Kooz92 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I'll agree that the phone option for this was pretty shite. It took 6 phone calls over 30 minutes before I got an answer that wasn't the answering machine to let me get my tickets on Wednesday. I will say though, tickets were in hand via post Thursday morning so kudos to the office staff for the speedy distribution of the tickets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R.R.FC Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 36 minutes ago, CountryBumpkin said: The bigger issue is why are these not sold online? I appreciate that Linlithgow are a smaller club, but surely we could have assisted them with the ticket sale process if necessary, online sales removes all of these queue problems (at this scale anyway) Linlithgow did sell a small amount online, I imagine the reason they have not done all tickets this way is to ensure the allocations are respected and they don’t end up with over half the ground as Rovers fans. I imagine the issue of us selling our allocation online would be setting up the system to allow season ticket holders priority and limit to one per person so those with season tickets weren’t just snapping up 10 tickets for their mates. FWIW there are still paper tickets on sale from Linlithgow direct and hospitality spaces for £35 a head if anyone is desperate to find a way of getting along to the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got option for folk to think about if they are desperate to go. Edited January 13 by Raithie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The war of words over a stalled investment bid at Raith Rovers has escalated further, with Swiss businessman Mike Dellios aiming a fresh blast at club chairman Steven MacDonald. Dellios has been acting as an advisor to Silverbear Capital, the Hong Kong-based investment firm recently credited with an interest in the club. The Swiss national has been accused of “unprofessional” conduct by Rovers chief MacDonald, who has declared any proposed deal between the club and Silverbear “dead in the water”. But Dellios, who came into contact with the club when his EVRO Football Pro academy business – which has no links to Silverbear – was providing them with players on trial, has accused MacDonald of “distortion of facts” as well as blocking proposed player transfers into the club. In an emailed statement sent to Courier Sport, he claimed the Raith chairman had failed: “To provide data for the due diligence, to set up a Zoom call with [Rovers owner] John Sim [and] to arrange a proposed meeting in Thailand with John Sim to speed things up.” He also insisted proposed deals for trialists provided by his EVRO academy had nothing to do with Silverbear’s interest – and had been stonewalled by MacDonald. Dellios wrote: “Players were asked by [Raith manager] Ian Murray to go for trials on the 22nd September 2022 as he was in desperate need of players. “46 days later chairman Steven MacDonald disclosed the financial difficulties and the need of an investor. “Further 13 days onwards, the first formal contact to Silverbear Capital was established and it was agreed to have a look at the club. “This timeline proves that the players had absolutely nothing to do with Silverbear Capital. Both players, who played four [bounce] games for Rovers (also v Hibs), had offers to sign with other clubs during the January window, but decided to go with Raith Rovers, cause of their promises and style of play. “Furthermore a Swiss ex-youth international from LASK (Austrian top tier) was invited by Ian Murray [and] James Carlin [scout] and [Scottish Football Hall of Fame member] Gordon Smith arranged a possible loan with Manchester City (one of the top clubs in the world) for Raith Rovers. “Both deals were blocked by Steven MacDonald, chairman of Raith Rovers, despite the fact that Raith asked for it.” Dellios added: “During the last two meetings, in the presence of chairman Steven MacDonald, John Sim, James Carlin, Gordon Smith and Mike Dellios, it was established that such business practices are unacceptable and the talks could only resume [if] there would be an imminent change of management.” Steven MacDonald, when approached for comment on Dellios’ statement, said: “As far as I am concerned, I am done talking about Mr Dellios.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tiel Burn Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Mike, read The room and GTF. Swiss International, out of contract...funny a wee bit of googling and his kid played for their under 16's...... Well done Steve McDonald for ending the bun fight. "NO comment" is just what this needed. Courier rightly trying to get some kind of scoop which is why the lack of drama in the Sum piece was spot on. Papers need conflict and drama to shift units, problem is folk think journalists are at times supportive folk. A good couple of days for club comms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, I'm not sure I completely follow what that article is trying to say. It's all over the place! Swiss Internationals and loans from Man City all desperate to go to the Rovers.... Aye right. I'm quite happy that we appear to be desisting from getting this Delios character involved. Kudos to the board on that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Does this sound like the shysters were wanting rid of Ian Murray? If so, it was probably spite for him rejecting the trialists. Quote Dellios added: “During the last two meetings, in the presence of chairman Steven MacDonald, John Sim, James Carlin, Gordon Smith and Mike Dellios, it was established that such business practices are unacceptable and the talks could only resume [if] there would be an imminent change of management.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 I think they want rid of MacDonald. I'd imagine it's something like. We have the best chairman in the world waiting for the job, but you don't know him he's not from round here and he'd batter your chairman because he's got a black belt but he just doesnt want to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
