I think that would be quite nice with a less intrusive sponsor - maybe even if they’d agreed to offset is slightly to avoid merging into the stripe.
I think I really do like it, but that gap in the stripe catches my eye each time, annoyingly.

Clyde must have had something against RAF personnel.
Their Chairman, Mr Göring, denied this at the time.

I'd say, looking at their squad and signings, that finishing above Partick will win you the league!

No mention of limits regarding who is screened, so can we estimate approximately 95% OF-centric, with maybe a couple of Embra derbies in there?

Watch out for the "in McGlynn we trust" culture....
Just sayin.
I know. Just got to hope he has learnt from errors in the past, or the board simply say 'no' if things look like pushing it.

Other than being the side which tawed you and won the league at a canter. Add Airdrie and Dunfermline and you would still be a league 1 outfit next year playing in Grangemouth. That is all.

I mean, for starters it wasn't an "invincible season", as you lost to Dundee United, TNS, and Bonnyrigg Rose.
For seconds, it's genuinely hilarious you're actually gloating about this as if people will be jealous.
You know fine well it refers to the league you cheeky monkey.
And the comments from these others are quite revealing. They won L1 at a canter, but nobody will remember that side in 20 years time.
They are welcome to have a bash next time they're down though.

Are Falkirk fans serious when they act like being "invincible" in the Scottish third tier is an achievement?
Yeah, silly Falkirk fans, hur hur hur.
INVINCIBLE seasons come around every year or two don't they.

We had to hurriedly release a 3rd strip a couple of years ago when it was realised that, in a stroke of genius, neither of the first two choices were any use against Montrose (or Cove?)
Ironically it was the nicest of the 3.

At the 4th attempt Scone played Violet last night with the visitors winning 2-0 in front of a larger than normal crowd for the hosts.
From what i heard as 2 Scone officials talked to each other the prospect of the split league next year is not going down well with the smaller teams, concerned that they may be having a good season and be sitting 10th at the split then lose every game in the final 9, making the end to the season horrendous and spoiling the perception of the season. it might be better to finish 11th or 12th at that point and then have 9 more games you can win.
I see https://x.com/doingthe116 was at the Scone game last night. I recognise one or two of the ultras

The Falkirk grass pitch used to be excellent with excellent drainage. I think Jim Dawson won groundsman of the year a few times. Pretty sure it was hybrid as well.
It was, but after he left it went downhill. By 2011 and 2012 it was fit for tatties.

I have no idea about Falkirk’s new pitch. I was talking about when I used to work in Falkirk and saw a few games there. It would have been an older surface. Yogi would have been their manager, and we’d have had the likes of Andy Dorman and Billy Mehmet in the stripes. Never moaned about that hybrid pitch. It definitely was not of the shag pile, shite type favoured by newly relegated and hopefully liquidation threatened Ferrantibank Thistle.
You're very confused, if you think we had an artificial surface back then.
Yogi left in summer 09, the first artificial surface went down in summer 13.

Having spoken separately to two recent owners/chairmen of clubs, they know the rough budgets of their competitor clubs, and are generally happy to discuss them, in broad terms.

McLaughlin and Shirra (I thought he was a midfielder?) were up against your standard 1960s/70s wingers who were about 2 foot 6 though

I would say that the Falkirk team that won the invincible season were a better team than Airdrie's were in League 1.
A big part of how we were successful last season was the signings of Kanayo Megwa and Mason Hancock, that helped to tighten up our defence and I think only Dundee United and ICT conceded few goals than us.
A lot of the games in the championship are tightly contested and most of them are only decided by a single goal, it is a massive step up in comparison to League 1.
As much as it's enjoyable winning 5/6-0 every week, every game in the championship is an occasion and it is a much more enjoyable league to be in.
Despite scoring loads of goals in league 1 we were one of the lowest scorers in the championship, so scoring 90 odd in league 1 doesn't automatically means you'll score loads in the championship.
I'd say Falkirk would need to add a central defender next to Tom Lang and try to get a natural goalscorer in, but I think you'll be more than competitive this season.
Agree with all of this.
Especially the last line. For a team that scored 96 or so league goals, the amount of chances we missed was frightening. McGlynn was bemoaning a lack of clinicism up front every week it seemed. Donaldson was magnificent last year largely due to the influence of Lang, but if his injury issues resurface, we may need a similar character there beside CD.

I have to agree with this guy here. Let's stop saying we're a better squad than Airdrie who have just had a crack at Premier play offs and horsed us in last years play offs. There is no way we can call our squad better than theirs.
Agreed.
We might be sensational this year, we might be woeful, we will most likely be somewhere in between.
As someone once said, "The past is a foreign country" so we should probably apply that thought to our prospects this season.

We had Brians Martin and Irvine at around about the same time starting off their careers.
Both let go for frankly pathetic amounts, as was our wont.
