grumswall Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I wouldn't mind so much if they were Saturday evenings like the Stranraer v Pars game tomorrow but this Friday night thing is a pisstake for matches that aren't exactly local! games that aren't local in the run up to Christmas, what's not to like about them being on TV? There will be a reduced crowd regardless so at least it's games that are away from home and it's not costing our club in lost revenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lellywong Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'll be going to the 200 Club to watch these games. Cheap drink with all proceeds going to Raith Rovers. Good banter also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary Bear Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Friday 18th December......the night alot of people will be at work Xmas parties....sensible. Yep. Maybe they see it as a challenge. That's a fucking challenge and a half, trying to draw a crowd to a football match on Black Friday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It's win win win for the fans. They don't have 2 away trips coming up to Christmas unless they want to. Away games so the club don't lose gate money. Far flung fans get 2 games they would never have seen. bit strange having 2 games on the box back to back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liam_barnett Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 It's win win win for the fans. They don't have 2 away trips coming up to Christmas unless they want to. That's just it, there will be fans who want to go but now can't due to the games being switched to Friday nights & as I said not exactly local. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGQ FAE KDY Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I am away to see the grand kids weekend of the morton game so wont be there but will be able to watch it down there on tv unless my grandaughter has me watching dora or tom and jerry.None of our lads will be at greenock so they will be able to see the game in pub or house.Still a lot of pish having 2 long journeys in december on consecutive fridays in the lead up to christmas.Do these idiots running scottish football have a clue what the fans want or how much hassle it is to get to the games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 You could argue that it was already a piece of nonsense that we were given those fixtures in the build up to Christmas anyway. It'll obviously dissuade some people from going who were contemplating it, but by the same token, it'll allow a far larger number of Rovers fans to see a game they previously wouldn't have. It'll actually disadvantage Morton and QOS more, as they'll miss out on the gate receipts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Tbf, Cappielow pretty much gives the same feel as a stadium in downtown Aleppo. Queens away is a good day out usually so that's a bit of a shame. As Shaughan says, it's not our gate receipts on the receiving end.

Lang Toun Lad Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Really? That's a shame. Was good to have a website with interesting and detailed articles about the lower leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 After 10 games of the season we have almost half the points total we gained during the entire 2014/15 season. Some effort so far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie_Munrover Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Feeling chuffed! Managed to get 6 of my pals to come to the game next week... Most of them live in Glasgow or Edinburgh. They've not been to the rovers in years... The teams results/performances are turning heads again.... Finally feels like the rovers of old. buzzin! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Yesterday was on the verge of letting some dafties back out their cage before we got the goal. Some of the abuse of McCord was pretty OTT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted October 18, 2015 Share Posted October 18, 2015 Different vibe this season in the stands. Everyone seems much more together. A change was needed, and we got it. I don't think you can argue there is anything more to it than that. Murray went into last season having a record of 3 wins out of the last 20 league matches of the season. Yes, we won the Ramsdens, but we weren't far off being in 9th place. Murray was under serious pressure from the fans and that wasn't forgotten about during the close season. We started well but did our usual and slumped, with a good period of form just after Christmas coming on the back of some terrible form. Things then dipped again towards the end and Murray was dismissed. Even if we ignore the management issue, look at last season's squad and now. I think I was miffed to see Hill go (although I understood the reasons behind it) and also was disappointed with Paul Watson. Lo and behold, we don't miss either of those two players at all. There are still issues with the squad but the most important aspect is that we don't miss anyone who isn't here and the current squad is an improvement. Only a fresh pair of eyes would've made the changes that have occurred. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
