Blame Me Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 On 28/09/2022 at 10:21, Bainsfordbairn said: They had an away game against a premier league side. I'm slightly wary of going into details in case the manager wants them kept quiet, but it was basically what he said in his FFCTV interview. The team was made up of players who're not getting game time right now with a number of the Under 18s featuring. McGlynn seems quite open in his interviews; I'm guessing he'll go into details in either his weekly press interview or the next one with FFCTV. It was against St. Johnstone and is reported in the Courier: St Johnstone star David Wotherspoon suffers injury scare (thecourier.co.uk) Would appear we conceded 4 from the report but doesn't mention much about the actual match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigbri Bairn Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 But that was against a weakened Falkirk side so does not count ! Like us via Partick according to the neighsayers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hartleys18/19Army Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Nicely worded update from the club having a pop at 90% of the fans for the financial woes. Not every fan is as flash as the guys in charge. Some simply don't have the money especially during these times. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing they are referring to this part of the email. Quote Last year 25 fans invested at least £10,000 each as part of the Patrons’ Group, and they may invest more. A further 500 fans also joined the Falkirk Supporters’ Society at a monthly average of £12 each. They may consider increasing their subscription. However, we have a latent fan base of at least 5000 supporters and it’s simply not fair if 90% of fans stand back and watch 10% of fans step up. If everyone chips in at a level they can afford, we can easily achieve these goals. But we all need to put our shoulder to the wheel. We’re therefore asking all supporters to sign up for Falkirk Supporter’s Society before the end of October. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 That is terribly worded and will quite rightly piss a lot of people off 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Deary fucking me. Does anyone actually read these statements before they publish them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bairnardo Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 With the greatest of respect to my club and as a member of the FSS, them (and anyone else who wants to have an opinion on what's "fair" about where I put my money or how much I can afford) can get fucked. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Giving off 'you're not proper fans if you don't sign up' vibes. Pretty poorly written. Certainly not a positive encouraging tone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Seen the words “change” and “manager” as I glanced at the clubs latest post and absolutely shat myself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The email doesn't look great. All about how they respond to.it it though. One thing they are at least emphasising though is that we need cash in and to be honest they couldn't have made it any clearer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I pay £10 a month to the FSS and I probably could afford to pay more but now is not the right time. In the same way that I have said to my wife, no way am I booking a holiday for next year until I gauge how this current UK financial cluster f**k develops, then I won’t be committing money out elsewhere. Things are just too risky at the moment, I’m in a privileged position and I know for some the choice is way more stark, heating the house or feeding the family. Badly worded statement that isn’t taking account of the financial plight many fans find themselves facing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
18BAIRN76 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Also aye that is grim. Did Kwarteng or Truss step up as a guest writer for that statement? Out of touch and stupid as f**k. Edited September 29, 2022 by 18BAIRN76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokeville Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Having a go at 90% of the support is shocking. I guess that a large percentage already either have a season ticket or pay at the gate. That money counts for nothing?

Russ Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 That email is fucking shocking. Not just the wording but the timing of it really is deplorable. Yes we do need more people to sign up for FSS if they can afford it but trying to shame people into it is disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 (edited) Absolutely shocking that some supporters are putting heating their home and feeding their kids before handing over even more money to the club. Club quite rightly calling these selfish b*****ds out. Edited September 29, 2022 by Hughsie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
