RC55 FFC

Totally agree regarding the schools. May be something the new marketing guy will do once they start back after summer.

I see from the SNS pics website that the club are going to be doing "Tickets for Troops" from now on. Good positive news story which I assume will be launched shortly. Well done FFC. http://www.snspix.com/13_08_13_falkirk_photocall/photo/100731.html

I've spoken to a couple of pros and they hate Ochilview, say its one of the worst. Airdrie gets good feedback though. Your right in that we are guinea pigs in the UK but this pitch is being used successfully in a couple of the top Dutch stadiums so should be ok.

We miss the width Kingsley gives us at LB. If the rumour is true and an experienced CH is coming in this week we can go back to him and Duffie getting forward on the wings.

In the current climate we can't afford to have someone missing 2/3 of the season, as DW did. Good finisher with pace but no use at home or in the stand.

I'd rather no music after a goal however out of that list, Seven Nation Army. Amarillo could and should be used as Pre/post match and SNA after a goal. It's upbeat and let's the young guys at least get some sort of noise going after a goal with that "Navy Blue Army" chant.

Found this picture on the Heralds website. Seems to have been taken yesterday.

New pitch coming along nicely, ready for the handover to FFC on Monday. Liking the navy turf around the pitch

Can't see McNamara doing us any favours. Although with Pressley away you never know.

I think all U20s game are open to the public but not sure of costs. I would assume nominal.

Isn't working on mobiles at all but fine on the laptop.

Website seems to be down if accessing through a mobile but ok on the laptop or tablet.

Totally agree, doesn't even look synthetic from close up. According to the FH they have recently installed the same pitch at the training grounds of Arsenal & Ajax and the Beckham Football Academy beside the O2 in London.

I think we'll sign a CH to play alongside Flynn and will allow Vaulks to take up his favoured position beside Olu in midfield.

Totally agree, no chance Sibbald or Grant will be away anywhere. More likely someone like Faulds or Biabi could go on loan.

It wasn't intended to. Heaven forbid...

Pictures of the new pitch look fantastic. By all accounts there will be a navy surface surrounding the pitch between the pitch and the stands and the club crest in front of the tunnel.

Barrowman just tweeted that the media is wrong and he isn't playing today as a trialist

According to his own twitter he's been at Fleetwood Town the past fortnight

He was one of our highest earners 2 seasons ago and would have been on a decent wage at United. He'll end up at St Johnstone or Ross County.

I heard its an ex player just not that one. You never know I suppose with Pedro...."He comes and goes..."

I think the 2 additional trialists from Monday will be more experienced than Loy or Roberts. Glad to hear that Holt may bring in up to 3 players before the Clyde cup game.

We'll have won the league by then, we won't need the playoffs bud ;-)

Don't you know any council boys who could do it for free/cheap?

I know it looks like that from the picture but I don't believe that's the case. I was told it was going to be the same area size the grass was in for Uefa regulations.
