raith1974 Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 2 minutes ago, RR #1 said: Aye miles away from the town centre, train station or any pubs. Considering the railway runs through the centre of Kirkcaldy in mainly built up areas its not likely a stadium would ever be built in the centre of town. Any areas would need to be at the North end of Kdy or out on land near the Kinghorn end that looks down towards Balwearie Golf Course. If and its a big if we ever have money to built a new stadium then surely they would build something decent in the stadium for fans to use. You also have the Spiral Weave, Chapel Home Farm not far away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Short of a significant lottery winner amongst our support deciding there’s nothing better they’d like to do with £10/15M than build us a stadium it just isn’t going to happen, which is a great shame as Stark’s is a millstone round our neck in many way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) For the level of our support and excluding the Pars, Falkirk, Dundee, and any Old firm we may get at home in the league or cups, do we really need those huge stands, probably not.. and in hindsight it's a pity Reclaim the Rovers wasn't continued over the 17 years or so for just this eventuality, at least we might've been able to buy the Club back if nothing else Edited December 21, 2022 by SirJimmyofNic 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first season I started going to games I think we had an average attendance of about 3 or 4 thousand. I don't think anyone really expected for football to become over-saturated to the point you can now watch games pretty much anywhere in the world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end, Raith are a club that could easily do well with a nice, tidy 4,000 capacity field. That would work for all but an occasional Pars or Dundee match of importance, or any OF match.

Just an FYI, £10-15 million would probably only get a partially completed 5,000 seater. Boston United built a new stadium for £12 million, got 2,155 seats, 1,124 standing and two areas to be completed….and that was in 2020 pounds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
