They do seem to have spent a bit of cash while operating on very modest crowds. Brought in a lot of decent players over the summer and apparently still have money to bring in more while still operating a pretty substantial academy set up, presumably the new owner is bankrolling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Hamilton not flog a load of youngsters during the summer for decent cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 4.5k it would be more like Thursday/ Friday. It’s the main school October holidays, I’d be shocked if we get more than 4.5K + Hamilton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to ndp at the next tfs game I should have clarified that that is if the league is still a 3 point gap to the top but we will bring 1000 to ndp easily we done it against clyde last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
come on shire Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Airdrie at home this weekend so Shire away to Celtic B on the Friday night. This frees me up all day on Saturday before Scotland v Ireland at 8pm. So I'm tempted to go to Falkirk v Hamilton. It's probably a 2 way tie between Falkirk and Hamilton to win League 1. However it's still early days so whoever wins gets a psychological advantage but it hardly hands them the title as it's only October. Having said all that I think Falkirk v Hamilton will be the game of the weekend in Scotland. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top scorers in the Spfl, tied on points, a draw puts us both at 23 points any other league puts you top with at least 3+ points clear of 2nd but hamilton would still be second which is crazy and the south stand is going to be rocking all night long come along even as a neutral. this game will set the tone for the rest of the season 1 slip up and it could mean 6 years or a second year in the 3rd tier for Falkirk or Hamilton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing to the team you're neck-and-neck with and the perceived pressure that will bring is the real outcome of this Saturday. For the losers it's then knowing that another slip-up could be catastrophic based on the current form of both teams is what is making this game so important at this early stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Really good and sadly worrying thing I watched this morning on YouTube “Scunthorpe United are dead. What happened?” . Totally underlines for me why it is so important for fans to have a controlling stake in their club and how badly things can go if the wrong person takes over.

The owner is trying his best to sell the club but no one wants it and its got so bad that Scunthorpes version of Falkirk daft has been doing fundraising to pay the wages for the staff which no club should ever have to happen. You just hope that someone better comes in and saves them because they could end up like bury soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football needs to stop being a sugar daddy industry. Costs and, that means wages in this industry, need to be cut in England. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
