Bairn to Believe

How are you sure? I can tell you how I’m sure - it was confirmed at the FSS agm on Friday night we had the third biggest budget by a club director.

Both have owners willing to just write cheques currently. Tbf hamilton sold a few of their youngsters down south as well.

We have the third biggest budget. Cove and Hamilton above us.

When are you guys expecting martin to be back involved? Seen he was doing light running. With you guys wanting Rankin out, do you think the kelty result will ensure he sees the end of the season?

Surely hartley takes him off at HT. he should be off by now.

Heard the same about the kids football side of things.

Anyone else watching Falkirktv having issues with buffering and play skipping?

Nesbitt. Bring tait on.

Never said he wasn’t free to talk to who he wanted. Just meant from a personal point of view don’t like stories like this popping up before a big game. As I said he goes with my good wishes.

Aye he’ll go with mine as well. I wasn’t counting on him staying tbh like yourself a bit suprised by the destination - suppose he might look at it like - chance to win regular league titles & cups, probably double his wage and the odd CL game.

According to the Belfast Telegraph (no sure how reliable that paper is), CM7 was over there last week. Looks like he’s off to linfield at the end of the season. Not great timing for this coming out. Hopefully (he is as committed til then as he’s always been - I’m sure he will be.)

Over 4500 already bought for Saturday.

Mate only sign up when it’s right for you. The things you pointed out were correct - economy in the toilet, cost of living is a sh1t show and you are putting money in. Don’t feel shamed at all. If you do sign up - superb, another voice to strengthen the collective. Top man!

I don’t think anyone is trying to shame anyone into signing up. As I said in an earlier post, we all contribute in some form whether it be tickets, merchandise, hospitality, FSS or all of the above. However it is factually correct to say that there are people who can afford to but just choose not to sign up. That’s their choice. It’s not unfair to say - that FSS members on all levels of the income scale also buy strips, season tickets, etc etc. We were asked before the FSS was set up if fan ownership was what we wanted - the vast majority responded yes. With fan ownership comes the need for fan funding. The FSS has never pressured anyone into signing up, has always understood financial constraints and even understands those who fundamentally disagree with fan ownership. Like ShaggerG says hopefully your finances become a bit easier soon and as I say you are already contributing so there is no shame to be had.

Like others, not taking this game for granted at all. Accies will be looking for a reaction - it’s upto us to go full pelt from kick off and make sure they don’t get it.
