Looking at the fixtures 4 away games on the trot early on will be season-defining.

Of course every game is important and home and away even themselves out but 4 away games in a row is a tough gig.

Wee bit surprised by that….it’s usually 2 away or 2 home on the trot…..in between the usual home/away basis.

We're at home to Clyde on the 01st 🤦🏻‍♂️

For f**k sake ally, that's us finished. Think of all the potential fans who were planning on booking to come see us on the 1st of October only to now think we're playing away from home! If someones not publicly dragged around the park by the tractor at half time on Saturday for their incompetence I'll be outraged.

That's a bit much. Rotten veg in the centre circle would suffice! 😛🍅

I'm serene about the whole thing now.

Works fine for me.

That’s strange. Tried several times and keeps taking me to the page for 2021/22 season tickets. Feels like my phone is taking the piss!

Okay, next point, is try to load https://www.falkirkfc.co.uk/ on a mobile device. I can make a cup of tea in the time it takes to load. Majority of people will access your website from mobile devices. The new homepage has significantly longer load times than it had before.

Are you in the Guinness book of records for quickest cup of tea ?

I preferred the format, structure, design you had of the fixtures than the one we have but that's just personal taste. I have to say it is amateurish to get fixtures wrong, other issues can be understandable but those fixtures should've been checked 2,3,4 or even 5 times afore published.

Im currently in a boat in the middle of the sound of Mull and it loads fine for me.

I'm starting to realise why in the matrix staying in the blissful ignorance was the blue pill.

https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/v5/about. This is the tool I'm using to evaluate performance. It's useful for giving comparisons and for where to spend your energies optimising.

So there's a few sportspress shortcodes. On your fixture page its one called [event_blocks id] which I use too on my front page. I just don't like it when you have so many on a page. Ours fixture list is [event_list id]

Due to Dunfermline, QOTS and ourselves all being in League 1, and indeed a general rejigging of clubs in Scotland, is calling Leagues 1 and 2 the seaside leagues now a misnomer?

The Scottish Premiership has 4 “coastal” teams: Aberdeen, Dundee United, Hearts and Hibs.

The Championship has 7: Arbroath, Ayr United, Cove, Dundee, Inverness CT, Morten and Raith Rovers.

League 1 has 3: FC Edinburgh, Montrose and Peterhead.

League 2 has 3: Dumbarton, East Fife and Stranraer.

Should we come up with another, similarly insulting name for Leagues 1 and 2?

I hope you got yer anorak off for the warmer temperatures today 😶

It's a website for a Scottish 3rd division league team not a stock market website.

Yep it's needing an overhaul, yep fixes yesterday should have the fixtures correct but shaving 0.2 of a second of load time is the last thing that's a concern.

It’s a good point although we’re closer to the coast than Tynecastle.

That is disappointing, if true.

Out if interest, when was the last season that you paid for the board? Surely you weren’t paying for advertising space up until last season and they’ve removed it without asking if you wanted to renew this season?

no payments were due, with the exception of the coming season and it was removed prior to any contact from the club, which was actually only initiated by us upon noticing its disappearance.  yes there's more important things to be sorted but there's been a good bit of chat on here regarding the state of the advertising contracts and payments not being made etc so felt this was relevant. i have heard that there's been a lot up for years without payment and obviously would expect them to be removed.....
