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.

 

 

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

 

nah only joking....

 

what about Kitty's?

 

Apparently its only a nightclub now.

Kitty's is a night club.

Links Street is pretty rough right enough. Sure there will be a decent presence of OB in that area on the day.

you smoke roll-ups!

I don't smoke.

 

i used to go to panthers too and i dont drink!

about 95-96?

 

was it called 69 after panthers? i remember it always being panthers when i went there!?!

 

mates of mine used to play in a band called Bonafide and played there regularly

great wee place in its day

what was the night club just off the prom called then? was it Cleo's?

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)

 

Agree it's a decent ground now. If I recall correctly Raith invested in their stadium to meet the criteria at the time, when other clubs invested in players resulting in Raith going down the leagues. Criteria for stadiums were subsequently challenged and reduced.

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.

 

The Abbey (previously Abbotshall Hotel) is closest to Starks Park. I've emailed them and football tops are allowed.

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?

 

Novar will be mobbed. How old is his Son?

about 95-96?

Jackie O's!

They've got email? Next you'll be telling me that they're allowed to dance on the streets of Raith.

After yesterday I guess ticket sales will slow up a bit but if we do sell out our allocation I would suggest heading to the link below>>>

Aberdeen based Rovers fan here, looking forward to the game and a good day out.

 

Would think twice before using TicketWeb though, those tickets are for the home end only and the club are taking a firm stance on supporters in the wrong end.  Taken from the Rovers site:

 

SEGREGATION

 

• Fife Constabulary and the Stewards will enforce STRICT SEGREGATION at the match. Any supporter found to be in the wrong part of the Ground will be removed.

• Only HOME tickets can be purchased from Starks Park/Ticketweb.

• ALL AWAY tickets MUST be purchased through Aberdeen FC.

 

Looking forward to the game though and the banter, although I cant see us getting a result.

pah they always say that.

I suspect we'll only just sell out our allocation anyway so can't imagine many if any dandies will be in the rovers end

Dosent bother me personally, but the stewards at Starks are like the gestapo.  People get thrown out for standing up, so they wont take too kindly.

Now that's an irresistable challenge to a fife hating bigot like me. Reckon I've got a minor scuffle or two left in me before my next custodial.

lieterally? 

 

Once they're thrown oot are people loaded onto cattle cars and sent to death camps?

Brown shirts the lot of em.

Yeah, its horrific.

Could always fuck with their heads and in the pubs before the game all raith and dons fans swap tickets. See what the stewards do then

Pumped oot the cup by lower league opposition in front of a sell out of Dons fans... hope not

 

Aye, cos that's not happened recently... oh, wait.

 

Why can't you move on and give people a chance?

I'm nae saying that because of the manager(s), past and present and future... I'm saying it because it will be all too predictable if it happens 

 

I'm nae sure Aberdeen will ever get away from inconsistent cup embarassment in the future. 

 

I certainly don't hold out much hope that this is "our year"

 

I certainly don't hold out the hope either, fair do's that that's your attitude. Just ask because it certainly wasn't your previous stance ye know?

There are a wide range of cunts that could just as easily apply to. I understand precisely what Jager is saying and I too have been prevented from seeing much fitba this season for one reason and another and I think I'm kinda glad about a great deal of that.

Kind of glad work has kept me away from most games this season - most annoying thing is that there is internet on the rig I go to in Iraq this week so I'll still be able to see the match score at some point (and I'll still be able to post annoying shite for all of you to read too) 

 

You're going to Iraq?  I smell shiite.
