Normally in these sell on clauses it’s the %age of the “profit” so anything over his original transfer fee, it’ll still be a fair whack, papers saying 200-300k.

I'd be shocked if we were paying any of his wages tbh. At the time it was a convenient move for both parties - Hogarth was guaranteed game time while PJ was injured, plus he's a local boy who could provide his own accommodation thus saving FFC some money. I guess now that PJ is back we couldn't guarantee that Hogarth would start and although Forest won't need the money they'd probably prefer to pay him to play for their 23s rather than sit on our bench.
If you listen to the JM interview he says forest moved the goalposts, so either wanted more money or guarantee of game time, given PJ’s performances the last 2 games I’d say they wanted us to contribute more money to his wage, cause he would deffo be 1st choice imo.

Whoever is writing these updates really should step away from the keyboard and pass this job onto someone else.

For me it shows that If you want to call the shots in any club you need cash behind you, whether it’s through your own or other peoples ….we have a club that at the moment has neither.

Cricket off today back tomorrow Racing cancelled for two days, back on Sunday. IMO we will play next Saturday.
The protocol I was talking about was the time the funeral was after the death not what organisations decided to do.The issue with these type of things isn’t when the obituary procedure starts but when it ends or fades out, nobody wants to be the first or show insensitivity by restarting to early.
Saturday games off for me is sensible and hopefully games back next Saturday.
Only thing in terms of FFC that’ll be a drop of a few grand from a Saturday to a midweek fixture., which isn’t what we want.

MCKay walked out of the stadium on Saturday unaided I believe. Not sure on PJ but if the rumours on the keeper from Forest are true it suggests it doesn’t look great.
Pj left on crutches, so not great and with Hogarth rumoured I doubt he’ll be out for a couple of weeks cause you could get an emergency keeper on loan.

Away ppv from places like Peterhead or Montrose etc is additional money from me as I wouldn't go but would buy stream. I'll maybe be at 3 to maybe 7 away games this season so the rest are losing money. If you want to go to away away games you'll go anyway, livestream gives others a chance to view. Like others have said the actual figures would be interesting, I can't see how the less central clubs like Stranraer, Elgin etc could possibly lose out
Thing that gets me is the uk & I thing is basically to protect the sky deal, but they only show prem games, so why not allow lower league teams to stream, it won’t effect fans at a prem game, but will give the leagues below a possible extra income.

What's the latest on Ugwu?
It was a non story probably instigated by his agent to try and drum up interest.

What a total waste of 2.5k a week, could have just kept it for this season, but then again if we all had a crystal ball we’d be lottery winners lol

Craig brown too. The great thing about crunchie was that even though he was a winger and an excellent one at that he wasn't scared to do the dirty side of the game either. Defending and winning the ball back in his own half as much as attacking full backs in the other. Very few are interested in doing that.
Watching the doc last night, it’s obvious that Nevin was Roxburgh’s “man” worked with him throughout the age groups, he knew him, trusted him etc. I agree a shame crunchie couldn’t get a call up for a friendly, but as we know managers have favourites and get blinkered.

On a slightly different topic, ticket sales for Crunchies match are slow, hoping many are simply holding off till next week to get a ticket. Some guys on here have worked their bollocks off for such a long time getting this in place, it would be terribly disappointing to see a low turn out.
Yeah disappointing, but friendlies for us are notoriously poorly supported, plus it’s not part of a season ticket, should have just made the first Dunfermline home game “crunchie day” like what they did with Latapy with donation buckets on the day. Considering there is a legacy donation it could be (hopefully not) a poor amount.

Yeah a local company the owner of which is a big Falkirk fan. That’s all the detail they went into obviously wanting to wait until the strip launch to tell us any more.My money is on BTW.

The branding and blurb today does make it look like its the 25th anniversary of the cup final and celebrating defeat, for me naming it before say the scum game would give it more meaning and the type of atmosphere that crunchie deserves a full south stand rockin….

Hearing that Colin Doyle is close to signing in a playing capacity.
I’m assuming it’ll be a player/coach role, which seems logical

How much does it even accommodate for at full capacity? I mean even the hydro is 14300
21k if using full capacity of pitch I’m sure, but I’m sure I heard 25, but that might be just my imagination.

A really nice guy, only met him once at a radio conference years ago, very pleasant and a pleasure to chat to.

Just be patient. If the manager is in post elsewhere they won't be able to announce it till his commitments with his other club have finished. That doesn't mean they haven't discussed things with him. We don't want another McKinnon situation though.
You can’t do that with managers, players yeah, if he’s under contract you have to seek permission 1st. If a club has a whiff that we’re “discussing” then it’s Morton mk2,

I would think that queen's may struggle budget wise next season if their crowd of only 600 odd tonight is anything to go by.
They did have a couple businesses helping with Dobbie’s wage, dunno if they have the same financial support now.

Apart from about 6 houses South Broomage hasn’t changed 1 bit, and of the pals MR played footy with at the Ladeside pitches the vast majority were and still are Falkirk fans, and LHS had a healthy Falkirk support.
