vikingTON Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 1 hour ago, Brockers61 said: One of the issues seems to be that we are continually targeting fundraising at the same group of fans. As was suggested last night perhaps an appeal to the Falkirk diaspora would be worth trying. 5 million living in Scotland but another 25 million of Scottish descent living elsewhere so if we apply that factor of 5 to the 4000 who turned up last Saturday then we are looking at potentially 20,000 people around the world with a Falkirk connection of some sort. Create a 'Bairns Abroad' club or some such grouping where they can join and receive updates on the club etc and membership guarantees them a free match ticket when they come home from Australia or wherever to visit Falkirk. Hahaaaaaaaaahahaha. They left your hovel for good reason M8. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I dread to think what sort of pic he/she would have had on page 3, so best to count our blessings.

Being metal they'll make a richt noise, ken, when the 10 bob bits hit the tin.

Proudtobeabairn Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 A few things that strike me from the last few days: Any attempt to ask the same fans to fund a new fan scheme is not going to work. We should 100% be pushing FSS more. There are lots of ways to do this but we should start by offering some kind of benefits. Suggestions like the one @Brockers61 made about targeting overseas fans or giving perks to FSS fans like exclusive online content or the chance to choose strip design etc wouldn't cost anything but would entice more members imo. The marketing needs to be much better. The Herald article reports that the club couldn't have been clearer that without investment we wouldn't see out the season. My recollection is the message was strong but not that panic stations level of urgency. I still don't think the majority of fans realise the state we're in. P&B is a bubble. We need to settle on a hybrid fan/private investment model. We were losing 4-500k in the Championship then pinning our hopes on promotion isn't going to be enough and FSS needs time to grow. Having said that, failing to go up this year would be an unmitigated disaster. The new pitch grant is great news Airdrie & Dunfermline fans are p*cks 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing how many home fans stagger down today. You will be outnumbered significantly that's for sure! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

third lanark Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 To be fair every club is feeling the pinch now not just Falkirk. Fans can’t afford to go to games as much with the cost of living crisis etc Did Falkirk not sign a few players in January anyway? So probably not in too bad a position. We couldn’t afford any. Also probably get a few hundred thousand for Falkirk following your runs in the league cup and still in Scottish cup 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
