Stellaboz Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 (edited) Get the font and colour of the update "pictures" on the club's twitter changed ASAP.

Shandon Par Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Craw talked about McInroy's long range shooting so good to read that he scored a 20 yarder on his debut. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Anyone else concerned about the future of the club? With potentially no crowds at all this season, that seems like an insurmountable funding gap. I believe the board budgeted on the basis that there would be no crowds at first, but think they did expect them to come back for at least January onward (although I don't know if that's been officially confirmed). The fact is that there will be a huge shortfall, and I'm concerned about the future of the club because of this. I know the obvious answer is that the German lads would plug the gap, but are they willing and indeed able to do so? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe an argument to be had that we shouldn't have signed the players we have with all this uncertainty around. I do genuinely think with the new investors we'll be in a better footing than others but I guess only time will tell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If games stop then I guess we could release them. Hope that they didn’t budget for October crowds, that would be optimistic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_no_1 Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Every football fan in the country should be worried. Our game is heading for disaster. I would say we're in a better position than a few but will still struggle this winter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, I can see this ending up with fans having to organise fund raising activities to save their clubs from going bust if this goes on for much longer. I hope it doesn't get to that stage though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully clubs will have budgeted with the chance of No fans in stadiums this year or some could be in bother.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CALDERON Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Going by the chairman's interview it seems Raith are assuming no fans this season or have factored that in. Would imagine most clubs have. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 There's absolutely no way that Raith never mind any other club in this division have factored in no fans at all this season: you would see an enormous drop in the quality and size of playing squads if they were equipping for such a huge loss of revenue. What they might expect to happen now and what their budget is actually equipped for are not the same thing. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC. Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 I think we'll have sold around the 2000 mark so far. At a push we could get 2500 before the season starts, but I'd say around 2300 is probably going to be the realistic amount as there is no guarantee this season will even be able to be completed not to mention fans getting in to games. Some folk just cba with the whole online viewing thing and would rather attend games. A lot haven't even got the money. Really isn't good tbh for us as we probably would have got 3000+ sold in normal circumstances imo. The investor backing will probably help bridge that gap this season you'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch our chairmans interview sounds like we are relying on Raith TV and fans signing up to get through the season. He doesnt think its cost effective for us to open a stadium with 300 or 500 fans allowed in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
