overheads? any other club in our league have 3 people on the commercial team? (just an example) i fucking doubt it. u cant run a club like a gravy train council is run, no matter what league u are in, especially in the current climate. talking of councils, do falkirk council make money out of us? are do we benefit from them? (doubtful) clubs simply dont run at a 400k deficit p.a. in this tinpot league without something being very wrong...... especially when they have been here for years

That is disappointing, if true.
Out if interest, when was the last season that you paid for the board? Surely you weren’t paying for advertising space up until last season and they’ve removed it without asking if you wanted to renew this season?
no payments were due, with the exception of the coming season and it was removed prior to any contact from the club, which was actually only initiated by us upon noticing its disappearance. yes there's more important things to be sorted but there's been a good bit of chat on here regarding the state of the advertising contracts and payments not being made etc so felt this was relevant. i have heard that there's been a lot up for years without payment and obviously would expect them to be removed.....

i see from the other nite that the stadium is very light on advertising, We had a board on the far side which was ripped down before the first preseason friendly, no idea where it is, but with absolutely no contact from the club as to whether or not we wished to retain it...... which we would have paid for but not now with the cost of another board being made by the sign company and f**k all communication from the club, we wont bother. its not that difficult to keep local business on board.

Callum Wilson literally played all of our preseason games and signed for us before the Betfred Cup games. When was this trial with Falkirk?
im not gonna argue the timeline but i can guarantee u he was at falkirk for bounce games in the (early) summer and impressed enough to be told he would be offered a deal which never happened. as a family friend i am delighted at how well he has done

havent read todays thread in full so maybe missed this but, callum wilson who scored the winner for dumbarton today was on trial with us all summer, with a promise of a deal from holt after impressing, waited weeks for the phone call which never happened so he signed for dumbarton, young lads on buttons and put more into todays game than every single falkirk player

I had been give knowledge of the 2010 bankruptcy about 3 or 4 weeks ago, lets be honest it wasn't too hard to find, just wondering why it took so long for others who presumably knew this too, to dump it in here and in the public domain? id be amazed if BPM, BTB etc had no knowledge of this weeks ago, prob months now, especially if they have found 31 failed businesses, why keep that quiet? these kind of games don't help anyone, if anything it just pisses off more real fans looking for answers and not agendas

No idea but I find it astonishing that the MSG/BOD have a track record of make awful calls for nearly all their 21 years in charge and now people seem to trust they have this one right.
Anyone but the MSG is not the answer to our club’s problems IMO selling to some outsider with a dreadful business track record who seems slippier that a fish taking over when no one knows him from Adam.
IMO if this guy was the real deal and able to do what he says he can do the deal would have been done in 5 minutes. It is taking so long because he isn’t able to provide the detail the Board want immediately and the MSG are trying to tie the guy down to things post the deal to somehow protect the club.
Set aside the BtB deal for a minute they turned away someone who you could see instantly what he was about and also a former player who was planning to invest decent amounts and the club knew exactly the people involved.
There is something about this MC deal that we are not being told IMO.
All far too shady for me.5 mins to take over a business? has that ever happened? he may be the real deal or he may be a charlatan, really don't think you know enough to make the call, and I don't either. if anythings certain now then its the fact that KJ and the btb mob have came out of it all looking ropey at best. I for one am delighted that the btb bid has failed, credibility has went right out the window and im pretty certain a lot of their backing has too. we all want the best for the club, and we all know we need change. time to take a gamble? for me yes. MC wont kill the club, may well be the best thing we could of hoped for, or may be a chancer, wont kill the club tho and where we are now imo hes worth a punt. from what I hear its 99% done anyway

How much “in the know” do you think he thinks he is? At no point did you say he was loyal and hardworking either. You stuck to your perceived negatives, so angry or not, you were upset. That’s just daft.i don't know what to say to that or who you are but would you like me to say that you are loyal and hardworking too? its a football forum, why would i start with that? me upset? by a football forum? highly doubt it, mildy irritated ill give u. everyone here is desperate for good news and facts, its rather unhelpful when someone comes on and says this or that is happening when they don't actually know

Gogs is one of the most hardworking, loyal and committed Falkirk fans I've ever met. I'd encourage you to focus your anger elsewhere because he is the last person that deserves it.
at no point did I say he wasn't loyal or hardworking, just pointing out that he isn't as ITK as he likes to think judging by some of his comments - and there's not a lot of anger in my post is there?

About 30k I would guess plus another 15k or so for his assistantlets all take the prophet as being the main man in the know...….. this another guess then yeah? like the 2 more players to be signed post the other day that oddly didn't materialise? or the MC presentation was poor post? you obviously aren't anywhere near in the know as u like to make out, if I were you i'd stick to selling pens, paper and post-it notes or just deal in facts and do every FFC fan a favour...…….

if/when we go down a league there will only be the main stand open surely, and it will be half full at best

the only way to fix this shit show is for not a single person to renew their season until the lot of the board get to f**k. also need to tell saviour sandy to ram his 75k a year south stand rent and hardball the council for whatever nonsense we pay them for the rest. only board member worth their salt is our commercial director k k. get everyone else to f**k and start again
