Stark's Park remains one of my favorite Scottish football venues. Not just because of the historic corner stand, but also because of the railway line on the western side of the pitch. I like how your film not only brings across the tense game-day atmosphere from this Park, but also showcases its distinct architecture.
Raith Rovers might not be a super, big, massive club like Dunfermline Athletic but we have done alright in the derbies this season. Seriously though, outwith Celtic, Rangers, Hearts, Hibs and Aberdeen. I think there is very little between the other full time clubs in Scotland in terms of size, fanbase, history, current placing and quality of the team. From the likes of St Johnstone and Ross County in the Premiership, down to Falkirk and Hamilton in League 1, there is not much between them. If Rovers were to go up, then I see no reason why they could not compete with teams in the bottom half of the Premiership and potentially stay up.
Stats against each other is irrelevant to determine who’s the bigger as in my opinion Dunfermline are the bigger club. They’ve won the Scottish cup twice with Raith having won the league cup once. Also Dunfermline’s stature in the game is bigger in my opinion. FYI I was born in Dunfermline but no bias as I follow St Johnstone! Been to Stark’s Park once in a Raith v St Johnstone game! Didn’t look like that back then with terracing behind one end and you could see the railway line behind what used to be terracing and open to the elements.
To be Fair both Clubs are fairly evenly matched so maybe they are as big as each other 🤷♂️ Or you could decide the Biggest by the following (fans) of each Club. Great Video as Always 👍
I'd agree. Both belong in the Prem I'd say! Been too long for them both and got great fanbases that would be class in the top tier. Thanks for watching!!
I've nothing against Raith Rovers, but the last thing the premier league needs is another plastic pitch. If Aberdeen, Inverness and Ross County can manage to maintain grass pitches, any club can. Artificial pitches are the worst thing to happen to Scottish football since referees.
Such a poor argument.Have you seen the state of the grass pitches in the top 2 leagues in Scotland? I'd have that plastic pitch over the vast majority of grass.
It’s been said it may be fully impossible as the way the seasons go, in winter sun is blocked out by south stand in summer sun blocked out by north stand meaning that only 1 half of the pitch would grow back
I watched this blind to the score but an ad came right before the first goal, is that timed to do that? It really spoiled the flow and made me think "is this a goal now". Kind of reminds me of when I was in Australia and they would put an ad on in AFL right after a goal.
As a neutral ( I’m a Fulham fan) I remember Dunfermline being in Europe in the late 1960s and beating West Brom over 2 legs , so I think they might be the bigger club .
I'm stunned you had to ask the question; Dunfermline are a bigger club than Raith. Only time Raith have been more successful is when Dunfermline have imploded.
Dunfermline are much bigger clubs played in many leagues cup final..lost out Hib and Celtic winning trophies as two Scottish cup and played several seasons in Europe And played Semi final European in Cup
If Dunfermline at top of league the pars would of fill that stand up easy the last 4 meetings at wee team we only half fill it because we not playing wells
Funny enough I was in a pub and then raith fans started coming down the road but they were wearing black so they thought it was pars fans so they closed the shutters and blocked the doors so we got locked in the pub for about a hour and as soon as the shutters were closed I heard it all started kicking off
@@FootyAdventuresIt's good mate, you're a legend! 😎❤ PS Pls come down to another Edinburgh Derby, ideally Gorgie, in the Hearts end Section N for some real atmosphere!
