I'm sure I heard it's a bespoke kit we're getting this year so won't be any of the templates that are doing the rounds...
It is bespoke. Designed specifically for us and wouldn't be suitable for any other team to wear. You'll understand when you see it.
The lady who's our retail guru has done a cracking job.

From a fan of another club I thought your handling of the social media was very well done. Positive for your club.
Well done sir. A sensible post which actually gives credit where it's due instead of trying to wind folk up.
I'm going to do something which is almost unthinkable for a Falkirk fan, at least judging by your recent (diminishing) reputation.
Have a greenie on me.

Surely we should be questioning why our young talent is being allowed to leave for peanuts thats all.
I'm sure there 'll be a fans forum / meet the manager event or something similar on once the season starts. There usually is.
If you want to question, you can turn up in person and do so. We'll all look forward to hearing you report back on what the answer was.

Yesterday was a tremendous event. I've never seen me use 80% battery in 6 hours before.
What really pleases me is the club getting praised for the way they did things.
A lot of good folk down at the stadium and the club seemed to appreciate what we the fans like to see and delivered on a massive scale.
We know the club monitor social media and sites like this so I for 1 want to say to Bainsfordbairn and all the other guys down there Thanks for yesterday and you all did a tremendous job.
It was a pleasure to be part of a great day.
Cheers Gaz. It's nice to be appreciated on here, given that the media person who did all the work yesterday was kicked off the COYB facebook page and so won't have seen any of the praise. As was I.
It was during the bad results towards the end of Houstons reign. I think the justification was along the lines of "we'll ban everyone associated with the club just to let them know that we mean business".
Hmmn. Quite what you achieve by removing fellow fans from a fans website was never clear to me.
Hey ho, as BPM would say.

Sammut smashing the bleep test today, what a boy.
He did aye. Fittest player in the squad. I'm pretty sure last year it was Alex Harris.

First “squad numbered” no 9 from memory was Phil Roberts from memory
That's why you should keep a spreadsheet of Falkirk stats rather than relying on memory.
We first used squad numbers in 2005/06 after promotion to the top league. Andy Thomson wore 9.
Though yes, Phil Roberts was the first to wear it as a squad number after that system was introduced in the Championship.

Really loud heavy metal music in the background.
That would be a wonderful change to all the poppy / techno crap that can be heard booming out of the dressing room on a match day.

Will you be need at the Stade de Bairns anymore this week
I'll be in at 0830 tomorrow as I have four commercial-related jobs on, plus covering the first day of training. Then two further commercial jobs on Thursday and two on Friday.
I suspect the club will give an update on the likelihood (or otherwise) of further transfer activity during the course of the day, at least if todays excellent communications are anything to go by.

How are we affording these players? Not complaining, just hope we don't get in a financial mess again.
I'd speculate that it's something to do with player turnover numbers.
Since May, nineteen players have left the club and I can think of a few more who won't be there when the season begins. We've announced only nine replacements in the intervening period.
Don't worry about personal information. If you annoy someone, and they find out, it'll be revealed. One of our regular posters on here decided to "out" me recently. Falkirk fan too. A few of the Falkirk posters used to know who I was but now the whole world does. Thanks BPM.
It didn't hurt. I'm still alive. There are no stalkers or (sadly) groupies outside my front door. Though I do have to be a little more cautious about what I post nowadays.
Welcome to the fun.

PV paperwork could be taking longer than expected, and this could be Froxy potentially. Does show the danger of putting a list up though if not everything happens. David Bailey @Bainsfordbairn are you at the airport or waiting at the stadium?
Don't expect an answer to these questions all the time Rugster, for obvious reasons, but at the moment,
I'm currently sitting with the media officer in the stadium. However, he and I are pals so we might just be having a sociable evening together.

I'd like to amend that statement to 80%, if you don't mind Rugster.
Four out of five - if they all happen - is not 90%. My arithmetic could do with a little bit of polishing.

I hope you've got your batteries charged for tomorrow, David Bailey!
The battery rating for a Nikon D5 shows that it'll last for 3,780 shots. I also carry two spares.
Do you reckon that'll be enough Rugster?

Thought 3 players had agreed and were getting announced today with a further two on Tuesday? So can we presume 4 tomorrow ?
The website statement on Sunday evening wasn't specific about dates, other than mentioning a 48 hour period.
If nothing has changed since that was released then you can expect a minimum of two tomorrow and possibly as much as four.

Bainsfordbairn do you need a new spool?
No, but if you're offering to help with costs you could always get me a new lens. My 400mm prime is eight years old and won't last forever. Just click on the link below and get it delivered to the Falkirk Stadium, will you?

Thanks mate.

With Don saying that English clubs back doing business I think our rumours may be a bit out
They are.
Assuming everything goes as expected, 90% of the names will be a complete surprise to everyone as they haven't been linked with us.
The club seem to have tightened up considerably on leaks from within. Unfortunately they can't control info from without.

Kit launch is Friday night.

Someone needs to keep Bainsford away from the Twitter account. He's actually trolling us now.
Not guilty DB. I have admin access to Facebook and Twitter so I can upload pictures but that's all I'm authorised to do. The post was put up by a member of club staff.

Thank f**k its only 1 sleep until we can re-engage in wild speculation and hounding Bainsford Bairn for his location.
I can save you the bother on that one Bairnado. I'll be in the stadium virtually every day next week. There's twelve separate FFC jobs in my diary between Mon-Fri, and I can think of a few others that will be added once the players are back.
The majority of those are commercial / new strip related, but there may be one or two or
fitba-type jobs that you'll be keen to see the results of.
The club website hinted last week that there would be signings announced before the players return. We're still on course for that to happen.

Our record is t bad in that regard, but it has been spread out too far to be useful. I mean, we've guys like El Alagui who was a French lower league jobber, Lyle Taylor was at Bournemouth when they were in league 2. Luke Leahy was at Rugby Town which is so far down the league structure that is in a sub basement. Will Vaulks had been playing for Workington. Anyone else have any spring to mind?
If you means players from English football who were a success with us then you would have to throw in Higginbotham, maybe Beck, and certainly going further back the likes of Cregg & Stokes. Overall there's probably been more misses than hits but the good ones have been very good, hence why most of us are excited at this new approach.
It helps of course that so far Hartley's recruitment from England has been spot on.

I've been in there just about every day since Monday, I'm off to Greenock with the Ladies team tomorrow, honestly Bairnado - my trigger finger is red raw. You'ld think they would leave me alone at least one day a week.
