I think he means there is an agreement in place where by the 25% + 1 is ring fenced for the FSS in any future share issues should there even be one. Also with a 75% threshold needed for a special resolution the FSS would have to vote in favour of any future share issue for it to even happen in the first place so would have to be in agreement with it, your original point is a very “if my auntie had baws she’d be my uncle” type post.

18BAIRN76 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 That's great news - arguably our most improved player from last season. I didn't think we were able to be handing out new contracts until we knew what league we're going to be in though? Not being negative btw, a totally genuine question. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gav-ffc Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Great news about Coll, has came on a long way since last season, what a difference not having Ryan Williamson to his right and Brad Mckay to his left. Well deserved. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSW does have a point in the fact that if the shares were diluted and FSS unable to instantly buy the extra required then it could change the complexion on how much of a say they can have on things, depending how many shares were issued and bought by a new investor. To be honest, I think a lot of it is a moot point as I don’t think any new investor would chuck in money to only have a portion of the club. I’d imagine most would want a majority share and control over the finances. If that was to be done on a new share issue then would have to buy over 5m shares to do so. Can’t see anyone wanting to fork out that much money, not in the near future anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not trying to stir sh*t and have no particular disagreement with any decisions made to date my point was about making sure that when needed, the model works for the paying members first and foremost. Honestly? I'm happy with the progress FSS have but I'm not sure how the reps would know my views. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree members and members views come first and foremost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raybowski89 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) 2 hours ago, Long Suffering Bairn said: I have researched my family tree for many years. I have a couple of thousand of relatives and ancestors from Falkirk, Larbert and Stenhousemuir. The most common occupation for males on my tree from this area were Iron Moulders, Foundry workers, miners and labourers. That's an insight into the nature of the district, heavy industry. Look at a map of Falkirk from the mid 19th century, the town is about a third iron works. So yes, Falkirk doesn't seem well planned and can look a bit rough here and there and the high street has deteriorated, but when you take into account the history of the place, it's not so bad. A great wee town. Thanks for sharing this! My mum's side moved to the Falkirk area from Newbattle, in Edinburgh. They were all miners and moved here in the early 1900s to work in the mines in the area around Maddiston. Must have been absolutely horrendous (and the work itself wouldn't have been much better ) Dunno if anyone has watched the Wrexham documentary on Disney+ but the comparisons between Falkirk and Wrexham can't be denied - sleeping giant, located within a former heavily industrialised town, with a particular focus on iron and mining. Had a soft spot for them ever since I watched it and always look out for their results. Edited January 26 by Raybowski89 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Kinnear Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Great news getting Coll signed up to a longer contract and hopefully others follow. Wonder how this sits with the rumours of part time football if we don’t go up 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a win win, there were probably clubs sniffing about him and so if they want him they'll now have to pay a fee regardless of what league we are in next season so makes sense to get him tied up now. I just hope there are one or two more follow suit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how this sits with the rumours of part time football if we don’t go up I don't think makes any great difference, if it did come to that I don't think we'd be totally part time more hybrid. So we'd still have some full time players. I think it's likely that maybe a club or two were after him this window or on a PCA. Hence get him tied up now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
