2711 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I don't know what's happened to atmosphere in football but it seems to be a widespread issue, not just is down at the San Starko. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I don't know what's happened to atmosphere in football but it seems to be a widespread issue, not just is down at the San Starko. Maybe fans have just gotten more civilised, or less passionate about football?Redeveloping the ground (Starks) didn't help. We're 120 yards from the away fans. When grounds had terracing you were 5 yards, if that, from away fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dundee United away was one of the best atmospheres I've seen at a rovers game in a while 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Dundee United away was one of the best atmospheres I've seen at a rovers game in a while That was excellent. It helps if we have 700-800 travelling and a low roof. I'm looking forward to Falkirk on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz80 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 You are never going to get the atmosphere you did when it was terracing, days are long gone in my opinion. But since we have had the stands behind the goal, the best atmosphere has always been generated when we have had a wee choir at the back. It's simple stuff though, if you want an atmosphere then you create one, get a couple of mates and sing, bound to be a few others joining in, especially if we are playing well. Or not getting totally humped at least. This subject pops up all the time, not rocket science is it. Personally, I couldn't give a toss about singing anymore, if there is a good atmosphere then great, rather have a blether, but maybe I'm getting too auld. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz80 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Just another thing, from my viewpoint at the back, the FF are doing a great job down the front. Keep them there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) Fife derby in a couple of weeks all ticket it would seem. Allocated seating as well!?!?!? somehow I don't think we'll have issues finding a seat. Be lucky if 1500 head through for this imo. http://www.raithrovers.net/27164/dunfermline-ath-v-raith-rovers-ticket-sales.htm Edited October 20, 2016 by Raithie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely needless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beachbum Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Craig Barr reporting good news so far in his recovery. Can't put a link just now but it's on his Twitter account. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers1992/1993 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Craig Barr reporting good news so far in his recovery. Can't put a link just now but it's on his Twitter account. We'll still not see him back until February. When does his contract run out? Even if he comes back as a cracking player for the last 3 months of the season again like he always does, I wouldn't keep him on for next season. Been a massive waste of money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Different injury every time: right hip impingement this time, groin last season, something else the season before (hamstring I'm sure it was). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'd genuinely forgot about him. Standard behaviour with his fitness at least he's normally immense for the run in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it ridiculously rare complications last season where he had a chipped kneecap or something crazy and they had to operate to get it out? Or am I thinking of someone else? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to obsess over it though, so it's fair to say it's a horrendously unlucky run of injuries - each one unconnected to the rest :-( 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time he's come back he's seemed really gutted that it's happened and plays his heart out as he wants to be remembers as someone who has always given his all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
