Following the Scottish Government’s announcement regarding stadium capacity being capped at 500 fans for the next 3 weeks (with Coronavirus cases rising rapidly due to the Omicron variant), we joined a virtual call with representatives from all SPFL Championship sides over whether or not to proceed with the scheduled festive fixtures.

Each club gave their view on the situation and a majority opted to continue to play, under the upcoming restrictions.

Raith Rovers FC confirm:

  • Rovers supporters will be unable to attend the Boxing Day match against Ayr United. All Rovers supporters who have already purchased a ticket for Sunday’s match will be issued with a refund in due course.
  • Ayr United’s Black and White TV are streaming the match at a reduced price of £15 at https://ayrunitedfc.co.uk/black-white-tv/
  • There will be a ballot system in place for Rovers season ticket holders (further info here) for the following home matches:

29th December 2021 v Queen of the South
2nd January 2022 v Dunfermline Athletic
15th January 2022 v Arbroath

  • The 500 supporters who are granted access to home matches will be over and above essential stadium staff (RRFC staff & volunteers, local & national media, stewards etc.).
  • Season Ticket holders who are not successful in ballots for home matches will have access to watch home matches on RaithTV using their season ticket details (excluding under 16’s who do not qualify for a Raith TV pass).
  • Pay – Per – View passes for our home games can be bought by non – RRFC Season Ticket holders at https://www.raith.tv/ as usual.
