Ahhh wind your neck back in!!!

Where your argument fails is that;

Both sets of supporters are being charged the same price - £22!!!

Both sets of supporters are able to obtain vouchers at the Stranraer game!!!

So basicaly you're fucked unless we see you all next week at the Stranraer game!!!

At last, someone talking sense.

What a lot of pish about a boycott, whose going to organise it?, all you keyboard warriors?, it's all pie in the sky talked about in your school playgrounds, pay the money and support your team ya numpties.

Everyone is entitled to their choices and opinions. Because you disagree doesn't make them 'numpties'. And FYI, it IS being organised.......................

Let's be honest about this, £14 to watch second division football ain't exactly value for money either.

Anyone who pays £22 to watch Second Division football deserves to be pointed at and laughed at.

Seriously, £22? f**k off. I don't have "MUG" wriitten on my forehead.

I agree.

£22 is taking things a bit far though.

Your the numpty mate.£22 your having a laugh,you`ll only be lining the pocket of WG

We shall see, but the most important thing is supporting your team and that can only be done from inside the ground, if I can get past the masses of demonstrators I will be supporting my team.

Steven should be delighted. Man Utd charge much more than £22 entry.

WildRover, you'll only be lining the pockets of Gray. You'll be one of a sub 20 minority, anyway.

No, I will be supporting my team, what will you be doing?

Its actually going to work out cheaper for East Fife fans, and will ensre that we can all see the game (even us exiles), so i'm happy enough with it now that i've heard a bit more about it.

As for the Raith fans, I suppose its just a case of nae luck. I think our trust should organise the handing out of tissues and dummys to the folk hanging about outside

I'm with Wild Rover on this one.

No one - not Gray, not my fellow Rovers "fans" - are going to stop me going to support my fucking team.

If you want to boycott, then that's your choice. If others don't want to do that then respect that.

And if you don't think Gray will move on a bunch of you in the car park or mound then you're living in cloud cuckoo land. East Fife own all the land around the ground, will have extra police and stewards on patrol I'm sure and the police would move on any large gathering on illegal formation grounds.

Get a grip.

That would be an amazing idea, couldn't see that happening.

God save the queen ya fucking hun w****r.

Surely the club would have to pay East Fife a whack of money to do this so they get money anyway and no Rovers fans at the game cheering the guys on.

Hardly amazing!

Andy, Andy, Andy before starting a thread like this, you should have all the facts and then remember to have a look at the bigger picture!!!

This is a tremendous deal and one that the Club should be commended for, namely pay £22 and see two, yes that's right two East Fife games!!!

For paying this price enables you to see

East Fife v Stranraer on 04/10/08

and

East Fife v Raith Rovers on 08/11/08

That's a saving of £4, surely all those commenting on the supposed attacks against the working class should be rejoicing that a Football Club is trying it's best to cut prices for the supporters!!!

This offer is open to everybody, yes even you Andy (and if you had turned up yesterday like you promised you would have recieved your pre-offer voucher), the only illegality would then be to open normal price ticket gates at the game, as that would be unfair to all the East Fife support who have had to fork out the larger amount, surely with the socialist, all working men together ethos that is pervading this thread that would and should not be allowed!!!

So in fairness sake stop thinking about yourselves and fork out the dosh or get your arses along to the Stranraer game!!!

You really have nothing to moan about!!!

What pisses me off is the fact that Jabba the hut find's this acceptable, fleecing Raith fans £22. To go to that fucking shitehole, it's not my problem they only have a one sided bit of shite, you do the math brainbox.

You sir are an idiot

Take note of your last sentence bud, and put it into practise. NO ONE HAS SAID THEY WILL STOP YOU GOING IN IF YOU SO WISH! Its a protest against a Celtic supporting gangsters bitch not a fucking picket line! No one is going to shout 'scab' at you or anything...........

Your choice, go in, pay your money. Others choice, noisy boycott. What is the problem?

