roman_bairn Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 I would love a safe standing terrace on the East side of the ground as long as it was a quite decent size.Give a small section of it to away fans which in my opinion would enhance the atmosphere Having a split terrace like at Ayr or the old Brockville would be great for atmosphere imo. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Having a split terrace like at Ayr or the old Brockville would be great for atmosphere imo.Totally agreeThe atmosphere in the choir at Brockville was definitely enhanced when their was a decent amount of away fans on the other side of the fence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 There's more than enough people getting into Falkirk games for nothing without extending it to over 65s that pitch up at the stadium in Jags and Mercs. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranaldo Bairn Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Pretty straightforward really. We'll need to cut out the occasional sloppiness we showed when we play against the better teams in the league though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopeStreetWalker Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 The 4th stand being built has but to be based on economics. Can it be filled on a regular basis ? Can it be incorporated into a hotel, sport complex, social club or something that would make it a cash cow ? Above all it has to help make the whole stadium more marketable as a financial contributor rather than a drain on the club funds. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise planning permission would be difficult. About time there was a Holiday Inn in Falkirk (or Grangemouth for opposition fans). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reggie Perrin Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Need to get the council to f**k then Problem is we have a hung council where the Tories and Labour (shame!) almost automatically vote against the SNP group who are a bit more sympathetic to FFC.I always suspected that the blast zone issue was an excuse for the then council to run with their own anti FFC agenda. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't ever think that was too likely, all the pie and the sky shit about built in sports villages and hotels is why we ended up with the ridiculous joke of a stadium we have now instead of a smaller complete one from the start. However tourism is on the up in Falkirk now with the wheel and the keplies and some other stuff so it might be more viable than it was when the stadium was originally planned. I am sure there are over a million visitors a year now, a hotel right next to one of the biggest attractions could probably rake it in. Maybe that guy hannigan that likes to play monoploy in the town would be willing to invest a bit in a hotel and run it, he already does a bit of sponsorship with the club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourism in revenue isn't, thanks to the town's two main tourist attractions being a) no-where near the town centre with nothing to encourage folk into the town centre, and b) next to massive car parks, so the majority of folk drive to them, have a wander around, get back in their cars and drive home. The Wheel and (especially) the Kelpies are nothing more than nice-looking white elephants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadwell Dog Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If the Falkirk Gateway project had gotten off the ground then things would've happened on the stadium front by now but it seems to have been a shambles from start to finish with cash being pished down the drain on developers who have developed absolutely hee haw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
