    Same reason as Livi have been in the top flight.  You can get some variance when good or bad managers, boards, big transfer fees or sugar daddies shift the dial, but ultimately everything regresses towards home attendances.

    Actually everything regresses towards the total wage bill. That’s the one highly correlative metric that counts in all leagues ( more than turnover or transfers). Read the Numbers Game. 
     

    of course having a high home attendance makes the wage bill higher too, but that is the best predictor of final success

    I have heard on semi good authority we have been talking to Oakley.  We take what we want from the diddies from Greenock. The boy Blues is poor.

    I’ve been thinking of him: and we would weaken serious rivals at the same time, that said he does seem to get injured regularly tonight being the case in point

    It is the big what if indeed.

    Falkirk were further ahead than Jim Mclean's Dundee United. Alex Ferguson was assistant manager to Willy Cunningham and there was a lot of young talent with potential on the books. Stewart Kennedy, John Kennedy, Alex Beckett* John Young* Ian Harley, Tom Mcleod, Doug Somner, Stewart Wheatley, Colin Fowler to name a few that come to mind* these 2 went on to be stalwards in Fergies St Mirren team. Ferguson had even lined up Andy Gray to sign for the club.

    As you said - What if

     

    Fergusson wasnt very successful to begin with at Man U. There were fan protests calling for his head iirc. There’s no guarantee he’d have done well with us. 
    plus he called the team out on strike and then changed his mind. I was forced by my parents to miss the match and go to the Trossaughs that day with visiting relatives and I cried ( very young) when I found out I’d missed a match.  
     

    also he once told 10 year old me to f**k off.    So bugger him lol. He wasn’t a great player and a total cheat.

    A good win in the end but that should be the last game mcginn starts and certainly the combination of him and Tait didn't work.

    Although we should have taken our chances and wrapped up the game in the first half we improved massively when the subs came on. Glad to see Ross getting an assist as he's worked hard over the last few months with the minutes he's had.

    As I sit in a chip shop in Moffat my contribution to this was that McGinn was slow to a ball he should have shot from then struggled to get back to cover when the ball broke behind him. Sadly it’s over. Thank you for your service. Enjoy your medal and coaching.

    Spare us the super fan bollocks - doesn't matter how long you've been going. 

    Yesterday was brilliant from start to finish and you're moaning about too many Falkirk fans and some guy with "fat legs"! 😆

    No one said I was better than someone else. And I want these people to come along but don’t try to tell me that they are not more fickle. That’s why they boo an undefeated team. 

  6. One issue as we win more often the people coming aren’t as committed or as informed as those who support us through thick and thin. And it’s less comfortable, the huge guy sitting next to me yesterday had no issues with leaning his fat legs into my personal space. 
    But worst are those who moan if things aren’t 100% perfect.  Sadly we want these people to come along but it’s really fucking irritating.
