Always next quarter Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Pretty slick piece of club communication, picked up the new folk spoke with fans groups and Raith TV before media. I like that approach. Hadn't actually thought about the pitfalls of smashing our way into promotion race with no infrastructure. Glad they seem to know more than me. Healthy budget and more folk with football knowledge sounded positive. I like having something to feel positive about so will be deleting this if it goes tits up. Thoughts and prayers for Allan Crowe, he's going to be housebound for weeks serialising this one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Exciting times ahead methinks, and the plans for the stand has to be an attraction for potential players being swayed to come to us, and I have to admit their enthusiasm and commitment is infectious 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It’s the most passion I’ve seen in years involving anyone running the club , Very sensible modern approach IMO and the fans now have to get behind the club with the under 12 free entry a fantastic idea , The sports bar something I’ve banged on about for years because the Novar would get my money pre match . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grumswall Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) It's definitely exciting times and the interview paints a good picture. It would be good to hear from some of the other new faces, something davie touched on in the interview. For all his faults sim is a rovers fan and you can see his excitement coming through there. The approach seems to be to build from the ground up and I'm on board with that. Andy and ruirah (probably spelled wrong apologies) spoke very well and you can see the enthusiasm from them. Talk of a team to supplement the first team, be that a reserve squad or a you team, and also the acknowledgement of needing a pathway for young players to the first team is very encouraging. It will at least allow us to have more than 1 sub available when it comes in to place. Potter is regarded as a good coach, so I'm hoping he can identify the key areas in the development process. Murray is set to have a competitive budget, doesn't say much really, but hopefully means he can build his own squad and get the right players in. Exciting times and there's alot to digest today. Eta: another great job by Davie and all at raith TV with this interview. Edited May 5, 2023 by grumswall 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Solid interview…I’ll post some notes shortly, but pretty excited overall. Hope those sullen youth on the way to Morrison’s can spend enough to get us a striker! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raith1974 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Very good interview, Andy Barrowman and Ruaridh Kilgour spoke very well and positively. Nice to see younger people coming in. Fresh ideas and great to hear that our playing budget will be improved along with the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Really excited by this. Not sure what level of investment the guys are putting in but I would far rather have these guys coming in with zero investment but all of these ideas and expertise to try and make us a sustainable club with a solid foundation than, for example, a lottery winner coming in and handing over £2m. We’ve had a lot of false dawns at this club but it feels like this could be the start of something very exciting and that the club should be in a better place in the medium term than it is now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let folk watch it first, I'm a lazy basa and wouldn't have bothered if there was a run down. Glad I did, I also took the sense thats there's a bit of steel and determination which may have been lacking despite lots of hard work off the field. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am like this when it comes to the pre and post match interviews, however every rovers fan should watch/listen to this interview. Big changes are coming and it’s not like this happens every week so it is a must watch in my eyes! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same, 25 mins in and heading for a pre match pint. Sim gets the respect he's due, strong base to the consortium and the club controlling the story with an excellent interview. I like what I hear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma Power Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Tiny, tiny point in the grand scheme of things, but nice to see the old club crest back on everyone's lapels in the PR photos today (although to be fair the ties have the current badge on them). Wonder if we're going to be using the old crest more again from now on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
