Came and signed my sons programme after we lost to Dumbarton under Hughes, despite a load of wallopers going mental at him for doing so.

buchan30 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I just find it a miserable day out. I went to Ayr both times last year, total pish. Dont like Somerset at all, but i Think the worst thing about ayr is its a 2 n a bit hour drive back and it seems longer if you have been beaten and just want to get home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Ayr is a great day out. 2 hours isn't too bad if you're driving, the train or bus is more of a pain but doable. It's a proper old style ground with terracing and a sketchy burger van and a game under the lights there is a great occasion. Much rather go to Somerset than Livingston, St Mirren, St Johnstone or Kilmarnock. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing about Somerset is that it's in Ayr. The fact its a shitehole and is over 2 hours away is secondary to that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yur maw punts cooncil Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Yeah but I was also there when we beat them on the opening game of the season before. Great day out. We went 12 years without a win in Falkirk then beat them to stay up in 2012. Maybe the Rovers aren't for you if you actually enjoy supporting us. I'd suggest someone like Man City or Chelsea, you won't even have to leave the house. Take it the mood swings haven’t subsided Martin ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostZapper Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 For those that haven't seen the Sims interview, its worth a watch. From a business side of things its clear he has the basis of a plan -along with a forward thinking mentality as well. There is obviously some question of how all of this will be paid for, but he's open about that at least! It does sound like if we can get past this rocky spell and get back into the championship, increase the gates and sponsorship levels, then the club has a really good opportunity going forward. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostZapper Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) The one thing I will say..... he does mention the massive to do list, and years of neglect in the stadium. Surely as stadium owners, they should have actually been seeing to that, despite the differences he/Starks Park Properties had with the previous board. None the less, at least they are addressing it now. A new generator once the VAT is reclaimed from the pitch purchase, then on to the floodlights. Some really interesting plans for the railway stand, which seems to include hospitality suites (for fitba and non fitba use) changing facilities, safe standing. Also - good that Penman seems to be taking an active role in this redevelopment plan, and funding these initial works on developing the plan.

CALDERON Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Nice to hear an actual plan going forward rather than just keeping the club afloat. Also really like how he wants the club to be based in Kirkcaldy with regards to all aspects of training. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Every time I hear Sim's radical plans for the ground I keep thinking he's went round the bend. It just sounds so 'not us' when it comes to what we can physically afford or do. But hey ho it'll be exciting if Sim's vision pans out the way he hopes and benefits the club in the long term. Quite limited space at the railways side to struggling to wrap my head around how everything would look with a function suite/hospitality/media centre AND safe standing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wondered that myself when I was watching - I wondered if the railway stand might just be that - hospitality, function suite, media, changing facilities, control room - without actually any seats in that part, or perhaps just limited seating for the hospitality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
