I’m the one who thinks we should stay, I need convinced. Here I’ll help you. Raith Rovers should move their stadium away from Pratt Street Kirkcaldy to the bypass because……………. I'm sorry that my opinion that moving up to the north of the town when we had the opportunity was a good idea has caused you such consternation and anxiety. Can you quote where I said I want us to move? Edited November 26, 2021 by Raith_Raver 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t think Glenrothes is the “untapped potential” that’s it’s currently regarded. This 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you quote where I said I want us to move? Obsessive get a grip, it’s a discussion of Raith Rovers. Sorry your move was “past tense”. Moving to the outskirts of Kirkcaldy does nothing for the club, there’s no untapped fan base in Glenrothes that’ll suddenly be supporting us, building a new stadium is a good idea but it needs to be built in an area that’s relatively close to the Centre. Teams that moved away from their traditional homes did so because they sold the land for £s and for no other reason.

The fact is, we'll never know, neither you nor I. It's well past being too late to care; I have my thoughts on the matter and you have yours, you should accepted that at the beginning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovers_Lad Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) How do you know moving to the outskirts of kirkcaldy would do nothing for the club?Thats guess work Kirkcaldy aint big and from say Starks Park to the outskirts its probable a mile and a half,two miles,hardly an inconvience and quite possibly more convienent for others Followed the Rovers since the 60,s and yes see Starks Park as home but thats sentimental tosh.Sadly Starks has seen its days Nothing can be done with the Main Stand and enclosure,,behind the dug and Railway Stand are virtually derelict Edited November 26, 2021 by Rovers_Lad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 With all the success the club have had re-issuing classic kits, the next step should be to petition Copa for a modern take on the Diadora shellsuits that everyone on the bench had that day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Still laugh at the fact that we were sponsored by Jackie O. Seemed fitting given some of the characters in that team. Even funnier when you think Kelly’s Copiers ditched us as sponsors when we were relegated from the Premier the previous season and missed out on the wall-to-wall coverage that came along with our win. No luck. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
