2019 Accounts & AGMs

Financial Report

The Accounts of Raith Rovers Football Club Ltd for the accounting period ended 31st May 2019 have been audited and approved by the Board of Directors, reporting a loss of £202,541.

This is an improvement of £190,678 on the prior year, as the club continue to strive towards breakeven and financial sustainability. However, this loss is still disappointing and again brings sharp focus to the challenge the club faces whilst operating in league one.

Comparing to the prior year, revenues rose by £142k, across commercial and football streams. This was despite finishing third place in the league, but helped by a good Scottish Cup run. Costs were reduced by a further £50k on prior year, which was planned to have been larger but was countered by an unforeseen change in management team, substantial medical costs, larger maintenance expenditures and changes to off field operations.

Loan funding was in the majority provided by Stark’s Park Properties Ltd through the season, of which John Sim is the controlling party, and by Directors of Raith Rovers. We are very grateful for their continued financial support.

The Board of Directors of Raith Rovers continue to try and balance football ambitions, with prudent spending and seeking revenue opportunities and would like to place on record their huge appreciation of fans, suppliers, sponsors, staff and volunteers who we believe all share the same goal of making our club as great as it possibly can be.

As we now enter the second half of the season, we are in a strong position in the league and are challenging in both the Scottish Cup and in the semi final of the Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer Cup. Our number one footballing ambition remains to be promoted this season and we ask everyone to do whatever you can to help us meet this common goal.
