The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

Mitchell, transfer is total shan, he’s obviously the player he is when around better players when playing for the Rovers. 
 

also did Barrowman go to a sales course or is he just a natural 

also oor Davy should be on the sportscene team or sky sports football team.  Or a social worker with his calm personality hahah

Really good interview with Andy Barrowman, a great advert for our club, not only from Barrowman but the professionalism shown from Raith TV is highlighted again. 
 

No major revelations in the interview (other than the railway stand is high on the priority list and that safe standing is something they’d like to introduce) but a good update and one which re-enforces the good feeling around the club just now, and makes me want to take the day off work tomorrow so I can go to the game!

It's incredible how you can go from having CEOs like Drysdale and McCartney where you question why a club like ours would have one, to Barrowman who engages with supporters and paints a clear picture of where we're at.

Go back to Danny Smith and the guy who was Alan Kelly's patsy and it's very much a case of 5th time lucky.

Watched the Andy Barrowman video and as usual he comes over very well. Always impressed with the breadth of things he's involved with. He's up there with Stanton and Brown as important acquisitions to the club.

Getting the seats fixed is a small but decent thing to be doing. It's the sort of upkeep that has been neglected for years but that keeps us ticking over and ready for big games.

The speed of the response to discussion about lack of atmosphere at home cant be faulted either... survey out on the Monday, trial getting organised for the next cup game.

This is a few months in and there's already a massive difference to do many aspects of the club. Every month and year these guys are in charge you sense more positive changes will be made that put us on a good footing longer term.

Looking back at Drysdale I think he tried his best but just got too many things wrong and didn't inspire confidence. McCartney should never have been taking a wage from the club. Glad we've moved on !

I think the likes of Barrowman and there will undoubtedly be others who go unmentioned working at the club who did a power of work in the summer.

Morton was the first league game at home and the crowd was a lot higher than it typically would have been for a game at the end of the sumer holidays. This was well before we were the last minute dot com specialists we've become. So people had bought into the new regime and it was nothing to do with performances on the park. Look at the sponsor page in the programme its absomutly rammed, we've had to build bigger advertising boards next to the dug outs, hospitality is rammed every week. So he's earning his corn in tears of engagement and generating income.

I’m just curious to know, since Livingston are a premiership side and we are going there will VAR be in this game or do they get a choice to run it or not? 

The only tie of the round using VAR is Celtic v Buckie.

Always wonder why we put laddies in for one game then drop them 🤔
 

three at the back again today. Let’s see how this will go. I know I’ve said this a few times and got shot down but get Masson and Corr out on loan. We are not developing them by sitting them on the bench week in week out. Give them the experience that IM obviously thinks they need

Yup 3 defeats on the spin and Murray has to hold his hand up and shoulder some/most of the blame.

Anyone under the misdirected illusion that we are a top flight team in waiting should take a deep breath. We were just bettered by a very poor team regardless of how IM will dress it up in the post match interview.

Ah well! Disappointing result. Another year, another poor financial return from the Cup, over and above the excitement of progressing to the next round.
Get the feeling that next week is an absolute must win v ICT to get the wheels back on the wagon and turning again. Someone has to take some action to get the defence sorted as the Jan window is slowly creaking closed and will speed up as we get closer to the 31st.
