Gaz FFC Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Plenty TVs either showing a game from Sky/BT or old Falkirk games. You tube is jam packed with stuff they could put on to get fans in the mood. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 We have a bar open before and after the game and it's a great set up. Plenty TVs either showing a game from Sky/BT or old Falkirk games. You tube is jam packed with stuff they could put on to get fans in the mood. We ditched sky Sports though, it costs a fortune for something that is very rarely used or needed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I basically put the sky sports/ BT bit there as I felt if you want to steal customers away from all the other pubs in the town, you need to give them a similar service. I personally would be happy to watch old Falkirk highlights rather than the offerings of Sky but I may be in a minority. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes it so amazing the bar in our west stand failed so spectacularly. As far as the bar goes I'd like to see it either cheap and no sky or Town centre prices with sky. They better not take the pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Taiwo appeal withdrawn with no comments from anyone. Odd. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Costs £1000 to appeal and probably thought it was not worth the risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 All feels like financial trouble ahead to be honest. how on earth have they managed to mess up again? I do think that is necessarily the case the business is messed up - yet...........They lost 130k last season and still have 500k of cash in the bank at this moment when we are at time of year where football clubs have the least amount of cash. Last season that number was 600k at this time. Only had 66k of the league money from last season so far that comes in towards the end of the season I believe. (Premiership clubs get a much higher % of their cash in August the rest have to wait. The challenge for me is actually the people involved and where they want to take the club. There is no burning ambition to go up despite the chairman spouting off. The MSG still have a huge influence despite what the board tell fans. Only two of the board are on there now and one has little influence. It needs serious fresh blood and fresh energy with a clear a plan to get us out of this league. The stadium is a massive stumbling block and the cost of it. The club have to somehow get shot of the council to make progress. Hopefully elections next year will see the end of Labour in Falkirk and that the stadium ownership can be resolved. My stance has not changed for 8 or 9 years. The current custodian s have been there too long and have never really progressed the club on a consistent basis for any length of time. Time they moved the club on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadwell Dog Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) What's the story Re Taiwo appeal. At AGM Houston said appeal had been submitted and now for some reason it's been withdrawn. Cynic in me would say that it was originally submitted to placate questions at AGM and then withdrawn to save a few quid. All in all it sums up how big a shambles things seem to be behind the scenes at present. The story on the website highlights the complete lack of transparency at the club. We as fans,share holders etc are not even being given a reason for the withdrawal even after the manager has insisted at the AGM that we will be putting in an appeal. We will now be playing an extremely important game missing an important game. Again on field matters are at the back of the queue when it comes to our club.

Gaz FFC Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Could Taiwo maybe be injured and appealing seems futile? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Surely not. He'll still have the suspension points held against him which could cause problems further down the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I wouldn't see the SFA overturn the decision of a referee who just got the league cup final especially a day after getting it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
