Jan mosniack Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Hi folks, running a mini bus up to our game at the TFS on Sep 16. Was looking for recommendations for a boozer pre match. A fun, friendly, cheapish establishment with decent food would be ideal. Thanks in anticipation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park up, enjoy your food and drink, and you will in all probability get a seat on the complimentary bus down to the ground (and back again). There really isn’t much close to the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd probably recommend The Graeme Hotel. Fairly reasonable in price for drink & food. It's always packed with Falkirk fans on a Saturday though, so it's probably a good idea to try and book the wee function room to guarantee a space and decent service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottsdad Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 There was a pub attached to Coasters when the college was open, and it was cheap. Don't know if it is still open though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is the rub for TFS as a venue -its location. Home or away fan it's a hike from the town center, taxi car or a bus not exactly a customer friendly location. What is needed is development around the stadium to encourage footfall. Same goes for the Kelpies, people turn up have a look at the attraction, there's nothing else to entice them to stay and they bugger off. Once folk hang around services will locate there to service them. But that is too much of a good idea for the Falkirk Council's liking 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that is too much of a good idea for the Falkirk Council's liking Its taken years of chat, and designs of fancy fucking flyovers, and theres still no means of safely crossing the road in front of the stadium. I tend to aprpaoch from the other side these days but it always blew my mind that theres nothing there, and that people arent routinely hurt. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Black Bull in Polmont might be a shout too, they have a wee function suite attached to the main pub. Again, you might need to phone about availability. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy from Laurieston Bowling Club, which isn't too far from TFS, used to post saying that they are we open for business for fans on Saturdays. Maybe give them a ring? Don't know if they do food though. Their number is 01324 629931. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Kinnear Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 The Auld Toll on Grangemouth used to actively encourage away fans/buses, it’s a Celtic Supporters Bar now so I don’t think that’ll be a good option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some local auld boys I know avoid it becasue they believe the owners dont want "regular" type punters and would rpefere to peddle to a different market and also the food. Its not hard to see what they mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there's plenty better pubs in stenny/larbert I tend to go into now! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Commercial is far better, much friendlier and cheaper too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
