Compare that to BBC's Scottish Football page - headline; "Who will take the last semi final place?" - its a 45 second video of Govan, Celtic and ITC winning their 1/4 finals. Neither Falkirk or Ayr are included in the footage, neither is there any commentary or written reference to either team! Now that's coverage...
That's harsh. There's a still image where both ourselves and Ayr are tacked on in the final seconds!
I actually thought it was their highlights package.
However, it's par for the course - the BBC Football Scotland lead story is about a player who's been 2nd fiddle for 18 - 24 months at his club and whether he'll get a new deal

From what I've seen online, there are flags beside each seat. Hold one up.
There is also a banner which will be displayed. If you're in a row where the banner is please hold it as high as you can.
... and get there early!

Re: Atmosphere
... There is a core group of people who go every week and sit in the top corner of the KM7 ... If we want atmosphere to improve we just simply need more people to get involved. Majority criticise while sitting on their hands.
...
Final note: If everyone in the KM7 gets involved tonight, this display will be a success so please can everyone play their part.
Sounds like we need to unofficially designate that area near the end of the KM7 as the section you want to be in if you want to get involved and let it organically grow. Anyone not wishing to sing/chant as much who'd normally sit there can budge up
Good on you and others who've organised this and hope it goes as well as planned
I and my usual attendees will be along earlier than usual to participate in the display.

A safe standing terrace would be a good thing in theory at TFS.Edited 1 minute
Perfectly do-able while we're below the Prem.
Only thing I'd borrow from baseball
would be this idea. Buy your Bovril etc and stand and watch the match.
The East stand area would be ideal.

I think in many years of the club doing a lot to attract families to the stadium, which is the right thing to do and you can see it in the numbers, thr atmosphere has suffered accordingly.
I disagree. The families grow and the kids pick up the songs (for good or bad!) and its passed from generation to generation.
That we don't sing is for me, due to a rather threadbare songbook which has consisted of WBWW, "Down in the town" and "You are my Sunshine" for the majority of my time watching.
The others are fairly anachronistic such as Stainrod, Scobbies and McHughs in recent memory so don't tend to get an airing much.
Not heard the latest ones particularly clearly for McGlynn and Rowe but from what I understand they fall into that category.
Love it or hate it, Amarillo is still a belter but it's not one we tend to start on our own.
Maybe we're not very musical

College would probably be the best shout.
£4 in the North Stand car park. It's reasonable and never sold out. Only issue is exiting. If you've ever played Mario Kart your sorted...

The ref should have done something about the amount of shit lying on the pitch in the first half. Surprisingly it was cleared away in the second half.
Aye seemingly noted in his report but did f**k all to rectify on the night

Easter Road has corners filled with advertising boards ...
Lot's of if's but IF we did build it and even IF the Scottish government ban alcohol adverts we could sell it as prime location for, say, a new local tourist attraction IF the distillers wanted to advertise with us

How would we get out the KM7 at that corner? Would need to be able to facilitate that and access for emergency vehicles there I think? Some sort of moveable advertising boards would work I suppose instead of blocking it off completely
Plenty of room down in that corner and there's two exits just now. IF a structure was erected you'd likely be able to still use the exit behind it.
I'll amend my idea and make it double sided and have a massive, Insta-grammable Falkirk Highlander on the back

Only issue with that is we become known as the club who has painted extra fans!
We'd lose any crowd w*nk argument from then on and we can't stand for that!

Also think the placing of large advertising hoardings between the stands are a great idea.
Agree but selling more advertising is where it might come unstuck.
Alternatively build it and use it for permanent flags or slogans. Even a contemporary mural/artwork to block off some of the corner space perhaps.

I hate how far from the pitch we are
That's standard in any modern stadium and that thinking's not changed since the early noughties. You'll never get stadia like Brockville was with all the safety and rules in place nowadays.

All comes back to the badly designed stands at TFS.
We've an overly ambitious main stand perhaps but wouldn't class any of them as "badly" designed.
There is no where in the TFS which has a bad view IMO.

No point crying over spilt milk now. Need to use the injustice of that “goal” as motivation for Monday and beyond.
Aye. Yesterday was sare but wee bit more perspective today we still have much to play for.

Callumn Morrison missed a penalty at that end against Queen's Park last season
Thanks for the correction.
2 in roughly 150 games - 3 years apart - does seem low but then we have just gone over a calendar year before our recent award ... at any end, home or away!

Any statto's able to pull together penalties awarded to us shooting into the North Stand as opposed to the KM (when temp seating hasn't been used)?
Answering my own question and by no means exhaustive - feel free to correct - but I reckon we last had a penalty awarded at the North Stand end in March 2018 v Greenock Morton.
Incidentally, it should also be noted that the ref made the award immediately whilst the linesman failed to flag what appears to be an obvious foul.

Moaning about the refs in the aftermath of a defeat just looks like sour grapes but can you blame us when they've been so woeful.
Additionally, as much as I despise the NW mob there can be no argument that their numbers and hostility has an effect on the linesman.
Sadly due to the layout of TFS we just don't have that ability to, ahem, influence the officials to a similar degree

Miles over.Someone needs to read the rules. Last time I checked it was still the whole ball that had to cross the line.
Having seen the actual footage and not the still it's bang on the line so no goal.
I thought the ref had a decent game bar stopping play to clear the projectiles thrown on but should've known one of the other officials would have a 'mare

Do you want the trophy handed to you just now?
As a Falkirk fan then that would be lovely
.
However, it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek. Presented with all the facts and what we witnessed last night that's what I'd call it but we've all got to cling to something.0 -

Obviously at the other end of the pitch, but why did McGlynn wait until 70+ to bring on McGuffie, if I had scored a hatrick the previous week I would have been demanding a start
I'd have had him on earlier for Kennedy. Was obvious by then that Kennedy had ran out of ideas and hitting the byline was playing into your hands.

Loved that tonight
KM7 stand was rocking where I was sat and hats off to the organisers of the display
We looked comfortable, I thought, early on and could've gone in front. Ayr probably peaked too early and we looked spooked after the goal but settled into the game.
Penalties like buses as well!
Fair play to Nizzy and Kennedy for attempting to shoot from distance.
At the end you could see how far we as a support and this team have come together.
Lets give them everything from now until the end
