Chicofan Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Considering the possibility of Raith away on saturday....Haven't been too see us v Raith away for about 20 years. Â Whats it like for an away day? decent boozers near the ground...train station near the ground? Â Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 San Starko certainly hasn't been one of our happiest hunting grounds over the years (but then again, where has been?), but a day oot in Fife is always worth it, ken? Â Station about 20 min from the park (if you're up for it you can jump from the train as it goes past). Don't recall seeing any boozers between the station and the ground.

Guest fredthecheesecloth Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Have never attempted raith away as a 'trip' and will probably never try. Â Trains appear to be via Edinburgh, fairly expensive, and don't think there is much going close to the ground, although if you give Andy Dowie, Steve Fulton or Jamie Mitchell a call I am sure they can point you in the right direction.

potty trained Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Save your money for Ayr. Last "worthwhile" game of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Well, Raith have 1 more point than Ayr having played two more games and have one of the worst home records in the league. Â So if we won, it would be a hollow victory and not worth celebrating in any way. If we didn't win, it would be shockingly bad result and increase calls for McNamara to resign. Â The joys of being a Jags fan, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Cheers If you do decide to go, Chicofan, the pubs worth note are the Novar in Nicol St and the Estuary in Links St. Both are en route from the station and usually very busy. The Estuary is probably the nearest to the ground (5mins) so best to get in before the supporters buses arrive. In my mind only Palmerston, Dingwall and Ayr are better away visits but when you look at the rest that's not saying much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uberteeb Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 It’s not too bad if you don’t mind paying the rather pricey train fare via Haymarket. The Novar Bar is the best one, it’s half way between the station and ground and after the game you get to help yourself to a big cauldron of home made soup and bread for free which is good.  There are a few other boozers along the high street, don’t remember any of the names, the one that used to be right beside the ground has closed, don’t know if it has re-opened since our game there earlier this season.  They also have an official smoking bit at the back of the away stand.

twinny Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Unbelievably quiet on here considering we're playing in two hours. Â Bumper away crowd? Doubt it, but a fair few frequent posters do go to away games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collins Out! Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's a good day out. It's on the Fife Coastal path too, so you can combine a walk with a drink with the game then hame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Wouldn't surprise me if we only had about 200 or so there. No one gives a **** again at this stage of the season. Â The Novar Bar is a cracking football pub which makes the trip slightly more bareable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinny Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thought I should post the link to Raith Rovers' online commentary in this thread too. They're broadcasting today and it costs £3.50, don't know anything else about it than that unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clinically Depressed Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Folks. Due to ongoing (but hopefully being attended to)health problems, I couldn't make the trip, but watch out tomorrow when I'm hoping to do another double-whammy of pics from both the under-19 and under-17 games.

Tom Hosie Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 To anyone following the game via www.ptfc.co.uk. Having a majorly difficult afternoon through a combination of things. Apology for the loss of service, and any further loss of service, during the first half especially since it happened just as we scored. You can always try the Club's twitter feed https://twitter.com/#!/ThistleTweet should there be further problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
