24. Author: Luxembourg Par Date: Tue 24th Mar 2026. 22:25 Not sure I want them to go down… If we don’t get promoted, I’d love to pump them four times next season. Also don’t want them to have a 1st div title winning season to reset. Reply

26. Author: coventrypar Date: Tue 24th Mar 2026. 22:47 Its been a pivotal couple of weeks - we are now on a decent run at the right time. We have had a great last 6 games - only St J I think are better and Ayr are poor. We can secure 4th over the next 2-3 games Raith - I don`t care what they do as long as they aint catching us. Their crowds have been embarrassing ... less than 2500 tonight and given that includes STH`s it was probably 1500 in attendance with probably 400 Partick people included. I hope their pie sales don`t show more pies than punters. The Inland Revenue will soon be asking "Who ate all the pies" "If you have no kind words to say you should say nothing more at all" Reply

I was in Kdy from age 13 - 29 Whilst relegation would be funny - pumping them 4 times next season would be way better Reply

It really depends on what you think the local catchment area is. With the demise of the old burghs, population statistics in Scotland are now measured in (at least) two ways - Locality and Settlement - by the use of contiguous postcodes. There can be significant differences between these, as a "settlement" includes all the adjoining urban areas. LOCALITY (2020 figures): Dunfermline 55k Kirkcaldy 50k Falkirk 36k Motherwell 33k SETTLEMENT (2020 figures): Dunfermline 76k Kirkcaldy 50k Falkirk 103k Motherwell 126k Kirkcaldy`s figure remains unchanged as there isn`t much "Greater Kirkcaldy" beyond the town, whereas the other settlements include Rosyth, Inverkeithing etc (Dunfermline), Grangemouth, Larbert, Polmont, Stenhousemuir etc (Falkirk), Wishaw, Newmains, Holytown etc (Motherwell).

32. Author: neils Date: Wed 25th Mar 2026. 12:09 Not just that, Kirkcaldy also has the ice hockey team, that`s got to hit the football team, I think that`s about 2000 fans. There can`t be that many go to both. Reply

37. Author: Indiapar1 Date: Wed 25th Mar 2026. 14:29 I thought at the beginning of the season the Rovers would suffer for their promotion push last season. They have an older yeam with some legacy signings. I thought they would tail off as the season progressed. With older players they have generally peaked so there are diminishing benefits with respect to coaching than you would get from younger players. You can see the difference with ourselves in terms of tge improvements amongst tge younger players as the season has gone on. Yes there will be some inconsistencies but I think that far outweighs the drop in performances you can get from a team of older players who are near the end of their career or perhaps carrying longer term injuries.

40. Author: jake89 Date: Thu 26th Mar 2026. 12:58 Population figures hold less weight when you consider Dunfermline spent years being around 40k people before expanding rapidly (now around 60k) but primarily made up of either people moving from elsewhere in Dunfermline or from outside Dunfermline. Those outside will in most cases continue to follow the team they were brought up supporting and their kids the same. Obviously there are exceptions and the school engagement should help grow the support. Kirkcaldy is a weird one in that Raith just never seem to have been well supported. Is Kirkcaldy populated by a lot of people who originated elsewhere in Scotland? Arguably you could include Glenrothes in "Greater Kirkcaldy" but it`s filled with the offspring of Weegie miners.
