The New Raith Rovers Thread


Recommended Posts

It was a good effort against a standard of opposition that are simply miles ahead of us. 

But it's tainted with the very, very bitter knowledge that the money from the game will be given straight to Goodwillie. That money couldve done the club a hell of a lot of good, but instead it's being spraffed straight up the wall in the course of undoing an utterly dismal decision made by the club. 

Frustrating doesn't even come close

I am actually surprised nobody picked up on the shirt sponsor today. Sorry utter tragic and won't set foot back in starks Park until the lot of them are gone.
 

Called foreverarover and now won’t set foot in Starks park until we are playing without a sponsor on our shirt 🙄

I would guess between 25,000 and 30,000.

A lot more tickets than that would’ve been bought, just some folk cba turning up. Think its done automatically if your on the Home Cup Ticket Scheme and people will just buy them even if they aren’t going so they have a chance of tickets for the games at Hampden

I was saying just the same after the match. You can sit there and pretend we had drawn Motherwell away and lost and we would have been no worse off, but we didn't and like you say, it's a colossal amount of money down the drain.

No the owner tweeted saying he had asked the club to remove his company from the strips immediately. 
 

Maybe Val is the end of the season? Not sure 

Yeah I thought he had changed his stance after we announced we wouldn't be picking Goodwillie, but I could be mistaken.

They did. 
 

“Tag Games no longer wants its name removed from the club's away shirts, but stand by the decision not to extend sponsorship beyond this season "under the current set-up".

Ms McDermid said at some point in the first week of this shambles that she wasn't able to have her name removed from the strips for the rest of this season because of contractual obligations but it would not be there next season onwards. Things may change in the future but I highly doubt it.

They both cancelled their sponsorship, you cant take your ball back and still want to play in the game, they both could've left things as they were till end of season and had all todays televised advertising 

 

Sure that’ll be the reason, the board probably also saw it as a way of bringing in some extra cash as legally TAG had told us they were out.

I thought that was the Stand?

So one of the directors who voted in favour of signing Goodwillie now has his company name on our away shirt? 😅

Didn’t realise that’s what the sponsor was, probably more the BOD putting two fingers up to TAG by not giving them this exposure then?
