Nice neat grass area that will never exist. For what it's worth the railway line is shown on the plan and will be partly (or maybe mostly) hidden by the foliage in the picture. Going by the plan there's enough space for the small grassy area shown. Edited October 14, 2021 by embow 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am absolutely delighted looking at that! Unreal!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 This does look incredible. If Sim manages to build this with no significant detriment to the playing side then he’ll have left the club a fantastic legacy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweaty Morph Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Genuinely surprised and delighted to have signed Ethan, and going by his interview, he's certainly 'buzzing' to be back. After a quiet transfer window and much disappointment expressed at not spunking the playing budget bringing players in to bulk up the squad (or make up numbers), this just reiterates this threads oft-used phrase: In McGlynn we trust. Assuming there's no money left now for the Andy Carroll deal though... 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WSDR 88 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 That’s absolutely unreal!! Buzzing if this was to become an actual thing, and not a pipe dream. What a game changer that would be! F*ck aye, Rovers!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Would a five figure fee for Ethan Ross be the most the Rovers have spent on a transfer since Paul Hartley in 1997? Other than an undisclosed fee for Kieran MacDonald which wasn't rumoured to be much, and a "four figure fee" for Craig Winter from Dumbarton, I can't think of any others this side of the millennium we've actually handed over cash for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Toun Lad Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I always thought it was a transfer fee we paid for him but it was only the development fee as he didn't sign the contract Cowdenbeath offered him. Much the same as Ethan Ross. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We owed Cowden compensation on account of how much training and development they'd given him. I wonder if we might be able to get a refund on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIT THE CHANNEL Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) The Ethan Ross signing followed with the Community Hub plans taking more concrete form have got me thinking and I have been proper buzzing... After being a national laughing stock, appointing Gary Locke, the John Hughes saga, on 13th May 2017 we lost on penalties to Brechin, getting relegated to league 1. Barry Smith's brutal football and all round negativity followed, and we looked like we could be in real trouble of languishing in L1 for a long, long time. Now we are in the Championship, having had a real tilt at promotion last year (and arguably without a Hearts and over a 36 game season we would have had a very good shout of winning that league). We look good again for a solid play off hunt, and maybe another tilt at promotion without additional injuries and a shrewd January window. A good amount of prize money should come in again from a decent league finish. We are fucking great to watch. The atmosphere at home games is good, and brilliant away. The players and fans connect. And there are loads of other positives, big wins etc. Obviously SJM is the main hero, and we really do need to announce the 20 year deal. But I also think John Sim (and perhaps the wider Board) needs major credit (if this Hub is successfully built). He, without full backing and a lot of nae saying from fans, stuck to his guns and implemented the 4G park to enable the transition to a 7 day a week stadium. Should the Hub go ahead, it is a game changer and sets us up in a really strong position going forward: - Massive boost to match day experience, with a (Rovers themed) pub for home and away fans right at the turnstiles. This is something I have been desperate for for a long time having experienced Queens Park's version, which is top class. (I would hope the Hub will eventually having similar art work to that in the South Stand concourse, fan tiles/walls etc, themed tables 'the coca cola corner' etc.). - It should become a money maker, which will over the long term be excellent for sustainability (the 7 day a week element is key, pitch rental and rooms rental in the Hub, but so is the match day income from home and away fans. For both run of the mill games and milking the bigger sides when they come to town.). - Major boost to deepen connections with the community and town - it gets youth teams, local teams, walking teams, non-football groups all in and around Raith Rovers and creates positive associations. This will really help with overall perception and hopefully provides a good platform to sustain/build the support and do even more good in the community. - It looks good. It looks professional. So it should help contribute to attracting folks in - young players, young fans. It's a marker that we have a bit of ambition and realistic foundations to grow and be a premier league club. There are loads of other things too, but those jump out straight away. Anyway, what a transition this last 2-3 years have been on and off the park. Everyone at the club - board, team, fans, volunteers etc. - should be massively proud of themselves for achieving all this in such difficult circumstances. I fucking love the Rovers!

Hank Scorpio Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 Add me to the folk who think Tumilty will go to the Premiership in the summer. Think he could get a game for a bottom 6 team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
