John McGlynn won’t take any unnecessary risks with him. He held him back from returning this/last season in line with the medical recommendations despite Vaughan himself feeling ready much earlier. He was also left out for our game at Airdrie (the game in between his two starts) due to a hamstring niggle he felt he could play through because McGlynn didn’t want to take any risks with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paco Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 It's an entirely valid concern, and being able to plan for the worst case scenario would be the best insurance but equally I dont think it's feasible to be able to budget for an entire season with no crowds and I dont think we can plan for no season at all either, which is the other extreme. We have to start sometime, under some conditions...Yeah lots of options and none of them good. I presume the Championship is looking at an October start based on an assumption that they’ll just about manage three months of no crowds, but starting in August would be a stretch. In that case there’s going to be need to be some sort of break option, where if we hit January, still playing with no sign of crowds coming back, the season ends as per some pre-determined agreement. Otherwise you’re just going to have clubs signing their own death warrant. I’m sure a lot of mug punters (eg me) would happily buy a season ticket at normal prices and if I ended up watching the lot on Raith TV then so be it. But I’m uncomfortable with the idea of relying on fans generosity as a medium-term business model, and behind closed doors is exactly that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye as soon as season tickets go on sale, I’ll be buying one regardless of whether I’ll only get to half the games or not. Even if they don’t sell full season tickets which they probably won’t, let’s hope they keep the donate a ticket fund and everyone chips in their ticket money for the week anyway. Doubt it’ll work as smoothly as that though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantene proV Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 (edited) Best home for me is the 4-1 win over reigning Scottish Cup holders Motherwell in the League Cup 1991. The Martin Nelson game its otherwise known as. Best away must be another cup game - the St Johnstone cup quarter of '94. A complete performance from a great team. I did fair enjoy the 5-0 cuffing of East Fife couple of seasons ago also. Edited May 31, 2020 by pantene proV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 That's the first time I've seen the bbc footage of the cup final, I went to the game but was otherwise living away at the time. New highlight for me is a steward selotaping up the window to the studio box at half time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 McCoist before the game saying it was “unthinkable” if Celtic were to lose. Way before the famous line from Jock Brown on the last penalty, which in hindsight is just mental. Both McCoist and Brewster before the game actually were pretty spot on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Over 400 strips sold already. Rough estimate would suggest that’s about £18,000 generated. The fans have really stepped up of late. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was sat in the railway stand and wanted to go home at half time. Would've been perhaps my third or fourth ever game.

pub car king Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Didn't Shaun Dennis and Peter Duffied have a bit of a row in the tunnel at half time during that Motherwell game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jilted John Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Going with prices of plain football shirts from their website, I’ll guess that we’d make about £20 from an adults top. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raith1974 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Gary McKenzie released by St Mirren. Experienced big centre half. Coming to end of his career but may be able to cope in the Championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
