Specky Ginger Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Already on it. She's due in January! The point stands though. The board need to make a big effort to get younger fans in. It's not an easy task but, I'm not sure what they have really done the past few years? I haven't seen anything publicised. Don't know how much of it was directly a board initiative, but there's lots going on with the Roary Club. They have the family day in the north stand, they get rewards and gifts for attending games and they get a birthday and Christmas card sent from the Rovers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miloman Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Biggest issue......the quality of what is being served up by the team on the pitch. We won the Ramsdens but have done nothing since. The Locke "era" was a mess, fans left in droves, it's a long road back in this league to start winning again and getting fans back through the gate. A good run will attract the fans back but other than an attractive cup run there's no "big" games. Currently the ground is probably too big, there's no atmosphere, everyone sits on their bums and just watch. Getting promoted is vital to take us forward.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith25 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Kids just want excitement and goals, the more we keep winning the more those who came along will want to stay, I've said this before but I don't see why the club can't send a few players along to primary schools to have a kick about with the kids and give out a few free tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could be in the top league and there would still be little or no atmosphere. With the introduction of seating football has been changed. I think society has possibly also changed in the last 20 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though it really is a different place out there though, free time is harder to come by these days and the convenience of TV football with 'big' names has stolen a lot of the potential crowd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the introduction of seating football has been changed. I think society has possibly also changed in the last 20 years. I think your initial point isn't wholly true. The second point is Imo the more accurate but is still subject to a wee qualification. Look at any of the three largest grounds in the country and fans who were there twenty years ago will all say atmosphere was better then. A massive factor has to be numbers, I have been in Hampden with over eighty thousand inside and it knocks spots off the current atmosphere. Likewise when we played England at capacity it was a great atmosphere......where as at home to Lithuania in front of thirty thou isn't going to be nears good. In a similar vein six thousand at Starks against Hibs, Pars etc will generate if not a great atmosphere then certainly a beer one than we see at present. Seating is an issue but not as much as numbers Imo. The next question is would safe standing increase numbers? As mentioned elsewhere think the ageing support is another factor in poor atmosphere, no disrespect to Gav and Fife's Finest but like me most of these guys are pushing fifty, where are the next generation? they're late.

Big Berk Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 If we beat Ayr at Stark's next they'll really be on the back foot. Looks like the doing Hibs gave them has dented their confidence; they were lucky at Stair Park last week too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when we last won 5-0 away from home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a strange day. It was a Saturday and for some reason we didn't appear to have a game. Funny thing was, neither did Celtic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my pal's 18th at the Ravenscraig hotel and I was throwing pints down like a seasoned drinker. I can only assume that the buzz of having the final to go to completely obliterated the inevitable hangover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatowner Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 New goalie - mehFull-backs - both reasonable use of the ball and rarely caught out of position.Bene - wanted to foul people all day (mostly not needed)Davo - stupid booking, getting slower every monthMidfield worked well as a unit and good distribution. Buchanan - excellent, excellent movementSpence - tried hardOverall teamwork - we bossed the game, kept possession when required, harried East Fife when required. Scored 5 goals. Teamwork was greater than the sum of the individual parts. Most pleasing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