Why is that then, (nice to see you know yoour place tho!!!)

Is it because I'm telling the truth, and it doesn't fit into the pathalogical Anti-Gray mind-set of your average Wraith halfwit???

Tell me how this is not a good thing for football fans again!!!

Sorry King Kebab, I usually enjoy reading your posts but I've lost all respect for you after that. What a load of complete and utter pish, and I'm sure you know it deep down as well.

Raith Rovers fans have zero interest in East Fife v Stranraer. We are playing at Arbroath that day - I know full well where I'll be. Even if a Raith fan was to go to the Stranraer match, this would only secure home end tickets. The fan in question would be liable to ejection on the day. No matter what way you dress it up, it's £22 for Raith Rovers fans to see their side play a Second Division match. Other teams supporters pay £13.

Put yourself in our situation. Would you pay? Would you find it fair? Would you think it was the actions of a jealous, bitter and desperate former chairman?

Regular East Fife fans like yourself make a saving, overall. The rest are robbed. Some of your support see it for the daylight robbery as it is, the rest shove their heads in the sand as usual and talk about bitter Lino's who can't afford it.

Sorry KK, but I don't think I've ever seen such a stupid point on a forum. Get a grip.

KK, it's a good thing for you c***s but it's hardly a godsend for us. Surely even you can see that, you're not that fucking stupid. Jesus f**k, he's trying to fleece Rovers fans for £22 and we're not gonna let it happen. Stop being such a one-dimensional arsehole!!

To King Kebab. I'm certainly not working class or a socialist, how does this deal benefit me?

To Crazy_Horse. People have been talking about protesting at the turnstiles and "encouraging" people not to pay to go in. Are you trying to tell me that some of our hotheaded idiots, particularly those under the influence, are not going to get abusive to those paying to go in?

If we don't watch this will lead to a split in our support. Just what Gray would like to see.

East Fife don't need the £22 from the Raith fans, if you don't want to pay it then don't.

Why say "If you want to boycott, then that's your choice" and then a little while later tell people that will choose to boycott to "Get a grip"?
I have a very good grip of the reality of the situation. Willie Gray is fleecing Raith fans and the only way to avoid said fleecing is to refuse to pay into the ground.

I respect your thoughts about supporting your team no matter what but the two times we are at New Bayview this season the team will have to do without my support. It is a matter of principle, nothing else.

Raith set there prices before the start of the season regardless of the Fife derby, so i don't understand why that fat f**k can justify such a hike. Highway robbery if you ask me. If that's the case we'll charge East Fife say £30 just to have the privilege of entering a real stadium, call it tit for tat.

What would your reaction be if we did charge £30 or £22 for the derby, you simply would not be happy.

I think the major point of a 'Boycott New Bayview' thread is indeed that reason.

There would be a small travelling support and you would lose much needed income. I think you'd rather have the 1000 East Fife fans paying normal price.

No I wouldn't, but if you were offering say two games for that price I may consider it!!!

As for highway robbery at Starks Park, why is there a Parent and Child gate at the Home Stand but not at the Away end???

Fair do's, I can see where you are coming from with that. Still don't think the 'encouragement' will be anything to worry about. It's your choice to go in, and I can't see why anyone wouldn't respect your wishes.
Also, with your last comment there, maybe that is what this is all about, and the whole thing is just a 'fabrication'.

Hang on there, you were the ones bringing up the fairness of football fans, but in reality you appear to just be concerned for yourself!!!

Truth coming out!!!



A serious debate and you refer to the East Fife support en masse as "you c***s", and you call me a one-dimensional arsehole!!!



It gets you in touch with the common man massa, rather than your usual touching up of commen men!!!

Of course we would. But imagine for a second that Derrick Brown ran Raith Rovers. He increased our gate prices by £10, solely for the visit of East Fife. Would you attend?



