Presumably he’s handing out the type of contract with incremental yearly wage rises build in which are apparently costing us a fortune.

Just wait till you find out the bonus’s that our ex CEO handed out too ?

Was there ever an announcement of Karen McCartney leaving ?

That's Akio called up for international duty as well now..

He was never going to start but we're going to be heading into a final with about 3 subs available.

Akio is cup tied

Edit: ignore that got confused with the Scottish cup

The arsehole contingent of Falkirks support will be out and about probably. Can't imagine they'll be too chuffed at so many Fifers taking over their town. 

I don't think any sane Falkirk fan will be bothered about Raith 'taking over'. We'll get a small fee from the SPFL for the stadium use and the pubs in town will get an expected boost.

I wouldn't have minded a wee tour of some of the fine Falkirk imbibing locations, but none of the Accies  buses from the Pubs are planning to do so.

Most are leaving it as late as possible 2:45 or after 3pm to leave but I think this is more due to The Landlords seeing a great opportunity to get much needed  extra trade on a Sunday and who can blame them.

There has only been one late night for tickets at our end and I still know plenty folk trying to get down but struggling due to the restrictive hours.Add in the near non-existent Publicity,our worst team in 20 years and the on going buffoonery from The Club and we have did well so far.

They really should be late nights for tickets and publicising the great Under 12 free tickets offer.They never even advertised  correctly that tickets were on sale after Saturday's game, so plenty folk were unaware they could have bought tickets then.

England v Ukraine. might be more interesting ? live on CH4 😏

Come on now, you know fine well, TV licence or not, you'll be tuned into BBC Alibaba on Sunday afternoon cheering on the Accies as a Rovers win will mean we'll have won four and a half national trophies, further enhancing our status as Fife's most successful football club.

Accies Ticket Office open till 5pm tonight and 7pm tomorrow night.

I think the 7pm is realisation that the restricted Ticket Office opening hours has stopped  folk being physically able to go down and get tickets due to still on the way home from workplaces etc.

Still miniscule advertising and half the town unaware of when the game is,the price of tickets(kids under 12 are free)and the push to sell tickets.

Compare and contrast to promoting Fireworks Nights etc.

Apparently Ngwenya available after returning early from international duty.Obviously not been selected for the up and coming games against Egypt

 

 

 

 

He was back playing for us on Saturday, apparently arrived in Edinburgh half 11 and headed straight to Starks to take his place on the bench. Great commitment from the lad.

Interesting item on the Rovers match preview on the official site. If game goes to pens the ref will decide which end the pens will take place (no coin toss). Down to his discretion taking into account potential crowd incursions.

So the Hamilton end then.

They should use one of the practice goals for penalties and set it up on the touchline at the vacant end of the ground. It's the only acceptable solution.

Spoke  to a guy down earlier today and it was sitting at  1850 and expected to top 2000 by 7pm.

Very little advertising of the game, crazy Ticket Office hours apart from this week and zero advertising in the town-especially the kids go free deal.

All this and our worst team in 20 years and it is better than many expected and to be honest,they should be selling them tomorrow and Sunday morning.
