Keep your fingers crossed that we go up this season along with Hamilton and some clubs don't get relegated and you could have quite a few away games on your "doorstep" - Ayr, Morten, Thistle, Queen's Park, Airdrie United and Hamilton (as long as they don't play silly buggers again and have you going to Falkirk for your ticket first). Aye, was looking at the championship and that's a lot of easy access away days, for sure! Credit to all the fans that go to places like Cove and Dumfries btw, not knocking it. I just can't see myself realistically doing that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a lift from Edinburgh available for folk if you can put up with the smell of wet dog. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stay in the southside of Glasgow so also hoping for lots more local away games next year Looking forward to going to Annan on Saturday for the first time but it will be a hell of a timesaver for me if we can get up Edited December 21, 2023 by NavyBlueArmy1876 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was in Dubai for recently all watching a couple of games online and did think it would be a good idea to have a portal to identify Bairns for around the world and at home to car share or watch matches together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I brought this up. Aye, car sharing etc is good for the environment but football is simply better when you enjoy it with others. A 3-4 hour car journey is surely made that we bit easier when the car is full of fellow supporters all spouting pish patter etc. Won't be making the journey to Annan so I guess I'll need to look into a VPN. That article 50 3pm kick off on Saturday nonsense seriously needs popped right into the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeit they didn't get into the ward in 2020, 2021 and 2022, probably because of covid. Massive shout out to the nurses and the NHS in general. I met the ward sister on our first visit and it was great to see her again on Monday, nine years later. No matter who the players or management are they're always very good with the kids, as anyone who's attended the junior bairns training days will know. But the real heroes are the nurses. They do an amazing job. i remember seeing them in the children's ward at Falkirk in 2000 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow if you think Aberdeen, Annan or Dumfries is some sort of expedition from Falkirk god bless you. I Guess you take a holiday nearby, maybe on the coast where they do a nice ice cream . -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavyBlueArmy1876 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Annan and Dumfries aren't even that far tbh. Not much further from Falkirk than Dundee and probably around the same as Arbroath time-wise which we usually take good supports to. We took over 600 to Queen of the South last month and I'd expect at least as many for this game The only away trips I'd put in the real ball-ache category are Ross County and Inverness, Cove and Aberdeen. And we also took over 600 to Cove earlier this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you stop by the farm next time and drag some of your fellow fans along as well too. My point is I don't think it's Falkirk fans needing lectures about travelling all over the country when some can't even cross a bridge. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact of the matter is - the clubs at this level are not well-supported at all. Falkirk really shouldn't be going to Hamilton and outnumbering them 2:1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
