I really can't see anyone paying cash for Loy this month. I do think he may sign a PCA with someone though unless he signs a new deal at TFS that is.

Good gesture from FFC to pay for the buses and it was a shame that only 1 had taken up the offer to travel.
I've often thought in this situation that if the club are happy to pay for buses, organise a few from the stadium.
There's many fans who go by car, train or indeed a bus who just aren't running and would certainly travel on a free coach.

If he goes, he goes. I'd like him to stay but he'd be no bigger loss than Farid, Taylor etc.
We'll find someone else of similar quality, we seem to always do.

Get the prices down for this.
£12/£5 at least.
Brechin will need to agree obviously to any reduction but I can see £15/7.
Brechin's league prices are £12/6 so can see them wanting more for a higher placed team at home.

I'll take a lower league team at home in the cup every round to the semi to be honest.
I want to progress more than landing a seaside team away for a "day out" or a big gun for a potential "pay day".
Hopefully we get passed Brechin and then land a Spartans etc.

Will sign on January 1st on loan I'm told.

I'd imagine someone would spend a tenner on a calendar at one of those calendar stalls in shopping centres so may not be too bad in terms of price.
£1 goes to Strathcarron from every sale too I think.

Good to see that Falkirk Council have approved the cafe/bar and hospitality lounge application for the 1st floor of the South stand.
Great for match days but will also be a good venue for the teams/groups who rent out the pitch/5s pitches too.

I bet the club are hoping for a decent walk up at the gate on Saturday, looking at the ticket website it appears less than 100 have been sold so far for the South stand and around 300 in the West stand.

Phil Roberts was at the U20s match v Hearts on Tuesday night. Or at least it looks like him....

My mate got a reply from the club regarding pricing for this weekend.
Apparently FFC wanted reduced pricing however CFC could not agree to it and therefore pricing has defaulted under Scottish cup rules to the home clubs lowest priced league adult price.
Shame really as was never going to be a huge crowd but will Probobly be pitifully low now. 1500 at the very best.

I might be showing my ignorance here but why do we not see the income from these?
Those mentioned were retained by Falkirk Stadium Ltd as part of the separation.

With regards the completion of the stadium, I think it is the right thing to do for the long term benefit of the club, especially as we are now 100% located there, training and all.
I don't believe for a second the club want to waste money on 000s more seats but to actually use the East side for money generating facilities and dare I say it in hope, a safe standing area.
I'd like to see a moderate covered terrace, maybe 1500 or so, with a gym and indoor facility either side of it. You only need to look at Broadwood now to see how they maximised that empty land.
Along with the new cafe/bar/lounge being already created on the 1st floor of the South stand the club would finally, other than the 4G pitch start to make money and full use of the stadium.
Let's remember we currently see no income from;
5 a side pitches
Office rental
Westfield Lounge
The bulk of income generated from the hospitality lounges.

Hearts getting a share of the main stand like Sevco.
Sensible, considering the size of supports they are commanding just now.
The 3,800 left for us will do just fine.
That said, it's live on Alba and a 5.30pm KO which may hit numbers in both ends.

Didn't we buy the north stand also through a special loan with the council that we then ended up getting simply handed to us as part of the stadium company debacle?

Looks like circa 1000 tickets have been shifted so far by Falkirk fans for tomorrow night. Would imagine a few may PATG but not a lot.
Not great at all but not surprising.
I'll be there but in hope rather than any sort of expectation.

Chalmers came onto a game the last couple of months.
Re his holiday. Unfair on him to be honest, other than the fact it was Probobly booked well in advance, let's not forget he was injured.

Brian Graham appears to be the front runner to sign assuming United get another forward in.
He'll score 20+ goals in the championship and alongside Loy would be a good piece of work by Houstie.

We did what we had to do today, we won the tie. I thought we controlled the game to be honest and never looked like losing.
Cooper & Alston's second were great goals, regardless of opposition.
Great bunch of folk at Stenny cricket club too before the game. COYB

Looking forward to Saturdays game, even if it is the "diddy" cup.
Enjoy going to Ochilview to be honest, hopefully a decent Bairns crowd will be in attendance.

Pretty poor there's no seating option for away fans at Awfulview next Saturday.
I love terracing and can't wait to get back on it but some fans, especially the elderly will struggle to stand for over 90mins or will not be able to attend at all.
I'm not being funny, but Shire won't need 700 seats in that main stand, some - even just 150 - should be made available to FFC.
On another note, I heard at the game last night we are just shy of having sold 2,650 season tickets. A great figure.

Disrespectful to the Rotherham fans who no doubt went to Dumfries on a Saturday rather than Falkirk on a Friday.
Yep their fans are raging on the forums.

Yeah, pulled up in training on the Thur/Fri and wasn't risked on Saturday.
