Always had a lot of time and goodwill for old shiry pirie despite one of the best chants from opposition fans having a dig at Falkirk. 'Shiries a great wee team, geez goal geeza goal geeza a goal. If it's firba yer after don't go to Brockville. Shiries a great wee team geeza goal geeza goal geeza goal geeza goal' Brilliant! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 2 hours ago, StuartA said: I think it’s a gross mischaracterisation to bracket us with the crisis clubs. We have no debt to speak of and since the crazy £1m loss season, our finances are much better managed. That’s not to say we aren’t hand-to-mouth, but we aren’t £10m in the hole like DU, letting our players go like Edinburgh, or perpetually gray like Livi. I don’t think even Motherwell should be mentioned in the same breath. The difference seems to be ownership. Fan run clubs make an honest fist of managing their operations transparently, responsibly, and efficiently. Where it’s a single owner or ownership is more opaque, it’s more complex. Exactly. There's a big difference between being in danger of going down the tubes completely to being in danger of being stuck in a league where full time football becomes unsustainable and having to revert to a hybrid or part time setup. We all know that staying longer term in league one would mean big changes to the structure of the club but in the case of other clubs in that list administration is a more likely outcome. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shodwall cat Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 13 hours ago, come on shire said: Scott Honeyman's signed for us until the end of next season. He's a starter every week for us and is influential for any real threat we create to the opposition this season. We have to play him due to how influential he is so when he returns to Falkirk he'll be all the better for it. However as you'll be a Championship club by then he may need a further loan to a club at a higher level. We've also signed former Falkirk player Morgaro Gomis until the end of next season. His experience is exciting. It's just the end of this season according to our press release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky_ffc Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 We get stick for having ideas above our station but I don't know a single Falkirk fan who thinks this. It's mostly a myth that other fans use to have a go at us: Spoiler We are massive though 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly a myth that other fans use to have a go at us: Reveal hidden contents We are massive though It’s been done to death (I think I’ve said what I’m about to say before) and it is often very fun/entertaining because there are some who actually get quite wound up by it. However, folk alway miss the distinction between where we should be and where we deserve to be. We deserve to be in League One, that much is obvious. We’ve had a long spell of being absolutely rancid for years after a litany of terrible decisions and clowns running the club, coming nowhere near really even getting out of the division in that time - it’s only recently we seem to finally, seriously be getting our act together and be on the way back up again. Should be, for me, relates to things such as fan base, infrastructure, facilities, potential for growth, history etc, and is based on the assumption that the club itself is being run properly and to its full potential. On that basis, we should be a club which moves between the Premiership/fighting at the top of the Championship. Putting all the patter aside, none of this should be controversial. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

come on shire Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 13 hours ago, Raybowski89 said: Glad to hear he's getting on well. Didn't realise it was until the end of next season he was with you guys. Hopefully Gomis can bring some experience to the side and help turn things around. I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that nobody wants to see the Shire fall any further. Have there been any updates on the stadium situation? I read that they were considering moving into Grangemouth's stadium going forward? Still don't quite understand why they left Firs Park in the first place. I've heard about Grangemouth stadium but I don't know the political ins and outs about the club unfortunately. My family are all Falkirk supporters. I copied my papa at supporting football so I'm the odd one out... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's mostly a myth that other fans use to have a go at us: Hide contents We are massive though It's defo a commonly held viewpoint by fans of other clubs. My gaffer is a Partick Thistle supporter and he's always saying that Falkirk think they're a bigger club than they are. We have a fanbase that's far beyond any club at our current level, that's for sure, and would be within the top 4 teams in the championship in terms of support. People will say that Livi are a Premiership side and they have no fans at all, but Livi are an anomaly. I have T-shirts that are older than them. At Ross County, the whole town of Dingwall only has a population of 4,000 I think it is? The fact that they still average around 2,000 attendance is crazy when you consider that that's 50% of the entire town turning up on matchdays. I was saying the other day that the dream is to get back to the premiership, and hopefully one day build that fourth stand. Is that having ideas above our station?

FalkirkBairn2021 Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) Adding nothing to the thread but the more I hear about what a total c**t Hartley was in general whilst at the club the luckier we are to be shot of him. It's disgraceful he lasted so long. Edited January 11 by FalkirkBairn2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
