Scottydog Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Looks like the Fixtures computer has had its usual mare for us (shafted again). Every team gets a request for a home or away game on a certain date, Police Scotland tell Rovers to request an away game in April when the Links market is here. This blows our chances of a new year derby at home virtually every year. At least the Yuletide fixtures are both at home. No jaunts to Ayr or Greenock on boxing day. I think the polis love putting a spanner in the works, if it's not costing the club financially with fixture dates it's cancelling new years games on the strength of a weather forecast because they don't have the manpower. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch will likely be fine, I think the undersoil heating has been fixed and I'd imagine we'd have it on for a big gate. Doesn't the Pars undersoil heating work dependant on how many key players they have injured? The groundsman so worried about the injured players that he "forgets" to turn it on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last six times we've shared a league Raith have had the home New Year derby on three occasions, Dunfermline have had it three occasions, with it alternating every time. The last time we shared a league, Raith had the home fixture over new year, which means we get it this season. If we're in the same division next season then Raith will get it. 23 minutes ago, Ebanda's Handyman Services said: Doesn't the Pars undersoil heating work dependant on how many key players they have injured?

I’m not buying that, unless you have actual evidence of that occurring. The polis would make that request with the League directly, along with every other “conflict” they’d like mitigated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've played the Pars at home for the new year derby in the 21/22, 16/17, 10/11 while the Pars had 09/10, 12/13, 20/21 and 23/24. I'd fully expect there is a gentleman's agreement to alternate the fixture each season. The new year game is far more likely to get moved given the weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the tartan, wore it many times when I’ve hired a kilt. But if it’s part of the strip, in that picture it doesn’t really match with the colours shown on other parts of the top. Will reserve judgement but already wishing they had made the whole strip tartan! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the better club tartans, always meant to buy a scarf. Wonder if they are still available. Didn't like the original tartan one but then I seem to be the one person that hated the Barca one. Can't see how tartan fits with the navy blue image, intrigued. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
