably pushed Luigi to come out and tell everyone the reason as by that point Utd weren't exactly being forthcoming with why the allocation had been reduced.
  3. I'd seen in the ICT match thread about a decent sized free car park on Catherine Street, is that an option as well?
  4. Yon Luigi boy came out with the reason. I'd guess this is the reason we were told as well.
  5. https://www.thecourier.co.uk/fp/news/fife/4929449/raith-peter-hetherston-court-attempted-murder/ Oft
  6. Our CEO is in The Courier saying we've been told the reason (he doesn't elaborate other than he does not feel the reason hold any weight) and he doesn't envisage any good news on additional tickets becoming available. The sections of the shed being closed are the section nearest the home fans and the first 5 rows of the whole stand. I would suspect Utd's reasoning they've given the Rovers is for security reasons albeit doesn't seem to effect the erse cheeks and/or any other club when they play Utd.
  7. Murrays also in The Daily Record peddling the 'rattled' line. Edit: You can also knock on the head it being any form of police decision seeing as there's no issues when Rangers and Celtic come to Tannadice getting full stand. So aye, Utd just being petty by looks of it.
  8. He's not on loan at Dundalk. https://www.raithrovers.net/jamie-gullan-departs/
  9. Much like the KDM stadium attendance calculator.
  10. Geezo, can I play as well? yOu ArE tHe WeE tEaM oF dUnDeE lololol. Lets not pretend if the shoe was on the other foot Dundee Utd fans wouldn't be up in arms as well. Sit this one out mate.
  11. In the sense that it could be split between home and away fans? I'm not sure, I think there's only one entrance/exit to the stand (DU fans can maybe correct me if that's the case). I don't think that's the plan otherwise Utd fans would be coming out saying they've got access to it as well. Ideally DU come out and explain their reasoning however I can't see that happening.
  12. Dundee Utd have stopped new signs ups buying tickets for the home end (probably to stop Rovers fans buying them) and in the process this has impacted Dundee Utd fans being able to buy tickets. What a colossal f**k up and a half.
  13. No one knows as Dundee Utd don't appear to be forthcoming with their reasoning behind it. In December we got the full stand and were close to selling it out (think by the day of the game we were down to 50 tickets left). This time round the allocation has been reduced by about 600. Unless Dundee Utd do a U turn 30% of the stand will be empty.
  14. Someone has said on Twitter (yes I know it must be true then) that Dundee Utd have cordoned off the first 6 rows which is causing the reduction in capacity of the stand. That might have some merit as there were boys standing on the wall at the previous fixure with stewards going mental at them. However if that's the reason, just come out and say that's why.
  15. I think it's clearly obvious the Dundee Utd board are being very petty, whether it's due to a fall out between the clubs or being riled up online (surely not) or to gain some sort of advantage on the day (which doesn't always work, see the previous games at Starks). It just makes no sense to have empty away end seats which are in high demand and it's not as if these seats have been kept back for home fans. It's all very weird however it's Dundee Utd's choice. See if they said something like "due to segreation issues or structrual issues with seats in one particular section" I'd be inclined to believe them and accept it. But they've not give anyone a reason, it's just 'this is it, like it or lump it'. Edit: @John MacLean beat me to it.
  16. Dundee Utd seem to be reluctant to come out and explain why they feel it's appropriate to leave the away end 30% empty having not done that for the previous fixture in December?
  17. Rovers Tweeting allocation sold out. No extra tickets. Stand will be 30% empty.
  18. Well that was more stressful than it needed to be but managed to get two tickets for me and my son. Shambles of a way to go about it though.