That's an issue many Raith fans have conceded is very, very poor and have done so on many occassions. I'd like to see it rectified, and many Raith fans have said as much in the past too. However, there's nothing we as fans can really do. At least it applies to every set of fans, not just one team.

Why is the East Fife board increasing gate prices by £10 solely for the visit of Raith Rovers?

Dodging any point I made, I see. I never mentioned the 'fairness of football fans' at any stage.

Is this what it's all about, i have no control over that. Suppose i'd be a bit miffed too.

£22 be serious man, he's a greedy f**k.

Because football fans generally support a team KK. There is absolutely no reason for a Raith fan to go and watch EF v Stranraer. They are obviously going to want to go and watch EF v Raith Rovers. Therefore the offer is not for football fans but for East Fife fans. Or are Stranraer fans getting the voucher too in the hope that they will attend on the 8th November. Surely you can see how bizarre your logic is

Precisely what I was trying to say (or did say), thank you!

When I first realised this was true, I at least thought the decent bunch of East Fife fans would acknowledge what their board (it's not just Wullie Gray) is doing is wrong. So far, the only person that's admitted this is a poster called 'St Pauli Fifer' over on your forum. Well done to him, the rest of you have your heads in the sand.. and not for the first time.

Making up any you want I see, re-read the post you'll see I was talking about Wraith supporters in general, not you specifically!!!

How do you know that the voucher is just for the home end, if you were to come to the Stranraer game you would recieve one that would guarantee a ticket for the away end if you ask at the office, did you find that point out or did you just make up some facts to suit yourself???

If you want to argue semantics, Football supporters support a team, by it's very definition Football fans are fans of football, hence why I used that terminology!!!

And yes Stranraer fans will get the voucher as well!!!

But surely you must agree that there is no benefit or interest for them.

You, it would seem, are arguing for arguing sake.

Damn...

...rumbled!!!

I guess he know's what happens if East Fife fans were to say they were unhappy with things.....

All right, I'll accept that and take that as fact. That justifies charging £22. Thank you East Fife, I'll only end up paying about £10 more than I would usually, and I get to see a match between two shite teams into the bargain. And I haven't even started on East Fife v Stranraer! Love you. xxx

Why would I go to watch East Fife v Stranraer instead of Arbroath v Raith Rovers? Why would I have an interest in East Fife v Stranraer? Why would I opt to give East Fife £13 of my own money, in order to pay £12 for a ticket that'll cost £22?

And I'll ask again - put yourself in our situation. Would you pay the £22? Would you come to another one of our home games and miss an East Fife match?

I'm in disbelief that you're actually defending this.

I really don't see the logic in this so find it difficult to comment either way. That said, i think its been done to favour the EF fans, giving them every opportunity to see the game in a stadium thats incapable of accommodating "bigger" games.
I`d like to think its not a direct pop at Raith Rovers or their fans.

Whatever Stevo!!!

Because the love you have for your club would pull you round to the fact that this is the only way you can get yourself a goldust ticket to see them play against their local rivals, in one of the most bitterly anticipated games of the season!!!

I've already said elsewhere that I would!!!

And I'm not really defending it, I'm more knocking out the inaccuracies of the posts of others!!!

Is that where you've been designing a new siggy!!!

It's quite good, but can you make the circle a bit bigger!!!

Don't know what your concerned about Steven. Life for you seems to be one big protest anyway. I`m surprised you never started your own wee thread.
As the Ruskie said..... £22 is still cheaper than Old Trafford.

I said before this came about I'd certainly go to New Bayview, but there's no chance I;m paying £22 to get in. It's a price rise of £9 for f**k sake, how can you justify that?

I'd love to see the game, but I'm not paying that price. No way whatsoever. And my support is needed next week to up at Arbroath after a diabolical performance yesterday. Why should I attend New Bayview to watch East Fife v Stranraer? Even if I wanted to go to the match in Methil, I'd still go to Arbroath.

East Fife are making fools of themselves.
