It's team of the season not team of the last 3 games. He sat on the bench for a good bit of it at queen's park. Should be nowhere near that team. He's a decent player when fit and on form but wasn't for long parts of this season. Edited June 10, 2022 by Jackie Myles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 46 minutes ago, HopeStreetWalker said: From the club statement today 'Replace the playing surface at the Falkirk Stadium within the next 2 to 3 years and carry out further Stadium maintenance, as well as, in the longer-term, consider our options for the future development of stadium infrastructure' Hang on here 'Further stadium maintenance' that must be up to the council who own the damn thing and charge the club mighty for using it. With the extra bonus of oncosts such as electricity seconded staff etc with a healthy % mark up. As Shadwell so eloquently outlined a few weeks ago we are leaseholders and all the club own is the playing surface not the ground it sits on. Seats in the grandstand but not the grandstand. 'Stadium maintenance' should be up to the owners ie the council. Why should the club invest in the improvement of the stadium infrastructure when we have no financial benefit in the increased value it accrues to the worth of the stadium complex. Not unless the council got us to sign up to maintaining and improving their white elephant for them. This stadium stitch up rely does piss me off. Eh no. We pay an annual service charge which is a fixed fee. I am not saying it is a great deal but there are no extra charges on top that you allude to. The improvements mentioned are seats which is the part we own. You need to get your facts correct regarding the stadium before the stress you seem to be under over it gets you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 Brad Spencer re signed at Raith so I think that'll put to bed any Raith players coming to us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worried, if McGlynn was wanting certain players over, we’d have seen them by now. We’ve got to trust he’s looking at others elsewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How’s your midfield set so far? Wondering because with the midfield signings at Raith, Arnott might get crowded out of playing time. JMcG liked him, and I could see him getting loaned. Mitchell is another, but not sure he’s a League One level winger yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benedictus has had three red cards playing against us, I'd guess fourth possibly fifth will happen next season. I'm quite happy he is now a par tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be interesting to see of the leftover players from last season who McGlynn fancies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So does that mean in 8 years time QP will have built a steady 8-10,000 fan base that will support the wage bill for high quality players, DOF, CEO and other hangers on without needing supplementary cash injections? Just wondering. Seems a bit far fetched. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same goes for any council employees deployed. Take for example the concert. The council will charge the club for these services I mentioned.

Even though Glasgow is our biggest city I don’t think there is scope for them to increase their support to anywhere near what you quoted. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
