CALDERON Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've been in a few times over the years and iirs been OK, but never had sky etc for the lunchtime games. Don't know if that's changed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ding Dang Doo Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Raith Suite before Brora match had ITV 3 on the TVs with a rerun of Emmerdale on I believe. The suite itself looked dated...it's never changed. As for hospitality over last few seasons I was told if you had a season ticket you'd get £10 off making it £40 for a 2 course meal, half bottle of wine and some half time grub....is there any wonder it was failing. Commercial stuff at Rovers is beyond a joke. I tried to book hospitality for this match weeks ago and was told it was sold out within days of bookings being allowed. Shame as I've heard it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Not sure what to make of this. Confident we'll score, but that in itself doesn't win games. I had a look at East Fife's squad. I'd say ours is stronger but that's without knowing anything about most of the players. Ben Gordon was a very good player at Championship level and Chris Duggan seems to score a decent amount of goals. Then there's Kevin Smith, who was our stop scorer when we won the league. Other than that, I don't know much else - a few names I've heard but nothing in particular I remember. It can't be far off a year since we last won an away game in the league, so if we could start now that would be just grand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRFC2711 Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I've enjoyed hospitality at least twice every season over the past ten years and enjoyed it ....I've also booked it for the east fife game on Nov the 4th....bemused at the critisism.....

Big Berk Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 I was in their hospitality a few years ago when they had the preseason tournament with Southend Dundee and ourselves (obviously they look up to teams in dark blue). I was impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if it made that much they wouldn't have stopped. In a nutshell it was over priced for what it was......and what it was, was poor to average. People need to come away from these things and be telling others "what a great day that was" most of the comments I heard were along the lines of "well, it was ok!" I think ours could have been better run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Quote I always prefered playing you guys at the old Bayview Park, there was always a good atmosphere in the ground. I remember my first visit with the Rovers must have been the late 60's or 1970. It was a Scottish cup tie we were in the old first division and East Fife were a second division side at that time. You ripped us a new one that day 3-0 if I remember correctly, the Waddle brothers ripped us to shreds and if I remember correctly did you have a Dewar playing for you as well. I think we got relegated at the end of that season. I was also at the game when you beat us 5-1 we had one or two sent off and some carried off due to inept refereeing and robust tackles. Well that's the way I saw it but it was agood old ground with a lot of history attatched to it unlike the concrete and plastic seat crap that is today's stadiums.

George Dewar, Andy Waddell, Bobby Waddell and Peter McQuade played in the Scottish Cup tie you mention. All four will be in attendance on Saturday with George being guest of honour in the Boardroom, having celebrated his 80th birthday during the summer...

east fife for life Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 New Bayview is soulless. Zero atmosphere and baltic in the Winter! Maybe one day we will have a nice covered terracing. Oh how I miss old Bayview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steakngravy Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Angusfifer I will be there on Saturday will the ex-players be introduced to the crowd at half-time? Another of your players I remember from possibly 1970/71 or 72 was a foeward of yours that we used to meet most Friday nights in the Raith Ballroom his name might have been Ballie. I know you had a Ballie played for you in the 70's that was an ex-classmate of mine from Viewforth but this was not the same person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Jimmy Kinsella, Alec Ray and Alan Guild (or was he away to Bury by then? And Dave Gorman the keeper from around that time. PS, I agree the old Bayview was a great spectators ground.
