Copying Dunfermline have a season ticket so it really doesn't affect me.

If this idea is going to be successful it will depend on the outcome of the cup final. Hopefully, if we win the non season ticket holders in the 2000 plus support will attend this match. If we lose and when you consider our shocking form which is pushing on four months now, it could be an anti climax.

I'll settle for any sort of win regardless of the crowd.

would have more chance if pay at the gate was resumed. folks might not commit to buying a ticket until they see the weather etc.

good to see the club trying entice the lost supporters back to SP though.

Friday lunchtime and not much mention of the game.
Nobody interested then?
If, and it's a huge 'if', Queens beat Thistle (of Maryhill) tonight then it's still very much game on again for the last playoff spot.
Can we win a league game again this season?
The great imponderable!

If this ends in another defeat that takes it to 1 win in 16 games, I think all the debate on the management will become academic, thats 2 games shy of half a season with only that one win, no manager no matter who they are can survive that

I'm fully expecting yet another horror show full of defensive mistakes, poor tactics and substitutions. We really have become a poor team over recent months with no sign of it ending. Their tactics will be long throws into the box and high balls to Gozie and it'll work a treat.

1-2 Morton.

In the second half of the season league table posted in the other thread, Morton are sitting third with six wins, six draws and 3 defeats from their 15 games. We on the other hand sit bottom with one win in 15. The form book says it will be an away win and the best we can hope for is a draw. I'll still be supporting the boys and hoping that we can throw form out the windae and win the 3 points at home.

If we can get the right team on the park , we are more than capable of beating Greenock Morton!!
Hopefully, the team will show mental fortitude and not be exercised by the negative attitude which has beset some contributors on Fantalk.
C'mon The Rovers!

With last nights result, we need 4 wins to get playoffs I think, today is a must win now and by a good margin of goals given Partick are 6 ahead of us with a better +10 goal difference too. Hoping for a 4-0 win, expecting a struggle against a much improved Morton side.

It's last chance saloon day.
Win and we're still hanging on with having to play Partick next week. Lose and the season is finished. Draw and you're at the furthest point of the elastic snapping.
As for today I just hope that they can defend the shelling of the ball into the box from long throws over and above any other form of direct play.
As for taking control of the game I'm not holding my breath that'll be the Rovers the way games have been working out in recent times.
However, as ever, any win will do. Don't care a whit how it's achieved.

Just seen the starting eleven and the bench
It's going to be a long afternoon methinks but I really hope that I'm proved wrong. Connolly, Ross and Zanatta all benched. Mackay and Benedictus centre backs. Oof!🥴
