But then you remember it’s the Rovers, so it never proves to just be a niggle. Instead it ends up being some random, fluke injury that keeps the player out for months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stig Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Is there any signs of pre season friendlies that the fans can attend or will they all be behind closed doors and the first game with fans be the league cup? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Finally got to listen to JMcG’s season review/summary. Took the following thoughts: Keatings is 1.82m, Duku and Ugwu were both 1.88m, Jack Smith was 1.87m. He stated that they went to the English lower leagues to find tall forwards, to prop up a shorter team on set pieces, etc. So, letting Ugwu, Duku and Smith go suggests that he will be looking for at least another tall forward in addition to Keatings and that Smith had not impressed the team last year at all. There doesn’t seem an option already on the team for forwards, but Berra (1.9m) McKay (1.89m), Dick and Lang (1.86m), Musonda (1.83m), Bene and Tumilty (1.8m) all have decent height in the back, and surely some can move forward when needed. The other key element here is that the Gaffer seems very sure of his ability to get a couple of loans that might well fill that role nicely. He specifically references that Rangers were very happy with our use of Kennedy and team playing style, so I wouldn’t be overly surprised to see a player or two from there. (And, yes, he also name checked Adam King…be afraid, be very afraid). After digesting the interview, I wouldn’t be surprised by just one or two mids being signed…but I expect our loans to be focused on big forwards and/or wingers overall, unless an amazing CM gets offered up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 If we’re taking a loan or two from Rangers, I wouldn’t mind Ben Williamson as our central midfield signing. Seemed to do very well at Arbroath. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scary Bear Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I’m on holiday for our first couple of league games. Bad planning by me. I wonder if we’ll be allowed in Starks by then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Level 1 permits 1k fans at the moment, so you would think at the very least that Season Ticket holders will get in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s no longer an every game starter, but he’s a known quantity and a useful coach/mentor for younger CB’s. Surely a team like Alloa or Cove could use a bit of stiffening and experience at the back. Probably got offered an opportunity to train with Kelty to keep fitness while exploring options…that would be a win/win for Kelty, as he might just end up with them. a bit of stiffening and experience at the back? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 a bit of stiffening and experience at the back? [emoji16]Glad to see you've moved on and finally come to terms with Rovers winning the 2019/20 league in such style. We're clearly still living rent free in your head though. Which is nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Level 1 permits 1k fans at the moment, so you would think at the very least that Season Ticket holders will get in.I might be wrong and it’s also just maybe how I interpreted it on the Rovers website at the time. But the announcement about season tickets read that it would only be season ticket holders allowed in, depending on Covid restrictions. So if we get 1200 season ticket holders, and we’re in level 1 (as we currently are) - it’ll go to a ballot and 200 would miss out. (level 0, is 2000). Not any PATG. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how I remember reading it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we had around 1k season ticket holders so in theory they should be fine. 1k is the minimum, you can apply to have more in but I'm not sure of the ins and outs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Iirc we have had 900-1000 season ticket holders the past few seasons. Hopefully covid doesn't reduce that number moving forward, rather it increases with people knowing the best chance of getting to a live game is by getting one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
