Would rather ICT went up. Normally a shite away crowd at Starks and obviously we're shite against them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Hetherston season and recording back-to-back 4-1 home wins against ICT and Ross County. Changed days indeed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilted John Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I see planning permission has been granted for the community hub at the north stand. That’s good news. Hopefully a small step forward in repairing links with the community. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely for a matchday experience it should be at the South Stand, whereby easier access can be gained, and a wee half time visit could also be gained without running the wrath of away fans prior to the game? Unless, in his superior gracefullness and thought process, Sim is gonny chuck us all in the North Stand again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine that the available space behind the South Stand isn't sufficient to achieve this, especially as the players car park is up there too. I wouldn't be adverse to home fans moving to the North Stand, its bigger etc and would allow fans to take advantage of the new facilities overall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would need to move all the tiles and names off the stairs tho. I remember sitting in that stand when we beat Dundee United after McLean left us after 1 game in charge to take over at United. Think I prefer the South stand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregor147 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) The home fans were in the North stand for a season back in the late 80’s/early 90’s I seem to remember. I’m not sure why. It felt a bit strange so I’d prefer to stay in the South Stand Edited May 23 by Gregor147 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heid_The_Baw Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 My thinking was that the concourse under the stand next to the railway could be 'built out' from within to facilitate a unit of the same size. Car park is easy to relocate to the north end. IF we had to move to the North Stand, it would be OK too. The north end of the Railway stand is seated too, and I would much prefer to be at the side of the pitch. Access is from the North Stand. Leave the Main Stand as is, for the old fogeys and the board. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher brash Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Personally think it is more feasible to have it at the north end , Everyone using the pitch hire accesses from that area I believe along with the parents of some of the youngsters sit in the north end while waiting , makes it easy parents sitting in the hub for Tea , snacks etc whilst waiting on there kids extra cash for the Rovers. Also Rovers have a big thing of having the general public away from the main stand/ south out with match days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raithie Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Pardon my ignorance but what exactly is the Hub thingy at the North end meant to be? I've seen the artists impression of what it would look like but no idea what the intention is behind it. I'd heard murmerings we were going to use the car park at the North end for something as well but no idea for what. Must admit when sitting in the North Stand for the Betfred cup games and the first game against Hamilton I quite enjoyed the change of scenery however looking out to the South Stand it just 'looks' like a traditional home end with the close proximity of the Main Stand. I felt a bit isolated in the North Stand watching the games however as a one off it was nice to look out to the home end and seeing the fans celebrating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Against The Machine Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm not sitting anywhere other than the South Stand until they change the typeface on that dreadful "Penman Family Stand" sign that's stuck to its roof. I refuse to look at it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
