Agreed, I always think players are better with one of each. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 On David Mitchell he wasn’t great for us (Championship) but would prefer him if he had his Clyde form ahead of Mutch. We can’t go into another season with Mutch as number 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is lesser Hampden finished yet? Seems to be taking forever. Whose doing the job Ferguson shipyards? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Miller the best left footed center back ever to play for Falkirk. For 2 to 3 seasons he was immaculate and in the clubs best half back line Markie Miller and Gibson it still sounds good after 50 years 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even they'd have it finished. Problems with the original builders which involved them being punted and COVID combined to put it well behind. Supposedly ready in August but only with one stand. Two others in the pipeline. We're going with a hybrid pitch rather than plastic, I'm glad to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with Keith Gourley, Nigel Serafini and someone else from FSS who's name escapes me. There wasn't an agenda and i was asked "what do you want to know" I felt they were fairly candid. Spoke about large amount of playing staff committed to next season on very decent wages for our level and the challenge it will be to move them on. Spoke about the likely even bigger challenge getting out of this league next season will hold with potential teams coming down and Queens Park planning to spend big. I was advised no decision made on MR for next season either by him or by board but my feeling was if MR wants it he'll stay on. I put across my views about how poor we have been since he came in with no upturn at all and that would concern a large amount of support. The issue re getting players from abroad is all but resolved. The pitch needs replaced probably with a new astro pitch due to revenue from ground sharing you cant get with a grass pitch. Recognise the need for players with more physical stature who can tackle. Club will stay full time next year, mainly due to large amount of full time players we gave contracted fir next season. All in all a pretty grim picture if im being honest. Thanks, confirms a couple of things I have been saying over the last few months. 1. It will be difficult & expensive to move on all the under contract unwanted players, despite someone on here telling me it will be relatively cheap & easy - based on I suspect no knowledge of the situation. 2. We won't be going part time next season based on the above, despite someone else on here continually listing it as an option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks say ah well other sides manage okay on it but they will play there twice a season. Falkirk play on it and train on it , it has to me causing injuries to our players. It has to go but we are potless after years of paying off crap managers and signing on fees for hunners of jobber players, so it's here to stay for years yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Time & again, we've seen well drilled part-time teams, turn up at TFS with a game plan, stuck to it, & waltzed off with the points.Being organised is a MAJOR part of the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being organised is a MAJOR part of the solution. #PedantsAnonymous 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
