pantene proV Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Rather have Brody Paterson than Macdonald back. He'll be off to a P/T team anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Fernández Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Rather have Brody Paterson than Macdonald back. He'll be off to a P/T team anyway.Brody Paterson would be an excellent signing for you. Think Murray will definitely want to sign him, as Airdrie are lacking a left back would 100% take MacDonald back [emoji106] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I really don't understand the clamour for signing Paterson and I'm hoping Murray is just using him as a stop gap for these friendlies while Dick covers centre back. We need a couple of centre backs, not a left back, and it would be madness for Murray to waste more of our budget on a position we are already covered for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present the left back position is a weakness. I'd hope that we are looking at Paterson and that Dick would eventually be back up when Lang returns to full fitness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 We need a lb but the obvious priorities are elsewhere. I took what Murray said in his interview possitvely. Looking outside of the usual pool of players and talked about how clubs in England who will loan players are just back training.

He's let 2 serviceable centre backs go without much of a fight to keep; we ain't bringing 2 in. 1 on loan maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottydog Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 On a different note I see our average attendance last season was our lowest in the last 12 years. Several mitigating factors like derby games being played outwith Saturdays and games being covered on BBC Alba. Add in the DG fallout too I suppose. https://www.transfermarkt.com/raith-rovers-fc/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/2795 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) Also 2 x home games played at 500 capacity, one of them being a derby. Edited June 28, 2022 by CALDERON 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Of course, we’re second or third in ST sales this season, so far…one of only three clubs over 1,000. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to equal the season before, we’d need 33,102 over 18 matches. Since we had 27,658, we were short by 5,444 attendees, which would mean we would have had to have 2,722 plus the 500 at those two matches. So 3,222 average attendance at those two matches, I doubt we’d have made it all up, but we’d likely have been reasonably close. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGuigan1978 Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 If it’s based on the total from last seasons fixture list on the same website then it’ll be wrong, as two of the games don’t have any attendances filled in at all. Won’t add that much on right enough, but would mean it isn’t quite that bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t add that much on right enough, but would mean it isn’t quite that bad. Your assumption is correct. Using the attendance figures given on the Raith website our average attendance last season was 1695. In the 16 games where capacity wasn’t restricted to 500, the average was just short of 1850. If both Pars games had been on a Saturday with no crowd restrictions I think we’d have got around 4K for each. And the Arbroath game would have got 1600+ instead of 500. Those three games would have added about 6k to the gate between them so average over the season would be around the 2k mark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride of Fife Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 You need to also factor in the people who might have been in attendance that instead paid to watch game/s online. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
