I'm planning on signing up next month, I feel like it's not really been made clear on how you actually sign up. Would maybe also get more traction if the club itself posted about it? (They may have done that already, I maybe missed it)
Apologies in advance but I'm not sure it could be any clearer than what's described here: https://falkirksupporters.org/subscribe/

Totally agree. This is a no brainer. Creates atmosphere, potentially generates future fans, does something for the community, parents might come, and they potentially spend on refreshments, scarves etc
Apart from the small matter that away fans were moved back to the North stand because they couldn't be segregated.
Won't this just re-introduce the same issue albeit in the North stand?

That’s actually no a bad shout for the authorities to look at. During the winter months I bet there are some older fans who would welcome the choice of whether to watch games in the house. Too sensible for Scottish football bods though.
Not cold weather specific but got me thinking: What cost to stream Falkirk TV inside the stadium concourses.
Might there be additional revenue to be made from what would effectively be electronic advertising or potentially up-selling to a captured market.
Just a thought.

Not even half way through the window
...
I get that but we've got three games to negotiate before it closes - Getting past one which could then potentially fund next year and the others are now must win league games.
Rowe was a welcome addition and helps cover Williamson's absence but in letting others go AND the quite unexpected loss of Alegria we're only an injury or two away from a perceived crisis.
Anyone before Saturday would be a boost as waiting and falling further behind is unthinkable.

It's still early and we knew - and wanted - there to be departures but it does feel like we've been weakened during this window rather than strengthened - so far.

You've got to wonder why rangers would recall him though. He's playing regularly, scoring goals and seems to be enjoying himself . Chances of him getting anywhere near the rangers side are very slim. His other loan spells haven't been great and now they're cutting this one short when he's doing well. Doesn't make sense to me.
Complete guess but cutting it short based on compassionate leave possibly.

What a chant
Decent.
2023 update:
Ba de ya - We've got Aidan Nesbitt...
Ba de ya - He's never been the best but...
Ba de ya - He'll run around the pitch all-day ...

I think those ones are difficult for a referee as where do you draw the line, the players got his shot off without being interefered with. You very rarely see a foul after that.
Really you'd be disappointed if it was given against you as where is your player meant to go to stop that happening?
It's a free-kick anywhere else on the pitch so should be a penalty in the box.

Montrose were very naughty all the time
Nesbitt's tackle before his 2nd goal was pretty naughty ... glad the referee and his stand-side linesman were useless on that ocassion!

Squad going to look a bit thin today without Alegria and Lawal plus the bodies that have shipped out.
3 in the door at 09:01 please
I think there will be announcement(s) this morning.
Marketing ploy or paperwork related as long as we get some signing emojis pre-game I don't mind.

Hetherington leaves for Arbroath on loan. Doubt this will end in a clamber for his return like Dowds did following his spell.
Going by McGlynns comments we've seen the last of him.
Fair play going now and earning a deal over the remainder of this season than have to mess about next summer.

Just realised Dick Campbell has reunited Hetherington with Keaghan Jacobs
.
I knew he was madcap but that is setting himself a next level challenge to avoid relegation with that pair in your side.
Goading Accies to boot and taking the chance that they're gone already!

Yeah I feel sorry for Williamson. He’s got some talent but he must be at the stage of considering alternative careers. Can’t imagine he’s on a huge amount though, given his age.
I can't help but compare him to Kieran Duffie in recovering from injuries.
Some players seem to be made of glass and no matter how talented they are they can't "trust" their own bodies eventually.

Scottish football still offers the cheapest method of acquiring a little club, and simply by chucking £500k a season at it, you are in with a pretty decent shout of being able to take them from the bottom flight to the top flight.
Of course, once the money is unplugged, it’s pretty much certain that relegation will quickly follow.
That would apply mainly to Ross County and Queens Park at this point in time as Uncle Roy and Willie Haughey are the ones shelling out the cash. It doesn’t apply to the Launderers because they operate under an entirely different model.
My original point wasn't in relation to the money or fanbase but as to how "flexible" the rules always seem to become wrt to other side's with (or without) suitable grounds since our attempt to reach the then top-flight all those years ago.

With Edinburgh winning and Montrose drawing, Saturday allows us to pull away from the pack.
It's shaping up to be a great run-in and yet, one slip up and it's perilous again.
Can we handle the pressure.
On a sidenote but how galling will it be when Queen's Park are allowed to use Hampden until lesser Hampden is ready. It's a stick on that it'll be heralded as a triumph for them and against the odds yadda-yadda ...

Absolutely- the club should be carrying out a full investigation and the person responsible should be out the door
We can't rule out espionage at this point either.
Check the board room for listening devices and "studs" in the changing rooms.

I don't think anyone will appear before Monday's game, unfortunately.

... , so hoping McGlynn has the balls to have a go………..
A bizarre assessment.
In the two games we've played against them we've taken the game to them on both occasions. Not sure why it would be any different on Monday other than making sure we keep a clean sheet this time.

The league we are is and our player churn over the last few years does not help. The quality needed will have better and more reliable offers out there and that is how it is no amount of wishful thinking will change it.
...
Once that is achieved the squad needs dumped with a few exceptions as just not good enough to stay up as the Dundee game proved the current lot won't cut it.
You've contradicted yourself.

Absolutely no reason why we can’t have a successful academy and develop young prospects sourced from other clubs.
Essentially this is how the club operated before people decided it had to be one or the other!

At this point fan ownership isn't the aim of FSS.
It's understandable that the FSS - and the club - want rapid growth but whilst it's in its infancy I think it's going to be quite organic and slow.
