Raith Against The Machine Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 f**k Simmons, there's rent to be discussed. I'm going to weigh in with: Are you sure it's not 8 payments even though you're there for 9 months, or similar? It can make the rent seem like more than it is, in real terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzreid Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 http://www.thecourie...en-simmons.html A somewhat interesting interview with Stephen Simmons. Claims the players were told in January there would be massive cuts if we didn't win the league. Not an ideal thing to be telling the players. Someone really, really, really fucked up with the budget last season. What kind of crowds were we aiming for?! We were up 500 on average. I'm certain that I remember either Somerville saying the same thing in the press at the turn of the year as well. It might have added a little too much pressure on the players but I'd also rather have a Chairman being brutally honest about the clubs future spending abilities. As for last years budget, once again I can remember Somerville saying at the close of 09/10 that only the Scottish Cup Money had prevented similar cuts from taking effect last season and that a portion of the money would be used to fund a larger squad than we could otherwise afford. I'm not suggesting that we got the sums bang on but nor am I throwing myself off a roof with the worry about it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm entirely sure how, that's what the email said. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoss Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Anyone interested if I were to run a minibus through to away games next season? (Or indeed, any existing groups looking for bus hire?) I should be able to get reasonably cheap hire of a 16 seater through my work and was wondering if I could make use of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in some, but I work a lot of Saturday nights so I wouldn't be there every week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckSFAfan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Going back to the guy moving to Kirkcaldy Was wondering some of the better neighbourhoods ? Gallatown ( close to the arena so I could coach ice hockey ) , Strathallen , Dunniker . What neighbourhoods to avoid? Your opinions would be helpful . May be tempted to make the move over there from Canada 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Seafield is pretty nice, and very handy if you're looking to get along to Starks Park. Anywhere up Oriel Road would be a decent area, as are Raith Estate and the area around the Beveridge Park. I live up Dunnikier, but it's probably not as good as it used to be (there's a few complete arseholes kicking about at nights). Hollybrae wouldn't be a bad shout either. I'd avoid the following: (at great risk of offending fellow Raith fans who read this thread) The links, the Gallatown and Smeaton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanuckSFAfan Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Thanks MW Too bad about Gallatown ( can always drive to arena ) Oriel runs into Strathallen , seen some very reasonably priced homes in that area . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Scorpio Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Avoid The Links, Smeaton, Gallatown, the area round the south side of the hospital, The Valley and Templehall. However, where possible, go for the area round about the court (beveridge road), all the bits up Oriel Road, Raith Estate, Dunnikeir, Holly Brae, and Ravenscraig. They'll all be available for less than my FUCKING RENT. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 They'll all be available for less than my FUCKING RENT. Does it cover gas and leccy? I'll be paying £380 a month next year, by me I mean using my student loan and my parents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Okay, I'll see if I can get some prices off them tomorrow. I'd be interested in this Yoss and I'm sure my neebur would be interested too. Feel that I should stand up for the Gallatown but apart from the Overton part of it I can't really think of any decent bits. The Fairway and surrounding areas are alright too. Great place to grow up but Fife Council's magnificent policy of filling a great community with junkies has been to the serious detriment of the district. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
