Gordon EF Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Both teams coming off of good winning starts to the season, in what might be the first competitive match between the clubs? It's difficult to know what to expect from this one but I suspect it'll be tight and I think key for us will be defending well from crosses and set pieces. With Alan Trouten supposedly available for selection, I imagine Stevie Crawford's only selection headache will be whether to give Trouten a starting place or keep with the 11 than won at Elgin. I suspect we'll see an unchanged East Fife line up on Saturday with Trouten potentially making an appearance form the bench: Fleming Murdoch - Denham - Steele - Mercer Millar Walls - Newton Ferguson Schiavone - Shepherd Can we expect a healthy away crowd over for Bonnyrigg's first away SPFL game? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bookies seem to have both sides evenly priced but I'll go for a narrow away win via a Bonnyrigg penalty! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthefife Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 10 hours ago, andy25 said: £18 for 4th tier football is an absolute disgrace. Absolutely correct. When the prices were announced for the first time, I thought it surely must have been a mistake. Shameful prices for League 2 and for a season following relegation. With Bayview (rightfully, in my opinion) already earning its unofficial title as League 2's "worst away day", you'd think even the EF board would have been shrewd enough to encourage home AND away fans to come along. *Note Elgin City gate prices ranged from £7-12 which is fantastic value*. Back to the game, impossible one for anybody to predict as it's too early to judge where all the teams are at. Both teams can be confident in taking the 3 points. Agree with the previous poster that from EF's point of view, we will need to work on defending set-pieces which have been our Achilles Heel for as long as I can remember now. King Kev will no doubt be a threat and will be eager to get on the scoresheet. Would stick with the same starting XI that defeated Elgin last weekend. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were getting ripped off when we went to Alloa in the Scottish Cup last season. The admission charge for this soulless ground is even worse. Hold your heads in shame the East Fife board, you have probably stopped about 100-200 Rose fans from coming to the game. As for me I’ll make my decision on Saturday morning.

I decided not to renew my season ticket given the outrageous prices. I will be cherry picking home games this season. It cost me £7 to get into the Elgin game last week. It will cost me £18 if I go on Saturday. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnyrigg’s exactly the same, and as they’ll proudly tell you whether you ask or not, U12’s go free with a paying adult for the 14th season in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Below is an excerpt from the Chairman's Season end statement. Finally, we will implement an option to pay-up your season ticket for supporters who are unable to lay out the full amount up front. Those wishing to take up this option should contact the club office directly after tickets go on sale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ham89 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The only reason I'm not going tomorrow is the £18 entry. It's hardly bank breaking, but add in transport, half time pie and bovril and suddenly its not the usual cheap day out. Onto the football, tough one to pick. I can see both teams fancying their chances so possibly a score draw is on the cards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIB Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I'm concerned that with the number of people being vocal in their disappointment about the ticket prices and saying they're not coming because of that; the matchday income will end up less than if they'd dropped or even maintained the price. Interested to see what sort of crowd appears tomorrow but it certainly appears to be a misguided decision considering so many people are struggling these days. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B75 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 £18 for EF? I think I'll pick and choose what away games I attend this season. At home is a different story, I'll be there for them all. C'mon The Rose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love East Fife through but can't help look at those running the club in a negative light. I was more than prepared to get behind the team this season but where has the ticket rise came from? I could understand if we had signed a couple of experienced (fit) players but we have an abundance of youngsters throughout the squad. I wasn't aware of the option to pay up your season ticket though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bravehearts dad Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Well it’s Saturday morning and I have decided to make a stand and not travel to Fife and encourage the rip off merchants who are our hosts today by holding the fans to ransome for admission price. Money grabbing so and sos. I will take a trip to the seaside on the south bank of The Forth and watch the 2 youngsters the Rose loaned to Whitehill at Dunbar instead. The money I save today will go towards a day out when we visit Stranraer next Saturday. C’mon The Rose 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
