Friendly

Do we really have to start a new topic on everything that happens at stark's?

Can't see them bringing too 'big' a team, due to their qualification matches for Champions League etc. Would be good though if they did. Good crowd and a few bob in the coffers wouldn't go amiss.

At least the away end will be full with folk from kirkcaldy.

Yes

Hopefully this will bring in money to be used for maybe an extra signing

ned fest of the highest order coming up then

Sad but true. As is the case all over Scotland. Personally, i think Rangers will struggle to cope with the pace of Andy Tod up front providing he feels up for the game.

SP will be full with every closet blue nose between kdy and St.Andrews.... on the pitch i can only add to the teams fitness and in that respect fits nicely into McG idea of pre-season training. Off the pitch it should add substantially to Rovers coffers, considering the hun will supposedly bring their first team squad....

Also will be good practice for the boys playing against a diddy team who just back defending and try hitting them on the break like the majority of second division teams

Very true!

Don't forget they have a testimonial match at Somerset Park on the Monday. They're bound to have one eye on that game, so you might get a result!

Think that applies to Fife in general.

Sad plastic hun fucks.

The question is though...

Will Steven Stocks return to San Starko for this match?

No, he`ll be saving himself for the big Fife derby so can wear his new East Fife top.

Quite chuffed with the news.

Brings in a lot of money for us (6000 in the ground maybe?) and it gives the players a wee chance to test themselves.

As has been said, it'll bring out the filth of Fife, but who cares? I know a lot of Rangers 'supporters', so when we inevitably get gubbed I'll just tell them I've been at Ibrox more times than them.

Cowden fans coming as well?

put up the gate prices!!
id imagine it will be there youth team like we got last pre season but dont advertise the fact

Good stuff. I'll actually be able to get to a home friendly this year! Glad to hear that they're going to bring their 1st team, too. Not like Celtic last year who were going to bring their under 19's so we cancelled it.

Hopefully the club will recive a good bit of money from this.
Maybe even a result aswell

Delighted with this news 6000+ fans at the San Starko will do no harm at all to the clubs coffers even if it is only £10 to get in.

Rangers have also confirmed they will be bringing their first team which is sure to attract more fans as well.

Davo will have Kenny Miller in his back pocket

Bauer, did you get your avatar up nae probs? I cannae seem to get the one with Davo and Walker as mines!

I keep on getting this:

6000! Rangers fans don't turn up for actual cup games against the wee teams. The majority of the couch potato Rangers fans in Kirkcaldy have forgotten how to get to Ibrox. Even a trip down the road is more than they can be bothered with. Buying a replica top and watching a few games in the pub is their limit.

Should work

Aye, i've got it now. Cheers neebs.

Bang on. You could smell the plastic and stale armchair fumes at our cup game with them at East (cough) End park last year. Pathetic Hun attendance and mostly Fife accents.

I thought you had stopped supporting Rovers?

Good thing we're not a wee team then, eh?

5000 minimum at this game. This will probably be our only game this season where the number of away fans outnumbers the home at Starks Park.

According to our official site Marvin Andrews is still at Raith

I saw that actually. Fucking Rangers, eh!?

1) Rubbish

2) most probably

I'l take great delight in watching Ferry tear Broadfoot to shreads

2500 attendance. Tops.

I'd say 3000 tops. No way will their be around 6000. Remember it's only a friendly.

If we get 3,500 tops it will still be a major bonus to the club coffers, and as long as the team get a good run out, that's the most important thing...

Disaster, one great performance and Lee Bryce could be lured away by the Hun.

Then who will get us 20 goals next season ?

I'm starting to see through your cheery, confident exterior.....

Ting Ting will have learnt to speak English by then and moved her mother in, so he won't be allowed.

I will be very surprised if there is any less than 4500 in the ground on matchday, you imagine Rangers fans will just about fill the North Stand which holds 3500 or there abouts, plus about 1500-2000 home fans.

I don't see why some people are coming out with things like "2500 maximum" This is the one of the two biggest clubs in Scotland we are playing not some wee diddy team like Hibs or Dundee Utd

I'm not too bothered about the crowd anyway I'm just looking forward to seeing us taking on the UEFA Cup finalists in our own back yard. Say what you like about Rangers but I for one would love to see players like Kenny Miller, Carlos Cuellar, Alan Macgregor in real life rather than just on the telly. And it's a chance for some of our players to test themselves against higher opposition.

Can't wait

Wardlaw...



...obviously

There's no chance we'll get a crowd of 5,000. Probably around 3,000 at best, but that is still a handy financial boost. Anyone who thinks Rangers will put out their first team, or even 5 or 6 of their first team, is kidding themselves though.

Can't agree with that Martin. Rangers haven't played at Stark's in years and it's only £10 and £5 to get in. I think there'll be at least 3000 Rangers fans there (mostly from Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes) and at least 1000 Rovers fans. Add to that the few hundred neutrals who might turn up and I can see us get close to 5000.

You wait and see

Quote from the Rovers chairman yesterday:

"We are particularly pleased that they will bring their First Team squad to Starks Park"

And from the Rangers site:

John McGlynn's Raith will supply a silmilar test as Walter Smith aims to integrate recent signings Kenny Miller, Kyle Lafferty and Andrius Velicka into his team"

I'm trying to be upbeat, but its hard to swallow when we are handing the begging bowl to the bigots.

The way i'm looking at it is that it if we have to earn a decent wee bit through that then i'm content. If fans are willing to get their arses to Starks to watch a team from a Glasgow and it benefits us then i am happy.

Positive response >>>>

Kris Boyd will score our goals, he'll realise he's pissing his career away with the Huns and fall in love with Starks Park (or you if you're lucky) and never leave. Then we can abuse him for being a lazy c**t.

Rovers will have to rebuild/re -seat the Railway Stand to cope with the crowd

give them a gubbin'. i HATE THE TWO FROM gLASGOW MORE THAN i HATE rOVERS

Why do you hate us anyway? It's like the English hating the Germans despite only getting to play them once every 4 or 5 years and beating them every 9 or 10. The difference in quality of club surely makes it not worth your while?

I think i've got a nibble....

See they have improved English spelling and vocabulary in Methil schools.............

Anyhow, it doesn't matter what the crowd is. It is another fixture, which, no matter what the crowd, will put some money into the Rovers' bank account. We'll just need to get them at home in the cup. Then get a draw, take them back to Castle Greyskull, and beat them there. Meanwhile picking up a crowd cheque in the region of £150,000.
