RC55 FFC

I think we'll see at least 1 signing in before the weekend.

There will be a pitch inspection, can't see the game passing it however. Pitch is worse today than it was on Friday I'm told.

Where did you see/hear this? Nothing from either club yet.

Cammy Bell is available, just putting that out there.

Only thing I can think of was that Biabi was injured pre final, how that's his fault I'm not sure....

I wouldn't spend money to get 1st or 2nd specifically but if the right player is identified and would enhance us bring him in in January. Best case it helps us finish 2nd (and 2 less play off games) and worst case the new player(s) is embedded for next seasons assault. Next season will be tough too and no easier with Dundee United down and possibly one other.

Terrific season and year from Houstie and the lads.

Yep, I'd invest in a couple of players too and I think we will. Let's cement 3rd and see where our the current form can take us.

Both ER games were all ticket last year BUT there was a ticket pod outside the away end selling tickets on the day. Would assume the same will happen on Saturday.

I'd agree BPM, the only reason the Westfield Lounge now works is that it's ran by the Stadium Co/Council mon-fri. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

BPM talks about the investors/directors making money, not FFC. However, from what I've gathered, FFC will benefit from the new development from: Increased capacity (when needed), hospitality/bar facilities that will retain more profit, gym/sports facilities for the 1st team and development teams. For me, I'm looking forward to watching the game side on again. As much as I like and prefer the SS id like a spot similar to the choir at Brockville for sentimental reasons. Main stand in front of me and home behind the goals to the left. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Would have taken a point pre match today but to lose a goal so quickly, Houstie should be asking questions in the dressing room right now. No ground lost behind us but lost points in front. 6pts is nothing mind you, especially as we play both teams twice in December & January. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

I've seen Falkirk fill both the West and South stands maybe 2 or 3 times in 10 years without the need to give tickets to the Old Firm, Hearts or Hibs. For the rest of the games, inc in the SPL, very rarely would we need much more than 4500 seats that the West Stand holds for home supporters. If FFC were paying to complete the stadium on their own, I'd be less keen to throw money at it, but as it stands we can complete the stadium, add extra footballing facilities and gain income generating options (for the club) for less than a million quid. We may never get another chance, or better one. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Good contribution. Assume the South stand was idiotic also? Seeing as that's not needed for our core support either? Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Spot on. The club are at the mercy of the Stadium Co for all corporate and hospitality pricing. Ridiculous. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Horrible and emotional. Had a wee tear in the eye in all honesty. Still hate going along that way to Morrison's to be honest. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

I believe the clubs land "line" is from the North stand car park as if it were running up to the car park behind the South stand. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

I started off in the wing stand with my dad. Then moved to Cooperage Lane terrace, Hope St terrace and then finally the choir from about 94 until the old lady departed in 2003. That said, I did get a ST with my dad in the centre stand for the last season for sentimental reasons. Watched all bar 2 games in the centre stand that year, Hearts in the cup (4-0) and the last game v ICT back in the choir. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Used to love that at Brockville, first fans to see the team come out. Remember when I first started going in the 80s I'd watch the choir from about 2.55pm waiting to see the hands go above the fans heads to clap the team out. Few years later that was me and my mates as teenagers. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

A terrace would be epic, although should always have a roof. For noise reasons and the obvious weather issue. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Said this before too. Genuinely wouldn't mind an East Stand similar to Motherwell (minus the pillars). Or St Mirrens West stand. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

To be honest, I'm in the "the stadium needs finished" camp. That open side is an eyesore. At least it's going to be more than just seats and sounds like it'll serve the team, fans and community. Re capacity versus crowds, we have a stadium that's too big (main stand anyway) and we'll never have 6000+ home fans (other than one off games, we didn't even get that at Brockville). At our peak a few years ago in the SPL we averaged about 4500 home fans, that's probably our whack. My only hope is the new stand has no more than 2000/2500 seats and is close to the pitch.

None as far I'm aware. I had heard almost all of that months ago to be honest, assume the latest confirmation of progress last night is just that. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril

Stadium completion was confirmed at last nights AGM. By all accounts it will be a stand, offices, hospitality suites and various facilities for the team and community teams. I believe the community side is funding a good percentage through grants. Sent from my iPhone using Pie & Bovril
