We actually lost money hosting games last year.

We lost money because the club allowed season ticket holders to get on free. Now people moan like f**k because the cup games are not on the season book this year. FFS. Folk can't stop moaning.

Every chance we,ll make a loss on this fixture even with it being PATG

Personally colt clubs shouldn,t get a share of any gate ;)

Milne clearly is a talent, he tended to vanish for weeks on end when with us though. Looks like he might have found some consistency last season playing off the front.

Hope he does well.

The elusive ghost midfielder! Rovers desperately need one of these. We’re not right without one.

Without trying to sound negative, is another goal scorer what we need? Last season we lacked players who created chances for the strikers and I feel that’s what we’re still lacking. Someone who can unlock a defence with the right pass.

Milne seems like a handy player to have but feel someone who creates those chances is more of a priority.

Aberdeen Colts at Home in the joke cup, I’m thinking this could be lowest attendance SP has seen in many moons. I was at the Ross County game last year purely because it was included in the ST, I 100% won’t be patg to see some Colt team.
Obviously it would be excellent to be drawn away to either a Welsh or Irish team for the Away day(s) and piss up, but it’s a total farce they’re also included in a national competition.
As for when we won it, at least it was all 1st-3rd division teams, and we won it in the best way possible with the whole of Scotland wanting us to win it that day.

Anyway, less of the negativity, Milne confirmed - seems a good signing. What are we thinking, a winger, a striker and full back? Or is Brian away? And it’ll be Goalie?

Anyway know when the Away strip is getting launched?

Well Smith said 4 + a keeper in the press last week, so Milne in leaves 3 to go. A winger, striker and full back? Almost certain we'll play games with either Matthews or Vaughan out wide so will probably go with one specialist winger just now.

If the Challenge Cup was a video game then beating Rangers in the final means we’ve completed it.

I must admit, I’ve always had a soft spot for it, but it’s very much a loss making exercise, which is far from ideal.

That said, I look forward to Lewis Milne scoring the winner in this season’s final.

Nothing much been happening with the pitch for weeks. Will it definitely be finished for Christmas?


We’ve decided to play on tarmac this season as a tribute to the young fans who used to hone their football and kerby skills on the streets of Kirkcaldy.

We will also be installing kerbs, and will shortly announce plans to host an International Kerby Tournament with teams from as far afield as Methil, Greenock, Bellshill and Outer Mongolia taking part for the greatest prize in World Kerby, the Golden Kerb.

To get the tournament going, there will be a debate in the centre circle between two eminent professors from the University of Edinburgh philosophy department on the merits of the game and whether it is Kerby or Curby.

For added ‘reality’ at random times throughout the matches a speeding car will move along the pitch to disrupt play.

I am sure all true Rovers and Kerby fans will get behind this visionary idea.

In other news, Iain Davidson (Davo) has gone on a journey up The Ganges.

Iain turned to Hinduism to get over the disappointment of last season. He hopes this will recharge his batteries and give him the inner strength to captain us to the League 1 title.

I am sure we all wish Iain good luck for his trip and for next season.

It does look that way on the pitch cam, but the resin was being laid/installed/poured last week on top of the type 1
