We should all fill our pockets with ripped up paper and as the teams are coming out do an Argentina 1978 display, see how much Hamilton like paper when they’ve got wads of the stuff to clean up.

Fun idea but would probably end up with us having to foot the bill. Don't want to stoop to their level either. The Accies and any of their fans defending it are proving themselves to be a bunch of inconsiderate low life's and I have no issue with them showing everyone that. Just a shame it's our fans who pay the price at this time of year.

We've put on some decent shows for the home fans of late, but just ONCE in recent times, when the away fans turn out in accordance with the importance of the game, I'd love to see us turn in a proper, lay a marker down performance. 

We saw 1 cracker in the first game at EEP last season but even then couldn't turn it into 3 points. Other than that, let downs. 

Desperately want us to go through there and grab the league by the scruff of the neck and make it clear that we are going to keep on winning. 

Airdrie away last year in February/March felt like a marker at the time but yeah, slim pickings otherwise over the years.

FFS a reminder of the lowest point after supporting our team for best part of ……..many years. 

Saturday - we need every single player to simply turn up and give it 100%.

Surely the playoff debacle was the low point not a game that we won.

Yet another self inflicted, shambolic PR disaster for our club. Things like this happen too often as a result of having a "stadium company" seperate from the club. The owner of the stadium has utter contempt for football fans and should not be involved in football in any capacity 

All this will do is distract from the game and cause unnecessary issues. Surely Falkirk fans that are inconvenienced like this will just go into the home end creating a potential safety risk. The "stadium company" have a history of  putting fans at risk by putting away fans in the home end to save a few quid. But hey look, we have a shitty ice rink. Total shit show.

The new owners of the club have made a huge difference but as long as those running the stadium are involved, this type of shit is what the club will continue to be known for. It was stated at a recent fans forum that the long term plan is to get rid of these clowns, needs to happen ASAP!

We have something roughly similar, in that we're tenants in our ground and have our own stadium company to deal with, which is owned by the local council. The difference is that we seem to have a good relationship with them, at least to judge by multiple statements made by our current BOD. 

Genuinely curious about your situation. How can an external body have an input in ticketing? We own or have century-long leases on all the seating areas, even though some of the floors below them are owned by the stadium company. So nobody else has control of our tickets. And despite the lunatic ravings of one of our regular posters on here, it doesn't matter even if the stadium owner has "utter contempt for football fans". Because we own or have secure rights over the parts we need to run a football club.  

Which from your post, and seeing what happened to Clyde, obviously isn't the case elsewhere. Maybe some of our boards past and present have done better that they're given credit for. 

I may be opening a can of worms by asking the question, but what exactly is the position with your stadium?
