Raith Against The Machine Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 21 minutes ago, Hank Scorpio said: We cannot do anything right. Mortifying. There seems to be a real disconnect between whoever's actually doing things, and who sticks them on Twitter. There's this, a few weeks back there was something about tickets going on sale but the Twitter person had misread it and it was for a completely different match, and yesterday's tribute to Bobby Stein was originally tweeted as "Bobby Reid". The social media output looks the business now with Lesley Fleming's photos in particular, but the substance behind them is severely lacking at times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 We could be sitting on maximum points with a double digit goal difference, playing free flowing attacking football with Dunfermline bottom getting pumped left right and centre and I'd still have slight trepidation ahead of a derby game No doubt McGlynn will have done his homework and just have to hope we take our 2nd half performance against Aberdeen into this one. Appreciate we've had couple of seaside league visits in recent times but I think it's only 2 defeats to Dunfermline at Starks Park in last 10 years or so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graeme_p Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 A wee reminder for any disabled Dunfermline fans wanting tickets. Raith have removed all concessions for disabled fans. So you will have to pay FULL PRICE to attend Starks Park. A different universe from the way disabled fans are treated at East End. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Board being greedy this year but they have a history of having bad attitude to disabled fans. Removed the 50% discount this year after about 20 years. A few years back they tried to do away with the Free Carers provision. Dunfermline go out of their way for disabled fans. We treatboyrs with contempt. http://chng.it/ghpHSxqkXD 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best bet would be contact the SLO/ DADSC see if they can make representations to Raith and the central umbrella organisations for disabled fans and Supporters Direct. Although you might already have done that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Shove your tickets up your arse. Fucking greedy, tiny, tinky wee club as always from Rovers, I'd be embarrassed beyond belief if we charged full price for disabled spectators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking greedy, tiny, tinky wee club as always from Rovers, I'd be embarrassed beyond belief if we charged full price for disabled spectators. I'm just going to get the 0p in the pound comment out the way now to save a few frothy mouthed posts later on. Ideally we'd have kept the disabled gate but we've been hit pretty much universally across our fan base with increases. Season ticket costs and pay at the gate have both gone up. Obviously you can say this will have disproportionately hit disabled fans. I can't speak for the club but the best bet is to contact the SLO or the club themselves. Petitions or fans forums are unlikely to make a difference. If you still didn't get anything back from them in that instance I'd talk with fans groups and see if something can organised on a match day to raise awareness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one exception to this is the kids pricing which is excellent this season. Wasn’t aware of the raise in prices for disabled supporters. Even poorer given the dreadful facilities once you’re inside. Shoved down the front with a crap view and virtually no cover. Was inclusiveness not one of the values recently announced? Would like to see the club provide much better facilities and pricing on this front. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flip side of this I've just phoned the club up and got a disabled ticket for my 20 year old son and me and its only cost £12 for the both of us. So not sure how people can complain about the pricing as this is the price for U21's. Even if he was over 21 and i had to pay the £20 for a ticket it still means that both of us are getting to go for £20. It takes 5 minutes to phone the club and the personnel on the other end of the phone couldnt have been more helpful. Maybe if in the past fans hadn't abused the disability ticket system then they would have it on the website but i genuinely cant see the issue with having to phone the club to get a ticket. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear, although equality wise all fans should really have access to the same booking method though. Phoning, no matter how quick and easy, is an additional barrier being placed in front of fans with disabilities. If there’s concern about abuse then it doesn’t really help as presumably someone at it can just as easily bluff over the phone. The turnstiles is the place to carry out checks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry should have added that IAW the Rovers website i have to take the proof of his PIP to the ground with me when i go. This was told to me on the phone as well as reading it on the website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
