 |

Well?
The atmosphere at Stark's Park was never brilliant, but at the moment it really is plumbing the depths of despair. That was the teams third win in a row yesterday, not that you'd know it. The atmosphere died some time around the end of 2013 or the start of 2014 and it hasn't come back.
How do we solve this?

Not sure it will come back, not for a good while at least. Crowds have been on a downward trend for years now. Of course some don't go anymore because they'd rather watch Soccer Saturday with Jeff Stelling.

You're possibly correct. Short of some fantastic Rovers team taking to the park and playing football like we did back in the glory days, i'm not sure how you get it back.
Not really to do with singing this, but my personal view would be, if we are playing music, we should play some more upbeat stuff. That could help a little with raising the mood. Not sure who is in charge of the music at Starks but i'm not a fan. We regularly play Status Quo, Rocking All Over The World after we've won a game. I don't mind that, but the stuff before games and at half-time is the very definition of bland.
Also, get the Can-can music on when we score a goal, to remind the older ones of Munich. I'd be up for that, although it would probably get 'old' pretty quickly, like when we endlessly played Chelsea Dagger.
I think I shouted "Come on Rovers" a couple of times yesterday, so the players must have been doing something right.

If it wasn't for the boo boys the place would be like a morgue. Polite clapping when a goal goes in and apart from that just the odd grumble and incoherent shout. Raith Rovers fanbase consists almost entirely of sweetie rustlers at the moment. We should just get travel rugs and bunnets and be done with it.

I don't know about you but from my position in the South Stand I could hardly hear the tannoy/music yesterday, it was considerably worse than it has been, made out the subs announcements that was about it! |

Maybe getting the speakers fixed will solve everything. They've been knackered for years. Occasionally I see the club mentioning they've been fixed. Then you come on here and people are talking about them still being goosed.

To be clear I was only making the point I wasn't saying this would solve everything that's just ridiculous but I guess it doesn't help. |

| Opening the railway stand would allow the chance to get that bit closer to the players and make sure they definitely hear every negative comment that comes from the worst support in Scotland. |

Why dont you do that then take it to ibrox so rangers fans can take it from you post photo`s of it online before destroying it.We can all sit back do nothing to help then watch while you try to organise a fundraising night to raise funds to replace it.The other thing you can do if you want is get a huge flag made costing almost a grand take it down to starks park on a match day and put it into the railway stand.There is enough room in there as there wont be any fans in that stand to get an atmosphere or shout abuse for 90 mins at their own players.I am sure it will be appreciated from the players that you are trying to bring a bit of colour to an otherwise drab and boring day at starks park.If you take your brand new flag to falkirk in future mind make sure you send pictures of it to them so they can validate what is printed on it.You will also have to contact other clubs to give them the same information. I am sure there is 1 or 2 half decent people in the worst support in scotland who may help you do so just in case you dont know who to contact or even how. Just some friendly tips for when you get your new flag.
