The Falkirk FC Thread


Recommended Posts

Looking at the games we've still to play before the end of the season. Obviously the game v Edinburgh on 29th April will be postponed but would we have to play it before the Peterhead game on 6th May? Is there scope to play the Edinburgh game after the Peterhead game or could the Edinburgh game be brought forward bearing in mind we still have the Montrose game to play?

We have an opportunity to get a big crowd through to Glasgow & possibly bigger than ICT due to the likely KO time. I think a target of 10,000 is doable (more would be amazing) and would be some sight for the players. 

Inverness will take 3000 max . It's a semi final not a final and them having won it there's no novelty value for them. They could only muster  about 2000 at the quarter final at home.  We should have more than double what they have comfortably.

Good bit of it is offset by the TV fee if anything it should add more into the coffers.

Unbudgeted bonus for the club and could not have come at a better time. 

I listened to the podcast with the directors this morning. Interesting take on the stadium and certainly contradicts most if not all your views

It will be brought forward. Every game must start together in the last round of fixtures. Only other option would be playing it 3/4 days after the semi.

First League One club since 2006 to make the semis (not counting the Govan mob) and a chance to play at the national stadium. Couldn’t give a f**k if it’s half empty, it’s a day out and an experience for the fans and players alike 

Aye but the thing about that was it was Gretna and we didn't have Brooks Mileson millions

Well done Falkirk as you were the only team playing football last night. As others have said Ayr were a one man team whereas Falkirk passed and attacked. I did think Ayr had

 escaped with that penalty but clapped at both the miss and Falkirk's deflected winner.

That’s going to be a right busy period, good job we have a decent sized squad.

First post since last night. Loved it last night. Was really proud of the whole team, coaching staff and every single fan.

My son was a mascot in 2013 and he was there last night as a 19 year old man. To see and hear the emotion in him at full time was fantastic to see. On the flip side, my 75 year old dad who’s been going since he was a nipper is now wanting to run a mini-bus so the whole family can go to the semi. No way he’d do this if we were playing an arse cheek.

Happy for people to contradict me but my opinion is firmly that these occasions are better when you ain’t playing either of the bigots. Nothing to do with the fact that they will likely hammer us but more I can enjoy the day with my dad and my boy and not be on edge about what their scummy fans might say or do.

I’m really looking forward to it and genuinely think we have a good chance although I’m sure the ICT fans feel the same.

Last night was brilliant - roll on the semi final.

Certainly not putting the cart before the horse here, but can anyone tell me how many tickets we got for the R*njurz final in 2009?

14,000 from memory
