Sponsoring a football club is going into a partnership of sorts with them. This means that you should care about the values of the club and Raith have shown their values to be in the gutter. Anyone sponsoring them is risking their message being tainted.
-
To be honest it's probably something that has been done by the Kirkcaldy branch of AMC, applying for and being granted funding for the sponsorship. I'd be surprised if the head office in Halifax are aware of the nonsense that went on at Stark's Park last season.

Falkirk give free tickets to U12s and STs went on sale before us. I think 2000 will be a good number condidering cost of living and the rubbish the fans have been served up in recent times. I think we were near 3000 when we had free u12 tickets, team was a bit better and the economy wasn't a complete distaster.

Quite disappointed in Andy's Man's Club. After last years shameful debacle the club is badly tainted, no more so than the board that remains largely in place.

They went on sale a week earlier than us though (2 June to our 9 June). Calculating an average sales per day on sale we're ahead 🙂

For all the rovers fans that stayed away cause goodwillie was signed, probably are back now yet he’s still employed by them😂. That bellend Shaughan McGuigan said on his tv show that when he signed that he’d never be back until goodwillie was gone, yet was back for the cup final. But for the point of the post, I don’t understand why anyone would want to be associated with them after the last few months, and the fact he’s still at the rovers

Still to get my season ticket too but defo getting it
-
Mon let’s beat Falkirk at least, they are hitting 1500 today

I agree that friendlies are just preparation for the real stuff. As the squad is so light it should be easy to ensure everyone gets a run out. It is possible to draw some conclusions from the preseason. Last year’s matches showed a softness in conceding goals at important times that continued all season.

To be fair, I've just checked and his first class average is only 20 and he's only one century. I've got extended family in Taunton so I keep an eye out for them. They're never won the County championship and have found new and innovative ways to lose it on the last day - two or three times in the last dozen years or so. In lockdown, they seemed to specialise in top order failures, only for someone at the tail end to take a stand and drag them to something near respectability. Overton's name rings a bell because of that, but it can't have been him all the time with that average - van der Merwe might have been another one. All of which is informative, if not interesting... -
I think the main purpose of these games is for the squad to get some game time under their belts and as such, the result is secondary to the performance. Still and all, winning games is a habit we lost some time ago. It would be nice to rediscover it - the sooner the better.

Yeah that’s the one. Tbf I’m sure it was only a couple of times he batted at 11 and is clearly more than capable but that wouldn’t have sounded anywhere near as impressive. -

Is it the same Overton that was at Somerset? If so, I'm sure he batted 7 or 8 for them and often dug them out of bother in the County Championship when they were 6 down for not many. -
Pre season friendly away at Coves Balmoral stadium where the Pars will face a newly installed but familiar manager in Jim McIntyre It will also be a new start for the Pars with their new Manager Jim McPake. A couple of new faces may appear for the Pars in Benidictus and Hamilton but the rest of the squad should be familiar unless a Trialist appears on the team sheet. The most interesting aspect is how the players line up and the shape we play Hopefully we can quickly dispell the dirge of last season and open with a positive win and start the season with a winning mentality.

What a days cricket at Headingly today. Bairstow doing Bairstow things again but fair play to the lad Overton, 89 from 106 balls against some of the best bowlers on the planet. For a boy whose batted at 11 for Surrey in the past that’s extraordinary. -
Aye it's okay bud, thanks.
-
No worries neebs. Hope everything is ok
-
Still to get mine too. Good number though, I reckon we'll crack the 2000 mark.
-
Opinions on players is just normal business for us fans. I agree he needs to do better this season. I also agree he did not deserve that abuse, it was out of order.
-
I was revved up and raring to go, but a family situation threw itself my way after work, as it seems to do with alarming frequency nowadays.
-
It worries me that mcpake mentioned he’s injured again. He spent a long time out injured last season and then took time to get up to speed, by the time he did so he was injured again. Maybe not be saying it if he was younger but at his age it does suggest his body is giving up on him.
-
Wow, that's excellent. Not got mine yet, but will be.
-
Good to hear from COWS that the total sold thus far is 1200. I just wonder what the final total will be given a league down and the ongoing financial crisis. Good stuff that far. COYP.
