Best strips we ever had
The 1994-95 version was better than the 93-94 version as it was enhanced by a blue chip sponsor.

Sorta like this...I changed the red to white and the shorts to white...needs a bit of trim added, but...
That looks 100 times better.
Make the collar plain navy and the socks the same shade as the top and you have a winner.

It does look a bit staunch but I can see where they were going with the idea. This is the kit in question which would be a good retro to add to the list.
The way to avoid any Hunnery would be to release the away strip from that era - same design, but white with navy trim.

The new strip could have been good, but has turned out absolutely ghastly.
The collar looks like it belongs to two strips, neither of which are this one.
An understated navy collar along with white shorts and socks and it might have looked quite nice, but like a lot of Joma kits, it's far too busy and garish.

Do the Rovers still do car stickers, or is that auld fashioned now?
The ones that said "Don't follow me, follow Raith Rovers"?

Starks Bark is going back a good 25 years at least. There was also 27/11 and one before that I can't remember the name of.

The 2008/09 top was a decent design, the one two years back was too busy with the red badge detail on it.
Not that I disliked that aspect of it, but it was an either or: half and half or have the badge in there. Was too busy otherwise. Quite like the Joma shade of blue they use for us as opposed to the darker Puma Navy blue.
Pretty much my take as well.
The Puma half and half top was classy, with subtle detailing, whereas the Joma one looked like the kind of football top you find in shops located under self catering appartments in Benidorm beside the buckets and spades. A half and half top should be the same on the back (like our Puma one). The self coloured back on our Joma one further spoiled it. Even the collar looked like it belonged to two different tops.

The Sons new tops for this season.
These strips are cracking, especially the home one. So many retro kits end up looking like pale imitations of the original, but that one is nailed on.
I thought this season's Port Vale top would have been a belter of a Dumbarton top, but the Macron one is even better.

Shamelessly nicked from the Pictorial History section of Pie and Bovril.
100 years ago today since we set sail for the Canaries on the infamous Highland Loch.

Pretty sure that was taken before a home game against Hamilton in April, which we won 3-0. Two away wins at St. Johnstone and Stirling followed and we were top. A photo from the same shoot was in the programme the night we beat Airdrie to clinch promotion with the headline "One game from glory..."
Jimmy Miller scoring our third goal against Accies.
Edit - it's actually Bobby Russell.

I loved Beastie Russell when he was at the Rovers.

Come on Rovers, give us a CB signing announcement! We need distracting or we'll soon begin to argue over what kind of pie is the best to have at San Starko
The post on Twitter about recruiting kiosk staff tends to suggest the club catering is going to be in-house rather than renting the kiosks out.

Great seeing the club getting out in to the community early doors whilst season tickets are on sale and visiting the schools.
This is for me the key area to target - the kids are the next generation supporters/volunteers that we need to continue to grow.
This is not to put a dampener on it, but more a reach out message to the club as there will be people associated with the club who read the forums.
Do this correctly, include all the schools - push to reach out to them all. Last time it was done it seemed the schools in the more “well off” areas got the visit and tour with the Challenge Cup when we one it season before last - low and behold the first visit of the tour is Torbain again who got the visit with the cup also at the end of last season.
My boys go to Sinclairtown - got loads of Rovers supporters there and they’ve had nothing. These are the things that the kids remember, time spent to engage with them.
Include them all, please!
On the face of it, that seems fair comment, although I'm not sure the Torbain catchment area would be regarded as more affluent than Loughborough Road or Lady Nairn Avenue.
However, maybe the bigger issue is whether every school is willing to accommodate the Rovers in this. Some head teachers, and I'm not including Sinclairtown in this as I don't know in their case, seem to be anti-football and anti-competitive sports, so this is likely to provide an obstacle to the club.

I yearn for a return to the days when we played European ties on Tuesday nights then sent out a second string side to draw 2-2 with Manchester City in a friendly 48 hours later.

2016/17. Yogi is taking charge of the team for the day.

I know it's splitting hairs, but the Kelty game isn't technically a friendly, but a Fife Cup tie.

We played Swansea, Chelsea and Lincoln City (that was away from home) in 1980
The marquee autographs on the Chelsea programme would be those of their manager and, even more so, his assistant at the time.

I've heard the Keith Watson rumour from a few different sources.
Again, he's possibly still on holiday after having played in the playoff final.
33 and played most of his career at a decent level - hopefully he does the same sort of job Grant Murray did when we signed him.

Can this be true?
The Panini album sticker book, presumably 1978 edition, blurb under the Ayr United Aberdeen-born manager Alex Stuart says he rejected the Aberdeen job in 1977, who then turned to Billy McNeill whilst Stuart left Ayr United a year later to take over at St Johnstone...
Can anyone draw more light on this?
I'm not sure about the Alex Stuart situation, but I'm trying to work out who Ayr would have been playing on the day Hugh Sproat was wearing a red jersey.
He always wore green against the currant buns and blue against the jungle Jims.

That's very reasonable pricing.
Goes some way to make up for charging 5th and 6th year school kids £18 for the cup tie last January.
