Completely theoretical and not sure if we incur any costs over and above the catering contracts but what about the disposable consumables like cups etc. Does that cost get factored into the cleaning/disposal and is additional costs for waste management or is that parcelled up with the council service. Outside looking in we might only guess at true costs of running the operation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed and they outsourced the accounting function which has saved a lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall seeing the FSS AGM or who stood for the committee. But I might have missed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I remember from a year ago at the last AGM there were no new candidates that put themselves forward and so the committee were re-elected by default. This year's AGM is also coming up and there was a recent notice about standing for election for the committee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by the Falkirk Daft podcast with KJ we seem to have a good relationship with the council when it was brought up about moving operations out. However, going by my weekly visits (poor facilities replenishment, which I assume is the councils purview) and the public relationship between the two you'd wonder if the club and council knew each other - Some examples of where they could jointly do more to help each other in my view. The Falkirk Stadium (@FalkirkStadium) / Twitter Kelpies to Kick Off 2023 Tickets, Sat 4 Mar 2023 at 11:00 | Eventbrite All the talk about cost cutting and revenue generation reminded me of a conversation I had with my in law. The Stadium can do more to be a focal point for the local community, to increase footfall on site. Doesn’t need to be solely football but what about hosting bingo nights in hospitality if there’s spare capacity during the week. Anything bringing more people to the Stadium can only be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed...... but we need to think of ways that the Club can maximise revenues from the parts that it effectively owns within the Stadium. Not much point if it just fills the Council's coffers and the Club dont get anything as payback. Edited February 1, 2023 by Zbairn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty raging at a football game but I've never been so raging that I'd Chuck legal tender at someone.

All depends on the cut the council will take for services opening up. Got to be a decent return or people end up being useful idiots for the mob that own the stadium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to be a decent return or people end up being useful idiots for the mob that own the stadium. Why not utilise the south stand? Or the other areas of the main stand the club do have. The council only need be involved (or paid) when and if the club use the function/corporate suites and catering facilities within the main stand. There are plenty other areas of the stadium that could well be being under utilised, the south stand bar for example.

PedroMoutinho Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Personally I think the south stand bar would need investment if you were looking to use it as more of a money making thing. It’s adequate for a quick pre-match pint but not a particularly inviting space where I’d want to spend a lot of time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even voluntarily mentioned he spent £50k on John Stewart. Some laugh eh When he first started yapping it was ok but then went quite cringe worthy, trying to say he only paid money for Stokes to Hibs, John Stewart, Alan Gow and Dean Holden, no mention of fucking wads of cash in wages to the likes of O'Brien, Lovell, etc. Openly hawked himself for the Aberdeen job, just surprised he never mentioned the "fundamentals" and creamed his pants about Aiden McGeady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
