Not sure they had much choice, its a limited window but it is great to see that things are starting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lellywong Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 How about asking the supporters which design is best? We could produce a few design possibilities and have an online poll. Most votes win. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think East Fife did that for what ended up being their tartan'esque home top and think Morton did something similar in recent years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t be surprised if it would be a surprise sales hit. No just no, you'll be wanting us to turn Vegan next ala Forest Green. Mind you that might tempt the maestro Hendry back .............. on second thoughts let's go for it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also saw social media post about huge amount of training gear (the stuff which has found its way into the club shop in the past) being donated to local good cause. Moving away from Joma? It’s all old unused Puma kits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limited capability to design on a site I found via a quick search…but take this and brighten the green up to full neon and take a white outline of the Raith crest like we did with the red on blue last year, but larger and wrapping from the middle under the right arm…get it bright enough and the kids will go for it. Joma does this, just mute the pattern, insert the crest, continue the green in back, and change to Navy blue: Edited May 15, 2023 by TxRover 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid not to if we are rewiring/plumbing/laying out the whole place. I’d make sure there’s a couple of outlets, a Cat5e or Cat6 cable, and an optical cable at each one. The cost to wire it now is peanuts, and if the conduit for the data cables is run right, it’ll be easy enough to update if necessary down the road. Yea, most stuff can be done WiFi or Bluetooth now, but why not spend a few pence now to save pounds down the road? It’s also a show to the players that we’re serious about this stuff. You can laugh about how we can show a player we’re interested in that his locker will have a couple of outlets, but that stuff can actually work. An accumulation of little things can show what the club is trying to do, and result in big things. Hell, it may seem silly to provide some upgrades in the Visitors Dressing Room, but even a few touches there can give a positive impression to visiting players (and managers/coaches)…and who knows when that can be the difference in signing someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away dressing rooms should have the bare minimum amenities. Do any stadium tour and the away dressing rooms are basic (in contrast to the home dressing room) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Toun Lad Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 Why would you install CAT6 or optical outlets at each spot in a changing room? Maybe at the head of the room for the manager connecting to the TVs for show and tell but not for every player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreverarover Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 9 hours ago, R.R.FC said: Happy enough with that. I assume Masson will go out on loan, at least for the first half of the season and get a good number of games under his belt. Mitchell will be squad filler but offers good pace and may develop further. As others have said, the fact that Young hasn’t announced with them suggests he is away. Not really seen enough of him to know what standard he is at but Murray will know best. Not sure how reliable but I heard we offered a deal to a Premier League left back that was out of contract but he then received a renewal from his current team which he subsequently signed. So if we are in the market for a new left back, as I think we need to be, then it makes sense for Young to move on as with Dick reported as in talks over a new deal he would likely have ended up as third choice. IMO I don't think having Mitchell as a squad filler will do anything to help him develop. Put him out on loan for a few months to a better standard of team and see if he can hack it or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying make them as fully fitted out as the Home Dressing Room, but providing the required items plus a few minor updates…maybe a location with plugs rather than in the lockers, a couple of speakers they can play some music over, minor stuff like that costs very little but gives a positive impression of Raith to opposition players…and God knows we’ve signed plenty of people who have played against us at some time. The age of opposition Dressing Rooms painted pink, with no warm water, etc, is over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
