Savage Henry Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I thought about that too. If it's true then hopefully the main sponsor have consented or a third party has paid for it as I doubt Maggies themselves would be asked to pay. I assume Maggies is a charity, in which case, as with Aston Villa or dare I say it Barcelona, it actually does benefit the club in terms of tax rebates or somesuch malarkey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh? In what way? I can't speak about the Spanish tax system but I know of no tax benefits to a British club from having a charity on their shirts. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Maybe the club are trying to strengthen ties to the community? It might just be going on the back of the shirt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raith Against The Machine Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Presumably they're hoping that more people buy the shirt than they would a normal away shirt, making up for the money lost on the sponsor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardy Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Do we even know for sure that Maggie's will be the sponsor? Or was the poster typing with Tongue firmly in cheek? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Right, I'm fucking bored, especially with the complete lack of Rovers news. Outlandish Rovers rumours, go! Marvin Andrews is set to return for a 4th spell as a player/coach, splitting his time between Kirkcaldy and a post as head coach of Trinidad and Tobago's Under 19s Manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 McGlynn's wants to bring Vincent Talio back to Starks Park to solve our problem at right back. Unfortunately, accommodation is a stumbling block at the moment, and Mario's been unable to get him in at the Victoria due to a recent spike in Fife tourism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ian Rankin is currently rewriting more than half of his latest novel after jumping the gun with the first draft, with several key plot points involving Raith Rovers playing in the SPL. The climax of the story, in which it is revealed that all fourteen of John McGlynn's summer signings are undercover police officers, was set to involve Detective Inspector Marcus Porter of F Division and the Number 9 shirt scoring a shock hat-trick at Celtic Park to clinch the league title, before arresting 30,000 members of the home support singlehandedly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually half true. New director Val McDermid has expressed concerns at our inability to tap into the lesbian fan market , and big Marv's coming back with the promise of curing them all. I for one am glad we've finally got a director with some commercial savvy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Fife's finest have bought 5 more £2000 flags to go along the Railway stand. Each of these flags let people know "We don't want to go to Idaho, we'd rather stay home in Kirkcaldy" in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Japanese. In other news, John Stewart has reportedly signed terms with the club after several seasons negotations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broken Algorithms Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Herve Ebanda to make a shock return as club painter & decorator. The worrying thing is, even from about 2 yards away he'd still miss the target. On the news of this new painter decorator, outside of the main stand, boardroom, dressing rooms and managers office are all set to be painted pink too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
