I really don’t think Glenrothes is the “untapped potential” that’s it’s currently regarded. This 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you quote where I said I want us to move? Obsessive get a grip, it’s a discussion of Raith Rovers. Sorry your move was “past tense”. Moving to the outskirts of Kirkcaldy does nothing for the club, there’s no untapped fan base in Glenrothes that’ll suddenly be supporting us, building a new stadium is a good idea but it needs to be built in an area that’s relatively close to the Centre. Teams that moved away from their traditional homes did so because they sold the land for £s and for no other reason.

The fact is, we'll never know, neither you nor I. It's well past being too late to care; I have my thoughts on the matter and you have yours, you should accepted that at the beginning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 With all the success the club have had re-issuing classic kits, the next step should be to petition Copa for a modern take on the Diadora shellsuits that everyone on the bench had that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Still laugh at the fact that we were sponsored by Jackie O. Seemed fitting given some of the characters in that team. Even funnier when you think Kelly’s Copiers ditched us as sponsors when we were relegated from the Premier the previous season and missed out on the wall-to-wall coverage that came along with our win. No luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pub car king Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Any move to new ground as unlikely as it is would have to be to a stadium/complex that would work 7 days a week as a facility that does so much more than football. Such as office space restaurants and shops with a shitload of parking and access to public transport. It would be a huge undertaken that bigger clubs than the rovers would struggle with. Unless we have a decade in the top flight and substantially larger crowds we are stating put. Sim is growing what we have a d trying to make the best of it. It's taken about 15 years to replace broken seats so progress isn't going to be rapid. The new portacabin is a huge step and shows the ambition. The ground needs sustained investment as well as maintenance they must be considering the pitch again as I'm sure it has a lifespan of 7 years and has been down what 3 years? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
