The Tiel Burn Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 (edited) Spoke to Bene when he was down the town with Davo. He said pars offered 2 year deal Rovers 1. Money he described as "life changing" with a family to support. Not believing for a moment Pars are stupid enough to be paying 100k per year. More that it's maybe £1000--£2000 extra a month (pure guesswork) More concerned he is now their recruitment agent with any selection of 3 Rovers joining him. Sad that McDonald's leaving, want to keep Connolly but you can't judge departures till you know the signings. We've got a greater internal skillset now within the club than recent years so let's not panic.

The stewards should have made them sit in the hundreds of empty seats at the front, not allowing them to stand and block the view of the game as well as the stairs to the concourse. They were saying that folk up the back weren't allowing them back up. Enjoyed the game though and looking forward to next season. COYR Well wee bro, that's the reason our 4 season tickets are being moved next season. Seek of their carryon. As someone else mentioned, up and down all the game when they canny sit still. Chucking coins and sweets at their own fans and generally being a nuisance winding up the stewards etc. We are moving to the railway side quite near the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Could the ‘young team’ not be given the section of the railway stand that is open? Would allow them to have their own space to grow and do whatever displays they wish and enjoy themselves (within reason) knowing that anyone around them is there for the same reasons, similar to what the Pars have done with their fans in the NW stand? I know that would be quite far from the rest of the home support so wouldn’t help improve the atmosphere in the South Stand but might be something worth trying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendry still a class act, I think he's been decent but with little support from his team. Its good to see that our league can develop players capable of playing down South. Just out of interest between Hendry and Bowie who did Rovers fans a) rate higher in their time at the Rovers and b) think would be the better long term player after moving to England. Logan Chalmers on the bench for Tranmere too. Would've loved to have kept him in January but it wasn't to be.

From the outside looking in, I cant see it. Yeah it’s a fair point. I still think it’s doable, there are grounds where home and away fans are closer than that. Could even shut off the two sections of the North Stand closest to that section if we were overly concerned. The only away support that would need the whole stand next season would be Dunfermline and I would agree it would probably too much of risk to have our fans in the railway stand for that one. Would obviously need to be policed properly by the club and the group themselves. Sounds like the club are looking to open up regular communication with the group so hopefully that trust and responsibility will help ensure they behave themselves properly. Ideal scenario would be to have them in the railway stand closest to the south stand if it was safe but would be an unnecessary expense at the moment to get it in the required condition I’d imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie had the raw materials which is why Fulham took a chance in him, but Hendry was and still is a more accomplished player. Bowie has looked a bit lost in this match. Not sure he suits playing through the middle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The security of the 2 year deal was why he moved, Benedictus is not on over 100 grand a year. That’s actually exactly what was discussed/rumoured last year when it happened with both him and Frankie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Wouldn't want to lose Connolly tbh, particularly to Dunfermline. Not overly fussed about anyone else to be honest. I do wonder however if the lack of available players since early April is in any way linked to plans for next season from those players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane Hemmings is another familiar face. According to Louis' Parents he was signing for the Rovers, a wee bit down the line, 'aye, he'll definitely sign, just have to see how his exam results go' Ray fucked off the the Arabs, so did he. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
