I look forward to see the difference in the crowds at both games, bearing in mind that Raith will probably bring more away fans than Inverness. A betting man would bet on the bigger club getting the bigger attendance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steakngravy Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Doesn't look to healthy for the game on Saturday Ayr with 6 first team players out due to the virus. Hopefully they will be OK. Was really looking forward to this as it has been a wee while since I was last in Ayr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSDR 88 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 When do we find out if this is on or not? I noticed that the Rovers fans bus has been cancelled by the organisers at the Club as hardly any intake - which is fair enough considering folk will hold off for confirmation of game on/off, but surely I’d have thought if game on - say confirmed tonight, more folk would take that option up tonight/tomorrow… anyway rambling away. For me if it’s only 6 players out isolating, it has to be game on with still circa 13 players still available… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise any buses had been organised in all honesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thereisalight.. Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'd hope we organise the game for sooner rather than later. Cant be fcked waiting until March or something ridiculous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrover Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Common sense decision IMO, sadly with the daft rules in place about isolation we'll have a lot more postponements of games in the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem seems to mainly be around the fact most our players have only had their 1st jab, meaning a longer isolation period is required. Hopefully the majority of players by now won't be far off getting their second, which will reduce the risks and if required time isolating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of people online unhappy with the rearranged date. Personally I’m glad we’re playing it soon and as I don’t particularly follow the national team it suits me fine.

We lose customers, and annoy season ticket holders - many of us support both. It is completely dismissive of the fans.

Yeah I get that plenty folk don't care about Scotland games but as you say, plenty too. I've already made plans to watch Scotland game in the pub with my dad and a couple of pals, so that's 2 or maybe 3 that would normally have been at Somerset that won't be now. Just seems daft making folk have to choose - not sure how much say the club would actually have though ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see any way in which the clubs would be forced to play at the same time and date as a Scotland game. Yeah, I have plans for the Austria game too. It just pisses me off, I got a season ticket to support the club (despite missing games due to working weekends) however I would still like some value out of it so to rearrange the game on a day which forces you to choose which to watch isn’t great. It just increases my apathy, as it runs alongside the shambolic on pitch offerings and the lack of signing updates. Make it Wednesday, make it an earlier kick off - it’s not difficult!

roverthemoon Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Stupid decision to go up against the National side playing. Will definitely cost the home club money. Any reason why 24 hours later wasn’t available? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure us and Raith were only told about the game AFTER the authorities had decided on a date. I’d be very suprised if it was us who initiated the date/time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
