It's a sad time when supporters from same club seem to turn on each other. Seems to me the people who cant see others point on this site have a real issue. The spite and nastiness is totally uncalled for. Would hope the admins on this site would have a look at this and decide if this is appropriate behaviour for a fans site. For me it's time to leave, had hoped to be able to discuss football related topics, without a bully boy attitude .

So why would this be a problem for the club to encourage us to bring someone to watch the Rovers who wouldn't normally come. The problem with what I as a pensioner pays for a season ticket doesn't matter. I am trying to encourage someone to come and watch the Rovers and bring a small ammount of revenue in.

So a pensioner is not an adult

Think myself and quite a number of older supporters didn't pick up on this at the time. If it had been said concessions weren't to be included in any deals most of us would have known what was meant. As I have said if Rovers feel they can do without the revenue many of the older supporters provide , just let us know at the start of season and we can decide where to invest our money.

Again doesn't affect me in any way whatsoever only more loss in revenue for the Rovers. Must be rolling in money if they can throw money away.

It would have been a decision I would have had to make as to whether I would have continued supporting Rovers so more revenue lost and40 years plus support gone

If the club feel they dont want the extra £5 I would have paid to bring a friend who doesn't normally go to the Rovers that's fine with me it's there monetary loss. To discriminate against pensioners as seems to be suggested because they pay an agreed ammount for an adult season ticket appears to be very wrong on many fronts.

I am an adult season ticket holder, why would a pensioner who has supported Rovers for over 40 years be treated any different.

But it's not the person who's bought the season ticket who is benefiting. Surely if the point was to encourage more people to attend it doesn't matter as everyone who buys the 5 pound ticket gets in for a fiver.

Cant quite understand the reasoning if this is the case. Surely it shouldn't matter who is buying the 5 pound ticket

Is there any truth in the story that if your a concession season ticket holder you cant buy a ticket for a fiver, as is being advertised on our site

My first post on this subject was to do with the loss to Morton from there it has grown arms and legs with everyone coming up with there interpretation of what we should do. For me most of our issues started before the season even started, our new manager was left to build a team with possibly too little time to do it. Doesn't matter we dont have a 20 goal a season striker, the issue is we dont score enough goals, we dont hurt teams when it matters, we dont control games at key times. Again the manager brought in a number of the players we now have in the team and the do play some pretty football. But the name of the game is scoring goals, if we cant score goals we can run all day and play as much pretty football as you like but we wont win games. Can only hope the players on the pitch start to gell a bit more as a team and get the results there play often deserves.

But it seemed as if they were allowed to leave before a new manager was appointed. The Berra thing was unexpected, Mussonda, we dont know why he left but still doing a good job at this level for Ayr. Benny possibly his time had come. Knowing laing was injured I feel we created a problem of our own making. Our loan signings in defence are really good and have no real complaints, but we need to hang onto them in January. We cant rely on players who have been out long term coming straight back in and solving our problems. I think our midfield can be sorted with the right mix in the team. We all know the problems up front as do every other team, we dont score enough goals

again I understand where you are coming from on this. Problem I see is that it is the job of a manager at a football club to sort out these issues. He has signed Fredriksen who seems to be his solution, we can only hope this is the case. I still feel last years team didn't need to be dismantled just so quickly before better replacements were available. We will never know why so many centre backs were allowed to leave the club and the Berra situation did not help. Hopefully we can hang onto our defensive loan players or we are pinning our Hope's on Laing hitting the ground running and staying injury free. It's no easy job a manager has but it's his to solve.

As I said just my opinion, but we desperately needed the goal scoring issue sorted, it hasnt as yet been done. Defence wise we are relying on loans to plug gaps, we will possibly never know why so many central defenders were allowed to leave the club at the same time with no ready replacements in place. We do have a midfield who play the ball around well enough, but teams have no fear of our midfield, they seem to run out of steam after a period of the match. Could be Murray needs to look at his substitutions and when they have to be made. Stanton has been playing really well of late but the rest seem to be in fits and starts. Teams know they can get at us if they can hold out from our initial assualt.

I can see where your coming from, the problem I have is there are huge gaps in our team at present that need addressed, and as yet haven't really been. We still need to hope we can keep our defence as it is beyond January. And know one can tell me we have a better goalscoring forward line than we did at anytime last year

As has been said our biggest issue seems to be scoring goals, as a team we look no worse than any of the rest. Problems will always come from any team who cant score, all the moans about getting beat by a dubious penalty shouldn't matter if we were capable of putting the ball in the opposition's net ourselves. I am more than a little concerned that at present we have not improved our team over last season. It may be we are still in a rebuilding phase at present, but we need to be really careful as we are starting to move in the wrong direction in this league. A couple of wins could be enough to paper over the cracks which are very evident in this team, so hopefully we get them soon.

And it seems we have improved it by making wholesale changes with no suitable replacements. Past two seasons we managed to finish top 5 in both cases. We didn't need to be making the changes we did at least not until we had better in to replace them . Every player has a time when it's time to go, this for me wasnt the time to have a mass exodus of players

Never mind Musonda we potentially allowed 4 CBs to leave the club with little attempt to hold onto any. Our defence last season wasnt that bad, our problems mainly lay with scoring goals. We now have a team who are totally in transition, not the best way to be at the start of a season.

Feel that so far todays performance has shown us nothing new. Pretty obvious the style of football we hope to play, but without the obvious additions in defence which are glaringly obvious, we need a better threat up front. Can only hope, keep the fingers crossed, hope for the best that we can find something before the Cove game. The style of football we played is the same as against Stirling, Dumbarton and Peterhead. Against Peterhead we did well but they were struggling to put a team out. I feel against Aberdeen we looked very average and team wise we need to sort it out.

Dont usually post much but been reading most of the posts with interest. I must say I was a supporter of the style of football John Mcglynns teams played. I think some of the problems came with players who maybe weren't able always to play his style. We had two pretty successful seasons in the championship with him, and at times the football was absolutely stunning to watch. Needless to say we didn't always play well and the results didn't always show what we would want as supporters. Whether we agree or not we now have a new manager who I am now 100% behind, it does worry me we have allowed a fairly settled defence go with no replacements at present in sight. I would like to see us signing a free scoring centre forward, but that is probably the golden ticket for every club in Britain not just Raith Rovers. The manager will choose and build his team as he sees fit, when the team goes on the park I will support them. One thing I do expect is a decent form of entertainment when I turn up at Starks Park. If results dont go our way that's fine, I will in my mind be looking for top 4 finish. It cant be expected it will happen but a Rovers team should be at least competing at top end of table. Hopefully the manager will be a great success with our club and will provide us with some great entertainment on the park, that's all I ask

Funnily enough was wondering the same. Yesterday I checked my confirmation e mail and noticed it had an e ticket which mentioned it was to be used for entry. Would suppose the bar code would be the same as you will get on card

Was at the game last night and thought it was a brilliant atmosphere and great advert for championship football. As a team we have our faults, it's been a difficult season but as has been said before, if we had just started the season we would all have accepted our position in the league and winning a cup. John Mcglynn has got us to a place where we expect the the team to be winning matches again. This is a far better position we are in now to where we have been before he arrived. I'm sure John Mcglynn will know he has made mistakes at times, but footballs about making less mistakes than your opponent. Hopefully all on here can start looking forward to a new season next and on to more exciting games like last nights.

Been finding quality of streaming service very poor so far

Anyone having issues with the streaming service provided by clubs. So far the Inverness stream was poor and they refunded cost which was good of them, Alloa last week was shocking and got no match at all. I e mailed them twice, so far no response, is this how the streaming service is to be all season.
