Need to use the injustice of that “goal” as motivation for Monday and beyond. Aye. Yesterday was sare but wee bit more perspective today we still have much to play for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 I was down after Tuesday night but on reflection we are in a much better place than we were this time last year. We have a Scottish Cup quarter final to look forward and we have a good chance in the play offs. Even if we don’t go up the squad won’t need the massive overhaul it has in the past 4 seasons. McGlynn has proven his worth in the transfer market and has emptied most of our dross to bring in better quality additions. It will be hard to face another season in League 1 but if it happens we will still be there in numbers. We are Falkirk fans and backing the team is what we do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 The Ayr game gives the players a couple days off, after an incredibly busy few weeks, and the players a couple of days away, time to reset. As posted we’re in a far better place than we’ve been for some time, albeit with some hard work till season end. I believe that the play offs are doable for us, but should we not make promotion, I do honestly fear for us next season if we are all honest and being realistic. We’ve managed a near 0.5M shortfall this season, but we have the same scenario next season before a ball is kicked. Will the STs & PATG numbers increase? Will the FSS numbers grow in significant numbers?. Will marketing/BOD secure new sponsors? Will the patrons and private helpers continue to dig deep? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Hampden full houses (if OF are not playing each other) will generate huge revenue for us. Work it out for yourself and then add on the extra prize money too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still have an Avenue open to us to rectify Tuesdays defeat, beating Ayr would be massive. The crowd have to do their bit and be as noisy as possible. The young team are vocal but there are only a few of us in the Grangemouth end of the South who sing. We need the whole Main and South to be singing on Monday. No point having crowds of 4 thousand plus if the place is like a library. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So things like displays are easy for them. If we were to do a display it has to cover the whole KM7 stand. We're attempting one for Ayr so hopefully it works 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Pars fans created a good atmosphere during Novembers game though so hopefully we can do likewise on Monday night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some diddies singing about dead people but not much else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same guy who does the displays in the North West has done displays in the Norrie and at Falkirk. They were about as simple as you could get but everyone was aware about them beforehand. Edit :While not exactly difficult, they are very time consuming for whoever is organising it. Edited March 9, 2023 by Grant228 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit :While not exactly difficult, they are very time consuming for whoever is organising it. Our last attempt at a display against you a few years ago was woeful. It was a spur of the moment in reaction to the fans being miffed at the club for allowing the Pars to create the top picture display. It wasn’t well planned and not everyone knew about it. As you say these things have to be planned and communicated. Edited March 9, 2023 by Harry Kinnear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old fashioned singing and certainly no drums 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
