CallumPar Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm looking forward to the game. Have always enjoyed the Falkirk games more than the ones against Raith. Can't understand the fans trying to play down the rivalry, so that they can pretend they don't care if we get beat. Can guarantee, if we had been in good form, they'd be going on about looking forward to winning this. As was the case with Raith away, I'm assuming a lot of fans will be buying tickets tomorrow or Saturday morning, as well as several assuming that this will be the same as every other away game against Falkirk, where it's announced on the Friday, that they will sell any remaining tickets on the day. For people living out with West Fife, this will be a more convenient way to buy tickets, rather than travelling to East End on a weekday. I believe we sold 1600 tickets by the Friday of the Raith game, and took 2,500. I would expect us to take around 1,500-1,600 to Falkirk. We won't sell out, because of form and longer travel distance (compared to Raith), but will take a decent crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 We took far more than the reported 2500 to Raith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy85 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 So it's looking likely 1000 extra Dunfermline fans travelled to Kirkcaldy than will make the trip to Falkirk. That's a massive percentage. Case closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't going to miss it but I'm more excited about the pre-match food and drinks with my brother. We're not a very good team to follow at the moment and I'm definitely going out of hope rather than expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a massive percentage. Case closed. That was only your third game of the season though. You'd beaten Dumbarton and put in a credible performance at Easter Road in your first two games. I'd say you went in to the Raith game with a fair amount of optimism, but since then you've taken 4 points from 6 games. I'd suggest it's lack of enthusiasm for games in general than against us.

We took the amount reported, there was around 5,200 there and we had just under half. Even the Pars official website gives a figure of 2,519. What possible motivation would there be for the club to understate the support? We'll likely take about 1,200 to 1,500 to this I'd imagine. And despite photos of a half empty stand there will be folk claiming we took much more than the stated figure. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Look at the pictures of both home and away supports of that day. Look at the stand capacities and then tell me seriously that we had 7-800 empty seats. It was Rovers covering up the fact that they were horribly outnumbered. I'm not one for crowd wanking, but it's blatent lies. Would swap all that easily for a win though, anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers they gave for both home and away end looked way off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless we get promoted) I'd guess we would be due a six figure or thereabouts training fee, taking the Rangers and Dundee utd training fee for Telfer into consideration.

Bearing in mind the Raith support is spread out over two stands, it's a bit weird to say they were horribly outnumbered, because they quite clearly weren't.

It'll be down South or another Falkirk contract. 1 hour ago, MrDust said: I'd guess we would be due a six figure or thereabouts training fee, taking the Rangers and Dundee utd training fee for Telfer into consideration. My bad! Remind me of how the compensation thing works again? I was under the (obviously wrong) impression that the player needed to be under 21 and a new contract offered that was at least equal to the last one.

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The away stand at Raith holds 3,369 They gave this as 1,059 when we visited. I think it probably looks about right. I'm assuming Dunfermline filled all the upper bits? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Baptie Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I couldn't give a f**k how many they bring or whether they are bothered about the fixture. 3pts is a I care about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Most fans know they have a better chance to win in Kirkcaldy than you habitual scudding's in Falkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'll be decorating all weekend so will catch this on open all mics. Tried to find a bit of confidence but it's false - should be an easy home win. The rivalry with Falkirk was much more fierce than with Raith when I started watching games (in the Leishman/Duffy era). The rivalry has died a bit as we've not been near rivals for a long time. When we won the First Division a few years back Falkirk were not challenging. In more recent times we've been garbage. The Raith rivalry increased as we were both going for the title so the games had meaning beyond just bragging rights (until we put them back in their place). We're at the bottom end of the league, not playing well, not looking like we have much of a clue in terms of how to shape up and we lose against every team above us. Glory hunters or realists - can't say I'm too sad to be getting busy with the paintbrush rather than heading to Grangemouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Sure the FIFA regulations are u23 and has to be the first pro contract. I think there are minor loopholes by country but sure the u23 is set in stone of which by chance we made a killing on Mark Stewart as his 23rd birthday was after the season ended and Bradford signed him whilst he was 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
