Wacky Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 7 hours ago, Double Jack D said: I don't think you want to go down the rabbit hole of discussing management of clubs finances. Wee team pays its debts. Rovers fans had the chance to vote with their feet regarding the increased price at the recent Dundee United game and, despite quite horrendous weather, we had our biggest home gate in over a decade. I'm not sure I heard any gripes about ticket costs. I get why it boils your piss that Pars fans attending will be boosting the Rovers coffers, but the club exploiting games where there will be significant extra demand to increase the clubs revenue is not something that particularly bothers me. Wow! That was an easy bite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 Tiered pricing makes sense commercially on this occasion, both teams are doing decent and that ultimately dictates the crowd. We aren't the only the club to do it, although granted its usually seen at a higher level. Not a fan of it, personally. Don't see why we should be treating fans of some clubs different than others. Football is expensive enough for most people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think it's a bit shite. To be fair we did it in the early 2000s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
par-adise Posted October 20, 2023 Share Posted October 20, 2023 FWIW, if we get promoted I'm all for fleecing the plastic sevco/celtic fans so would be a hypocrite for calling out Raith for doing the same when the bigger boys are in town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Aye I certainly recall the Pars doing categories back in the early 2000’s in the Premier League. I think the OF were category A, Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen and possibly Dundee Utd category B and everyone else category C. £24 is a silly price for second tier Scottish football, in fact I’d argue it was a silly price for most Premiership games but I’ll be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Taylor Sutherland scored twice for Bonnyrigg today, in a 3-2 win against Clyde. Hopefully this loan move turns out to be successful for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardle is Magic Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 We play Rovers and United in our next three games. If we perform in those games like we’ve done in our previous couple of efforts then we will get battered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Toun Clock Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Apart from that absolute sitter from Jakubiak we don’t look like scoring, just like we didn’t look like scoring against Thistle. We really need to pull the finger out against Raith, another lacklustre Dunfermline nil defeat and we’re in bother, especially with Dundee Utd on the horizon. They annihilated Thistle 0-5 at Firhill today, two weeks after we got emptied 3-0. I know we’re without the main organiser in Bene and our two most creative and influential players in KRH and Matty Todd but the last two games have been beyond p*sh more Peter Grant/Yogi than any of the gutsy stuff we seen last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I never drank the Chalmers Kool-Aid - I thought he was perfectly serviceable in League One but not brilliant, and thought he'd struggle in the higher division. Think Fisher has to start if Bene can't play for any reason, he's young but looks like the only organiser back there. Wighton didn't do much, but then Jakubiak only did one thing and that was miss a sitter, so no idea what we do up top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely some options. Think too many to start would be daft but some could be needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, after today’s performance, I’m not sure I’d be keen to see him play at all next week. He wasn’t the only one to play poorly, but he was the worst of the defenders and didn’t look anywhere near fit enough to be out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen absolutely nothing from Allan to suggest he should be starting, a large part of us looking better in the second half was Aye standing off, and it led to me wanting Chalmers to still be on tbh. I'm struggling for a lineup for next week, everyone looked shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Toun Clock Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 On 12/10/2023 at 14:13, The Toun Clock said: Not necessarily. I'm basing if off the last game played, 3-0 thumping by Thistle. Either Chalmers or Hamilton could drop out for Otoo as the pair of them were like two farts in a bag. Based on the Thistle game no ones place in the team is safe or guaranteed . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
