Rovers are already looking forward to next weekend's money-spinning tie against Aberdeen, which despite the short notice, is to be an all-ticket affair.

 

Tickets details are due to be announced via the club's official website, www.raithroversfc.com, imminently with Ticketmaster expected to provide an online service for Rovers fans.

 

 

Looking forward to this. Never been there before.

Starks Park is a decent ground. I've nae been there since about 1995, but it was a decent ground back then. The stands are quite tidy and relatively modern, whilst still giving the ground a bit of character (unlike lifeless morgues like Rugby Park)

£12- not bad, not bad at all.

Booked mine the day, but the wife charged us as adults when we are students!

 

Chances of being refunded?

Read elsewhere that 1,500 tickets were sold today, not sure how folk find out stuff of that nature.

Should be a good trip down. Went past Starks 100s if times on the train but never been there looking forward to it

Our mob is booked up, just to organise a pub.

The pubs are going to be hoaching for this game. I'll leave the recommendations to others. I would be in the Novar, but it'll be rammed. I might see if I can get signed into the KUSI.

 

Betty Nicols at the East End of the High Street is a decent enough boozer. The pubs working along the High Street from East to West are Harbour Bar, Royal Scot (might have closed down), The Port Brae, The Heritage (hairy tadge), Betty Nicols, Wetherspoons, Auld Hoose, Wheatsheaf, the Exchequer, Bar Itza, O'Connells (this might be a shout as it's a barn of a place), Penny Farthing, The Abbey, The Novar, Estuary, Starks Bar....have I missed some?

 

..Harlem down at the seafront. Is Thunder Road still open, it's near the train station?

 

I think that's them all covered!

 

Just to add:

 

The Abbey is pretty near the ground, with Bar Itza, O'Connells, The Penny Farthing and the Exchequer all being not too far. The rest of them may be a bit of a trek.

 

Edited to add: Harlem is now called McSquinty's and Thunder Road is no more. Thunder road is now a club called 'DV8'.

 

 

We have our own sources 

 

And being the nosy bastard you are I'm surprised you haven't sneaked into our forum to read 

The Port Brae mentioned in Glasgow Sheep's many quotes is owned by Willie Johnston! So best probably avoided by us!

That didn't clear up the whole "Which Pub?" question at all.

Or we could go and trash it

There are a handful of pubs at the West end of the High Street which is the end nearest the ground (10 minutes walk away). From train station its about 5-10 minutes south on foot just before the sea front, if you come in a supporters bus then you will probably get parked on the sea front at the West end. The more 'modern' pubs seem to be located around that area, the East end of the High Street tends to be old mans bars. I'd go with The Exchequer, O'Connells (more food than bar), or the Abbey for starters. The Wheatsheaf (just off mid high street) is a decent pub but not big.

Just mentioned one to avoid, whilst enquiries ongoing into one's to go to

Why re trash?!, suprised at you Mizer, nae like you to want to trash anywhere. Only mentioned nae place for us sheep shaggers to go before game v Raith next week.

Panthers/no 69/80s bar.

 

lol

Reminiscing great FJ 

 

You intending to come back to the streets of Raith for this game?

Some good tips, my mates bringing his son up for the game, which of the above would be most suitable, got tipped to go to Novar but seems like thats going to be mobbed?

Pretty sure the Abbey is a Hun pub aswell... There's a signed 'admiral' top behind the bar.. 

Penny farthing - tiny pub.

I always thought the novar bar was a hun pub.

 

Don't think so based on their website 

Novar Bar is a Raith pub I think. Sure you would be welcome but it might be a little parochial. Probably better with 'generic multi-chain model' style pubs. They lack character and atmosphere but tend to be easy to move around in and get served etc.

seem to remember hearing it was a pick up point for the kdy huns bus. might be wrong though.

 

Raith = huns anyway so we are in agreement 

Being a Kirkcaldy boy myself, like, I would probably recommend 'The Abbey' as the closest, decent drinking establishment to Starks Park. Only 5 - 10 minutes walk/stagger from the ground depending on how much alchohol has been consummed! A little inside info for ya'll, the owner is a die hard Rangers fan!! Ha!

 

Avoid them pubs on Links Street if possible.

You're just trying to get people to go to a gay bar.

 

No...

 

Your thinking of 'The Penny Farthing'.

 

Your old haunting ground

Avoid them pubs on Links Street if possible.

 

yeah, you'll get stabbed/punched/kicked/trainers nicked (delete as appropriate)

 

nah only joking....

 

what about Kitty's?
