Letter from Kirkcaldy: Will they be dancing in the streets of Raith?

Or maybe that should be Kirkcaldy, but either way it won't be the worst thing if Rovers' bid to join the SPL elite  falters in the next week or two. We love Stark's Park as it is thank you.

FLYING PROUDLY: Ahead of the home win against Ayr United at Stark's Park

THE SAN STARKO – home of the mighty Raith Rovers is a football ground like no other. Google a football stadium must-visit bucket list and the recurring venues will be the Nou Camp and Santiago Bernabeu in Spain, Milan’s San Siro, the Maracanã in Rio, maybe the German titans of Bayern Munich’s Allianz Arena and the yellow wall of Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park. Wembley, Old Trafford and Anfield get a few mentions too. 

For me, a dream was finally realised when I ended a 45-year wait to be one of the fortunate 3,579 In attendance as Raith beat Ayr United 2-1, at little old Stark’s Park.
