Suppose credit due for activating an online purchase facility, but still run the risk of being allocated crap seats.

In years gone by it’s rear to front.
Its usually poorly Pre Planned and insufficient thinking is put into the most logical way of selling them. I can recall numerous times where family members have gone early to get tickets and we ended up with lousy seats in Row A Row B
I go in the North Stand at Hampden every Scotland match and wouldn't buy a ticket for Rows A to Row L V or higher the view becomes acceptable

Definitely reach out to Laura at the club for a big group batch, she has sorted almost 30 for us. Email address is in the club comms.
Can I ask, were your group allowed to request tickets in a reasonably high row with a decent view ? Would you be happy if your group were issued 30 tickets for row A ? As I’ve said before the Club have always been poor at allocating and selling for All Ticket Matches.

There’s a few friends from quite a distance away who have just contacted me about the online, sorry no online ticket facilities.
Can anyone who is connected directly with the club get this sorted.
Very poor PR about the posting of tickets, sorry but it feels like we’ve handled this badly.The club have always been poor in managing the ticket sales of All Ticket Matches

Inverness use Ticketmaster who we binned for a “much improved” unheard of Total Tickets platform.
Crazy that in 2023 we can’t provide an online sale. Just another way to chase away potential fans. Should be making it as easy as possible for people to get tickets.Agree The bit saying “The Club is required by the Scottish FA to sell tickets in a certain order” I don’t believe that. If I was able to attend the Semi Final I wouldn’t accept being allocated a ticket in a low level row where the view is crap. There should be some scope to select your preferred seat.

You must be off your nut if you think taking over a team mid season is comparable to having a new season and 9 weeks to prepare before your first competitive match. These are the 2 squads from M&M and McGlynn’s first competitive match. You can’t surely tell me M&M’s squad is much better!? Apart from Hetherington, the players in McGlynn’s team that he inherited continue to get a regular game. He could also probably have kept one of the better players from M&M’s team- Telfer- had he wanted.
That was McKinnon's last match not M&M First

He literally goes to the ball and had to jump out the way for the shot.
Completely different phase of play when Morrison is shooting / scoring. As soon as the keeper makes the save phase 1 is finished. Official got it wrong ( Again )

Another match we should have won, but if we’re not going to play two up front, and a forward doing his work in the penalty area we’re not going to score.
Im not going be too critical of some of the poorer performers last night, we need to regroup and work out what is best for the playoffs and Semi Final.
The drink
must have been good in hospitality last night for them to choose Kennedy as MOTM 
clearly clueless who ever made that choice

Sounds like the difference between you and us is the manager ability, or lack of in your case to alter the formation and approach. McPake will rip up his tactics or change 3 players at half time if it's not working. Our management will tweak the tactics and team based on the opposition and if they get it wrong they don't hide and stick to it.
FYI the offside ruled out goal was because Kennedy was off. Morrison pushed down would be a soft pen as he was tapped and fell down. I turned it off after that thinking id seen enough.
Your on a trip. Morrison is two yards onside when Donaldson shoots, Kennedy is not in active play. His position and actions had no bearing on the goal being scored.
The penalty claim, I’ll not even bother arguing that decision with you other than saying that’s down to the standard of officials.

Incredibly crucial couple months of football coming up. I am absolutely bricking it.
If you get your mind set to the team totally imploding and missing the playoffs, Dunfermline winning the league at Falkirk and loosing the Cup Semi Final 6-0 anything other than that will start making you feel better. Don't say on a football forum " Your bricking it" you'll get ripped rotten.

Lewis (FTV) had it last but yeah it’s still kicking about
Here’s a true story about that Latapy banner
2009 Cup Semi Final or Final, can’t mind which one, there was a couple of Pre Match Parties at the Shed, a guy who worked with us was doing his DJ bit from a booth above the main part of the club.
The Latapy banner was draped from this balcony to the floor.A good time was had and I went to balcony to say thanks to DJ, and get my son and daughter who were too young to booze then, when a Falkirk fan, absolutely blotto, starts climbing over the balcony onto the banner. After a bit of a struggle I grabbed him back and asked what you doing it’s 30 feet to the ground he replied “ I want to slide down the Latapy Shute”

They should maybe consider opening only the first 10 rows of the stands so at least there are people all around the pitch.
Actually, for £ 28 and £ 38 the club should do all possible NOT to sell the first 10 / 12 rows at Hampden as the view is abysmal. I will be requesting seats middle to high wherever i choose to go, and the ticketing dept should be looking at with holding selling shit view seats / rows given it is nowhere near a sell out

