The Berwick Rangers friendly has been cancelled on police advice. 

That's a fuckin sick joke. I'm stopping off in Newcastle on my way home from holiday and have booked train tickets for Berwick on the Saturday. Does that mean if Colombia pump England the polis will allow the game to be on again?

My favourite memory of Berwick’s ground was after a minute or two of game, Bodge realises he is at wrong side of ground so just casually (and drunkenly) walks across the pitch about in line with 18 yard box, quality!

Been there once. I remember Berwick scoring ridiculously early, Davo scored for raith (i think), i had a deep fried pie, which was bowfin, and spewed it up the minute I got off the bus.

He stopped shook hands with Raul Ojeda, and carried on

Not too devastated by not having a day out in Berwick tbh.

My 1st trip there was a 6-0 thrashing in the Scottish.

My second  saw me with a cut chin (still have the scar) after getting hit with a flying stone when a fight broke out up the back, there was always trouble at Berwick.

Many years later we went there with a decent support on Boxingday only for the team not to bother their arses.

Fair to say most of my trips to Sheilfield have been memorable for all the wrong reasons.

Berwick a great day. My favourite, and worst, memory was when a bunch of our fans starting singing Flower of Scotland back in 2003 [emoji86] It was one of the first league games that season under Calderon

Berwick has one of the coolest front doors to a pub ever.

Did there not used to be a pub in Kirkcaldy called the brewars arms, or am I making that up?

There’s the Feuars Arms just at the Ravey flats.
Not to say there wasn’t a pub in Kdy called that in a previous incarnation.

Also, Rovers have commented on the post on FB about the Berwick friendly being cancelled.

FURTHER STATEMENT FROM RRFC:

Both Berwick Rangers and ourselves wanted the game to go ahead.

On Friday we were contacted by Northumbria Police who told us they had “high level intelligence” that the game was being targeted by right wing extremists out to cause trouble and that there was a safety issue for fans.

They advised that the safest action was to cancel the match.

Reluctantly we have done so - given what the police have told us there was no alternative decision possible.

Fans' safety comes first.

Targeted by fash, what next?!

[Bring Back Paddy Flannery]

Bizarre.

If you were a right wing extremist group looking to make a statement/cause bother then why the f**k would you choose to target a pre-season friendly between Berwick Rangers and Raith Rovers.

[Beastie Russell]

It tough being football trailblazers 

1st to be shipwrecked 

1st be managed by a DJ

1st to have a player of the year from a non old firm club

1st to have a game cancelled due to extremists 

[Beachbum]

1st to be relegated by its own board.

[Rovers1992/1993]

We’re Raith Rovers mate!

Especially on an afternoon when England are possibly playing in a world cup quarter final.
