RAITH ROVERS FOOTBALL SUPPORTERS’ CLUB is the official link between R.R.F.C. and the fans. Formed in 1926, The Supporters’ Club is a major shareholder in Raith Rovers F.C Holdings Ltd. The aim of the club is to assist fans in their efforts to attend matches both home & away,and to encourage them to become involved in the club at times other than on match days.

The S.C is run by a committee of lifelong Rovers fans who are elected by the members at the A.G.M which is held annually in May, and there are two honorary positions.

On matchdays the committee are responsible for a number of tasks carried out at Stark’s Park including – The running of the Club Shop ,the distribution & sale of Match Programmes & 50-50 tickets, the Matchday announcer, the Ball boys, the Mascots, and the half-time Penalty-kick / Beat the Goalie competitions.

Members of the club come from all walks of life and all parts of the country, even the world.

We have had large contingents from Sunderland, London and Northern Ireland as well as Australia and Canada. But the majority of the members are ordinary everyday people with one thing in common, they SUPPORT RAITH ROVERS !.

Supporting the Club

Most people support “the team”, The Supporters’ Club also supports “the club”. Over the years we have received requests from The Rovers to assist in the purchase of equipment, and whenever possible we have been happy to oblige. During the Frank Connor years we helped with the purchase of suits for the players. We also stocked up the gym with up to date equipment for Jimmy Nicholl. The old shop at the rear of the main stand was converted into a laundry room with washing & drying equipment paid for by the Supporters’ Club. And during the much publicised “Save the Rovers” campaign, members of the Supporters’ Club spent many hours fundraising in shopping centres and supermarkets. In the last few years the Supporters’ Club have contributed over £100,000 to help in the running of Raith Rovers Football Club.

Player of the Year Dance

The dance is an annual event, and traditionaly takes place on the evening of the last home game of the season. Most have been memorable, the odd one best forgotten, but every year everyone looks forward to the night out with the players. This is the night when the best are rewarded, and the worst are forgiven. The Player of the year is chosen by members of the Supporters’ Club, The Players Player of the year is chosen by the team, and The Young Player of the year is the choice of the manager.

Grand Prize Draw

The annual prize draw is run in the lead up to the Player of the year dance and the winners are drawn at the dance itself.