Nothing to add - just loving my favourite ever DAFC photo on the Falkirk thread
I though you might have meant the other one from the 1960's if you were in it

And despite these three new stands you've just had pages of discussion about how these stands don't protect you from the elements, maybe time to build them again?
You said the stand built in the 60s had terracing, the main stand never had terracing.
The North Stand did have terracing, however has never had bucket seats.
And this is all a bit silly because EEP is quite simply, a far superior stadium to TFS. It would be rather silly to try claim otherwise when there's been pages of discussion on this thread about the problems with TFS.
Now get those main stand sections handed over, thank you.
Your Main Stand ( South ) did have terracing and the players came down steps from the changing rooms in the middle to get on the pitch. Get with it, learn about your club.

Where did you see that ? Obviously impossible to tell live from far end and it was the linesman that gave the goal. The only thing i'd say, there wasn't a goal like roar until the crowd see the linesman running up the park.
So i was right. The ref looked towards the linesman a long time and i'd imagine he asked "Are you sure this is a goal" The ref obviously seen Burrell's block and knew that wasn't over the line. The linesman's guessed wrongly.

Having watched three different highlights, the ball was not over the line. That swung momentum of the game and it was the wrong call.

The big problem the north west has for sound is the pitched roof which means the sound isn't projected out onto the pitch like your stands or the Norrie or the Cowden end.
But it was nervy as hell in the first half.
If you want to know what nervy is, its being level 1-1 with Clydebank for over an hour on the last day of the season, whilst Dunfermline are hammering Clyde, knowing if we lost a goal we'd have lost the League. Of course it didn't happen

From the main stand they seemed pretty vocal tbf. Maybe drowned out by our own fans in the NW if you were closer to them.
Fair play to the Falkirk fans for firstly attending and for being gracious in defeat. Better people than me. I'd be silent asf
You sometime just have to accept you've lost a game of football to a rival. Over the years both clubs have won crucial games, promotions, relegations, Cup Ties, against one and other, we've both had our days. In my lifetime i've had more of these good days than the Dunfermline guys, so i'll take comfort in that. Best of luck in the Championship, see you there next season.

Euan Anderson ref, same guy that did Dunfermline match v Alloa on Saturday, wonder if he got a big envelope left for him after the match. Has done this match before 1-1 draw. Gave Dunfermline a penalty dubious hand ball against Tom Tiawo even before dubious hand balls had become common place.

Exactly.
FSS are currently at around 34% of our adult ST holders and averaging £12/month per member. Hearts also benefit from some rich overseas members who are paying in excess of £50/month.
FoH’s biggest surge was In administration. We haven’t had that thankfully but need to drive the message that, we need to grow membership to avoid it and field a good team on the park.
At the moment it’s not possible to do either till we can grow income and/or reduce overheads to fund a £400k shortfall.
The good news FSS numbers are growing and have had a 7% rise since the turn of the year.
If we got to 56% of our STs on the same average then that would be an extra £5340/month or £64k/year. Would make overall contributions £160k/year and us the largest fan organisation outside the top 6 clubs in Scotland.
If the current membership is say 650 it might get to 1000 in the short term if we were promoted. The target / aim should be to that 650 members to " Sign Up" one or two lapsed / ex pats / relatives that call Falkirk their team but don't go see them. The membership doesn't need to come from folks that actually go to games. I could probably get 3 people without any effort to sign up for a tenner a month, and i'm sure many other members could do the same.

Has a League 1 / Championship Playoff scheduled dates been released yet ? Obviously in May but any specifics ?

We didn't park the bus at TFS either.
McPake will decide the best way to counter McGlynn and we'll go from there, there's no reason for us to be open when we just need a draw and our defence is so solid.
I think Dunfermline will have a go from the off this time. If they win the league is theirs to throw away. If they loose, things become really interesting.

Red card terrible decision, 16 stone man falls as though he’s been shot, manages to twist looking to the ref before he’s hit the deck. Going to look up the ref and see what shit he served us up this season.
Christ he doesn’t do League 1 he’s a top level ref. Fuk Sake

Good to see respectable numbers being bought by our fans for this match and potentially 8/9 sections from North into West being full.
Bit poor from SFA, if they only forward tickets piecemeal, you think they could let the club have all their sections to keep in the safe until time to open up a new section.
Personally, I wouldn’t have issued any tickets in the first 6 rows A to F of any of the sections as the view is terrible, and I’d suspect these might be seats that are given to online purchases, where there is no choice of seat.
Unfortunately missing this one, but be hopefully see us in the Final.
