The crowds in 2017 were boosted by away supports of around 1800 on at least 6 occasions. In league one your lucky if you get 200 from away supports with some only double figures. Compared to some other clubs who have spent seasons down here our crowds have held up pretty well. I appreciate your "glass half full attitude" and it is nice to have something positive to hold on to as literally everything else about and related to your club lurches from disaster to disaster. Good for you. It's all terrible but lots of people regularly watch it being terrible is your mantra. -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Deary me that was a tough read I seen Murray at a petrol station earlier in the week in Livingston presumably ready to jump on the M8 to Airdrie. Looked miserable in his Airdrie tracksuit, he will be a happier man with the Navy blue on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for you. It's all terrible but lots of people regularly watch it being terrible is your mantra. I don't think you'll get many on here agreeing with you re me having a glass half full attitude. We've been abysmal on the park and recent boards have treated fans abysmally off the park. You could possibly say that the loyalty of our support has worked against us at times as bods have seen approx 2500 season tickets sold every season no matter how crap we've been on the park and that's given them little encouragement to really improve things. Other clubs have seen crowds plummet due to similar circumstance. Feck me QoS who used to have a decent support had 600 turning up the other week and that was then still in the champ. Aye, Raith, Morton have never seen crowds recover. We are beginning to reach a stage where things need to turn around or crowds will finally started to really dive . Thus season is a big one for us in that sense. Edited April 29, 2022 by Shadwell Dog 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FFC1965 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Agree with the post that cited ST sales as evidence of our support holding up (despite us being rotten). Since season 19/20 Falkirk fans have confounded logic by renewing STs in significant numbers - over 2k this season. We've been saying for the last 3 seasons that ST sales must surely plummet this summer - I'm not sure that they will do so, but if they are to go off a cliff eg nearer 1k than 2k then it will be this season or never. If the replacement for Rennie isn't an out an out gamble eg McGlynn I can see folk huffing and puffing then reluctantly finding the money for an ST. The new Board may not be perfect but at least are fellow FFC fans and not the "If I'm not Chairman anymore I'll get my Saturdays back" brigade that have thankfully been chased out the club. My guess would be 1800 STs which I suspect would be more than any team in the Championship next season bar Dundee. I know that the league tables aren't based on ST sales (if only!) and we are in L1 on merit but STs provide the bedrock of investment in the first team squad. Its a fact that in general there is correlation between money and performance, its just that we are Scottish football statistical outlier at the moment (= we've pissed money away on dross left right & centre). I've no grudge against Airdrie, said a couple of months ago that I thought they'd go up via the playoffs and while I know that FFC have to get our own house in order first and foremost Id much rather have Ayr in L1 than Airdrie next season.

JustLuvinThepian Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I'm hearing Peter Murphy from Annan Athletic is a strong candidate. Annan are still involved in the play-offs so could be a while before anything is announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea and Busquets Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Well it’s not going to be Rice (thankfully) now after he signed a new deal with Alloa this afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinatoon Bairn Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Right so, so far we have; Ian Murray, brief discussions had but nothing major to happen until after the playoffs if anything. John McGlynn hot favourite Peter Murphy another strong candidate. Wonder how long this list will end up being by the time we actually appoint someone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see us getting anything out of this and for those travelling, enjoy your day in Glasgow. Oh this could be our equal best win of the season. QP have a minimum of two and potentially four play off games coming up. There is no way they field anything like their best XI tomorrow for a game that means nothing. As said previously, they will be playing their kids tomorrow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gav-ffc Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Spotted Kenny Miller down at the stadium while getting the car washed, nice Louis Vuitton bag on his shoulder i must say. Those EBTS pay well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
