  1. There are still a few seats left on The Weavers bus from Katherine Street for our cup game. Costs £12 adults,£8 kids. Contact Stevie Gray if interested 07528 040392. Bus leaves at 6.45 pm prompt so be there for 6.30ish.
  2. The turnstile queue at the end was very slow. When my turn came my ticket would not scan so I think it was a common problem. I've never had this problem before home or away. I was let in as were others. I think this explains some of the missing numbers.
  3. Re School Visits by RR & CF Currently RR & the CF are engaged in a series of school visits to promote s/ts, summer football camps etc. As part of that process, I procured 1000 RR pens as giveaways to the kids. I have checked on school rolls & staff nos. and 1000 is small beer. There are over 30 local primaries & to visit them all would take till after the holidays but well worth doing as we have had a great reception. Much better than lessons. It occurred to me that some people might like to sponsor some pens for their old or neighbouring primaries. It would cost £26 per 100 pens. I would advise the school & club so donors would receive some plaudits. If anyone is interested please let me know by PM. This is for Kdy ,Glenrothes & District. I've had another 700 pledged so far & most schools like the idea. Yes. we have visited Sinclairtown & I will return next week with some pens.
  4. We all enjoyed hospitality at Firhill recently. The game not so much.

    I'm happy to "sign" you & your friend into the 200 Club if anyone requires it. It's small but we may not be too busy tonight.

  5. I just wish we would start playing with two up front & a higher press. Other teams can come at us without any pressure & generally outscore us.
  6. I mostly agree with Scottydog . Every s/t holder could invite a friend & we would still have plenty of empty seats which earns zero income . Some posters appear to struggle with this idea (& much else.) Kids U12 only pay £5 on match days anyway so I would like to see youngsters under 21 have a special friend offer of say £2. We appear to have lost a lot of our young support this season & should do all we can to encourage them back as well as those lost due to DG.
  7. Our attendances are poor, any attempt to improve them is praiseworthy but they should not exclude the bulk of s/t holders. I phoned to complain & was able to buy extra ticket for £5 so will have an ice hockey fan as my guest on Saturday. I was also advised that the club will now reassess this scheme in future so hopefully it will be much better.
  8. Agreed if you read this carefully, you would see that it only applied to a limited group of s/t holders. If you just glanced at it , you would assume that it applied to all adults. It is after all a marketing ploy to increase attendances so why would anyone choose to limit the possible increase in attendance & income to the club ? As usual we will have plenty of empty seats on Saturday. Many of us old gits have carried out the necessary but unglamourous work of cleaning seats, painting etc. How is it a perk to invite new people to give Rovers a try? Could I suggest that anyone annoyed by this short-sighted decision ring or email Pratt Street tomorrow to suggest that this scheme would be better by including us all and let kids invite a pal to come for a £1. Sales initiatives from Rovers are rarer than hens' teeth so please stay ultra polite.
  9. They have given Hearts a couple of tough cup ties. We should win if we have some strikers but not an easy game.
  10. I think that the time for petted lips should be over. We should have signed Kyle Lafferty but let the wrong one in. He has to be paid off in whatever fashion can be agreed. Meanwhile, Rovers are struggling, donations from individuals & groups are down by about £50K so Ian Murray has little chance of acquiring any decent targets. It's an individual choice but I would encourage everyone to consider making contributions again. Just about anything is better than going down to League 1 again.
  11. I hope Ian Murray has worked out that we need to play with more than one striker. Gullan needs someone to link up with & run onto his flicks.
  12. Apparently, season tickets are being issued by volunteers in batches. Everyone should have theirs by midweek.
  13. Friendlies should be free to all. It can only encourage more people to give us a go.
  14. Looks like 3 forwards. I wish we would try that at home. The last few months have been beyond awful.
  15. I can only hope that the above posters are wrong about the delay in this signing . Rovers must remember to compensate the victim in any settlement to him. The club will need to carry out many remedial acts to rectify their recent actions before they can expect forgiveness from their fans or the wider public. I appreciate that he has to leave the club for this process to begin. I don't believe that we should donate to the club unless it gives us more influence or a deciding stake in some decisions eg season ticket prices especially for kids.
