It’s sad because I think we have a few talented players but they’re being managed by an idiot who claims he “won” the League Cup with Birmingham even though he was mostly rearranging cones for Alex McLeish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallumPar Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I do think we’d take closer to 2k if it wasn’t on a Friday night and on council tele. If we’d had anything at all to give us positivity in our 3 games since real football began, I think we’d still be close to 2000 tomorrow and be around 2500/3000 if it was on a Saturday. But there’s a genuine expectation we’ll get completely outplayed again and it’s much easier to watch on the BBC and turn off once it gets ugly, than have to worry about the journey home.Probably doesn’t help as well, that ScotRail is awful and the earliest you can get back to Dunfermline via train is 23:52, with an hour long stopover in Inverkeithing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halbeath Raith Rover Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Raith not doing much to encourage home fans.. still nothing on the official site except if you scroll through the twitter bit at the bottom, which is blocked on most work pc's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of our group that go to games are going tomorrow. The farcical mess on the park, the obnoxious manager and the general crap managerial appointments and wasted budgets over the last 5 years have just taken it's toll. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I'm the only person going out of the folk I normally go to games with and tbh I'm going in hope, it's a pretty shit prospect drive there because public transport is a ball ache, have 1 pint pre match, sit watch whatever we are served up, go home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 In all honesty, I can't imagine many people use the website as a direct source for information. If the club have news, I will go to the website when I see something posted on twitter or Facebook. I'd expect they have an idea of engagement on the website compared to social media. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but they should still have the information up there. They are either massively short-staffed or it’s just laziness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Someone in charge of the Rovers Twitter would have been better pinning the tweet that has the ticket links in it to the top rather than have folk scrolling about trying to find it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has posted about tickets 15 times in the past 3 days on social media, each account having thousands of followers. They sent a direct email out about the Aberdeen game yesterday with a mention of getting along to the derby on Friday. John McGlynn himself has urged supporters to buy tickets in press interviews and the pre-match interview on RaithTV yesterday (posted on the website and social media). With over 24 hours until kick-off, and ticket barcodes being emailed to people’s phones (meaning paper tickets don’t need collected in person), there will be more social media posts to come along with ticket details in the weekly Digest mailout tomorrow.

HoBNob Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 3 hours ago, JFPar said: Agreed. I'd have been angry if fans were at the 5-1 game but at least Raith actually played some good football that sometimes you just have to accept that the better team won. The 3-0 game was pretty even then we just absolutely chucked it. Looking back at the players we had in that team I'm not surprised, spineless charlatans. Tbf we were the better team uptil the second Rovers goal, then it was a capitulation. Thankfully in Amsterdam for that one. 2 hours ago, RRFC1989 said: Any reason why? This is the first fife derby with fan attendance since January 2019. Even giving our short falls with ticket sales, there was still more than enough time to purchase them. Surely it being on the BBC is putting people off. Loads of reasons, absolute apathy from the fans, feels like it doesn't matter a f**k what you do with regards to raising money, turning up in numbers etc the club will then piss it all up the wall with there amateur way of running the football side of the club. Seen a tweet from an ex employee that seems to reckon we aren't a well run football club, it's hard to disagree. 2 hours ago, Enigma said: Despite it all, on paper at least, you still have a decent Championship squad. We're utterly lacking in centre midfield, particularly defensively. It's a massive deficiency in his transfer dealings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s hardly been a shining example of fan engagement. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 It's saying something that this has probably been one of the most tedious build ups to a Derby I can remember. Looking forward to the actual game so we have something to discuss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baillieinleeds Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 There seems to be a real apathy from Pars fans. Give Peter Grant a chance. I’m sure he’ll get things right. Watch this they’ll probably win grrrrrr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
