    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.

    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.

    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.

    Quite enjoyed the game tonight to be honest.

    Thought the defence looked better in the most part (on the viewing of the Woking highlights) and we certainly looked dangerous when we went 2 up top.

    Olu had a decent game in the middle and took his goal really well.

    Cooper was poor but Shepherd came on in his place and for into some good positions as always.

    Encouraging, bring on the Shirey Pirey next Saturday.

    The Roker Rovers are doing a pre season mini tour of Scotland this weekend starting with your match v Rotherham on Friday night. We are a small group of Sunderland season ticket holders who enjoy the occasional trip north of the border with the ultimate aim of visiting all the 42 senior grounds in Scotland. We have had some great days up there over the past few seasons.

    This weekends jaunt will see three of us visit your place on the Friday followed by trips to St Johnstone on the Saturday and Stirling Albion on the Sunday. We normally wear our Sunderland colours which might seem a bit odd, but we have found this to be a good way of meeting people as they tend to come up and ask why the hell we have turned up at the game wearing the colours of a team that's not even playing and its becoming a theme now, so if you see us come and introduce yourself.

    I have done a little bit of research re Falkirk and I know there are not many pubs near the ground (the pubs are a major attraction to us, and in fact could be the main purpose of the visit). As two of us are working till mid afternoon our arrival at Falkirk could be as late as 6pm and our hotel is on the M9 junction a mile or so from the ground. Where should we go for a pre match pint? Is there a bar at the ground that will let all comers in or are we better off getting a taxi into town pre game? Will we have an issue getting served in Falkirk town centre on a Friday night wearing red and white striped shirts?

    Any info gratefully accepted.

    Enjoy your weekend.

    Re Friday night, only the West Stand (Main) is open so you'll have no problem mingling. Don't imagine there will be any more than 1,500 there but could be wrong.

    Pubs wise as Gaz says there is a pub at the stadium which may be open otherwise a taxi to town in only 10 mins max.

    Your hotel is just across the road from a brewers Fayre which you'll get food and beer at too.

    Had paid outright last few years but decided to do the finance option this season. Then found out as stuff came through the door that they had stopped it.

    Contacted the club to see what they could do (twice) as first time they never got back to me.

    Still waiting.

    So will just pick and choose what games I go to.

    Email Kierank@falkirkfc.co.uk he got my mate sorted out with the very thing your after.

    I was also down at the shop yesterday to buy one of the new tops. They had hardly any sizes left and I was told that there's no more coming in until mid August. In my opinion that's a shambles from the club. It's the middle of summer and the new seasons just about to start and we have no new merchandise to sell. No wonder you see kids now a days wearing tops from teams from around the world!

    Yes I noticed that too. The online shop hasn't been updated in over a year also, pretty poor.

    Was down at the club shop yesterday and was told it was likely that the Main stand was going to be almost all Falkirk fans at games v Rangers this coming season with possibly only 1/2 end sections being given to them (ie what we did for the Dumbartons & Cowdenbeath's of this world). Terrific news if that comes to pass, they did say it wasn't confirmed yet though.

    I believe this is on the back of strong ST sales. Houstie effect in full force?
