Easy to get to for travelling fans with a choice of pubs or eateries close by. I'd hope that a new stadium would have home and away bars that sold food too. Pie in the sky just now and for the foreseeable future unfortunately. Problem is that such a location will have a high rental/purchase cost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rover1990 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 FFP saying that Euan Murray has signed a new deal and expected to be announced soon, great news if true. Other players that have been offered new deals have better financial offers on table from other clubs so its a wait and see with them. We are also looking at a goalie whos dad has Raith connections. Only one I can link of is Robbie Thomson who would be a good signing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted with Robbie Thomson if true, FFP to dig out photo of him as a newly born before the cup final, when/if he signs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks isn't difficult to get to and it's only a short walk from town centre, bus station and more importantly the train station. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank conner Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Did he not play against us for QOS? If it's the same one he didn't look that good tbh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raithie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Assuming ‘better financial offers’ means teams in the Championship I’m surprised they’d be looking at players like Davo/Lennox/Robertson etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. It'd be utterly brutal to get a train through to the game, only to have to wait for a bus or get a taxi to a stadium up to the top of the town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken Algorithms Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Also, I'd be happy with Robbie Thomson signing. More first team experience than Lennox had. We've been spoiled for goalkeepers over the last decade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Can only really see Bene getting better offers from other clubs tbh. Thomson is rumoured as well of course but to Arbroath. Scott Robertson spent half the season injured and has a coaching role so can’t see him being off and surely nobody would be in for Davo, who’s not getting any younger and is almost a part of the furniture at Stark’s. Hope we don’t lose Bene and on balance would like to keep Davo and Robertson but wouldn’t be overly fussed if either of those two left.So so far we have Murray, Buchanan, McKay, Vaughan and Matthews for next season + the U20s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Sure I read in an interview with Bene not long after the playoffs that he was keen to stay. Also if we sign Thomson then Brian is more than adequate as a back up so for that reason hopefully one of the players attracting attention elsewhere is Lennox. Think it's quite imperative we hold onto Davo and assuming we can keep Robertson fit he'll be a handy player at this level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) Bene seemed quite keen to stay. Interesting to find out which clubs are in for some of these players... @Raithie beating me to it.. Edited May 17, 2018 by Wardy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invocr Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I'm sure we have this "should we move to a new stadium" debate every close season before we have any signing news to moan about. As much as I can see the failings of Stark's Park - I'd far rather stay there (plastic pitch and all) than have an out of town stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1320Lichtie Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Stark’s is brilliant. You’d be better just having the railway side done up instead of moving. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
