Poor old Forbes Johnstone in the middle of the pic. God rest his soul.:(

Quite by chance I met Forbes’s father a few years ago. Lives in Edinburgh.

He couldn’t speak highly enough of FFC who offered fantastic support to his family despite the fact that he had been away from us quite a while before his death.

He feels so strongly about FFC that he comes to games from time to time.

really nice to hear.

Martins never re opened after it got fucking destroyed in a mass brawl on a Saturday afternoon. Best guess would be about 2005ish?

I wasnt there but knew some folk who were.

Was never in it. Only ever drank in a few pubs. Firkins during my student days and that weird on that was on about three different levels, briefly opened as a smoke free bar just before the ban, then shut down altogether. Smiths and the Wheat sheaf on a rarity and the woody when I still stayed in Hallglen.

2005? If it was 2005 then I must’ve been in it just before it shut down.

I remember I split up with my girlfriend, at the time, in about May 2005 and went out with all my mates, we tried to go to every pub in Falkirk starting from down Grahams road. I can remember we were in Martins that day/night. Full of underagers if I mind right, bit of a shithole, had went right down hill.

Couldn’t remember a thing about Martin’s apart from being involved in a mass brawl.
